From a product specification point of view, the HQD APEX is equipped with a 1,000mAh battery, which is lower compared to similar products such as the VOZOL ACE PRO (1400mAh) and Vaporesso Apex Pod Kit (2000mAh).

 

In addition, the HQD APEX is equipped with three different resistance replaceable pods of 0.4Ω, 0.8Ω, and 1.2Ω, corresponding to an output power range of 5W to 45W. Compared to several other brands such as VOZOL, Geekvape, FRESOR, the HQD APEX has a wider power output range, supporting the switch from MTL (mouth-to-lung) to DTL (direct-to-lung) modes.

It is worth noting that, while the HQD APEX product page displays three different resistance values of replaceable pods (0.4Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.2Ω), the official website states that the product is currently available in 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω variants. However, HQD APEX plans to release a version compatible with 0.4Ω pods in the future.
