The Smoant Pasito Mini is the latest update to the popular Pasito family.

Pasito Mini banner

The Pasito family of pod kits include the original Pasito and the Pasito II.

Visit the Smoant Website for more information!

What To Expect From The Smoant Pasito Mini…

I actually reviewed the original Pasito and the fact it had an RBA coil which gave out amazing flavour really set it apart from other pod kits at the time.

pasito mini components

Unfortunately from what I can tell (I may be wrong) but this version is not compatible with previous Pasito coils.

There appears to be a new coil range the “P-Series” which come in 0.6ohm (P-1), 0.8ohm (P-2) and 1ohm (P-3) mesh coils. The P-1 and P-3 coils are included in the kit.

pasito mini coils

Inside the mod is a 1100mAh battery which is charged via the USB Type C port at up to 1A charge rate.

pasito mini battery

This has 3 power output levels which depend on which coil is installed…

  • High = 22.2W (0.6ohm coil), 16.6W (0.8ohm coil) or 13.3W (1ohm coil)
  • Medium = 21W (0.6ohm), 15.7W (0.8ohm) or 12.6W (1 ohm)
  • Low = 20W (0.6ohm), 15W (0.8ohm) or 11.9W (1ohm).

pasito mini output

The output is regulated so should stay constant regardless of battery charge.

pasito mini constant output

A strip light style LED will inform of the power level selected and the battery charge remaining.

The pod section has an adjustable airflow slider to tailor the incoming airflow restriction to suit your preference.

Plus to make filling easy a side fill port is provided so you no longer have to remove the pod when filling!

pasito mini filling

Talking of filling this will hold up to 3.5ml of your own e-liquid in standard format. However for marketing in TPD Regulated areas the capacity will be reduced to 2ml.

A clear viewing window allows you to see your e-liquid level easily.

In for review is the brand new SMOANT KNIGHT 40 pod kit.

SMOANT Knight 40 pod kit hand check imageSMOANT are no stranger when it comes to pod kits. The Pasito, Battlestar and Charon ranges instantly spring to mind. I was blissfully unaware there’s already been a KNIGHT 80 pod kit released.

The SMOANT KNIGHT 40 treads a completely different path in terms of power and design.

I’ve already mentioned this in recent reviews – the trend these days is for futuristic, high tech transparency. We’ve seen it with the Voopoo P1 pod kit and the Vaporesso LUXE XR.

Knight 40 banner 1

.. We’re seeing it again with the KNIGHT 40 pod kit.

SMOANT are based in Shenzhen, China. Their continuous goal is to satisfy all types of vapers. Yes, that does include tootle puffers and Mod wompers!

They’re also open to any possible improvements to their products. I’m hoping that’s not necessary with the KNIGHT 40 pod kit. Seems SMOANT aren’t happy until we are.

Visit The Smoant Website for more details!

What Can We Expect From the SMOANT KNIGHT 40 Pod Kit?

Gone is the single 18650 battery of the KNIGHT 80 pod kit, ditched in favour of an integrated 1500mAh alternative.

SMOANT KNIGHT 40 batteryThe screen is now front mounted and the box style design wouldn’t look out of place in an upcoming Robocop flick.

We now only have 40W to play about with. To work around the coil configurations of its more powerful sibling, three of the plug and play S series mesh coils have been upgraded.

SMOANT KNIGHT 40 new coilsA coil adaptor is included to ensure full compatibility with the rest of the S-Series coils.

knight 40 s-coil range

Thanks to top adjustable airflow, the SMOANT KNIGHT 40 is able to capitalise on the upgraded coils to provide either a DL (Direct Lung), RDL (Restrictive Direct Lung) or MTL (Mouth To Lung) vape. We tell you what these terms mean in our Guide To Vape Styles.

SMOANT KNIGHT 40 top airflowThere’s also an RBA section available that can handle a resistance range of between 0.2 – 3.0ohm. So every style of vaping is possible to the budding coil builder.

The SMOANT ANT chip of the KNIGHT 80 makes it across so we can expect the same intelligent and reassuring vape experience.

Because some of the coils push the wattage limits of the device, a dual PCB chip structure has been employed to make efficient use of available power.

Knight 40 dual PCBIt’s not looking like there’s a TPD compliant edition since the pod has an e-liquid capacity of 3.5ml.

Expect to see the SMOANT KNIGHT 40 in four colour schemes. Gunmetal, Stainless Steel, Black and Rainbow (under review).

SMOANT KNIGHT 40 Pod Kit – Design and Build Quality

The Battery Section

Being made of Zinc Alloy the device is very light and surprisingly comfortable in the hand given the design. However, the fire button is located below the half way point so finger firing will be the most natural method.

Fire and menu button on the SMOANT KNIGHT 40 pod kitHowever, finger firing will block the tiny 0.42″ screen. Something to consider, maybe.

One side of the battery section is tubular in design with the SMOANT logo running vertically down the spine.

No doubt this is the housing for the 1500mAh integrated battery.

SMOANT logo on the side of the KNIGHT 40 pod kitThe majority of the frame is comprised of clear PCTG and doesn’t match the frosted finish of the pod.

Leads, wires and circuitry are all clearly visible. I guess it looks kind of neat but at the same time has an unfinished quality about it.

Transparency and USB C port of SMOANT 40 pod kitI’m pleased that the Type C USB charging port has been side mounted. There’s enough width on the base of the battery section to allow the KNIGHT 40 to stand freely. It’s not going to tip over very easily.

The exterior of the pod housing is Zinc Alloy and spray coated with the colour scheme of choice. This also extends to the base of the device.

Speaking of the base it’s cool that SMOANT have included adequate battery venting.

Quick Start Guide

knight 40 components

How To Use the SMOANT KNIGHT 40 Pod Kit

knight 40 screen

  • Press the fire button five times to turn the device on or off
  • Press the fire button three times to select mode. Use the menu button to select mode.
  • Modes are VW (variable Wattage), DVW and colour. Choose White, Red, Orange, Green or Blue. Press and hold the fire button to confirm selection
  • Press the fire button and select button together to reset the puff counter

NB: The ANT chip will automatically detect the best wattage setting for the installed coil. I particularly like how coil parameters are briefly displayed on the screen when the pod is inserted.

Nice touch, SMOANT!

SMOANT Knight 40 pod kit in variable wattage mode
Variable wattage mode
  • While in standby, press the left or right side of the menu button to alter wattage
  • Press the left and right side of the menu button to lock/unlock the device

While vaping, the display switches to vape duration in 0.1 second intervals.

Using DVW Mode

  • When in DVW mode press the fire button and right side of menu button to enter the VW curve interface
  • Press the left or right side of the menu button to alter vape duration between 0.5 – 2.0 seconds. Hold the fire button to move to the next curve setting.

This is SMOANT’S version of Variable Power Curve (VPC) in that the vape can have various stages of power. A soft to hard vape, a hard vape that tapers off or a vape that’s consistent throughout.

The Pod Section

It’s a bit different from the run of the mill pod and dare I say, a little on the ugly side. But that’s for good reason. Airflow adjustability has been built into the top.

Airflow skips across and down a sealed channel in the pod then hits the heated coil from beneath.

SMOANT Knight 40 pod

The 3.5ml pod is made from the same tough PCTG as part of the battery section and although frosted, e-liquid is clearly visible within.

Unfortunately that’s not the case when inserted into the battery section.

The mouthpiece is fixed and measures around 7mm in diameter. Not exactly conducive to a MTL vape, in my opinion. We shall see..

SMOANT Knight 40 pod top down viewThe airflow slider is workable enough, especially when using a finger nail for finer adjustments.

Airflow slider on top of the SMOANT Knight 40 podI did find the silicone stopper rather thin and awkward to remove, sitting directly beneath the airflow structure.

The underside of the pod is entirely magnetic, making for excellent connectivity with the battery section.

How To Change A Coil and Fill The Pod

It’s important to note that the SMOANT S4 coil comes installed – with the coil adaptor already fitted.

You will need to remove this for use with all replacement coils. Follow the steps below..

SMOANT S coil adaptor

  • Remove the pod from the battery section
  • Push the coil up inside the pod chamber ensuring a firm seal
  • Lift the silicone fill tab from the side of the pod
  • Gently pour e-liquid into the fill chamber making sure the level is above the cotton wicks
  • Filling the pod of the SMOANT KNIGHT 40 pod kitReplace the silicone fill tab ensuring a snug seal
  • Drop the pod back into the battery section

Let the E-liquid soak into the wicking ports for around five minutes prior to vaping.

How Does The SMOANT KNIGHT 40 Pod Kit Perform?

S4 0.35ohm mesh coil (Rated 30-35W)

The SMOANT ANT chip recognised the optimal setting as being 30W so that’s what I went with.

SMOANT S4 mesh coilThe e-liquid of choice was Black Rose Elixirs Carmilla, a Coffee beverage flavour set around a 50VG/50PG juice ratio with 20mg salt nicotine content.

Beginning with the airflow slot wide open I got a surprisingly powerful vape from the mesh coil and ramp up time was superb. The flavour pumped through as soon as the fire button was depressed.

This airflow setting created a semi restrictive lung hit and one I always favour. For a 50VG/50PG ratio, vapour production was around what I would expect. That’s to say I don’t recommend attempting to stealth vape with airflow wide open!

It’s by no means the quietest vape I’ve had from a pod kit but it’s still smooth and turbulence free.

The flavour was great. All the Coffee Liqueur notes were spilling from the exhale. There wasn’t quite enough power to do the spongey bakery elements enough justice and the cream was presented at around 50% its usual effectiveness.

But at this wattage I was more than satisfied with the resulting vape.

Further Airflow Restrictions

Adjusting the slider to mid position created that restrictive lung hit. It impressed me how little adjustment could make such a difference.

I did feel that the flavour was becoming a little muted, there being more sweetness to the beverage and less of the Coffee pulling through.

And a MTL vape is possible with even further restriction to the airflow. I don’t suggest closing it off entirely (although you can still vape) but allowing just a tickle of airflow.

You’ll need to be precise and patient but once found the option is there and it’s a decent vape. I got a good balance between flavour intensity and the sweeter aspect of the e-liquid.

70VG/30PG Blend

As much as I proved a 50VG/50PG ratio will work fine with the coil, it’s really better suited to thicker e-liquids because of the increased size of the wicking ports.

A 70VG/30PG blend is ideal. I wouldn’t suggest anything above this thickness, though.

When testing this ratio the flavour was just as good and you’ll obviously get more vapour production.

Extended inhales aren’t a problem for the coil and the additional heat (albeit limited) is most welcome, especially with bakery, spice or dessert based profiles.

S6 1.1ohm mesh coil (Rated 6-11W)

I used TEN TEN Red Berry Ice to test the MTL coil. It’s a 50VG/50PG juice ratio with 20mg salt nicotine already included. The SMOANT ANT chip suggested 10W as the optimal setting. Who am I to argue?

SMOANT S6 mesh coilThis may be a low powered coil but it still delivers a clout using the ANT chip recommended setting of 10W.

But with airflow wide open, you won’t get a very reliable MTL vape. It’s workable but it’s very loose.

Certainly not a comfortable experience and I found it more effective as a RDL vape.

The flavour was very good. The Menthol, Eucalyptus and Aniseed all pulled through nicely. Ok, not as intensely as the S4 coil for reasons of wattage constraints but I still thought this humble little chap was doing its utmost to please!

Further Airflow Restrictions

Adjusting the airflow slider to mid position made enough difference to push the inhale towards a half decent MTL vape. Still not exactly to my own preference but the Eucalyptus and Aniseed was beginning to leave more of a mark on the taste buds and lips.

The red berries were also more pronounced on this setting. Vapour production was good for that stealthy vape or four..

I closed the airflow right down to almost closed because the pod allows for such precise tuning. That’s where you’re going to find the best MTL vape. Because of the relatively wide bore of the mouthpiece I didn’t suffer the ‘stinging lips’ syndrome.

This left me to enjoy long, protracted vapes with plenty of flavour. It was a smooth, turbulence free draw and quiet enough for a few of those ‘bus stop’ moments.

Battery Performance and Charging

Using the 0.35ohm S4 coil I got 10.5 hours from a single battery charge. During this time I vaped around 7.5ml of E-liquid and notched up a total of 125 puffs.

The 1.1ohm S6 coil fared considerably better. I managed 27 hours of use, vaped 9ml of E-liquid and the number of puffs was 570.

However, fast Type C charging was a bit of a let down. It took 1 hour 45 minutes to revive an exhausted battery. The saving grace is that it’s possible to vape while charging.

I can’t say I noticed any degradation in performance as the battery level dropped. The flavour and vapour production was consistent throughout the life span of a charge.

Pros

  • Fast ramp up time with either coil
  • Great flavour from both coils
  • Smooth turbulence free vape
  • Versatile and effective airflow slider
  • Charging in a vertical position
  • Decent battery venting
  • No leaking
  • Light weight, slim and pocket friendly

Cons

  • The small screen may be difficult to read (subjective)
  • Unable to change screen colour (subjective to sample model)
  • Ineffective DVW mode.
  • Position of fire button (subjective)
  • Unable to view remaining juice levels
  • Silicone stopper can be difficult to use (subjective)
  • Type C charging isn’t very fast

Final Review Verdict

I think I’m more impressed with the S6 MTL coil. The reason I say that is primarily down to economy of use. I got a whacking 27 hours use from a single charge. With airflow wide open, I was still able to pull a RDL vape.

Not its true role, granted but a welcome bonus nonetheless..

But that was the beauty of the airflow slider. Although quite small and limited, any adjustment was instantly noticeable. Given the distance is has to travel I found that quite impressive.

SMOANT have pretty much nailed airflow adjustability with the Knight 40 pod kit.

The speed of ramp up particularly impressed me with these mesh coils. Power was instant and power was consistent throughout use. I put that down to the efficiency of the ANT chip.

DVW mode seemed like a wasted opportunity. Whenever I made adjustments to test it, the bar chart would simply reset itself every time.

Not sure what that’s all about but it may be an issue with the sample. As a consequence I didn’t notice any difference with the power of the vape.

It’s also mentioned in the instructions that a choice of five screen colours are available. The option appears to have been omitted with the review sample.

When all’s said and done, the SMOANT KNIGHT 40 pod kit delivers the goods on flavour and vapour production. It’s reliable, light weight and pocket friendly and the coils were much more efficient than I was expecting.

Just before I sign off. I can confirm that the SMOANT Santi coils are compatible.

..I’m using the S2 0.6ohm RDL coil right now!

So one for the Christmas list? It’s certainly worthy of consideration.

Sadly for me the original Vikii went way under my radar and we didn’t get to review it here either.

So I am unable to comment about how successful the original was. Let’s hope the Smoant Vikii Pro is a beauty! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

The Smoant Ant Bar Lafu Pod Kit is a new super simple device which should appeal to starter vapers and possibly those who like a Disposable Vape.

lafu banner

Smoant have been a big player in the vape scene for quite a while now and popular kits include the Pasito, Pasito 2, Ladon, Knight 80 and Charon range.

What To Expect From The Smoant Ant Bar Lafu Pod Kit…

As mentioned above this is designed to be a simple and cost effective pod kit. Also this device might catch the eye of those using disposable vapes – as this is re-usable but still easy to get to grips with.

lafu components

The reason this is so simple is the fact that the pods are pre-filled and are disposed of when the liquid chamber is empty. Another bonus to this style of pod is that you don’t have to faff about with changing coils or filling.lafu battery

Inside the body is a 500mAh rechargeable battery which is charged in 30-45 minutes using the included USB Type C cable.lafu charging

A breathing LED light is located on the base to display charge status and also ignites when vaping.lafu led

The pods have a 1.8ohm coil inside and come in a 2% Nicotine Salt strength.

The Smoant Charon Baby + Kit is an update to the Charon Baby Pod kit…

charon baby + banner

Smoant have a few versions of the Charon range including the Charon 218 TC Mod, Charon 218 TS and the Charon Mini 225W mod.

What To Expect From The Smoant Charon Baby + Kit…

The first thing that struck me about this kit – is that it is bigger than I was expecting – look at the photo below from the Smoant Facebook page…

charon baby + in hand

But when you read the specs the size isn’t really that surprising as this one is packing a 1000mAh battery which is a great size for a pod kit.charon baby + battery

Recharging is taken care of using the USB Type C port which you can charge at up to 1A charge rate. Smoant say you can charge this fully in 1 hour.

Output wise this will go up to 35W but it is not user controllable. Basically the “AI Smart ANT-Chip” senses the coil resistance and will adjust the output to suit.charon baby + chip

The side panels are magnetic and replaceable and I show the full range of panels available further down in this preview.charon baby + side panels

An LED indicator is provided to view the battery charge remaining.charon baby + LED

The pod has an airflow control lever too which is always welcome on a pod kit!charon baby + airflow

This uses the Santi S-Coil range which is compatible with the Santi kit.

You get the S-2 mesh 0.6ohm coil included in the kit but you can also purchase the S-1 0.4ohm Mesh or S-3 1.2ohm Mesh too.charon baby + coils

The coils are removable and replaceable plus the pod is held into the device magnetically.pod

You can refill the pod with up to 3ml of your own e-liquid via the side fill port. I have not seen a mention of a 2ml TPD Compliant version as yet.charon baby + filling

There are 6 base styles to choose from: Black Hannya, Black Tiger, Gunmetal Lion, Gunmetal Pan, Space Silver Yawata and Space Silver Dragon.

Plus you can customise this with the extra replaceable panels available…charon baby +panels

The Smoant Veer Pod Kit is a new pod kit which seems to be targeting the Caliburn market.

veer banner

Smoant of course are no strangers to a pod mod – with releases such as the Santi Kit, Pasito II, Pasito 1, and Knight 80 in their back catalogue.

What To Expect From The Smoant Veer Pod Kit…

As you can see the Veer has a more than slight resemblance to the Caliburn G – but this isn’t a bad thing as that is a very popular device.

Smoant Veer Pod Kit components

Also like the Caliburn G this has replaceable coils – rather than a disposable refillable pod.Smoant Veer Pod Kit design

Even better than replaceable coils – are coils which are also compatible with other devices. The Veer uses the Smoant Baby Series of coils which are also used in the Battlestar Baby and Charon Baby kits.veer coils

Included in the kit are 2 coils which are wicked with Organic cotton:

  • 0.6ohm Mesh
  • 1.2ohm Ni80

The pod is refillable with up to 2.3ml of your own e-liquid via the pod side fill port.Smoant Veer Pod Kit pod

By rotating the pod you have 2 airflow choices of a wider open (Direct To Lung – DTL) or more restricted (Mouth To Lung – MTL). We tell you what MTL and DTL mean in our Guide to Vape Styles.veer airflow

Inside the mod you have a 750mAh internal battery which is recharged via the USB Type C port at up to 2A charge rate.Smoant Veer Pod Kit sm shots

The output is specified as 10 / 15W – so I assume the mod automatically detects which coil is being used and selects the 10W for the 1.2ohm coil and 15W for the 0.6ohm.

An LED indicator is also provided to inform of battery capacity remaining.veer led

There are 4 colour options to choose from: Saffron, Dark Green, Dark Black and Purple.

The Smoant Santi Kit is a Pod Kit from the brand who also gave us the wonderful Pasito and Knight 80 pods.

Smoant Santi Kit

For those suffering from “Pod Fatigue” I will quickly run down the features of this kit for you!

What To Expect From The Smoant Santi Kit?

Inside the mod is a 1100mAh battery which is charged via the USB Type C cable – but the charging rate / time are not specified.Smoant Santi Kit battery

The output is adjustable from 1-40W and you can view your vaping data on the colour 0.96in TFT Screen. You can also change the screen theme colours.Smoant Santi Kit screen

Controlling the device is the upgraded ANT chip which is similar to that found in the Knight 80 and Pasito kits.Smoant Santi Kit ant chip

The mod body is made from Zinc Alloy and PCTG plastic which Smoant say is wear resistant and fingerprint proof.santi design

An airflow adjustment slide switch is located on the side to adjust the airflow to your preference.santi airflow

The pod is removable and is refillable via the side fill port with up to 3.5ml (or 2ml in TPD regulated areas) of your own e-liquid.Smoant Santi Kit pod

A new range of coils has been created for this kit. The mesh coils use an ERNiCrMo metal – which is a Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum wire which apparently gives purer flavour and longer coil life.santi mesh

  • S-1 DL (Direct Lung) – 0.4ohm Mesh
  • S-2 RDL (Restricted Direct To Lung) – 0.6ohm Mesh (included in kit)
  • S-3 MTL (Mouth To Lung) – 1.2ohm Mesh
  • S-RBA (DL, RDL / MTL) – you build this with your own coil to suit your vaping style.

The Smoant Pasito II Pod Kit is the update to the original Pasito kit.

I reviewed the original Pasito and found it to be a lovely kit – so how have Smoant updated it?

What Is New On The Smoant Pasito II Pod Kit?

The Pasito 2 has had a lot of updates and it is now a real grown up pod kit full of features.Smoant Pasito II components

Looking first at the device itself – this has an internal 2500mAh battery which is charged via the USB Type C port at a fast 2A rate.Smoant Pasito II battery

The output is higher too at 1-80W and you can choose from Variable Wattage, DVW (I assume “Dynamic” Variable Wattage?), Bypass, Temperature Control and TCR.

A 0.96in colour TFT screen is located on the side and the screen colour themes can be changed.Smoant Pasito II screen

The pod has changed too and now is compatible with 7 different coil types.pasito 2 coil options

Firstly the K range of coils which were found on the Smoant Knight 80 kit plus some new coils too:

  • K3 – 0.6ohm Mesh
  • K2 – 0.4ohm Dual Mesh
  • K-RBA – DIY RBA coil
  • K1 – 0.3ohm Mesh

Plus if you purchase the optional Pasito 2 adaptor you can use the coils from the original Pasito which include the 1.4ohm Ni80, 0.6ohm Mesh and the Pasito RBA.

The pod capacity has now increased to 6ml however this is still only going to be 2ml in TPD regulated areas.Smoant Pasito II pod

You can also purchase a 510 adaptor to allow any 510 atomiser to be used on the device – basically turning it into a box mod.pasito 2 510
