Being able to own a pod mod like the eLeaf IORE Lite 2, a pod mod that is small enough to slip into any pocket (or purse) quickly and easily, yet powerful enough enough to deliver a surprising amount of vapor and spot-on flavor fidelity is… well… something I never really believed we’d see anytime [...]
When I was tasked with reviewing the two new Uwell Tenet Pod Mods, the Uwell Caliburn Tenet and the Uwell Tenet Koko, I was hesitant to do it. Both Tenet pod mods are very different vape devices than I use daily. Still, I accepted the assignment and by the end of the review period I [...]
What’s a wolf without teeth? Kind of a sad, bulky dog. Unfortunately, despite a stellar lineage of high-wattage vape mods and pod hybrids, the all-new Snowwolf TAZE 40-watt pod system is an underwhelming entry into a crowded field. While there are some high points to be had with the TAZE kit, there’s not much likelihood that [...]
Do pod mods need more innovation and hybrid design? We’ve argued against it for a while, then keep getting healthy servings of crow right after, because some of the most recent innovations make sense. Today’s hybrid generation of high-powered, adjustable pod systems (like the SMOK RPM series) takes the pod format a little further than [...]
Another day, another pod rig. Yawn.... another same-y intro about hybrid devices becoming the future of vaping… or whether or not they should be. This time around, though, with the Voopoo NAVI pod mod system, we feel like there’s a basis for a true series of vape mods. We’ve said it before, but after we [...]
Didn’t we just review one of these? NOPE. In true SMOK fashion, the RPM series continues the iterative nature of its product line with the 18650-enabled RPM80 Pro Pod System. Like we’ve said before, 80-watt cloud chucking devices barely qualify as “pod mods,” but that narrative is tired. Instead, let’s just review the Pro on its [...]
The Review of the Lost Vape Prana. While most pod mod systems are aiming for higher wattages and lower ohms capabilities, Lost Vape is heading back to vaping’s roots. Not only does the venerable vape company produce the awesome Orion pod system, but now they’ve made a strong gesture toward TRUE mouth-to-lung (MTL) vapers with [...]
To low-wattage, mouth-to-lung (MTL) vapers, the Uwell Caliburn is still the device to beat. Its combination of slender design and potent draws (even at just 11 watts) made ex-smokers feel a lot better about this whole “vaping” thing. So, we were confused when Uwell decided to tempt fate and release a more-traditional beginner device, the [...]
As we mentioned in our best of pod systems of 2019 year end review defining it as “the year of the pod.” For one reason, it was impossible to put a list of top 10 together and call it done. With so many great devices available we had to create another list to accommodate the [...]
Best Vape Pod Mods of 2019 The jury is out on 2019 and it’s clearly been marked the “Year of the Pod Mod.” Representing one of the biggest evolutions that vaping has seen since its inception. These ultra portable, all-in-one pod mod type devices have made quite an evolution from the early cig-a-like styles. Transformed into the [...]
Reviewing the new WISMEC PREVA DNA Pod Mod System - Alright, I’m gonna come right out and say it -- pod mods don’t need to be this advanced. Over the last few months, we’ve seen the pod format evolve beyond the usual disposable trash to become miniature box mod setups. And some -- most notably [...]
When reviewing vape devices, our experiences usually range from “if they only did _____” to “WTF were they thinking?” But these two exclamations very rarely happen within the same review. Yet, it happened here, with the all-new Augvape Druga Narada pod mod system. If you’re a no-nonsense, set it and forget it kind of vaper, the [...]
I was never much of a pod user over my years of vaping. Ever since I began writing reviews about vape products that has changed quite dramatically. As goes with every job I’ve ever had being the new guy means you get to earn your stripes. Positively speaking, I’m building a wealth of knowledge and [...]
The Lost Vape Orion Plus DNA AIO - When we review pod mods around here, we almost always refer back to the Lost Vape Orion as a benchmark device for the format. Well, it looks like we’re gonna have to update all those links, because even though the company didn’t have much competition, Lost Vape has [...]
The Aspire Breeze NXT - A pod is a pod is a pod, right? Well, as we’ve learned lately, this really isn’t the case anymore. While no one is ever going to start an all-in-one (AIO) cloud competition, it’s clear that the trend of sub-ohm pod vaping isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon. The Aspire Breeze NXT is [...]
