A global force in vaping with over 10 years of experience, Innokin are one of the market leaders and are renowned for designing products that cater to customers wanting to live a smoke-free lifestyle.

Innokin have also been at the front of the charge to make vaping a more environmentally sustainable option by changing how their devices are made and the packaging that they are delivered in.

We’ve taken a look at a lot of Innokin products over the years, most recently with the MVP 60K!

What Can We Expect From The Innokin Plexus Pro?

Arguably the most well known tube shaped refillable pod kit from Innokin is the Endura T18E, which released way back in 2015!

Since then, many additions to the Endura range were made, becoming huge sellers across the globe, popular with beginner vapers and seasoned ones alike.

Fast forward to 2025 and Innokin have overhauled the Endura entirely, with the Plexus Go and the Plexus Pro representing a brand new evolution in tube device engineering.

Power, precision and style- the Innokin Plexus Pro has been designed and engineered for vapers that demand more from their devices!

You get full control over the performance of your Plexus Pro and how it vapes, with up to 25W of adjustable precision performance and rear airflow control to tailor the draw to your liking.

And, when you take a draw on the Plexus Pro, it fires instantaneously with 0.01s auto-draw technology!

A 1350mAh battery provides endurance and stamina for all-day vaping sessions, and it can be easily recharged thanks to Type-C charging.

Durable stainless steel used in the frame of the device gives it premium build quality, featuring a 0.87″ vibrant colour smart display for instant information at a glance.

Plexus Cartridges are available in 0.6ohm Dual Mesh, 0.8ohm Mesh and 1.2ohm Mesh configurations, with a 360 degree transparent tank design for full visibility and top sliding refill for convenience.

iTaste engineering delivers optimal performance, rich taste and consistent flavour from the first puff to the last, with ten years of engineering and experience poured into providing the best possible experience with every puff.

Special thanks go to Innokin for sending the Plexus Pro over for review! Innokin also kindly sent over the Plexus Go as well, so we will cover the differences between the two.

And as always, all views are my own..

Design & Build Quality

I have always been a fan of the sleekly designed Endura range and the Innokin Plexus Pro continues on in the same vein, this is a lovely, sleek tube shaped device that has been machined beautifully from stainless steel!

There are six different finishes to pick from, with Shadow Gray, Iridescent Lavender, Navy Blue, Midnight Black, Pearlescent Cream and the fantastically named Pearlescent Rosaline available!

The tube shape makes it a joy to hold, offering instant familiarity and an ergonomic design too. Despite being a little on the tall side, the device itself is actually quite slim and easy to slip into my pocket.

On the front of the device is the 0.87″ smart colour display, which does exactly what I need it to do, displaying the battery percentage, wattage output, coil resistance and puff count.

Off to the side of the screen is the power button, featuring a short throw and pleasing click to it, and opposite to this is the Type-C charging port. The airflow control is located at the rear.

Two Innokin Plexus Cartridges are bundled in with the Plexus Pro kit, you get the 0.6ohm Dual Mesh and 0.8ohm Mesh options which cater to MTL and RDL vapers.

These have a tank style design and complete 360 degree visibility, giving you a full view of the e-liquid in the cartridge. Plexus Cartridges also have a TPD-friendly 2ml capacity.

Of course, they also connect magnetically to the Innokin Plexus Pro device!

Quick Start Guide

How to Fill the Pod

Innokin have designed a clever sliding top fill mechanism for the Plexus Cartridges, you locate the triangle symbol on top of the cartridge and push with your thumb to slide it open and reveal the filling port.

Pop the nozzle of your e-liquid bottle into the generously-sized filling port, and fill the tank up whilst taking care not to go too crazy otherwise it will leak straight back out of the top!

If you are filling a fresh cartridge up for the first time then it is advisable to let e-liquid sit in the tank for five minutes to allow it to soak into the cotton in the coil properly, reducing the chance of dry hits happening and prolonging the lifespan of your Plexus Cartridge.

Operation

Powering the Innokin Plexus Pro device on and off is done by pressing the fire button five times in quick succession.

To adjust the wattage, click the power button three times quickly and the wattage on screen should start to blink, then simply press the power button to cycle through the wattage output in 1W increments.

The wattage range of the device is 6-25W, however the 0.6ohm Dual Mesh Plexus Cartridge is the only pod that can take advantage of the full range.

The maximum output of the 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm versions are limited to 16W and 13W respectively.

Locking the device is done by clicking the power button four times quickly, which locks the power button. You can still vape on the device however, as auto draw functionality is present, so you can draw on the mouthpiece to vape.

The locking function also kicks in after 10 minutes of inactivity, to reduce the risk of accidental firing, and you just click the power button five times to unlock it.

Charging

A Type-C charging port is located on the side of the Plexus Pro, so you just need to use a compatible Type-C charging cable and suitable power output to charge the device.

Whilst charging, the battery status is displayed as a percentage on screen. You can take a puff on it whilst it charges, however this will increase the charging time.

Safety Features

• Low battery protection
• Coil error protection
• Low resistance protection
• 10 second vaping overtime cut off
• Overheating protection
• Short circuit protection

Innokin Plexus Go

Alongside the Plexus Pro, Innokin are also launching the Plexus Go!

This is a slightly smaller Plexus device, that offers a little more convenience as it is solely a plug and play option.

No adjustable wattage is present here, the power output is determined by the resistance of the coil in your Plexus Cartridge, and it comes with a 0.8ohm Mesh Plexus Cartridge only.

The Plexus Pro comes with both the 0.6ohm Dual Mesh and 0.8ohm Mesh versions.

Power output is limited to 20W, and it has a 1,000mAh built in battery. There’s no screen on the body of the device here either, with an LED battery indicator around the fire button instead.

If you are looking for something smaller and a bit simpler, then the Plexus Go is a great option!

How Does The Innokin Plexus Pro Perform?

Whereas many previous Innokin Endura devices tended to cater almost exclusively to MTL vapers, the Innokin Plexus Pro can support both MTL and RDL vaping.

This is down to the adjustable airflow options, as well as the 6-25W power output range available.

You can push the power button to vape or take a puff on the mouthpiece thanks to the auto draw system. The Plexus Pro fires instantaneously, and the vape is consistent and smooth throughout.

It’s a great device to use either freebase nicotine or nicotine salt e-liquids in, I have had no problems with either!

0.6ohm Plexus Cartridge

With the 0.6ohm Plexus Cartridge, you are able to take full advantage of the 6-25W output range of the Plexus Pro.

This is also the only cartridge that features a dual mesh coil set up, and I could really taste the difference here as a result.

Flavour delivery felt very concentrated and intense, with a slight warmth to it as well at 23-25W.

I found that this cartridge is the one you need if you prefer an RDL hit!

0.8ohm Plexus Cartridge

With the 0.8ohm Plexus Cartridge, power output is limited to a maximum of 16W and a single mesh coil is found here.

During my testing, I found that this suited a MTL vape really well, especially when using 10mg Nicotine Salt e-liquids.

It does work best at 14-16W, as I found that it struggled a bit with lower power resulting in gurgling and a weak vape.

1.2ohm Plexus Cartridge

13W is the limit with the 1.2ohm cartridge and this is most definitely a MTL cartridge!

Therefore, this one is more for a relaxed and tight MTL vape, with 20mg nicotine salt e-liquids.

Pod Lifespan

Thumbs up for the Plexus Cartridges here!

I’ve had the Plexus Pro for over a week now, and have only just had to change my initial 0.6ohm cartridge.

That is with some pretty heavy vaping too, so these cartridges have stood up well to heavy use and will provide value for money with their lifespan.

Airflow

A sliding airflow control is located on the rear of the Plexus Pro, allowing smooth and easy airflow adjustment.

It’s not the largest airflow slot, so don’t expect massive clouds from this device, but the design of it means that it caters to both MTL and RDL vaping. You do really need to have the airflow to be fully open for an RDL hit though.

Battery Life

There is a 1350mAh battery built into the Plexus Pro, and Innokin really do know how to get the best out of their batteries!

I got all day battery life from the Plexus Pro, even vaping at 23W with the 0.6ohm Plexus Cartridge, it lasted even longer than a day when using the 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm cartridges!

Pros

• 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm Plexus Cartridge pods included in the kit
• Sleek design with great build quality
• Adjustable wattage and airflow
• Mouth to lung and restricted lung vaping options
• Smooth vape with excellent flavour
• Great choice for beginners
• Auto draw and power button vaping options

Cons

• Tall device compared to other pod systems
• Power output range limited to the resistance of the pod

Final Verdict

Innokin have done a superb job revitalising their tube mod range with the Plexus Pro!

It is a device that can cater to new vapers as well as more experienced ones alike, thanks to the adjustable wattage, airflow and range of different Plexus cartridges.

The Plexus Pro is definitely a device that I would recommend if you are moving from disposables to prefilled pod systems, this is an easy to use kit that gives you the opportunity to try out some different vaping styles and with Innokin’s reputation for solidly built kits, it is one that will last you for a fair while too!

You’ll save money too by using the Plexus Cartridges, as they offer great lifespan, which means you won’t have to replace your cartridges as often.

All in all, this is a very impressive tube mod from Innokin that has a lot of upsides and very little downsides!

I’m looking forward to seeing what additions Innokin make to the Plexus range in the future.

Many thanks to Innokin for sending the Plexus Pro in for review!

1. SMOKO Vape Starter Kit (Editors Choice)

Looking for the best e cig for complete ease of use? Then the Smoko Vape starter kit is the one for you. Here is what will happen when you receive this kit.

Step 1: Open the box
Step 2: Attached the tank to the battery (It’s pre-filled with e-liquid)
Step 3: Vape (Don’t even need to press a button)

You could do that right? Of course you can. Even those with an aversion to anything tech can use this.

So we have mentioned the pre-filled cartridges/tank. What impressed in our testing was the actual flavours. The Menthol, Tobaccos and cigar flavours are excellent for smokers that are making the switch.

They do of course have a number of other flavours available if you want to get away from that familiar tobacco flavour.

During use we experienced zero leaking and the automatic draw was very reactive and worked every time.

There isn’t much more to say about this apart from don’ let its simplicity fool you into thinking it isn’t effective.

As our reviewer said “One of the best starter kits I’ve reviewed…absolutely PERFECT for those smokers looking to quit.”

Features

• One of the most simple vapes to use
• No messy e-liquid refills due to pre-filled tanks
• Realistic flavours
• Excellent value
• Just inhale to vape – No buttons to press

2. Apollo Brez (Best Juul Alternative)

If you are looking to switch to vaping and are looking for pure simplicity then the Apollo Brez could just be the perfect vape kit to start your journey.

The kit comes with 5 pre-filled salt nic pods included in the kit. Which is one reason we think this is one of the nest beginner vape kits available. You have everything you need to not only get you started but also keep you vaping for weeks without worrying about buying new pods.

To add to that it’s one of the best looking kits that is super slim, making it easy to carry around and slip in and out of your pocket.

More importantly, the flavours are some of the most impressive when it comes to pre-filled pods. The nic salt e-liquid that is included within the pods is also the best option for those wanting to stay of the cigs.

There is a lot to like about this setup.

Features

• Dimensions: 104.6 x 16.2 x 8.2 mm
• Simple for new vapers
• Slim, Compact Design
• 320 mAh Internal Battery
• Salt Nic e-juice pods

3. Epuffer Magnum Snaps (Best Cig-a-Like Kit)

The Epuffer Snaps e cig kit is our top pick cig-a-like for new vapers making the switch.

Apart from the familiarity of the looks the main selling point of the Magnum Snaps is the flavours. No facny fruit flavours here, just good, simple tobacco and menthol flavours. Great if you are making the initial switch from smoking to vaping.

The kit is high quality and comes with all you need to get started – 2 batteries, 5 ‘Snaps’ cartridges and USB charger.

The thing we really like is that you can try the kit and if you don’t like it you can return for a full refund.

Features

• Simple to use
• Build quality very good
• Good flavours
• 30 Day money back guarantee – Even if you have used the kit

4. Jacvapour Series S-22 (Best Vape Mod Kit for Beginners)

I’m sure you’ve seen this brand recommended a number of times within this e cig buying guide. The reason is simple, Jacvapour are not only a trusted UK e cig company but they offer a number of top quality electronic cigarettes and e liquids in the UK.

Moving on to one of their latest e cigarettes, the Series S-22.

This is a nice compact mod that offers top performance while being a perfect starting point for a beginner.

The tank that comes with the kit offers both mouth to lung and direct to lung vaping. If you are new to vaping you will likely be best suited to the mouth to lung coil.

Definitely up there with my favourite vape kits for ease of use, it’s a case of popping your tank on and vaping. No wattage controls to worry about!

Features

• Excellent build quality
• Perfect for new vapers with no confusing settings
• Looks great and is pocket friendly
• Good flavour and clouds from the S-22 tank
• Discount code available for all ecigclick readers.

5. OXVA XLIM C (Best Beginner Pod Vape)

OXVA kind of came out of nowhere in 2019 but their founder, Justin Lai, is the former CEO of Geekvape. So some pretty solid credentials.

The OXVA pod systems we have had in for review are, cutting to the chase, superb. Many of us on the team here at Ecigclick use the OXVA XLIM-C as our daily vape. This version has replaceable coils rather than having to completely replace the pod. An excellent upgrade.

What we like – Simple, clean design. Three power levels allowing you to tailor your vape. Superb flavour and even better coil life. Oh, and no leaking either!

The OXVA Xlim C has a side filling pod that is simple to use, a 900mAh battery in a slim and portable body and comes complete with two coils.

Great product from OXVA that will suit all levels of vaper.

Features

• Excellent quality and design
• Compact size fits makes it easy to carry around
• Kit comes with 2 X coils and one pod
• Adjustable airflow
• 3 power levels
• No leaking
• Great for all levels of vaper

6. JAC Vapour VIM (Best Budget Vape kit)

Looking for a more compact, pocket friendly device that is super easy to use? Then the Jac Vapour VIM AIO is our top pick.

The VIM AIO (All In One) kit offers the perfect starting point for smokers making the switch due to its ease of use. Simply fill the supplied tank (or use the pre-filled pods if you want to go pure simplicity), pop it into the slot in the battery and vape. It’s really that easy. For the more experienced vaper this is also a great choice for a backup device or for those looking for a no fuss e cig that performs.

The VIM offers smokers a Mouth to lung (MTL – Similar to smoking a cigarette) as well as the option for a restricted Direct to Lung (DTL – Inhale directly into the lungs). This is dependent on your coil choice, all of which is very well explained on the JAC Vapour website.

For such a compact e cig the VIM also offers excellent battery life with the inbuilt 2600mAh battery. Depending on the coil you choose it should see most vapers through the day. You can also vape this device whilst charging.

Flavour wise JAC Vapour offer realistic tobacco/Menthol flavours as well as a wide range of fruits and desserts. If you are switching from smoking we’d recommend the SMOKING range of e-liquids for familiarity.

Another plus is that JAC Vapour are an established UK company that design their own products. In a vape world dominated by Chinese brands we think it’s good to ‘shop local’.

That’s it in a nutshell. Highly recommended if you are looking for a no fuss simple device.

Features

• Excellent Value
• Dimensions: 76mm x W: 20mm x L:40.5mm
• Lightweight but solid build
• 2600mAh battery
• Offers sub ohm vaping and mouth to lung
• Self adjusting device for the above (no messing around with wattage/power settings)
• Excellent flavour
• UK Company with industry leading customer service

7. Apollo Ohm Go (Best Kit or both MTL and DTL vaping)

The Apollo Ohm Go kit looks the business. Luckily it’s not a case of ‘all fur coat and no knickers’.

The Ohm Go kit provides two vaping experiences in one. Mouth to lung (MTL) with the supplied 1.0 ohm coil, this is a similar experience that you would get smoking a cigarette. Restricted Direct to lung (DTL) with the supplied 0.5Ohm coil, this will give you that sub ohm vaping experience you may have heard so much about. Albeit a toned down version.

Both coils offer superb flavour and plenty of vapour.

Before you think that it sounds difficult to operate, think again. The Ohm Go is a ‘self adjusting’ vape pen.

By self adjusting we mean you don’t have to fiddle with any wattage settings, the device detects the coil and changes the wattage automatically giving you the optimum vape every time. The only thing it doesn’t do is vape itself.

The tank is top-fill making it easy to fill when you are on the move. All you need with this kit is to add e liquid and your good to go.

If you hadn’t guessed yet. We really like this vape pen kit.

Features

• Build quality and design are top notch
• 1900mAh battery
• Offers sub ohm vaping and mouth to lung
• Self adjusting device for the above (no messing around with wattage/power settings)
• Top fill
• Excellent flavour and cloud production

The below are also highly recommended. If you feel you need a few more options keep on reading.

8. Elf Bar 600 V2 (Best Disposable Vape)

Personally I’m not a big fan of disposables but as a quick fix when you have no other choice they can be a good option. They can also be good if you are just looking to try some of their flavours for the first time.

One of the better options available is the Elf Bar 600 V2 disposable vape.

The flavours are good and with over 20 on offer they cover pretty much all the tastes. The nic strength is set at 20mg with the use of nic salts so should also satisfy the craving as well.

Features

• Disposable
• Upto 600 puffs
• Very Good flavours
• Multi pack offers

9. Jacvapour Series S-17 Starter Kit (Good VApe Pen Option For New Vapers)

The Jacvapour Series S-17 Kit is the new kid on the block from UK brand jacvapour and by far their best yet in it’s category.

The Series S-17 kit has been built for simplicity.

Yet is still offers vapers both mouth to lung and direct lung inhale options. The beauty of this device is that you do not have to mess around with any wattage controls which can be confusing to new vapers.

Simply fill your tank. Place it on the battery and vape. The battery will adjust the power output automatically depending on the coil used.

The 900 mAh battery offers a decent amount of vape time and the coils, excellent flavour.

A superb starter kit for those new to vaping and priced very competitively.

Features

• ‘Plug and play’ easy to use. No confusing choices to make
• Excellent build quality and design
• 900 mAh Battery
• Excellent Price
• 10ml E Liquid Included in kit
• 2 X Coils included that offer mouth to lung and direct to lung vape options

10. Innokin Sceptre (Best Pod System)

Pretty much everything Innokin produce nowadays delivers. The latest is the Innokin Sceptre pod system.

A beautiful looking device that allows for both MTL and DTL vaping, you can fill the pods with your own e-liquid and the coils can also be swapped out once spent.

Both battery and coil life are excellent with the Sceptre and it even offers an auto draw function for the lazy vapers out there who don’t want to be messing around pressing buttons

Features

• Sleek design and excellent build quality
• Great battery and coil life
• Simple to use

Innokin have been in the vaping world since way back. So it’s safe to say they are at trusted brand that are here to stay.

One of their latest releases, the Coolfire Z50 vape mod, is a tiny little vape that packs plenty of power (50W). Not only will this device keep the more advanced vapers happy but also future proof new vapers looking for a step up or starter mod.

This mod will fit easily in the pocket and looks great with the Zlide tank (included in the kit) attached. The 2100 mAh battery will give you plenty of vape time as well.

This vape pen kit from Innokin is one of the newest e cigs to hit the market and quite possibly their best to date.

The Endura T18 II is a great starting point for first time vapers and those making the step up from mini e cigs or for current vapers looking for a back up. Very simple to use, just fill your tank, screw it to the battery and you are ready to go.

You can also choose between three different power settings to make your vape cooler or warmer, tailoring the vape to fit your needs.

The battery is 1300 mah which – when paired with the included 1.5ohm coil – should see most vapers through the majority of the day. The T18II tank also offers great flavour and good vapour production to get the most out of your favourite e-liquid.

Other Recommended Cig-A-Likes

Vapour2/V2 Cigs

Another cig-a-like kit that I first came across many years ago, V2 Cigs have built upon their popularity by producing a solid range of e cigarettes for all levels of users.

The particular starter kit we recommend here is the perfect starting point for new vapers looking for a smaller e cig. V2 have plenty of flavor options with their pre-filled cartomizers but also offer bottled e-liquid and refillable cartomizers allowing you to use any e-juice you choose.

There are a number of Vapour2/V2 starter kits from those with one battery to the Ultimate kits that covers everything you would need and more. One thing we would recommend is to go for a kit with at least 2 batteries, very important.

• One of the best cig-a-like kits available
• ‘Plug & Play’ easy for new vapers
• Quality product from a trusted, worldwide brand
• Wide range of flavours to choose from
• Kits to suit most budgets
• 10% off all Vapour2/V2 vape gear with coupon below.

Other Recommended Pod Mod Vapes

Pod mods took the vaping world by storm in 2018 and have reached fever pitch going into 2020. For good reason as well. They are one of the simplest, mess free devices available.

There are various styles of pod mod systems. The pen style is arguably the most popular but there has been an increase in these pod style vapes. You will also see that some offer refillable tanks while some just offer pre-filled cartridges, when you are done you simply swap them out.

It really couldn’t get any easier. If you are a new vaper looking for the simplicity of a cig-a-like then this could be for you.

Other Recommended Vape Mods

We have seen a huge influx of these types of devices released to market with great fanfare.

The hype is justified though, some of these vape mods are fantastic. They are however a little more advanced and require more of a learning curve, they aren’t necessarily for everyone. Having said that, they are very easy to use.

For the latest, check out our recommended Vape Mod Starter Kits here.

So there we have it, these are our recommendations for the best e cig kits on the market in 2022 for new vapers.

What E Cig Should I Buy?

The first thing that needs to be decided if you are new to vaping:

• What size e cigarette do you want?
• What e cig size is best for your needs? ie: Are you a heavy smoker? If so a kit with a larger battery may be needed) Do you want portability? Do you want a discreet vape?
• Are you a mouth to lung or Direct to Lung (Sub Ohm) vaper? – Important to know this before deciding anything. In short most new vapers making the switch from smoking will be mouth to lung (MTL) vapers as this is how the majority smoke a cigarette.

The Four Main E Cig Product Categories:

Mini e cigarettes: (Also referred to as a ‘cig-a-like’)

These can range in sizes but are the smallest and most familiar (to smokes) e cigarettes available. Some are the same size as a cigarette and certain e cig brands have a variety of sizes, the bigger ones having a larger battery capacity.

All tend to have the appearance of a cigarette. These can be good e cigs for beginners to help the transition to e cigarettes. They offer a mouth to lung vaping experience, similar to the way most smoker. There are downsides to them however.

Pod Mods

The latest craze in the e cig category and one that has been picking up steam since 2018/2019.

These are designed to take the mess out of vaping and provide a plug and play experience.

Take a look at our full ‘Best Pod Mod Vape‘ post for an in depth look at our top choices.

Vape Pens / Stick Style E Cigs

These are of course bigger but provide longer battery life. Great for new vapers or the next step for those currently using cig-a-likes.

Most offer a mouth to lung (MTL) vape but there are increasing number of sub ohm (Direct to Lung) kits coming to market should you wish to experiment.

Take a look at our ‘Best Vape Pens‘ list for a more in depth look at this category.

Box | Vape Mods

These would generally be used as a step up from vape pens but we have seen such an increase in popularity for these that many new vapers are opting to go for these from the outset.

There is a slight learning curve but they are super simple to use, if you are willing to take 10 minutes to learn then they are a superb choice.

The majority of these kits are best used with sub ohm tank (Direct to Lung) but Mouth to Lung (MTL) tanks can also be used, there are also benefits to using the latter.

Check out our ‘Best Vape Mods‘ list for more choices.

Pros and Cons of Mini E Cigs (Cig-A-Likes)

These are usually the first port of call for a high percentage of smokers making the switch to electronic cigarettes.

I will try and keep it simple by listing the positives / negatives that comes with this type of e cigarette.

Pros

• ‘Plug and play’ option
• Makes the transition to e cigarettes more familiar due to their small appearance.
• Highly portable and discreet enough to carry around and use when out and about.
• Good for a no nonsense ‘charge and vape’ first e cig experience.
• The lightest e cig option. (Although don’t expect them to be the same weight as a cigarette!)
• Good entry point into the world of e cigarettes.

Cons

• The smaller the batteries the less charge they carry = Less vaping time and frequent charging.
• Limited battery life will mean (at a minimum) 2 batteries are recommended to be carried around at all times.
• Heavy smokers will get very annoyed with battery life and want to throw their mini e cig out of the window. To get around this a kit with at least 2+ spare batteries is recommended or a portable charging case.
• Limited opportunity to customize
• The quality of mini e cigs can vary widely, choose carefully, cheapest isn’t always the best.

As a former smoker (15 Marlboro Lights a day) I personally found mini e cigs a great starting point when first starting out. I was drawn to the cig-a-likes for the very reason that they were small and looked like a cigarette and for me at the time this was a very important feature.

It has to be said there wasn’t the choice back in 2010 that we have today, however.

Even to this day I don’t want to take a huge e cigarette out with me when I go to a bar or restaurant. I will take a small vape pen or a pod system if real stealth vaping is required! Both will be mouth to lung vapes as they produce less clouds/vapour.

Here at Ecigclick we have tried and tested over 50 different mini e cigarette brands to date with only a few being worth spending any money on. The two cig-a-like kits recommended above are, for us, the best available.

Pros and Cons of Vape Pens / Stick Style E Cigarettes

This type of vape kit is again used as an entry point to vaping for many smokers, mainly those that are not too concerned with buying an e cigarette that looks like a cigarette.

These type of e cigs are about the size of a cigar or a marker pen, depending on the type you go for. The smaller the device the smaller the battery capacity.

They are also ‘the next step’ for a number of vapers that may find they need an e cig with a longer battery life (as opposed to a cig-a-like) and more options to tailor their e cig experience more to their personal vaping needs and preference.

There are again many different options here from your basic e cig which consists of a battery and a tank to devices that allow you to change either the wattage/voltage to customize the way you vape.

Sub ohm vape pens are also now proving popular but not necessarily the best place to begin your vaping journey.

Pros

• Improved battery life when compared with cig-a-likes, allowing for more uninterrupted vaping. The larger the ‘mAh‘ rating the longer the battery life.
• Fill with own e-liquid which can be more cost effective in the long run.
• Very often more than one coil type will be available. This basically means you can try a couple of different vaping styles.
• Coils are replaceable in the tanks. Again, cost effective.

Cons

• May be too big for some users, especially those that don’t want to draw attention.
• Quality can vary. Be sure only to buy reputable brands from reputable companies. Be wary of cheap e cigs and vape pens from market stalls.

Pros and Cons of Vape Mods | Box Mods

There are different features such as variable wattage, temperature control or indeed both in the same device.

Most are also good devices for new vapers that may want to experiment with sub ohm vaping further down the line as they can accommodate both mouth to lung and sub ohm tanks.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though!

There are two main types of box mod you will come across:

• Mods with integrated battery – When the battery eventually fails the whole mod needs to be replaced
• Mods with replaceable batteries – No need to replace the whole mod when the battery performance deteriorates, just swap out the batteries. Does require battery knowledge and additional purchase of external charger.

I personally use both and have had a mod with integrated battery last over well over one year. For a £30/£40 device that’s pretty good going.

If going for a mod with replaceable batteries it’s important to learn about battery safety, how to carry spare batteries and charge them safely.

All the box mods I recommend below are regulated, in other words they feature micro computers to control settings as entered by the user. Please stay away from mech mods (unregulated) if you do not not what you are doing.

Pros

• Battery life can be considerably longer depending on the setup allowing for long periods of vaping without requiring a charge. Perfect for heavy vapers or those that use their device out and about away from a charge point.
• Many have variable wattage settings that allow you to control the power output which in turn helps tailor settings for optimal user experience. Ie: More / less vapor – Warmer / cooler vape.
• Batteries can be removed and replaced (in some) rather than having to replace the whole device.
• Certain devices can provide the power for those wanting to get into sub ohm vaping further down the line.
• Can be used with Mouth to Lung (MTL) vape tanks – Battery life will be even better with these types of tanks due to the low power they require to work.

Cons

• It is necessary to know the capabilities of these devices before buying. They aren’t for everyone.
• Learning curve – Some vapers just want a simple / straightforward device.

Of course we can only advise what the best e cig is based on what we have used but we are reviewing new e cigarettes, vape pens and vape mods all the time and will of course update this page as we go where necessary.

1. SMOKO Vape Starter Kit (Editors Choice – Best For Beginners)

The Smoko Vape starter kit is undoubtedly the easiest vape for new vapers to get to grips with. Why is that? Well this device comes with pre-filled cartridges. So no messing about choosing and filling with e-liquid, no mess.

We weren’t actually expecting much from this kit when it came in for review with it appearing, on the surface, to be too basic. How wrong were we!

The build quality is excellent throughout, the battery life very good but what impressed us the most was the cartridge flavours. The tobacco/cigar and menthol flavours on offer do a superb job at replicating the real thing and the fruit flavours have been nailed. There is also no huge cloud production for those that don’t want to fog out a room.

Even the biggest smoking technophobe could have this working out of the box, crikey, you don’t even need to press a button to vape as it’s draw activated! Plus, with these flavours there is a high chance the SMOKO vape pen will keep you off the cigs.

As our reviewer said “One of the best starter kits I’ve reviewed…absolutely PERFECT for those smokers looking to quit.” Believe me when I say he’s pretty hard to please! If you are looking for a simple to use device with pre-filled cartridges/tanks at an excellent price then this is the one we recommend.

Features

• Super simple to use – The perfect kit for a ‘pick up and play’ vape
• Pre-filled cartridges = No mess
• Superb flavours
• Cheap!
• Draw activated – No buttons to press

2. ePuffer Titan X (Best Quality)

The ePuffer Titan X is for vapers that want a device that is built to last. The stainless steel construction gives it an expensive feel without feeling too heavy.

Like many devices the Titan X offers both Mouth to Lung (MTL) and Direct to Lung (DTL) coils. Where this devices excels though is with it’s mouth to lung coil. The flavour is superb and the throat hit and draw it provides replicates a cigarette well.

The battery life is very good with the internal 1500mAh capacity and when it comes to filling it couldn’t be easier with it’s top fill system. Easy to refill on the go..

One of the best quality kits on the list and one to keep in mind.

Features

• Very good battery life – 1500 mAh Battery
• Easy top fill tank
• 2 X Coil heads included – 0.4ohm and 1.0Ohm
• Superb build quality
• Excellent kit for new vapers.

3. Vaporesso Sky Solo Plus (Best Vape Pen for Clouds)

Vape pens aren’t just for the mouth to lung vapers out there. The Vaporesso Sky Solo Plus offers a sub ohm vape pen specifically for the direct to lung vaping crowd. It’s a good one as well!

It defintetly does a good job of kicking out some decent clouds but that’s not the only thing it does well. The GT Mesh coils do a very good job at delivering on flavour too.

The Sky Solo Plus is an ‘all in one’ style of device. So rather than having a separate tank that screws off and houses the coil, you simply screw the coil into the top of the battery and the glass tank section is then fitted over the top.

The tank is a top fill so all good there and the battery offers a huge 3000mAh capacity. It’s needed though as this can output upto 90W.

One to add to your list if you like a bit of cloud with your vape pen!

Features

• Very good flavour
• 3000mAh batery
• Big clouds
• Includes 2 Mesh coils
• All in one style device

4. Jacvapour Series S-17 (Best For Both MTL & DTL Vaping)

The Jacvapour Series S vape pen is high up there in our favourite list at ecigclick.

It manages to keep a compact form while still offering plenty of battery life with it’s 900mAh battery.

The Series S17 is a plug and play type device. No variable wattage setting to be getting your knickers in a twist with. The battery recognises different resistances from your coil and sets the best output wattage accordingly.

The kit comes complete with a tank that offers very good flavour. All you need to do is add e juice. With the two coil options it also offers a vaping style to fit mouth to lung and restricted direct to lung vapers.

Tip: We would recommend buying a second battery with the kit to act as a backup and use in rotation so you are never ‘vape-less’ due to charging or the battery running out suddenly.

Features

• 1 x 900 mah battery
• 1 X tank
• 2 x Atomizer Coils (Mouth-To-Lung and Sub Ohm coil)
• 1 X USB Charger
• Great for all levels of vaper and very easy to use

5. Innokin Endura T18II (Best Selling Vape Pen)

The Endura range of e cigs has been one of the most popular for new users for the last couple of years. In this time we’ve seen a few upgrades with the latest being the Endura T18II.

Innokin have done a great job with the T18II making it not only one of the best performers but also one of the easiest e cigarettes for new vapers to pick up and use. The kit comes complete with two 1.5Ohm coils and also features vape while charging technology and a top filling tank.

The 1500mAh battery offers a good amount of vaping time and comes with three heat settings and airflow control further allowing you to tweak the vape to fit you.

This really is an e cigarette that just needs e-liquid to use right out of the box.

It’s also a great looking bit of kit available in a number of colours!

Features

• 1 X 1500 mAh battery
• 1 X Top Fill Endura T18II tank
• 2 X 1.5 ohm Coil Heads
• 3 X power output settings
• USB Charger
• Good choice for new vapers or a good choice for current vapers making a step up to a longer lasting vape.

6. V2 Vsavi Pro Series 3

Last but by no means last on our best e cigarette list is the V2 Pros Series 3 kit from V2 Cigs.

Anther slim profile device that is lightweight and easy to carry out and about. Filling and swapping the cartridge out is simpler as well with its magnetic connection.

The V2 kits also incorporate magnetic cables for charging making the kit super easy to set up and use for new vapers.

Features

• Magnetic connections – No screwing/unscrewing tanks
• Advanced technologies used within this device
• 3 Different coil resistances available to suit different PG/VG e-liquid ratios
• One of the easiest vape pens to use for new vapers

7. XEO Void (Best For MTL Vaping)

If you are looking for something that little bit different in terms of aesthetics then the XEO Void kit could be the one.

A very well built device, designed in Germany, that offers both mouth to lung and direct to lung vaping although this really excels in the MTL vape department.

This is more of an All In One (AIO) vape pen. By this we mean there is no separate tank as you will see with other vape kits. The tank section is actually built into the top of the e cig.

Don’t worry if that sounds confusing! This kit is new vaper friendly. Simply pop your coil in, fill with juice and vape.

No matter which resistance coil you use the battery will automatically detect and adjust accordingly, the only thing you have to worry about is what flavour e-juice you are going to pick!

Features

• Good price point
• Excellent quality
• Everything you need to get started
• Very good 1500 mAh battery
• Caters to both Mouth to Lung (MTL) and Direct to Lung (DTL) vapers
• Easy to use

8. Apollo OHM Go Starter Kit (Reviewers Favourite)

As stick pens go, the Apollo Ohm Go starter kit is one of the most popular for new vapers. The kit combines ease of use and performance to make it a perfect for first time vapers. Not to mention it looks fantastic too!

The OHM Go vape gives you a 1900 mAh battery and a tank that is supplied with 0.5Ohm and 1.0Ohm coils.

If you are new to vaping the two supplied coils allow you to experience both sub ohm vaping (direct to lung) and mouth to lung vaping. The latter of which is similar to how most smoke a cigarette.

It’s super easy to use. There are no fiddly settings to use, the battery recognises the coil resistance and automatically changes the power output for the optimum vape. The tank is top fill cutting down on any mess made.

This is pretty much a plug and play device. Just add e liquid.

One thing to keep in mind is that with the mouth to lung (MTL) coil it may be a little looser than you may be used to from smoking a cigarette. We would however recommend this for those that would like the option to vape 2 ways.

Features

• Perfect beginner vape pen kit
• No confusing controls
• 1900 mAh battery that offers extended vaping time between charges
• 1 X Apollo Portal Refill Tank (Top Fill)
• 2 X Coils (Mouth to lung and sub ohm supplied)
• USB & Wall charger included

9. Aspire Tigon (Best Aspire Vape Pen)

The Aspire Tigon kit offers a great starting point for vapers that like a mouth to lung vape but also like the idea of trying direct to lung vaping.

It’s a high quality piece of kit, both the battery and the mod are finished beautifully.

Depending on where you are buying the Tigon kit the battery will either be 2600mAh (standard edition) or 1800mAh (TPD edition).

The kit also comes with a 1.2Ohm MTL coil and 0.4Ohm direct to lung coil.

But.. The stand out for this kit is how it vapes. It delivers great flavour in both vape styles.

Features

• 2600mAh Battery / 1800mAh (TPD)
• 2 X coils included
• Both MTL and DTL vape styles catered for.
• Excellent build quality
• Great option for all levels of vaper

10. Innokin Jem Pen (Best Value)

The Jem Pen is one of the newer kits on the list as well as being one of the cheapest. Don’t worry though, this is still a top quality device.

When it comes to delivering a perfect vape for those coming over from cigarettes then this is up there with the best. That’s not to say it’s only for new vapers. If you vape Mouth to Lung (MTL) then this is a quality option, whether it be a backup or main device.

What surprised us most about this kit though is the flavour that it pumps out. Excellent.

It’s a very slim lined vape as well making it highly portable and easy to slip into a shirt or jean pocket.

Did we mention that the coils last an age and this has top fill making it super easy to use?

Features

• Good battery life
• Great for vapers making the switch – Vapes like a cigarette
• Slimline
• Great value
• Very good flavour
• New and current MTL vapers alike will get on well with this vape kit.

What Is A Vape Pen?

There are a number of names for these devices, from vape pens, vaporizer pens, e pens or even an e cig vape pen.. Now they are all the same thing apart from a vaporizer pen is commonly used to describe a device that can be used with dry herb or wax. If you are looking for this type of device then the V2 Series Pro above can be used to vape that type of stuff.

The image below shows the basic components of a vape pen.
E cig vape pens are basically made up of two main parts – the battery and the tank or clearomizer. They get their name as the first vape pens were of similar size to a fountain pen.

They can be refilled with any e-liquid you choose opening up a world of fantastic e-juice flavours! Although there are a handful of disposable tanks on the market that are paired with a battery. If you choose one of these you replace the whole tank rather than just the coil that sits in the tank.

All the vape pens above are available in the UK meaning they are TPD compatible.

You may have also seen cig-a-like e cigarettes that, as the name suggest, look more like cigarettes. Many smokers opt for these as their first vaping device as they provide a familiar form.

While cig-a-likes can indeed be a good springboard into vaping they can lack the battery power and flavour choice of vaping pens and this plays a big part in your success rates of staying off the fags.

What are the Different Kind of Vape Pens?

Vape Pens For E-Liquid

These vape pens are what we are focusing on with our ‘best of’ list. These can be filled with standard vape juice and nicotine salts.

Vape Pens for CBD Vape Oil

CBD (Cannabidiol) is very popular and luckily you can use standard vape pens to vape CBD. You will need to check the PG/VG ratio of the CBD e-liquid as you would with standard vape juice to choose the right device. You can see our best cbd vape oil here.

Vaporizers Pens for Dry Herb

These work in a different way to standard vape pens. Vaporizers feature an oven/heating chamber that you pack your dry herb or tobacco into. This oven then takes a few minutes to heat the dry herb ready to vape.

3 in 1 Vape Pens

This is where things get interesting for vapers looking to vape dry herb, wax/oil and e-liquid. Of course, not all at the same time.

3 in 1 vaporizers, such as the V2 Pro Series 3 listed above, are available with different tank/chambers that can be used with different material.

How Does a Vape Pen Work?

This is a very basic explanation but it’s quite simple.

The battery provides electric current to the coil in the atomizer (tank). There is cotton wrapped around the coil that will be saturated in e-liquid. The coil heats up and then vapourizes the e-liquid that is soaked into the cotton. This results in the vapour that you inhale. I said it was simple right?

How Do I Use a Vape Pen?

Vape pens come in various shapes and sizes but all tend to work in a similar way. You have two main parts – a battery and a vape tank. The battery is the main body of the device that you hold. The tank includes a coil that, depending on what stick pen you choose, will be:

• Replaceable coil – (when flavour drops simply replace the coil head)
• Disposable tank – (Whole tank is replaced when coil dies)

When you take your vape out of the box for the first time we recommended you get acquainted with your tank before filling with vape juice. So, take it off the battery and disassemble and reassemble a few times. By doing this you will be in a better position when the time comes to replace the coil after use.

OK.. So you know your tank and how it all fits together, excellent. Now we move onto filling and vaping.

This is a general ‘how to’ and will work for most vape sticks.

1. First, read the instructions included with your kit
2. Charge your battery using the supplied cable
3. If a coil is already installed you can move straight to the next step. If not insert the coil according to specific instructions for your tank.
4. Fill the tank – This may be top fill or bottom fill. Again, follow the instructions to see what type of fill method your tank has
5. Once filled, allw tank to stand for 10 minutes. This allows the liquid to soak into the cotton in the coils. If you do not follow this step you run the risk of burning the cotton which means you will need to replace the coil!
6. If you have a push button vape pen ensure battery is turned on (Usually 5 quick clicks of the fire button)
7. Press the button down and inhale
8. You are vaping

How to Choose the Right Vape Pen For You?

There are a few thing to look out for when choosing a vape pen. Do you want a small, lightweight device that will slip into a shirt pocket with ease? Do you want something that feels solid and built to last? Do you want the longest battery life possible? Do you want to vape mouth to lung (like smoking a cigarette) or sub ohm vape (direct to lung)? All of these questions need to be taken into account.

We have all options above. All of them have the vaping industry standard safety features built in.

Sub Ohm Vapes for Direct to Lung (DTL) Vaping

These are higher powered vape pens that are for those that prefer a bigger, warmer clouds and fuller flavour. The big difference between these and your standard vape pen is that they are vaped direct to lung (DTL) style. They have wide mouthpieces/drip tips that allow a huge amount of vapour to be drawn. They should be used with a minimum e-liquid ratio of 70VG. The downside is that they use a lot more e-liquid due to the higher wattage used.

If you are a beginner or looking for a first vape device then these aren’t always recommended. After smoking this can be a very odd way of getting your nicotine hit as the vapour is drawn directly into your lungs rather than into the mouth first, like you would smoke a cigarette.

The Freemax Twister above is a a great example of a superb sub ohm vape pen.

Vapes for Mouth to Lung (MTL) Vaping

These are generally smaller in size than the sub ohm vape pens above. They don’t require as much power as the coils are smaller in both size and resistance (Ohms). These are perfect starting points for new vapers making the switch from cigarettes as they are closer to the style of smoking.

For a lightweight, slim device the Innokin Jem Pen is a great choice. For an all rounder that offers great flavour and excellent build quality then the Apollo Ohm Go is recommended. If you are looking for something that is pure quality in terms of build then the ePuffer Titan is the one for us.

Automatic Vape Pen or Button Press?

When we say automatic we are talking about vaping without pressing any buttons. With an automatic firing vape you simply inhale and the device activates.

With a button operation vape you need to first press the fire button and then inhale. There are benefits to both, I personally prefer a fire button as it allows me to ‘pre-heat’ the coil for a split second before I vape.

Variable Wattage

There are a number of vape pens on the market that offer variable wattage. This just allows you to control of the wattage you vape at. Maybe you have an fruit e juice that is best a lower wattages and a dessert e juice that shines at higher wattage. With this type of device you can adjust to your preferences.

The Twister by Freemax is one such vaping device.

Conclusion

So there we have it.. Our top picks to help you choose the best vape pens in 2024. You really can’t go too far wrong with the above products, very simple to use and great for beginners and pretty much all experience levels.

1. Innokin Zlide (Editors Choice)

One of the latest mouth to lung vape tanks from this vape giant is the Innokin Zenith 2. A collaboration with two of the best known vape reviewers (Phil Busardo and ‘The Vaping Geek’ aka Dimitris Agrafiotis) this is one of the easiest tanks to get to grips with.

This tank has all the features you would want from the easy top fill to the easy and clean coil swap. This updated Zenith tank also includes 2 new features. Removable glass, for easy cleaning, and an improved airflow control that offers a great MTL (Mouth to Lung) and RDL (Restrictive Direct Lung) vape.

The coils can handle a variety of e-liquid PG/VG ratios and the most important thing, the flavour is very good. While it comes with two coils in the kit there are a number of other coil options you can buy separately so you can be sure to find a vape just right for you.

It also looks great and has superb build quality, something that tends to come as standard with Innokin products.

Features

• 2 Coils included
• Simple top fill and easy swap coils
• Excellent build quality

2. Aspire Nautilus GT Mini (Best For Flavour)

Now we really love the Aspire Nautilus range of vape tanks and the GT Mini is a great addition to the line up. From the design to the performance this ticks all the boxes. It’s a beauty.

Not only does it give you an easy top fill (no poking an e-liquid bottle tip through a tiny hole) it also allows for a change of coils with e-liquid still in the tank.

The 22mm diameter Nautilus GT Mini offers a great mouth to lung vape with the coil options available. On last count there were around 9 compatible coils from the Aspire range so you should have no problem picking up a pack from most stores.

As with most Aspire tanks, flavour is on point as well.

Features

• 2 Coils included (1X 1.6ohm and 1X 0.7Ohm Mesh)
• Huge range of compatible coils
• Great flavour
• Coils can be changed with e-liquid still in tank
• Easy top fill

3. Jacvapour S22 Tank (Best for MTL and DTL Vape Options)

The Jacvapour S22 tank is a new release by the team at JAC Vapour and a very good one at that.

It’s a no nonsense design that is built to last. The S22 has a top fill design that allows you to change your juice easily on the move. Always a good thing.

The tank also allows you to dabble with 2 types of coil. It comes with both a 1.0Ohm coil and 0.5Ohm coil. Of course the latter will need an e cig that can fire sub ohm coils.

In short, the Jacvapour S22 tank is a worthy contender when choosing a mouth to lung e cig tank.

Features

• 2 X Coil heads – 1.0 ohm and 0.5 ohm
• Easy to fill
• Solid, well built tank

4. Innokin Endura T20 (Best Tank For Beginner Vapers)

The Endura Vape pen (T18 and T20) from Innokin has been one of the best kits for new vapers.

Here we have the T20 tank that will of course work on most devices, not just the Endura kit.

Simple to use with good flavour and widely available. Another tank that’s simple to use offering good flavour and a good starting point for new vapers or of course vapers looking to add a MTL tank to their setup.

The only real downside is that it only comes with one coil, however, it is a well priced tank from the outset.

Features

• Comes with 1 X 0.5Ohm tank
• Well built
• Top-fill design
• Good MTL vape performance
• Replacement coils widely available

5. Vandy Vape Berserker V3 MTL RTA (Best Rebuildable MTL Tank)

For vapers out there that like their rebuildable coils or simply fancy trying rebuildables out then the Vandy Vape Berserker V3 is a good place to look.

It’s very easy to build on and the flavour from this single coil setup is very good indeed.

Tanks like this usually don’t hang around and when the stock is gone it’s gone, unfortunately. So get yourself one while you can.

A welcome and much needed addition to the MTL vape tank world.

Features

• Very good flavour
• Superb build quality
• East deck to build on
• True Mouth to Lung draw

6. Aspire Nautilus 2s (Best Selling MTL Vape Tank)

The Aspire Nautilus 2s is the latest in the infamous Nautilus line up of tanks and in one of the best mouth to lung tanks yet.

It is beginner friendly being easy to fill and change coils and the flavour it produces is spot on.

You do get drip tip options in the box so don’t worry ig the mouthpiece in the image looks a little long

Another excellent option from Aspire that should be considered carefully.

Features

• 2 X coil heads included: 1 X 0.8ohm and 1 X 1.4 Ohm Coil head
• Easy top fill design
• Great build quality
• Excellent flavour
• Perfect for beginner vapers

If you would like to see more mouth to lung RBA’s you can check out the following:

• Best MTL RDA
• Best MTL RTA

So there we have it. Our top picks for the best mouth to lung vape tanks and clearomizers. It’s only a small list but with the age of sub ohm vaping upon us many manufacturers seem to have set aside the clearomizer for new vapers to concentrate on sub ohm tanks. Hopefully we will see a change in this trend as these category of product is very important for new vapers.

There are others such as the Kanger Evod tanks and Aspire CE5 clearomizers that can be picked up for cheap prices. The above though listed product will offer more in terms of quality and performance.

If you are a direct lung inhaler then check out our best rated sub ohm tanks. Many are available with coil resistances over 1.0 Ohm so you can have a quality tank without the ‘sub ohm’ element.

Innokin are a brand name that virtually any vaper will recognise, highly regarded for their innovative approach to vaping products. They’ve been around virtually since vaping really took off!

They use their vast industry knowledge and experience to come up with new and innovative kits that appeal to any type of vaper, from the beginner right through to the seasoned enthusiast.

Innokin cleaned up six accolades in the recent Ecigclick awards and have earned great reviews from us recently for products such as the Innokin Z Pod Nano, Zyon and of course the original Innokin Trine.

What Can We Expect From The Innokin Trine SE?

Innokin’s original Trine kit, which released earlier this year, was a smash-hit and was lauded for its sustainable design. Allowing you to remove the battery to dispose of it safely once it had reached the end of its lifespan.

You can then simply replace the battery with a new one, allowing you to continue using your Trine device, making it a sustainable vaping option!

This also gives you the ability to have a fully charged spare battery on hand. So you can simply swap a depleted one for a freshly charged one, which will save you money on buying a second kit to carry around with you!

The Innokin Trine SE makes the Trine even more accessible and easy to use. It does away with the screen and adjustable wattage and the chip auto-selects power output based on the remaining battery life and the resistance of the coil.

An easy to use sliding airflow control allows you to adjust the airflow to cater to your own preferences. Allowing you to close it right down for a tight vape or open it right up for a looser and airier draw.

You don’t have any need to rush out and buy new pods for this Trine version, as it retains compatibility with Innokin’s VCap pods. These come in resistances of 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm. The pods feature a TPD-compliant 2ml capacity and boast leak-proof top filling.

Many thanks to Innokin for sending the Trine SE over for review, let’s dive in and see what it has to offer!

As always, all views are my own. Please note that I am reviewing pre-release versions of the Innokin Trine SE so some features may differ on release…

Design and Build Quality

If you have held or used an Innokin Trine before, then this will feel much the same way. It has the same shape to it near enough and almost identical measurements at 110.93mm x 25.86mm x 15.08mm – less than a millimetre in it between them!

The Innokin Trine SE is a lightweight device to hold in the hand and with its rounded edges it just feels comfortable to use.

Six brand new colour finishes are available to pick from: Ice Blue, Graffiti Pink, Matte Black, Mirror Gold, Matte Green and Mirror Silver.

Innokin sent me four of these and let me tell you that the Ice Blue and Graffiti Pink finishes are pretty spectacular I must say. I have had a few comments from friends of mine on how good they look!

However, I did notice that a small portion of the finish had chipped off of the Ice Blue kit after around a week’s worth of use. But this was after I had dropped it a couple of times and carried it around in my pocket along with all sorts of other junk!

This time around, there’s no screen present on the device like there was with the original Trine, as there’s no adjustable wattage on this device. This is replaced with an LED battery indicator which allows you to check battery life at a glance.

Innokin’s removable battery technology returns for the Trine SE, if you look at the base of the device you’ll actually see the battery enclosure and two tabs either side of it.

Having a removable battery means that the battery can be replaced when the original one is showing signs of wear and tear, such as not holding a charge as well as it used to, and you will be able to purchase replacement Trine batteries rather than having to throw the whole kit away.

You should expect to get around two years’ worth of use before the battery needs to be replaced. The battery is available to purchase on its own.

This means there is less of a waste footprint, and you don’t have to shell out on purchasing a brand new kit. Simply push the two tabs at the bottom and the battery will pop out, and you can slide a brand new one in.

There’s also compatibility with Innokin’s VCap pods, which are also compatible with other Innokin pod systems such as the original Trine and the Endura V. The Innokin VCap pods have a 2ml capacity and are top-filled.

VCap pods connect magnetically to the Trine SE device and are held firmly in place with very little wiggle. They are easy to remove and replace too!

Quick Start

There’s not too much else to it after you have filled up your VCap pod, this device has an auto-draw system and no power button to press so just take a draw on it to get it to fire!

Airflow can be adjusted using the airflow control on the side of the device, allowing you to open up and close down the airflow as you wish.

Innokin are always committed to safety and as such safety protections are built into the Innokin Trine SE. You have no load/high resistance protection, short circuit protection, low battery protection, overheating protection and a 10 second vaping cut-off.

An LED battery indicator allows you to check the battery level at a glance, with green meaning that you have more than 30% battery life remaining, yellow is 10%-30% and red is less than 10%. From experience, you’ll want to get this on charge once it hits red as it will run out of juice pretty quickly at this point!

Charging

Like the original Innokin Trine, the USB-C charging port is located on the side of the device, opposite to the airflow control. However, you do not get a USB-C charging cable included with the kit, so you will need to supply your own. This won’t be an issue with the vast majority of people as USB-C cables are so widely used these days!

You should use a standard output charger and charging cable with the correct charging current and voltage range, with the Innokin Trine this will charge at DC 5.0V/1.0A.

If you have the Trine SE on charge and decide to take a puff on it, charging will pause and resume once you have finished taking a puff on it. Charging time is roughly an hour from flat to full.

Innokin recommend that you should charge the Trine SE as soon as the battery level drops under 10%, and not to keep battery level above 90% for extended periods of time, in order to preserve battery health.

Filling the Pod

Innokin VCap pods feature a leak proof top filling system, and you don’t even need to remove the pod from the device in order to fill it.

To fill one of these, snap off the mouthpiece to reveal the filling port, insert your bottle nozzle into the large filling port and fill the 2ml pod capacity up whilst taking care not to overfill it- otherwise e-liquid will leak out!

If you are filling up a brand new VCap pod for the first time, you should wait five minutes before vaping to allow e-liquid to fully saturate the cotton, which will decrease the chances of nasty burnt hits happening.

How Does The Innokin Trine SE Perform?

Compatible with the VCap series of pods from Innokin, you get a 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm pod included with the kit, and 1.2ohm pods are available to purchase separately. Innokin very kindly sent me over a pack of those so that I could try out all three with the Innokin Trine SE!

I’m quite familiar with the performance of these pods as I still regularly use my Innokin Trine SE, and I used them thoroughly with the Innokin Endura V. These do offer a solid lifespan and you are looking at around a week’s worth of use per pod depending on which e-liquid you use.

It’s great that Innokin don’t release a new line of pods each time they release a new pod system, as this makes it less confusing when trying to navigate which pods to buy, and the VCap pods are some of the best you can find for a pod system.

The built in chip automatically selects the output power based on the resistance of the coil and the remaining battery life and will output up to a maximum of 25W which decreases steadily as you use it. For the device to output 25W, you must be using the 0.6ohm VCap pod.

When using the 0.6ohm VCap pod, I find that it provides quite an intense flavour experience, and a warm vape to boot. This works best with the airflow wide open, closing the airflow down makes it a bit too intense and I don’t think that it is all that compatible with a tight mouth to lung draw. It’s best to get as much airflow as you can to this pod.

I don’t find a lot of difference between the 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm VCap pods, apart from the 0.8ohm pod seems to work equally well with either an airy or a tight draw. The vape is slightly cooler, but it still packs plenty of tasty flavour.

The 1.2ohm version is a mouth to lung pod all the way, it works best with the airflow closed down for a tight mouth to lung vape and it is also no slouch when it comes to flavour. Though it isn’t too well suited for my tastes, being a restricted lung vaper and all!

Airflow can be adjusted to a loose mouth to lung vape/borderline restricted direct lung hit when it is fully open, or you can close it right down for a tight mouth to lung vape if you prefer a draw that is close to what you would get from a cigarette.

This isn’t a device that kicks out huge volumes of vapour though, it’s definitely not designed for that!

Battery life is pretty solid overall, and it will differ depending on which pod that you are using. The 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm pods will see me through a full day before I need to recharge the Innokin Trine SE, but the 1.2ohm pod will see me well into a second day’s use!

Pros

• Beginner friendly and easy to use
• Some stunning finishes on these devices
• Has adjustable airflow
• Can remove and replace the battery when it is at the end of its life, making it sustainable
• Excellent flavour from the pods
• Build quality is pretty robust
• VCap pods can be refilled without having to remove the pod from the device
• Compatible with 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm VCap pods giving you plenty of different vaping options
• No leaks from the pods
• Has a simple battery life indicator

Cons

• Lack of adjustable wattage might be a deal breaker for some- if that is the case it’s worth considering the original Innokin Trine!
• Can get a restricted lung vape, but only just, this kit is really for mouth to lung vapers only
• Finish on the Ice Blue Kit started to chip off after a week’s use
• Can’t see the full e-liquid capacity without having to remove the pod

Final Verdict

Here, Innokin have taken the successful formula they used for the original Trine, given it a fresh look with six new colour finishes and made it even easier to use with the auto-draw only system, making this a really accessible device that can appeal to just about any vaper.

Innokin deserve credit for the replaceable battery system that they introduced on the original Trine, as this makes this pod system an environmentally friendly and sustainable one, as you can simply switch out a battery that is at the end of its lifespan for a brand new one rather than having to buy a whole new kit. Though you should get around two years lifespan from the Trine battery!

The VCap pods that are compatible with the Trine SE are some of my favourite refillable pods, these just perform solidly well and offer good lifespan, making them a wallet friendly option.

Combined with the Trine SE, you’ve got a device here that is easy to use, delivers great flavour and will get you through a whole day’s worth of vaping.

The post Innokin Trine SE Review – Superb Beginner Device! appeared first on Ecigclick.

I am a huge OXVA Xlim fan girl – I have every model made and use the Xlim Pro and Xlim SQ Pro devices daily. Prior to that it was the Xlim SE and Xlim V2!

Below is some of my Xlim collection showing all models since release.

Thank you to OXVA for sending this over for review. My opinions are based on the device in my possession. My experience may differ from yours as sometimes we get “Sample” devices compared to full retail versions.

What Does The OXVA Xlim Go Promise?

This is very much the update to the Xlim SE – the simplest kit in the range. The Xlim SE 2 was a bit more complicated, whereas the Xlim Go provides an easy introduction to the range.

It even has the “X” shaped LED indicator we found on the SE.

This time the exterior has had a bit of a makeover with an Artificial Leather finish which looks great on the marketing images.

You still get the excellent side adjustable airflow which is very effective in previous models.

Again with simplicity in mind, this has no buttons or adjustments. Simply inhale on the mouthpiece to trigger the auto draw activation. The output will be automatically adjusted between 5-30W to suit the pod installed!

Inside the device is a 1000mAh battery which is charged via the USB Type C port at 1A. To keep the cost low there is no USB cable included in the kit. But I am sure the majority of us have one knocking about from other vapes or phones.

Another update from the SE model is the fact this comes with the new Top Fill pods. These pods are also found on the Xlim Pro, Xlim SQ Pro and Xlim SE 2. Instead of having to remove the pod for filling, there is a side (or top) fill port.

There are 4 resistance options of the pods – 0.4ohm, 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm (included in kit) and 1.2ohm.

You can also use the original bottom fill Xlim pods in here (apart from the removable coil Xlim C).

On top of that if you want ultra simplicity – you can use the pre-filled Xlim pods. Make life as easy as using a disposable vape but in a more environmentally and wallet friendly way!

Here is an introduction video from the OXVA Official YouTube channel.

You can choose from 8 colours: Black, Dark Grey, Red, Dark Brown, Light Brown, Pink, Light Green and White.

OXVA Xlim Go Design and Build Quality

I received the Light Brown version. However I also bought myself the Pink version!

The packaging is extremely compact – which is not a surprise as you only get the device, 1 pod and instructions. There is no charging cable, spare pod or lanyard. Obviously this keeps the price low.

Thankfully this is a simple to use kit as the instructions are just about OK! Yes there are multiple pages – but only 1 page per language!

If you find the included instructions a bit small to read you can download a digital copy here.

OXVA Xlim Go Mod

Firstly I tend to compare this with the Xlim Pro as I am so used to using it.

Size wise they are pretty much the same, but the main difference is the weight!

On the OXVA website the Xlim Pro is listed as being 66g whereas the Xlim Go is only 41g. This weight difference is very noticeable in the hand! You would think the Xlim Go has a smaller battery – but it doesn’t – it is still 1000mAh same as the Pro!

The Xlim Go has more of a “Plastic” quality with the Faux Leather exterior which surrounds a Black Plastic (I think?) frame (Silver frame on the Pink version). Compared to the all metal construction of the Xlim Pro.

Being a vegetarian I really applaud the use of faux Leather! Years ago it was deemed the cheapo version of the real thing, but now I prefer it!

Obviously there is no screen on this version so this might decrease the weight too.

The device has a kind of quilted texture which looks beautiful but is not as soft and padded as I was expecting.

On the front is the “X” logo which is the bright LED indicator.

Each side has the Black frame (Brushed Silver on the Pink version), with one side being the USB port and the other the smooth airflow adjustment slider.

The knob of the slider barely protrudes outside of the footprint of the mod so is unlikely to get caught on bags or pockets. The slider has a fair resistance and I believe it won’t move by itself.

As for branding – on the front the “OXVA” logo is etched into the quilted finish and on the rear you will find the “Xlim Go” logo.

On the base is a rubber type pad which should protect the device and any surface it is sitting on from scratches. It does stand up but doesn’t need much persuasion to topple over as it is not very stable.

Legal logos and battery capacity are etched into the device base.

Inside the pod compartment you will see 2 spring loaded electrical contacts and 2 magnets. There is a slight wobble to the pod if you manually move it but it doesn’t rattle.

I am always dropping my kits and with the Xlim’s you can often find the pod in a different place to the device!

OXVA Xlim Top Fill Pod

Apart from the fill port location the pod is exactly the same as the V2 pod used on the early Xlim kits.

The base is exactly the same with 2 magnets and 2 contact areas. There are also 2 airflow holes which means the pod can be installed either way around. The pod resistance and recommended power levels are printed on the base too but in this case are very hard to see.

Although darkly tinted, the e-liquid level is always visible, in fact even when installed in the mod as the coil base sits level with the top of the mod.

You get the same comfortable “Duck Bill” style mouthpiece which is always a pleasure to use.

The fill port cover is located on the side of the pod and when you do your first fill it can be a bit of a puzzle as to how to access the port.

Simply lift up the bottom edge of the port cover and it will lift up to reveal the port. You can also swing the cover out of the way too.

It might be a bit fiddly to open if you have short fingernails as it is one you will need to prise up. But it is far easier to close than the V2 pods which I found sometimes leaked if you couldn’t push the cover fully in.

The fill port size is generous at 5mmx3mm and I had no issues with small bottle nozzles when filling.

OXVA Xlim Go Quick Start Guide

The kit comes with the 0.8ohm pod installed. Make sure to fill this before removing the isolator sticker at the base of the pod. If you vape before filling this will burn out the coil and the pod will need to be binned.

You will need to fill, charge and set up the device to get going – I will guide you through the steps below!

OXVA Xlim Go Basic Operation

• Power On/Off = There is no function to switch this on or off.
• Vaping = Simply inhale on the mouthpiece to vape.
• Battery indicator = The “X” logo will light up when vaping and the colour displays the battery charge remaining: Green = 60-100%, Blue = 20-60% and Red = below 20%.
• Battery indicator when charging = The indicator will light up in the colours mentioned above and then the light will turn off when fully charged.
• Adjust airflow = move the slide switch on the side of the mod to increase / decrease the incoming airflow to your preference.

  

OXVA Xlim Go Protections

• Low battery – The Red light will flash 10 times and the device will cut out until recharged.
• Short circuit / too low resistance – The Red light will flash 3 times. Clean pod and device connectors, or replace pod. If fault persists there may be an issue with the device itself.
• High temperature – The Red light will flash 5 times and the device will stop working until it has cooled down.
• Over time – if you vape for longer than 8 seconds the Blue light will flash 3 times and the fire will cut out. You can continue vaping by inhaling or pressing the fire button again.

How To Charge The Battery

The charging rate is specified as 1A.

• Using the a USB type C cable, connect the small end into the USB port on the mod.
• Connect the large end of the cable into a suitable USB outlet.
• The LED will cycle through the battery capacity colours and go out when fully charged.

The charging time for me using a mains plug was around 1 hour.

How To Fill the OXVA Xlim Top Fill Pod

• You don’t need to remove the pod to refill. I removed it to make it easier to take a photo!
• Lift up the cover of the fill port and add e-liquid through the port.
• Watch the e-liquid level through the clear side of the pod.
• Replace the fill port cover firmly.
• If this is the first fill allow the pod to stand for 10-15 mins to allow the e-liquid to soak into the coil. This is called Priming and is a very important step. If not fully primed you could burn the coil out and your throat lining in the process!

How Does the OXVA Xlim Go Perform?

I used my own e-liquid mix which is 50/50 PG/VG made from IVG Bubblegum Concentrate at 20% ratio. This is quite high a flavour ratio as I prefer plenty of flavour, but sadly this means it can be a coil killer sometimes. But the OXVA Xlim pods usually have no issues at all with it.

I add nic salt to approx 6mg strength.

OXVA Xlim Pro 0.8ohm Pod

I am extremely familiar with this pod as I use it daily on my Xlim Pro and SQ Pro kits!

I love it!

However for the first 2ml don’t be quick to judge! The first fill doesn’t showcase the excellent flavour this pod is capable of.

After the first fill or two the flavour shines! I get my lovely sweet syrupy Bubblegum flavour and a good warmth from the vape.

Even though it is only a 0.8ohm coil at a low output, the flavour and vapour are just perfect!

I quote from the Xlim Pro review below…

“So I have finally given up with the first 0.8ohm pod and I can happily report I got to 5860 puffs (109 refills). That is some epic coil life!”

Airflow

I use a rating system for airflow – 0= fully closed and 10= like breathing unrestricted fresh air!

On fully closed this is about a 1 – not fully shut off as you are still able to vape, but it gets hot and not much flavour.

Whereas fully open is still great for MTL vapers (it is the setting I preferred) and you could also manage a decent RDL vape too. I would say this rates around 4.5.

Usually on MTL devices I have the airflow in the mid position, but I find the Xlim range have quite a tight airflow and I end up opening it fully.

Leaks?

Not a drop or a dribble at all from either pod! The top fill V3 port design eliminates the leak from the fill port you sometimes get on the V2 pods.

However on previous kits with the same pod I have had a bit of an issue with leaking.

With the pods included in these kits I had no leaks at all so hopefully there has been an upgrade. But I buy replacement pods a lot and some of those still have this problem.

I think this issue is caused when filling. If you push the nozzle into the fill port and aim the e-liquid at the coil I am sure it forces e-liquid back through the coil to cause the leak.

So my advice is to angle the nozzle away from the coil and make sure there is a gap in the fill port for any air to escape. Also add e-liquid slowly to avoid a jet of liquid pushing through the coil.

If you get a “gurgle” after filling, remove the pod, wrap in a tissue and blow through it to clear any sign of leaks.

If you have had a leak also put some tissue in the pod compartment of the mod and blow through the airflow inlet to clear any e-liquid inside the device.

Mod Performance

The mod automatically selects the output for the coil.

In my Xlim Pro the 0.8ohm pod automatically gets 16W of power. Comparing that with the Xlim Go it seems to be exactly the same.

As I have a couple of 0.6ohm pods knocking about I also compared the output between the two devices.

With the 0.6ohm pod the Xlim Pro automatically chucked out 22W and the Xlim Go seemed to match that

It should also work well with the 0.4ohm pods as the 30W maximum output is the same as the Xlim Pro.

The output gets a bit weak as you get a few puffs away from the battery charge being fully drained but this is normal. Otherwise the power is consistent all the way through the battery drain.

As there is no fire button this relies on auto draw sensors, which kick in super quick. I am just a bit sad that there is no fire button as a back-up should the sensors fail. I have had kits in the past (not OXVA) where the auto draw has failed over time.

Battery Life

This will always rely on your own vaping habits and the pod selected. I am a very heavy vaper so this must be considered. For a guide these are my timings…

With the 0.8ohm pod I got around 7-8 hours of vaping (4 pod refills @2ml).

Pros

• Simple version of the excellent Xlim range
• Bargain low price!
• Amazing pod life – I regularly get over 5000 puffs
• Compatible with V2, V3 and pre-filled Xlim Pods
• Beautiful to look at
• Incredible flavour
• Lightweight and a joy to hold
• Adjustable airflow
• Device selects perfect output automatically

Cons

• The pod resistance is etched into the pod base and is extremely hard to see.
• Cannot adjust the output – but the beauty of this kit is that it automatically gets the output spot on!
• Slower charge rate (1A) compared to the 2A rate of other Xlim kits.
• Kit contents a bit on the stingy side but this is priced very low

Final Review Verdict

The price of this is incredible!

Yes you only get 1 pod and the device – no lanyard or USB cable – but that means this kit is in the price range of 2 or 3 x 600 puff disposable vapes!

At that price this pod will last ages and give the most superior flavour of any pod kit I have ever tried.

I put my money where my mouth is as I use the Xlim Pro and SQ Pro daily. I have even bought them myself too as replacements for lost or faulty ones! That is how much I recommend the Xlim range!

The fact that this kit is super cheap and easy to use makes it the perfect candidate for anyone looking to switch from disposable vapes.

If you want super simplicity consider the OXVA Xlim Pre-Filled pods and you won’t even have to fill it! Just charge and replace the pods!

I think this is an absolute bargain and would recommend any starter vaper or disposable fan to buy it immediately!

I bought the Pink version with my own money as I love it so much! That is a huge recommendation from somebody who has pod kits coming out of her ears from reviews.

The post OXVA Xlim Go Review – Banging Bargain! appeared first on Ecigclick.

As the name suggests this is heavily based on the Caliburn GK3 with the additional more industrial styling of the Tenet range.

The Caliburn range are split into the A series and the G Series. So far the G series have given us the original Caliburn G, G2, GK2, G3 and GZ2.

Of course the brand name Uwell will be familiar to most vapers – not only due to the Caliburn series but also the Crown, Valyrian and Nunchaku ranges.

Thank you to Vape Club for sending this over for review! I will report on my experience with the device in my possession!

What To Expect From The Uwell Caliburn GK3 Tenet …

The “K” in the title stands for “KOKO” (Keep On Keeping On) and the “K” badged kits have a square format rather than the standard bar shape.

Inside the little square device is a 1000mAh battery which is charged via the Type C USB port at up to 2A.

To keep everything simple this has an auto draw activation and will automatically adjust the output to suit the pod installed up to 25W.

There is an operation button which is used to switch the device on and off and turn off the lighting.

Talking of lighting – the panel on one side lights up in various RGB colours when you vape – you can of course turn this off.

Around the operation button is a circular light which is animated and lights up to display the device status – such as charge remaining and faults.

This is compatible with the G3 range of pods with fixed coils. All the previous Caliburn G devices used removable coils which I did prefer.

This device is not backwards compatible with previous G pods.

There are 3 pod resistances to choose from – 0.6ohm, 0.9ohm (both included in kit) and a new 1.2ohm which promises to be on the way soon.

Apparently the new pods have bigger coils and improved flavour output.

When it comes to filling there will be two options. For the 2.5ml standard versions these will have a side refill port. For the 2ml TPD regulated areas this will be a top fill which is also designed to be Child Resistant (CRC).

You also have the option to use Pre-filled pods – for those who want the simplicity of a disposable vape but the sustainability of something reusable. These were reviewed alongside the Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite.

You can adjust the airflow by rotating the pod 180° in the mod – which seems a slight backward step compared to the excellent little Red adjustment wheel on previous Caliburn G pods.

There are 7 colours to choose from: Black, Evening Sunshine, Dark Ocean, Sweet Morning, Powder Blue, Grey and Vista White.

Uwell Caliburn GK3 Tenet Design & Build Quality

I received the Sweet Morning colour in the 2ml version.

The packaging is great, despite being very compact they have crammed a lot in there! The kit generously includes 2 pods, lanyard and charging cable!

The lanyard is of excellent quality I might add!

On the top of the inner tray is the device with one pod. On the underside of the tray is the rest of the kit!

Instruction wise this is great and if you find it a bit hard to read you can download a PDF version here.

Just to give an idea of size, here is the Uwell Caliburn GK3 Tenet alongside the OXVA Xlim SQ Pro and the Caliburn AK3.

Uwell Caliburn GK3 Tenet Mod

The main body is made from metal which is cast into an “industrial design”.

Whilst the front of the device has a large shiny Black plastic panel with mirror finish Silver patterns.

These patterns also light up when you are vaping with RGB lighting. You can turn the lighting off.

The video below shows the panel in action!

I love the look of the front panel, some might find it a bit “busy” but it is super shiny and the Silver bits have a holographic finish when you angle them in the light.

The rest of the body has all sorts going on. There are fake screws, fake screwed on plates and some weird dial shape with numbers on the back. Sadly these remind me of a cheap watch, where you get dials which are fake. I wish they were actual screws or plates screwed on as these details detract from the appearance.

On the rear you will find the round operating button which is nice and clicky. But you only need to use this to turn the device on or off or if you are fiddling with the light setting.

Surrounding this button is an animated light ring. It has all the RGB colours and the light circles around the ring. I think this is what is meant by the “Pacific Rim Theme” which is written on the box and the front panel. I love this effect and you can see it in action in the video below.

Both sides feature more of the same mock mouldings and the side where the pod sits has a single airflow inlet hole.

An e-liquid viewing window is provided which works perfectly as this time Uwell have cut out both sides so there is plenty of light to show the level clearly.

At the top is a hole for attaching a lanyard.

On the base is the USB Type C port, the required legal logos and what I assume are venting holes in case the battery has a tantrum.

The pod compartment is quite deep and you will find 2 magnets and 2 spring loaded electrical contacts. There is a slight wobble to the pod but it still sits in there firmly requiring a good tug to remove it. The strong magnets pull the pod into position when you insert it half way.

Uwell Caliburn G3 Pod

Sadly the G3 pod is not interchangeable with the G/G2 pod. They just do not fit in the others device. You can see the two pods side by side in the image below.

With this kit I have been supplied with the 2ml Top fill pods. But I have also experienced the side fill pods in my Caliburn G3 review so I will discuss both.

Side Fill Pods

Anyway these are a tinted Black colour all over but the e-liquid level is still nice and easy to see as the tinting is not too dark.

The mouthpiece is a very very smooth design and is super comfortable to use. The size of the pod width decreases with a small step below the mouthpiece area.

In the lower half of the pod you will find the minimum mark etched in plus the “Uwell”, “Pro-FOCS” and required legal logos. They are very faint so they do not look garish.

The base of the pod appears to be made from solid Black plastic which has a Red O-ring to seal between the outer pod and base.

On the bottom of the pod you will find the coil resistance and optimum power level etched in along with the “G3” logo.

There are 2 Gold coloured electrical contacts and 2 magnets to connect the pod to the mod.

On the outer edges of this face are the 2 airflow inlet holes. They are 2 different sizes, the smaller hole when selected will give a more restricted airflow and the larger hole will give a less restricted airflow.

Filling is taken care of with the side fill port. The port has a Silicone cover with arrows marking the point where you lift it to access the port.

It is easy to lift but I did find it was a bit fiddly to close the port as you need to align the cover exactly. Also the cover does not rotate out of the way very easily for filling.

The port is a Rectangle shape and measures approx 5x4mm and I found it worked well and I didn’t get any airlocks when filling. I used 30ml and 120ml bottles and there were no problems at all.

Top Fill Pods

You can recognise the top fill pods as they have a Black mouthpiece rather than the fully transparent pod with the side fill port.

The top fill is accessed by “snapping” off the mouthpiece. I found this difficult, but it is easier to keep the pod in the mod and push the mouthpiece across to remove it.

Sadly I resorted to biting it to remove it – hence you might see some teeth marks in my photos – sorry!

With the mouthpiece removed you are faced with what looks like 3 ports! The Red port is the fill port, the Black port is the air vent and the central port is where the vapour comes out.

To fill you need to use the bottle nozzle to press down on the valve in the Red fill port. This is very clever as it also opens the vent port allowing air to escape and prevent air locks when filling. When you remove the bottle nozzle both ports close. A very very good design which resulted in zero air locks!

The rest of the pod which is not covered by the mouthpiece is transparent and not tinted which means the view from the window in the mod is excellent.

On the base of the pod you will see the “G3” logo, pod resistance and recommended power. But this is quite difficult to see as it is lightly etched into the Black plastic of the base.

As with the side fill pod this has 2 bottom airflow holes – one is bigger than the other so you can rotate the pod 180° for 2 different airflow settings.

The pod base also features 2 magnets and 2 electrical connections.

Quick Start Guide

As this is such a simple device you only need to fill the pod, charge if required and set the airflow.

Also after filling the pod you will need to remove the isolator sticker from the base of the pod. This is there to prevent an electrical connection whilst in transit or until the pod is filled with e-liquid. Firing an empty pod will result in pod damage due to the coil burning out.

I will guide you through the steps below!

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off = Press the fire button 5 times.
• Vaping = This is an “auto draw” device – simply inhale on the mouthpiece and it will fire.
• Battery indicator = The ring around the operation button is the indicator. It lights up when vaping – Green = Over 60% charge remaining, Blue = 30-60% and Red = less than 30%.
• Battery indicator when charging = When you connect the charging cable the device will vibrate twice. When fully charged the decorative light panel will stay on in a solid Green colour and the same with the LED indicator around the button.
• Airflow = There are two airflow settings. To change setting remove the pod and rotate it 180°. When the large airflow hole is on the right with the fire button facing you it will be the less restricted airflow. And vice versa with the small hole on the right – more restricted airflow.
• Turn off lighting effect = Press the button 3 times in 2 seconds. The LED indicator will flash Red 3 times if you have turned the lights off and in Green 3 times to indicate you have turned the lights on.

Protections

• Open circuit: When no pod is installed or if there is an open circuit the LED indicator will flash Blue 3 times and the device will vibrate once. Install a pod or clean all contacts. Failing that replace with a new pod.
• Low Voltage: When the battery charge is too low for the device to operate the LED indicator will flash Red 10 times. The device will vibrate three times and stop working until it has been charged.
• Short circuit: The LED indicator will flash Red 3 times, the device will vibrate twice and the output will cut out. Clean all contacts, replace pod.
• Over time protection: If vaping for longer than 8 seconds the firing will cut out to prevent damage or overheating. The LED indicator will flash Green 5 times and vibrate twice. Carry on vaping as normal.
• Inserting / removing pod: The device will vibrate once when you remove or insert a pod. The LED indicator will flash 3 times – Green when inserting pod or Blue when removing pod.

How To Charge The Battery

The charging rate is specified as 2A.

The device will vibrate twice when connected to or disconnected from the charger – just in case you were worried what it was doing!

• Using a USB type C cable, connect the small end into the USB port on the mod.
• Connect the large end of the cable into a suitable USB outlet.
• The LED around the button will change colour – Red when first charging.
• The LED will display a solid green and then vibrate when fully charged.

I found it took around 55 minutes to fully charge.

How To Fill the Pod

If a new pod leave to stand for 5-10 minutes after first fill to allow the coil to saturate with e-liquid.

Make sure to fill when the e-liquid level is above the minimum marking on the side of the pod.

Side Fill Pod

• Remove the pod from the mod.
• Tip the pod onto its side and lift up the fill port cover.
• Add e-liquid and watch the level through the side of the pod.
• Replace the fill port cover firmly.
• Insert the pod back into the mod.

Top Fill Pod

• You do not need to remove the pod for filling.
• Snap off the mouthpiece by pushing it to the side.
• Push down on the Red port with e-liquid nozzle.

  

• Fill whilst observing the e-liquid level through the side of the pod.
• Replace mouthpiece.

How Does the Uwell Caliburn GK3 Tenet Perform?

I tested this with my DIY Bubblegum e-liquid made from 50/50 VG/PG and IVG Bubblegum Concentrate. There is around 6mg nicotine salt added.

If any of these terms are over your head – have a read of our handy guides below!

• MTL V DTL V RDL – A Guide To Vape Styles
• VG and PG in E-liquid – all you need to know
• Beginners guide to E-liquid
• Nic Salt E-liquid

0.6ohm Caliburn G3 Pod

This pod should be able to cope with 50/50 and up to around 70/30 e-liquid ratios as it is just on the cusp of being a MTL / RDL / DTL pod at 0.6ohms!

This gives an excellent flavour, is quite warm and a great throat hit even with only 6mg nicotine strength. If you are using a higher nic strength you might find this pod a bit too harsh and would be better off using the 0.9ohm.

There was a slight dryness to the vape – on the G3 I did knock the power down slightly, but unfortunately you cannot do this on the GK3 Tenet. But I still really enjoyed using this pod, I would have just knocked it down 1W.

After 9 refills the pod flavour is still going strong!

0.9ohm Caliburn G3 Pod

The flavour is absolutely perfect – no complaints at all and I got all the rounded flavours that make up my Bubblegum e-liquid.

As for vapour this is average, exactly what you would expect from this kind of device.

I don’t get much throat hit as I only use 6mg nicotine – but I would imagine that you get a decent rasp at the back of the throat with higher nic strengths.

The first 2ml of e-liquid had a slightly strange taste in the background, but this soon cleared with the second filling.

I have refilled this 8 times and the flavour is still ace!

Excellent pod!

Airflow

For both pods I preferred to use the more open (less restricted) airflow settings.

To help rate how restricted the airflow is, I use a scale – where 0 = fully closed, no airflow up to 10 = breathing fresh air.

So you only have 2 airflow settings to choose from – adjusted by rotating the pod 180° when inserting into the mod.

With the 0.9ohm pod the airflow on the largest setting was around 4 which is a loose MTL or ideal RDL restriction. On the small airflow setting this reduces to around a 2.5 which is great for a true MTL. In the more restricted setting the vapour does get quite hot so I preferred the more open setting.

The airflow on the 0.6ohm pod was around 3 on the smallest setting which did get a bit hot. I would say it is around 5 on the larger setting. This is more RDL than DTL territory.

Mod Performance

I had zero issues and the auto draw fire was super quick and responsive with no stuttering or missfires.

I will say that when the Red LED illuminates to indicate the battery charge is running out the output does suffer a bit. After a while it does become quite weak – but this is pretty normal.

Leaks

I did get some slight misting of condensation with both pods – easily dealt with but no leaks at all!

Battery Life

This will always vary according to the power output selected, pod used and your own vaping habits. As a guide I got the following (with the panel lights in use I may add!)…

With the 0.9ohm pod I got around 8.5 hours and 4 (2ml) refills to one charge.

For the 0.6ohm pod it was still around 6-7 hours and 3-4 refills.

Pros

• Excellent build quality
• E-liquid window has cut outs on both sides of mod so has plenty of light to see clearly
• Vibration alerts are handy
• The light up front panel is super shiny
• Love the light ring around the operation button
• Excellent MTL and RDL airflow settings
• Great battery life
• The flavour is just epic!

Cons

• Lack of full airflow adjustment – it only caters for MTL and RDL – too restricted for DTL.
• Fixed coil rather than replaceable coil
• Not compatible with pods / coils of previous Caliburn G kits
• Slightly unusual appearance (subjective) – the fake screws and mouldings cheapen the finish
• I still find the top fill mouthpiece hard to remove – resorting to biting it!

Uwell Caliburn GK3 Tenet Final Review Verdict

The only real downside of this device is its appearance.

I love a bit of industrial design and really liked the original Tenet.

But with the GK3 there is just a bit too much “fakeness”. Fake mouldings of screws and dials is a bit off putting. All this still wouldn’t stop me buying it as the performance is as wonderful as you would expect from a Caliburn.

Another slight negative is the fact there are only 2 airflow settings. I much prefer a full airflow adjustment. Saying that it does cater well to those who like a tight MTL and a looser MTL/RDL airflow.

I am not sure if it is my useless hands or if the mouthpiece is a nightmare to remove on the top fill pods. I would much prefer the side fill pods.

Performance wise I cannot fault this and it is super simple for even beginners to enjoy!

Another solid Caliburn to add to the range!

Innokin are well known as a vape industry leader as well as a big innovator, becoming one of the largest and most well-known vaping brands over the past couple of years.

They use their vast industry knowledge and experience to come up with new and innovative kits that appeal to all and collaborate with some of the biggest vaping personalities in the industry.

Innokin cleaned up six accolades in the recent Ecigclick awards.

The have earned great reviews from us recently for products such as the Innokin Zyon, Kroma-Nova kit and the sustainably designed Innokin Trine pod system.

Have Innokin got another hit on their hands with the Z Pod Nano? Let’s have a look…

What Can We Expect From The Innokin Z Pod Nano?

A very small form factor device…in fact one of the smallest pod kits on the market to date!

And this one is marketed squarely at Mouth To Lung vapers (MTL). We tell you what this term means in our Guide To Vape Styles!

Included in the kit are 0.8ohm and 1.0ohm pods. 1.2ohm pods are also available separately if you prefer an even tighter mouth to lung draw.

The airflow inlet is actually located on the base of the pod itself and you can adjust the airflow between two options.

The pods feature a side filling system, with a side filling tab covering the filling port. They have been designed so that it is easy to see the e-liquid level.

Wattage can be adjusted from 6 to 15 watts and an intuitive OLED screen is present on the device.

You simply inhale on the mouthpiece to activate it, making for effortless operation.

A 700mAh battery is built into the device, which is rechargeable via USB-C.

You can pick from six different colour options, with Ice Blue, Black, Klein Blue, Light Yellow, Pink and Red available.

Many thanks to Innokin for sending the Z Pod Nano in for review, as always my views are my own.

Design & Build Quality

Now this really is a diddy little pod system, it measures in at a tiny 26.5mm x 21.5mm x 82.25mm and weighs only 45.3g.

It gets absolutely swallowed up in my hand and is absolutely one of the smallest pod systems that I have ever had my hands on!

It features an Aluminium and Polycarbonate construction and despite its small stature it actually feels pretty solid and robust.

The pod features a 2ml capacity and has a drip tip built into it, with a fixed coil inside.

There is a filling port located on the pod and a dual airflow selector on the base. These pods connect magnetically to the Z Pod Nano device and a transparent viewing window allows you to clearly see how much e-liquid you have left in the tank.

On the front of the device is the OLED screen, which displays the battery level,output wattage and a puff timer. The screen is clear and easy to read – even in direct sunlight!

I do really like the look of this kit. It is great to hold in the hand and it’s tiny enough that you could chuck it in your pocket and not even realise it’s there. In fact you could chuck a couple of these in your pocket and not even know they are there!

Quick Start Guide

Filling The Pod

First things first, you will need to fill up the pod. And with the design of the Z Pod Nano, you don’t even need to fully remove the pod from the device.

Simply slide off the housing to reveal the fill port on the front on the pod, pull the silicone cover to one side and fill up through the filling port.

If you are filling up a fresh pod for the first time, it is recommended to leave it for five minutes before taking a puff on the device to allow the e-liquid to fully saturate the cotton and reduce the risk of dry hits.

Operation

It has a ‘power button’, however this is a draw activated device, so you simply take a draw on it to fire.

• Turn device on/off: click the power button three times in two seconds.
• Adjust output: Clicking the power button twice continuously will allow you to adjust the output wattage from 6 to 15W in 0.5W increments. You can either leave it for five seconds or take a puff to lock in the selected wattage setting.

Safety protections are built into the Z Pod Nano, with low battery, no load/ high resistance, short circuit, auto-shut off and overheating protections built in.

Airflow Adjustment

There is a fixed airflow hole at the base of the pod and the airflow switch will reveal a second airflow hole when you have it open.

So, you have got the option of a tight mouth to lung draw with both airflow holes open and an even tighter one with the second airflow hole closed down!

Charging

A USB-C port is present on the device and a USB-C cable is also handily included in the box.

Simply plug the cable into the Z Pod Nano and it will charge the 700mAh battery up quickly with up to a 1A charging output. As long as you have plugged the charging cable into a suitable power source!

How Does The Innokin Z Pod Nano Perform?

I have actually had this kit in my possession for the past month, which has given me plenty of time to really put it through its paces!

You get two Z Pod Nano pods included with the kit, featuring resistances of 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm.

The 0.8ohm pod is the one that comes pre-installed with the kit and Innokin recommend that this is used in the 12-14W range. Though you won’t have any trouble if you push this up to the 15W maximum output of the Z Pod Nano.

The 1.2ohm pod comes spare in the kit and is recommended for use in the 9-12W range.

For me personally, the 0.8ohm pod was my preferred one.

I felt that the flavour was more pronounced with this particular pod when compared to the 1.2ohm one. I could vape this quite happily on either airflow setting. With the 1.2ohm pod, I needed the second airflow hole closed off to really get anything out of it.

Lifespan Of Pods

Lifespan of the pods is very good indeed, I got two weeks out of the 0.8ohm pod before I needed to replace it. It handles 50/50 and 60/40 VG/PG e-liquid really well, making it a great option for nicotine salt based e-liquids.

You do need to check the pods for condensation build up from time to time and give it a wipe, as I did notice a fair bit of condensation every few days. I didn’t get any issues with spitting or gurgling from the pods, just a consistent vape each time.

The built in 700mAh battery couldn’t quite get me through a full days’ worth of vaping, but with a device this small I wouldn’t expect it to be packing a massive battery if I’m honest, it would likely be a bit of a logistical nightmare trying to fit a larger one in!

Pros

• Tiny, discreet little device
• Great kit for mouth to lung vapers
• Useful for beginners and experienced vapers alike
• Easy to use
• Smooth mouth to lung draw
• Good flavour
• Pods last a long time
• Variable wattage and voltage

Cons

• Will be a touch underpowered for some users
• Not a device for you if you have big hands!
• Not for restricted direct lung vapers
• Battery life is a little on the short side
• Bit of a weak vape from the 1.2ohm pod

Final Verdict

A funky looking compact little kit, that punches well above its weight in the flavour department! The six colour options are great too.

This will please mouth to lung vapers, as it offers a very tasty and smooth mouth to lung vape especially when using the 0.8ohm pod. Having variable wattage and a couple of airflow options, is a bonus on a device this small!

As expected with an Innokin product, you get long lifespan from the pods and the build quality of the device itself is pretty robust. This kit definitely handles day to day use very well indeed, and I’m yet to pick up any scratches on the finish.

If you are in the market for a compact little mouth to lung pod system then you really can’t go wrong with this one. It is packed with all the features that you need and performs really well for its size too.

Thanks go to Innokin for sending the Z Pod Nano in for review, this is available to purchase now.

So, what are your thoughts on the Innokin Z Pod Nano, is this little device something you are interested in picking up? Let us know in the comments!

The post Innokin Z Pod Nano Review appeared first on Ecigclick.

Vaporesso’s XROS brand has become one of the most recognisable names when it comes to pod kits.

We will be having a look at the XROS 4 in this review!

Earlier in the year, we reviewed the Vaporesso XROS Pro to great acclaim and it is a pod system I am still using to this day!

We’ve also taken a look at Vaporesso’s first range of e-liquid, Deliciu and also the Coss Click range of disposables that they recently released.

Vaporesso have been committed to delivering quality products over the years. This has been recognised with multiple awards globally – in fact over 130 awards to date!

Many thanks to Vaporesso for sending the XROS 4 in for review!

Will the XROS 4 follow in the footsteps of the XROS Pro? Let’s dive in and have a look…

What Can We Expect From The Vaporesso XROS 4?

The Vaporesso XROS 4 is a pod system that offers a simple, user-friendly experience.

It has 3 power output modes plus true Mouth To Lung (MTL) and Restricted Direct Lung (RDL) vaping. We tell you what these terms mean in our Guide To Vape Styles.

This is compatible with the full range of XROS pods, aside from the ones specifically designed for the XROS Pro.

The included 0.4ohm XROS pod features upgraded COREX 2.0 technology! This upgraded COREX 2.0 technology builds on the original and offers increased flavour and vapour production, with an even better pod lifespan!

Refined adjustments to the mesh grid within the coil ensures that the temperature matching is optimised. Which enables faster coil heating and even better taste. The cotton within the coil has also been upgraded, to make for better wicking and prevention of burnt hits.

An easy top filling system is found on the XROS pods. These have a 2ml capacity in TPD regulated areas and a 3ml capacity outside of this.

AXON pulse technology means that power is consistently boosted by the chipset. This ensures you have a regular and consistent vaping experience regardless of the current battery level. So your first puff should taste just as good as the last one!

There’s three power modes to choose from on the XROS 4 to suit your preferred style of vaping. It is easy to switch between the three different settings with single button operation.

A 1000mAh battery is built into the device, which fast charges in just 30 minutes via USB Type C.

An airflow adjustment slider on the XROS 4 makes fine tuning the airflow simple.

There are ten different colour options available at launch: Black, Silver, Blue, Green, Lilac Purple, Sunset Neon, Pink Mint, Champagne Gold, Pastel Palette and Bloody Mary.

XROS 4 Mini Overview

Alongside the XROS 4, Vaporesso are also releasing the XROS 4 Mini, which offers an even simpler vaping experience in a smaller package.

This also is compatible with the same range of XROS pods, taking advantage of that sweet COREX 2.0 technology and has an easy auto-draw system.

Adjustable airflow is also included, along with the same built in 1000mAh battery. Also a practical battery level indicator is also found on the device.

Design & Build Quality

I received the Purple and Bloody Mary colour options for review. Let me tell you – these are definitely lookers! The colours really stand out and make for a very attractive looking pod system.

The build quality is rock solid, these really do feel robustly made. The XROS 4 features an all Aluminium Alloy unibody design and this really looks and feels like a premium product.

It measures in at 120.8mm x 24mm x 14mm, making it actually a touch taller than the XROS Pro, but it is slightly thinner and feels lighter too.

It has smooth rounded edges which sit nicely in hand making it comfortable to hold and to operate.

A magnetic connection is used for the XROS pods, which connect with a satisfying click and are held in place nicely. A large viewing window is present on the pods, allowing you to easily check the e-liquid level and an easy to use top filling system is present.

On the body of the XROS 4 device is an LED display, which shows the current battery level, selected power output and has the power button at the bottom of the screen.

On the opposite side is the airflow adjustment slider, which features smooth travel and enables easy adjustment of the airflow on the fly.

There’s also a USB-C charging port located on the side of the XROS 4.

Quick Start Guide

How To Fill The XROS 4 Pod

Firstly, you’ll want to fill up the pod, to do so simply:

• Pop off the Black mouthpiece from the top of the pod
• Locate the Red filling port
• Stick the bottle nozzle into the filling port and fill it up.

After doing this, replace the mouthpiece and let the e-liquid sit in the pod for at least five minutes to allow the e-liquid to fully saturate the cotton. This will reduce the risk of dry hits and prolong the lifespan of the pods.

Operation

Next up, click the power button five times to turn the XROS 4 on. The screen should light up and cycle through a few different LED colours.

Airflow can be adjusted by simply popping your thumb on the airflow slider and sliding it right to close the airflow down, and left to open it up.

To cycle through the three different power settings, click the power button twice in two seconds to change the setting.

I’m no fan of fire buttons on pod systems, so after selecting my preferred power setting I locked it immediately by clicking the power button three times in two seconds!

If you haven’t locked the fire button, you can hold it down to fire the XROS 4, or simply take a draw on it. Auto draw mode will still be available regardless of whether the power button is locked.

Battery level is indicated via a coloured LED on the screen, Green means that there is 70-100% charge left, Blue is 30-70% and Red is 30%.

Charging

2A fast charging is supported by the XROS 4 meaning that you can get a full charge in just 30 minutes via USB-C.

A USB-C cable is included in the box, which slots into the charging port on the side of the device.

How Does The Vaporesso XROS 4 Perform?

You have a 0.4ohm XROS pod and a 0.8ohm XROS pod included in the kit, with the 0.4ohm pod boasting the upgraded COREX 2.0 technology.

Interestingly the Bloody Mary kit that I received for review actually featured a 0.6ohm XROS pod as well as the 0.8ohm one… But when I look online I can only see this being sold with the 0.4ohm and 0.8ohm pods, go figure!

I received the 3ml XROS pod editions for review, but these will have a 2ml capacity if purchased within a region covered by the Tobacco Products Directive, such as the UK.

Having previously tried out the 0.4ohm XROS pods with the XROS Pro, which are designed for restricted direct lung vaping, I was blown away with how good the performance of these were, with market leading performance in the flavour and vapour department.

And this is no different here, that same absolutely outstanding flavour delivery is very much present and correct!

These really do get the absolute most out of your e-liquids, allowing you to really enjoy all the flavour notes present in them and massively punch above their weight for a pod!

I hadn’t tried out the 0.6ohm pods before but I was very pleased with the performance of these as well.

Like the 0.4ohm pods, they are best suited for restricted direct lung vaping, offering a slightly cooler and less intense vape than the 0.4ohm pod but still packing plenty in the flavour and vapour departments.

The 0.8ohm coil is suited to a loose mouth to lung draw, so you’ll want to dial down the airflow when using this one. Flavour is still very good with this pod but the 0.4ohm and 0.6ohm versions win out for me here, as they are more suited to my style of vaping.

The 0.4ohm and 0.6ohm pods are pretty thirsty when it comes to e-liquid, I could easily refill one of these three times a day!

Leaking?

I also don’t have any issues with leaks from them either, aside from a very small bit of condensation build up at the base that I need to wipe away from time to time.

Lifespan

Lifespan is excellent, I’ve been using these pods daily for over the past week and they are still going strong with no degradation of flavour.

Airflow

Adjusting the airflow gives you the option of a loose restricted lung hit when set fully open. Right down to a tight mouth to lung draw when closed down, with everything in-between.

The XROS 4 can kick out some pretty decent clouds with the airflow wide open.

Mod Performance

As well as adjusting the airflow, you can select from three different power output settings. To be honest I just stuck with the most powerful setting and left it at that as I found the other two settings too weak for my style of vaping. I quite enjoy a powerful vape!

Built into the XROS 4 is a 1000mAh battery, which will struggle to last a day with heavy usage. Fast charging is a bonus, but I’ve found that I have needed to take this out alongside another device if I’m going to be spending a while away from a plug socket!

Pros

• Outstanding flavour from the XROS pods
• Solid build quality
• Rock solid construction
• Great looks
• 2A fast charging is pretty rapid
• Mouth to lung and restricted direct lung hit options
• Lots of different pod options available in the XROS range

Cons

• Screen is hard to see in daylight and bright light conditions
• No way to finely adjust the wattage output
• Battery doesn’t quite last all day
• 0.4ohm XROS pod is pretty thirsty

Final Verdict

If you have read my Vaporesso XROS Pro review, you will know that I was a big fan of that, so I was really keen to try out the XROS 4.

And I’ve been left really impressed by this great bit of kit. You get absolutely excellent flavour from the XROS pods! Honestly amongst the absolute best in the pod market at the moment and they don’t slouch when it comes to kicking out the vapour too.

Build quality is absolutely great and there’s a wide range of different colours to pick from. The screen is bold and clear – as long as you aren’t in bright light!

It certainly won’t supplant my XROS Pro, but it will be an absolutely rock solid back up to it.

I can see this being a great option for people that are looking for a top performing pod system as a back up to their main device. Or for someone that just wants a very simple pod system that vapes fantastically well.

I would certainly recommend switching to something like this if you are still using disposable vapes!

If you don’t want to muck around with adjusting the power output and want a really simple plug and play option that has compatibility with the same excellent XROS pods at a cheaper price, then it is also worth considering the Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini.

This follows on from the Wenax Stylus, Wenax K1, Wenax U and Wenax Q. Though rather confusingly if you go on Geekvape’s website and click on the ‘Wenax’ section…you won’t find the Wenax Q Mini nor the Wenax Q listed there. They are found under the ‘Q pod’ section!

Geekvape really made a name for themselves way back in 2016 with the Geekvape Griffin RTA and Geekvape Tsunami RDA. Most recently, we’ve looked at and reviewed some of their newer products such as the Z Fli Sub Ohm Tank, Meloso Mini disposables, Wenax K2 and the Sonder Q.

They have grown into one of the largest and most recognisable brand names in the industry and have won a string of awards along the way. Including cleaning up some awards in the Ecigclick Awards over the years!

What Can We Expect From The Geekvape Wenax Q Mini?

As per other Geekvape products in the Q and Wenax ranges, this is a refillable pod kit.

Refillable pod systems are a great option to look at if you currently use disposable vapes.

They offer better performance, a pod that can be refilled multiple times with different e-liquids and rechargeable batteries. Some even offer different bells and whistles such as adjustable airflow and variable wattage to really tailor your vape.

Plus they are more environmentally friendly, as there is less waste from them. Also they tend to save you money in the long run over disposables. They are pretty much just as easy to use as a disposable vape as well!

The Wenax Q Mini has 2ml capacity top filled refillable pods and comes with both a 0.6ohm pod and 1.2ohm pod. It outputs up to 25W of power, with Smart Mode detecting the resistance of the pod and how much battery life is left to judge how much power to deliver to the pod.

It retains compatibility with the existing Q series of pods, so you can also choose from a 0.8ohm pod as well as the included 0.6ohm and 1.2ohm pods.

A 1000mAh battery is built into the device, which is charged via USB-C. Geekvape say that this will deliver up to two days of battery life. Handy for when you are out and about and away from a power source!

There’s also an adjustable airflow slider, LED indicator light and a range of different eye-catching designs to pick from.

Vape Club have very kindly sent us one to review, so let’s have a look at how the Geekvape Wenax Q Mini performs.

Design and Build Quality

Well this is certainly a looker! Vape Club sent me the Gradient Gold finish and I really do love how this kit looks. The gradient between the Gold and Aqua Blue is lovely, as are the etched designs on the kit itself.

There’s six different designs available, with Black, Turquoise, Pink, Gradient Gray, Gradient Purple and the Gradient Gold version that I was sent for review.

Now I’m not sure where they got the ‘Mini’ name from, especially as this kit has dimensions of 120mm x 24mm x 14mm and weighs 52g! Definitely making it a lot larger than other ‘mini’ pod system devices that I have used recently such as the Uwell Caliburn GK3!

In the hand, it is pretty nice to hold. Edges are rounded so there are no sharp bits digging into your hand and the pen style of the Wenax Q Mini makes it a nice and ergonomic little device.

It is quite robust as well and the finish hasn’t really picked up any scratches whilst I’ve used it, nor is it much of a fingerprint magnet.

On the front of the device you’ll spot the X shaped LED light indicator, which is the X in Wenax on the device, which pulses different colours to show how much battery remains.

On the back is the Geekvape logo.

The one side features the airflow adjustment slider, which is a silver toggle and on the opposite side is the USB-C charging port.

Quick Start Guide

This is a draw activated pod system, with the power output automatically selected for you by the device. So all you need to do is to take it out of the box, fill the pod with e-liquid and get vaping on it.

How To Fill The Geekvape Wenax Q Mini Pod

A top filling system is used on the Q pods and it is so easy to use you don’t even need to take the pod out of the device to fill it.

• Simply pop the mouthpiece off of the pod
• Locate the square shaped filling port and pop the nozzle of your bottle in there and fill.
• When filling it for the first time, let the e-liquid sit in the tank for at least five minutes to allow it to fully soak into the coil.

One very small gripe that I have with the design of the pods is that you can’t see exactly how much e-liquid is left in the pod unless you remove the pod or invert it, but it isn’t exactly a dealbreaker.

Charging

Battery level is displayed via the X shaped LED indicator (the X on Wenax along the side of the device!) and it will pulse a different colour depending on how much juice is left in the battery. Green means that 70-100% battery remains, Blue means 31-69% remains and Red is 0-30%.

Charging the device is as simple as using the included USB-C cable and plugging it into the charging port located at the side of the device and ensuring that the cable is plugged into a power source. It will charge up from empty to full in around an hour.

How does the Geekvape Wenax Q Mini perform?

Firstly, I’ll look at the 0.6ohm pod as this comes installed in the device. This is designed for restricted direct lung hit vaping (RDL).

We tell you about RDL, MTL and DTL in our Guide To Vaping Styles.

Using this pod will mean that the Wenax Q Mini will output between 18-25W depending on how much power is left in the battery. It will start off with a 25W power output and gradually trickle down to 18W over usage.

I’ve found this works best with the airflow either having two holes exposed or fully open.

It delivers a slightly warm vape that is surprisingly well saturated with flavour. It performed really well with a range of different dessert flavoured and fruit flavoured e-liquids that I ran through it!

In the box you also get a 1.2ohm pod designed for mouth to lung (MTL) vaping and using this pod means that 8-12W of power will be delivered.

Whilst using this I have found that you need to dial the airflow right down to get a ‘true’ mouth to lung vape, so bear that in mind. If the airflow is half or fully open, this is too airy for a mouth to lung vape and it will make the vape quite weak.

Again, as with the 0.6ohm coil, the flavour production is pretty good here – but as long as you have dialled the airflow down.

The pods are rated for 20ml worth of refills, so 10 refills. But during usage I have got more than that. I have been using this device daily for the past couple of weeks and the 0.6ohm pod is still going strong, with no signs of degradation and it definitely has had more than 10 refills!

Airflow can be adjusted using the slider at the side of the device, with four different options available.

It can be completely closed down for a tight mouth to lung vape. Have one hole exposed for a looser mouth to lung hit, two holes exposed is in the realm of a restricted lung hit rather than a mouth to lung hit and fully open is definitely a restricted lung hit. Vapour production is pretty decent with the airflow fully open!

A 1000mAh battery is built into the device, and Geekvape claim that this offers two days’ worth of battery life. This is obviously dependent on how you use it and which pod you are using.

If you vape it infrequently and with the 1.2ohm coil then yes – you will get two days or more. However from experience, heavier usage with the 0.6ohm coil brings this right down to just over a day’s worth of use. Thankfully it does recharge pretty quickly.

Pros

• Adjustable airflow gives you some control over your vape
• Good flavour from both pods
• Long lifespan from the pods
• Easy to fill
• Great looks
• Easy puff and go option
• Mouth to lung and restricted direct lung hit options
• Battery lifespan is very good
• Well priced

Cons

• More feature rich Wenax Q version is available for the same price
• No way to adjust wattage
• Not the smallest ‘mini’ device on the market
• Need to remove the pod or invert the device to see exactly how much e-liquid you have left

Final Verdict

Overall, this is a pretty solid little performer. It is easy to use – simply puff away on it! It is easy to refill and I enjoyed the flavour that both of the included pods delivered.

Long lifespan from the pods is another bonus, as is the fact that this is a pretty good-looking little pod system with a range of different colours available.

I couldn’t really find much to fault with it, it just does exactly what I would expect from a pod system and I have enjoyed my time using it!

However, I did notice that the Wenax Q is available for the same price as the Wenax Q Mini and this comes with more features such as variable wattage, a screen and the ability to lock the device.

I can’t comment on how the Wenax Q performs in comparison to the Wenax Q Mini, as I haven’t tried it, but you can read our review.

I guess that deciding between purchasing the Wenax Q Mini or the Wenax Q boils down to whether you just want to puff away on your device without having to adjust any settings other than airflow, or whether you do like to tinker with the power output to further tailor your vape!

Many thanks to Vape Club for sending the Geekvape Wenax Q Mini over for review, this is available now through Vape Club for the bargain price of £14.99!
