Review of Vaporesso PodStick Pod Kit
Many people think of vaping as a mechanical mod with a drip chamber or a box mod with a tank that can produce huge clouds of delicious and thick vapor (the vaper can be seen from afar on the street). But as it turned out, not all vapers like a lot of vapor, and TX from the liquids based on organic nicotine is not to everyone’s taste. But after the appearance of salt nicotine-based liquids in the vape market, manufacturers have turned their attention to POD-systems or closed systems that do not give much vapor, allow good (depending on the model) to open the taste and have a very compact size. Vaporesso has repeatedly introduced its POD systems to vapers, but that does not mean that it has stopped in this direction. Therefore, the appearance of the new device PodStick Pod Kit, is quite logical and expected. It should be noted right away that this POD will be a real find for those who want a compact, self-contained and practical device at the same time.
General Data
Vaporesso PodStick Pod Kit” is a compact POD-system made in a slightly non-standard form factor, equipped with a powerful battery and working with removable cartridges of different resistance. Designers of the company decided to use quite a non-standard form factor, but it did not affect the overall impression of the device, it has excellent ergonomics and practicality. A powerful battery in combination with replaceable cartridges of high resistance will allow the Canadian vape shop ottawa to get a significant autonomy. Replaceable cartridges are designed for organic and salt nicotine-based liquids, and they implemented a rather interesting blow-off system. Vaporesso PodStick Pod Kit can be purchased in six colors black, silver, gold, blue, rainbow and splashed (spotty).
Kit
It is impossible to say that the producer has completed this POD-system in a special way, because everything is quite standard and customary. Therefore, in the black branded box you can find:
PodStick battery pack;
CCELL3ohm” cartridge (pre-installed);
MESHED6ohm cartridge;
Bottle with a thin spout for easy refilling of the cartridge;
USB charging cable;
Warranty card;
User’s Manual.
PodStick Battery Pack
We can’t say that the Vaporesso PodStick is made in a completely innovative design, as similar devices have already been produced by other manufacturers, but in contrast to the usual felt-tipped vape. In any case, the cross section of the device resembles a truncated drop on one side it is round, and on the other side there is a plane that acts as a control panel.
Vaporesso PodStick is made of aircraft aluminum and plastic, so it has a minimum weight. At the same time due to its compact size the device has excellent ergonomics and takes up little space in your pocket.
Built-in Vaporesso PodStick battery has a capacity of 900 mAh, which is already considered a standard for devices of this class. It is charged using the traditional micro-USB connector, which is located on the bottom end of the device with 1A current, so it takes about an hour to fully charge it. On the side surface there are five LEDs, with which you can monitor the battery level.
The device is activated by a separate remote fire button, which changes its color depending on which cartridge is installed. By default it is blue when the device works at 20 Watts, green at 22 Watts, and red at 17 Watts when the MESHED cartridge is installed. If you install a CCELL cartridge, the power will be slightly different, but the indication will be the same.
I want to tell you that Vaporesso PodStick Pod Kit” works with OMNI Board Mini chipset, so you can use it with 3 power modes and it always works with no problems.
Cartridges and usage features
Vaporesso when making the PodStick Pod Kit” decided to release it in the version with interchangeable cartridges, which is quite strange, as more and more manufacturers prefer interchangeable vaporizers. But since the developers decided to use interchangeable cartridges, that’s the best thing for this device.
Vaporesso PodStick Pod Kit” allows you to use two types of cartridges with 0,6 Ohm grid and cartridges with 1,3 Ohm common coil. As it is clear from the resistance, the first type is used for a fairly free puff and organic nicotine, while the second type is used for cigarette and salt nicotine liquids. The blow-off system is quite interesting, the air intake is made from the top, and then the air enters the evaporation chamber through special channels.
A special praise to the developers for the cartridge filling system, it is as simple and convenient as possible. In order to fill up the cartridge with 2 ml of liquid you just need to slide the top cover in a straight line and get access to the small hole.
Conclusions and impressions
Vaporesso PodStick Pod Kit” is quite an interesting and original POD system that will please many vapers not only with its unconventional design, but also with its practicality and functionality. Despite the use of interchangeable cartridges, the vaper gets a reliable OMNI Board Mini chipset, the ability to choose the power and a decent autonomy.
