Vapefly are one of those companies who are quite quiet but knock out some excellent gear such as the Brunhilde, Kriemhild and Galaxies ranges.

What To Expect From The Vapefly Tim Pod…

This does of course look like the majority of pod kits on the market, so what can we expect?

Inside you get a 1100mAh battery which can be charged within 40 minutes due to the USB Type C charging port.

The output is specified as 30W maximum or a massive 6V! This is due to the “step up” circuit board which boosts the output to prevent the power dropping when the battery charge is low. This has variable wattage output so you can tailor this to match the coil installed.

You can also adjust the output and you will see your vaping data on the screen – the size and type of screen are not specified.

Another great feature is the airflow slider on the side which allows you to adjust the incoming airflow to your preference.

Either use the fire button or the auto draw system to fire, plus you can lock the button.

This uses replaceable coils with 4 options – 0.6ohm (included in kit), 0.8ohm (included in kit), plus 1ohm and 1.2ohm coils which are available separately.

A side refill port is provided and the pod can hold up to 4ml of your own e-liquid. I have not seen any mention of a 2ml version for TPD Regulated areas.

Here is an introduction video from the Vapefly Website.

There are 5 colours to choose from: Red & Black, Yellow & Black, Black, Gunmetal and Silver

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Tim Pod device

Vapefly stormed onto the scene in 2017 and really knocked out some excellent vape gear including the Galaxies MTL RTA, Brunhilde RTA and Kriemhild Sub Ohm Tank.

What To Expect From The Vapefly Alberich II MTL RTA…

This is a RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomiser) and the MTL in the title refers to “Mouth To Lung” which is a vaping style preferred often by ex-smokers due to the ability to have a restricted airflow and higher nicotine strengths.

As mentioned above this version is an update to the original Alberich MTL RTA and improvements have been made in capacity and airflow design.

The basics are that this is for single coil builds and you get 2x 1ohm coils in the kit and even Firebolt Cotton to get you started.

Incoming airflow enters in the top of the atomiser, which helps prevent leaking. Bottom airflow atomisers can often have e-liquid seeping out of the airflow inlets.

The airflow then travels down to the deck through the airflow pin to the coil.

There are 6 airflow pins included in the kit and each has a different diameter air hole, so you can replace the pin to reduce or increase the airflow to suit your preference. You can even change the airflow pin without removing the coil.

A quarter turn screw off top cap gives access to the fill port.

This has a 4ml capacity, I have not seen a 2ml version for TPD regulated areas mentioned as yet.

Here is a brief introduction video from the Vapefly_Official YouTube channel.

There are 3 colours to choose from: Silver, Black and Gunmetal.

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Alberich II MTL RTA
• 4ml glass
• 1ohm KA1 pre-built coil
• 1ohm Ni80 pre-built coil
• 2x Firebolt Cotton
• 6x airflow pins
• 4x screws
• O-rings
• User manual

Vapefly Alberich II MTL RTA Specs

• Size: 23×59.6mm
• Capacity: 4ml
• Single coil deck
• 510 drip tip
• Top airflow inlet
• Replaceable airflow outlet pins – 6 different diameter pins included in kit
• Can replace airflow pins without removing coil
• Top refill

The top airflow system should drastically help reduce chances of leaking so this looks to be a great upgrade.

Vapefly have really given us some excellent vape gear! Initially they got attention for their RBA’s such as the Galaxies, Holic and Horus. They continued their success with the Brunhilde and Kriemhild ranges.

What To Expect From The Vapefly Jester II Pod Kit…

The original Jester pod kit really caught everyone’s attention as it was one of the very few pod kits to offer a rebuildable deck.

Sadly this version is not so ground-breaking and reverts to a simple to use standard pod kit.

Pod wise these are fixed coil, refillable pods which will hold up to 3ml of your own e-liquid. I have not seen a 2ml version mentioned for TPD regulated areas.

A side mounted fill port is provided for refilling. Once the coil performance has deteriorated you dispose of the pod section and replace with a new one.

There are 4 pod options available which cater to different vaping styles:

• 0.6ohm (suitable for RDL – Restricted Direct Lung vapers)
• 0.8ohm (suitable for RDL)
• 1ohm – included in kit (suitable for MTL – Mouth To Lung vapers)
• 1.2ohm (suitable for MTL)

Inside the device is a 1000mAh battery which is charged via the USB Type C port at a 1A charge rate.

An LED indicator is provided which will change colour to inform of the battery charge remaining.

The output is not specified but the device will automatically adjust the output to suit the pod installed.

An airflow adjustment slider is provided to create the airflow restriction to suit you and the pod installed.

To keep things mega simple this has an auto draw activation – just inhale on the mouthpiece to fire.

Here is an introduction video from the Vapefly_Official YouTube channel.

There are 5 colours to choose from: Black, Black & Red, Green, Gunmetal and Silver.

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Jester II device
• 1ohm pod
• User manual

Vapefly Jester II Pod Kit Specs

• Size: 824×15.6x110mm
• Output: Not specified
• Battery: 1000mAh (internal)
• Display: LED indicator
• Resistance range: Not specified
• USB Type C port – 1A charge rate
• Pods: Refillable fixed coil pods
• Compatibility – 4 Jester II pod options – 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm, 1ohm and 1.2ohm
• Capacity: 3ml
• Adjustable airflow
• Auto draw activation
• 3S chipset

I am slightly gutted that the innovation of the original Jester pod has been ditched and simplicity prioritised instead. But to be fair nowadays there are far more pod kits with rebuildable options than there were when the original was released.

So far the range of user friendly pod kits has included the original Manners and the Manners 2. So what does the Manners R have to offer?

What To Expect From The Vapefly Manners R Pod…

As you can see this is still a pod kit but with a tube style.

The main component is the mod or battery section and this has a whopping 1000mAh battery inside.

You charge this via the USB Type C port and Vapefly state this can be fully charged in 1 hour.

Also an LED indicator informs you of the battery charge status.

This is super simple to use and you can either press the fire button or just inhale to trigger the firing system.

Another great feature is the slide switch on the side to adjust the incoming airflow to suit your preference. Apparently this offers MTL (Mouth to Lung) and RDL (Restricted Direct to Lung) options. We tell you what these terms mean in our Guide To Vape Styles.

The pod is where your e-liquid and heating element (coil) live.

You cannot change the coils – to make life easier you simply dispose of the pod section when the coil performance has deteriorated.

Included in the kit is the 0.6ohm pod but you can also purchase 0.8ohm, 1ohm and 1.2ohm versions. The device will adjust the power output to suit the pod installed.

The pods have a mesh coil structure with organic cotton wicking and apparently are leak-proof too.

A side refill port is provided which allows you to fill the pod with up to 3ml of your own e-liquid. I have not seen a 2ml version for TPD regulated areas mentioned as of yet.

Here is a tutorial video from the Vapefly_ Official YouTube channel.

There are 6 colours to choose from: Gunmetal, Azure Blue, Green & Silver, Blue & Silver, Black and Black & Red.

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Manners R Pod device
• 0.6ohm pod
• User manual

Vapefly Manners R Pod Specs

• Size: 114×21.7mm
• Output: 0.6ohm coil = 22W / 0.8ohm coil = 16W / 1ohm coil = 13W / 1.2ohm coil = 11W
• Battery: 1000mAh (internal)
• Display: LED
• Resistance range: Not specified
• USB Type C port – 1A charge rate – 1 hour charge time
• Pods: Refillable, fixed coils – 4 resistance options
• Auto draw or manual (button) fire
• Capacity: 3ml
• Side refill
• Adjustable airflow – slide control
• 3S chipset

The Vapefly Manners R Pod kit looks to be a great simple to use set-up with some added extras!

The post Vapefly Manners R Pod Preview – Vaping Etiquette? appeared first on Ecigclick.

So far we have had the Brunhilde RTA, Brunhilde MTL RTA and the Brunhilde SBS 100W Kit.

The name “Brunhilde” apparently refers to a “strong and beautiful princess who was cruelly deceived by her lover” oooh!

What To Expect From The Vapefly Brunhilde 1o3 RTA?

Vapefly say this is an upgrade to the original Brunhilde RTA and have made improvements according to user’s feedback. I like the sound of this already!

So let’s look through what has been changed…

• This is now suitable for single or dual coil builds (the original was dual coil only).
• Like the original this is more like a RDTA (Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomiser) where the deck sits above the e-liquid to give a purer flavour straight to the drip tip.
• The airflow has been redesigned – you have a top adjustable honeycomb airflow inlet.
• On the deck the airflow outlets can be replaced. There are two included in the kit – a slot airflow or multi hole airflow slots.
• Filling is via a spring loaded port on the side of the tank. Which apparently will help prevent leaks from the fill port – I am not sure if this was a problem on the original.
• The Stainless Steel wicking wires which carry the e-liquid from the tank section up to the deck have increased from 4 to 6. You can still build using 4 wires if you want and close off the two holes where they should be with screws.
• Capacity has dropped from 8ml for the original to 7ml for this version.
• The 1o3 version is slightly taller – about 4mm.

Here is an introduction video from Vapefly…

There are 3 colours to choose from: Black, Gunmetal and Silver.

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Brunhilde 1o3 RTA
• 7ml glass tube
• 2x Firebolt cotton
• 2x 0.35ohm Pre-built coils
• Screwdrivers (L-Shape and T-Shape)
• 4x Allen head screws
• 2x screws
• Airflow Slot
• 4x Stainless Steel wires
• O-rings
• User manual

Vapefly Brunhilde 1o3 RTA Specs

• Size: 25.2×69.9mm
• Capacity: 7ml
• Single or dual coil build deck
• Adjustable side airflow
• Replaceable deck airflow outlets (2 included)
• Spring loaded side refill port
• Easy to replace shield and airflow ring
• Stainless steel wire wicking – 4 or 6 wires

So there have been a lot of updates so fingers crossed with the help of their customers this should be a huge improvement.

This brand whilst still being relatively new has really made a good reputation for itself with some great stuff including the Brunhilde SBS Kit, Galaxies MTL Kit, Siegfried Kit and Optima Pod Kit.

What To Expect From The Vapefly Lindwurm RTA?

Where Vapefly seem to excel is in the rebuildable category producing some great gear.

And the Lindwurm is a RTA so should be another of their excellent rebuildables!

By the way – “Lindwurm” was a popular icon which is basically a “Dragon without wings”…

This is designed for single wire coil builds and has a simple 2 clamp coil deck system.

The airflow has 2 inlets on the side and bottom – both are adjustable.

Plus you have removable airflow pins to further tailor the incoming airflow – they range from 0.9mm to 2.5mm airflow pins and they are all included in the kit. These pins are also compatible with the Brunhilde MTL RTA.

From the inlets the airflow travels to the bottom and the sides of the coil so that the air surrounds the coil.

The capacity is stated as 5ml and the top cap is removable to access the top fill port.

A shield covers the tank glass which should offer protection against damage.

Here is an introduction video from Vapefly…

There are 3 colours to choose from: Silver, Black and Gunmetal.

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Lindwurm RTA
• 5ml glass tube
• 2x Firebolt cotton
• 2x 0.3ohm Pre-built KA1 coils
• Screwdriver
• 3x Allen head screws
• 5x Airflow screws
• 510 drip tip adaptor
• O-rings

Vapefly Lindwurm RTA Specs

• Size: 25×59.1mm
• Capacity: 5ml
• Single coil build deck
• Adjustable side and bottom airflow
• 5x airflow screws included – compatible with Brunhilde MTL RTA
• 810 drip tip
• 510 drip tip adaptor included
• Top fill

Yes this looks a great RTA with so many airflow options – should please most vapers!

Since the brand started in 2017 they have provided us with some lovely vape stuff including the Galaxies MTL Kit, Brunhilde SBS Kit, Optima Pod Mod and Siegfried Kit.

What To Expect From The Vapefly Alberich MTL RTA?

The brand have a reputation of giving us some great MTL tanks such as the original Galaxies MTL RTA which had a lot of fans.

The Alberich is another rebuildable which caters for Mouth To Lung (MTL) vapers. This vape style requires a tighter and more precise airflow system and is usually designed for higher PG e-liquids.

If these terms are making you scratch your head read our guides to MTL / DTL Vape Styles and VG Vs PG In E-liquid.

Oh and the name “Alberich” is apparently a German fictional character whose name means “ruler of supernatural beings (Elves)”.

Anyway down to business! The Alberich has a single coil deck which has 4 clamp screws so you can add coils wound in either direction.

Seeing as the kit includes a 0.8ohm Kanthal coil and the Firebolt cotton strips you should be up and running quite quickly.

The bottom airflow inlet is fixed but you adjust the airflow by changing the internal Airflow pin.

There are 6 airflow pins included in the kit and the airflow hole size ranges from 0.8mm up to 2.5mm. The smaller the hole the more restricted the airflow. You install the airflow pin into the 510 connection.

The air enters at the bottom airflow inlet and travels straight up to the bottom of the coil.

Capacity wise there are a few options but I have not seen any mention of a 2ml TPD compliant version as yet – so fingers crossed there will be one for us UK vapers!

Included in the kit are the 3ml and 4ml PEI amber tubes, but you can purchase clear glass versions separately.

Filling is via the top fill screw off cap to reveal the fill ports which have a gasket to help prevent leaks if the tank is upside down.

Here is an introduction video from the Vapefly website.

There are 3 colours to choose from: Stainless Steel, Black or Gunmetal.

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Alberich MTL RTA
• 4ml PEI tube
• Adaptor
• 0.8ohm KA1 Pre-built coil
• 2x Firebolt cotton
• 5x airflow pins
• 4x screws / O-rings
• User Manual

Vapefly Alberich MTL RTA Specs

• Size: 22×53.4
• Capacity: 3ml / 4ml
• Single coil build deck
• 510 drip tip
• 6 airflow pins – 0.8-2.5mm
• Bottom airflow inlet
• Top fill

If this RTA is as good as previous Vapefly MTL offerings this will be a beauty!

Sadly we did not receive the original version for review – but Vapefly have been excellent in the MTL market with the Galaxies range and the Manners pod kits.

What To Expect From The Vapefly Nicolas 2 MTL Tank?

As I have not seen the original version of this tank it will be difficult to do a comparison but I will try!

The Nicolas 2 has 2 versions “G” (or “Glass” – similar to the Nicolas 1) and the “S” (for “Steel”? “Shield”? or something like that?). The image below explains it better!

Similar to the original this version has a screw off top cap to access the fill port. The tank will hold up to 2ml of your own e-liquid.

This uses a new range of Freecore N series Mesh coil heads – you get the 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm included. Plus this is compatible with the Nicolas 1 BVC (0.6ohm & 1.8ohm) coils plus the 0.5ohm Mesh from the Galaxies starter kit.

Coil changing is easy with a simple push and pull coil installation.

As this is designed for MTL (Mouth To Lung) vapers the airflow will be tighter with a precision adjustment system. We tell you more about this is our Guide To Vaping Styles.

This is provided by the airflow inlets on the base of the tank. There are 5 inlets all ranging in size and you can open or close these to your preference by rotating the airflow control ring.

Here is an introduction video from the Vapefly website.

There are 4 colours to choose from in 2 ranges “G” or “S”: Black, Rainbow, Silver and Gunmetal.

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Nicolas 2 MTL Tank (“S” or “G” version)
• FreeCore 0.8ohm Mesh coil
• FreeCore 1.2ohm Mesh coil
• 510 long drip tip
• Spare glass
• Accessories bag
• User Manual

Vapefly Nicolas 2 MTL Tank Specs

• Size: 49.7×22.2mm (including drip tip)
• Capacity: 2ml
• Coils: FreeCore 0.8ohm, 1.2ohm plus Nicolas 1 tank / Galaxies starter kit coils compatible
• 510 drip tip – long and short tips included
• Adjustable 5 level bottom airflow
• Screw top cap refilling
• Pull out / push in coil replacement

This looks to be a great looking MTL tank with plenty of coil options! I like the look of this a lot!

In fact, I think the only Vapefly device I have used is the 200W Kriemhild mod that I reviewed last year.

Since the brands launch in 2017, Vapefly has built up a pretty solid reputation with a loyal customer base.

As I write this review, its catalogue consists of:

• 13 atomisers
• 2 mods
• 4 pods
• 6 kits

Vapefly also has 2 DIY tool kits, prebuilt coils and 4 different brands of cotton.

Before we go on, Kriemhild is pronounced ‘Kreem-hilt’ and from past reviews, I know that Kriemhild was a beautiful heroine in the Germanic saga the Nibelungenlied, where she is the sister of Günther and the wife of Siegfried.

What Can We Expect From The Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Kit?

The Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Kit comprises of the Kriemhild 80W Box Mod and the Gunther Sub Ohm Tank.

Strangely the mod has a “Security Alarm System”… Yes, we’ll get to that, but it’s probably not what you expect.

It’s a single battery system that takes 21700 and 20700 batteries, but it also comes with a 18650 adapter.

The kit takes a USB-C for charging, however I don’t know the rate because it doesn’t mention the rate on their website, and they like to leave the manual out of reviewers packs.

That’s no drama though, we’ll work it out later on.

As it’s name suggests it has a max power of 80W but it also has a bypass mode.

The Kriemhild 80W Box Mod also has a 0.49″ OLED screen and a 510 connection.

The Gunther Sub Ohm Tank can be bought separately.

It has top to bottom airflow, top filling, uses push pull coils and is compatible with the RMC (Rebuildable mesh coil).

Inside the Box

• 1x Kriemhild 80W Box Mod
• 1x Gunther Sub Ohm Tank
• 1x 0.2ohm Duplex Mesh Coil
• 1x 0.3ohm Mesh Coil
• 1x 510 adapter
• 1x Straight Glass Tube 3.5ml

• 810 drip tip (510 adaptor included)

Design and Build Quality

The Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Kit comes in 4 different colours, as you may have noticed mine is Silver.

I think they all look pretty stylish and classy. I also noticed that each colour has a tank to match, which might sound obvious but it isn’t always the case.

The base shape of the device is an oblong oval, which makes for quite a comfortable grip. However I can’t mention the comfortable grip without mentioning the cold touch. Because of the metal body of the mod it can be quite cold on first touch.

At it’s thickest width the mod is 30mm wide and at the thinnest it is 25mm (excluding the front part). I excluded the front part because the mod is very much designed line a C-Mod but it’s not. The outer metal seems to be wrapped around the center part of the mod.

The body is a brushed metal effect and is fairly smooth. With a plaque, parallel on either side with the Kriemhild branding.

Vapefly Kriemhild 80W 510 Connection

In this pod mad world is hard to remember what a 510 connection is, but luckily the Kriemhild 80W mod has one!

Fancy that, a mod with a universal connector…

The 510 is placed to one side, the thicker side.

Secured by 3 torx screws, the connection plate goes across nearly the entire thick side of the mod, which is great.

Not only does it protect the mod from a tank scratching it, but larger connection plate tend to be more secure.

Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Screen

The Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Kit has a 0.49″ OLED screen.

It’s small, it’s discreet and it’s basic.

Placed on the top of the mod, the screen blends into the mod quite well, when it’s turned off. I thought it has a shiny silver, a bit like a one way mirror. But at closer inspection, the silver property is quite low, making it a very shiny but dark grey.

When lit up, the screen is easy to see.

The screen is divided horizontally by a line. Above the line is the battery indicator, displayed as a bar with no percentage and the power setting.

Below the line is the coils resistance reading and the output voltage.

Before we move on, I’d like to emphasise how unhappy I am with the battery indicator.

I personally like a percentage so I have a better idea how how much battery is left. However, the battery indicator on the Kriemhild doesn’t even have staging, it’s just a continuous bar.

I should mention that the screen does display a percentage while it is charging.

The Buttons

There are 3 buttons on the Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Kit, all of which are down the front on the device.

The fire button is towards the top, despite although it looks like plastic, it is actually metal, or it at least has a metal coating.

This button is a decent size. It measures at 10x15mm and it has horizontal lines, which is just one of those small details that make a big difference.

The Up and Down buttons are towards the bottom, just above the USB-C port. They are individual buttons with the Up placed 6.5mm above the down. They measure at 7x7mm and have lines forming arrows.

None of the buttons rattle and they’re all nice to press (not too hard or loose).

Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Battery Cap – The Mod Base

On the mod Vapefly Kriemhild 80W base, there is 3 screws holding the device together and the screw on battery cap.

The design of the battery cap isn’t a new concept, I’ve seen it many times an I quite like it.

It’s simply a round cap, with threads on the outer edge.

There is a handle that lifts out of the cap, as well as a ‘line’ indented, both are ways to unscrew the cap.

My first gripe about the Kriemhild’s cap, is the handle. Obviously the intention of the design is, you use the handle to unscrew the cap, but it it is stiff you can use something like a screwdriver or coin.

However the handle clips in quite tightly, this makes it nigh-on-impossible to lift the handle for a nail biter like me. But it was even a struggle for my partner, who has lovely healthy nails.

Gunther Sub Ohm Tank Design & Build Quality

The Gunther has all the features you’d expect a tank to have in this day and age.

Adjustable top to bottom airflow, bottom push pull coils and top airflow.

The kit came with 2 glasses for the Gunther tank. The bubble glass (5ml), which was pre-installed and the straight glass (3.5ml).

Mouth Piece

The Gunther has an 810 mouth piece, of which the O-ring is inside the port.

This means it’s interchangeable, with almost any 810 mouth piece, which is ideal!

That being said I do quite like the mouth piece that comes with the kit. The mouth piece arches inward, which is quite comfortable on the lips.

More than that, it’s flush to the top cap, almost. As I said, it’s these little details that make a big difference, and that little details does wonders to the style.

Let’s not forget that the kit also comes with a metal 510 adapter.

Topfill and Top Cap

Notches in the top of the top cap reminds me of a carousel…

However they are extremely useful in helping you to grip and remove it.

The Gunther’s Top Cap can be removed by a quarter turn anti-clockwise. It’s not loose, but it’s certainly not too tight, I’d say it’s just right.

There is a silicone seal on the underside of the top cap, which I always think is imperative to fully prevent leaking.

Vapefly went a bit further than that though!

There is another seal inside the fill port! Complete with thin slits, I like these kinds of seals as it prevents you it leaking and from over filling.

I suppose you could argue that it makes it more fiddly but I like it.

Additionally, the seal on the fill-port can be removed which is beneficial when it comes to cleaning it.

Adjustable Airflow

The adjustable airflow ring is just below the top cap.

The ring is only 6 mm high and has the Gunter Branding on either side.

There is also 2 sets of holes, one on each side. The sets of holes each consist of, 4 slits and 2 circular holes. Which is quite unique for an airflow inlet design.

With just a quarter turn, the airflow is fully on or fully off but it can be set anywhere in between.

There isn’t any beveling or any other form of grip on the airflow ring, but it’s tension is fair decent.

It’s easy to rotate, but not so loose that it should ever move on it’s own accord.

The Base

With a similar style to the top cap the base has grooves which makes it easy to grip.

Now, the base is usually not worth mentioning, but I do want to show you the inside.

However the inside of the base is filleted, quite a lot too, which is quite interesting because it has been long since agreed that this type of edging inside the top cap of a RDA/RTA can drastically improve flavour production.

So I wonder if this has been done to improve flavour, or is it is just a style feature.

Using Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Kit

Filling The Tank

There is a “min” line on the tank, be sure to not let the liquid go below that line to prolong the coil life and reduce dry burns.

• While holding the tank/kit upright Rotate anti-clockwise, then lift the top cap
• Push the nozzle, of your e-liquid bottle, through the slit on the fill hole cover and fill the tank
• Reapply the top cap and lock it by turning it clockwise, until it stops turning
• Allow 5 minutes before using to allow the liquid to soak into the coil

Changing the coil

• Take the Tank off the mod
• Twist and remove the tanks base
• Pull the old coil out from the bottom of the tank
• Push a new coil in. Press firmly and make sure the bottom Oring is inside the coil port.
• Reapply the base, and fill the tank

Don’t forget to leave the e-liquid to soak in for 5 minutes.

Kriemhild 80W Mod Operations

Vapefly didn’t send me the manual, so If I miss something, that’s why.

Everything below is what I have found from experimenting.

• Turn on/off = Press fire button 5 times
• Change Power Setting = Press +/- buttons accordingly (hold to go through faster)
• Change between bypass/adjustable power mode = Press fire button 3 times, see screen for current setting
• Flip Screen = Press fire and + simultaneously
• Turn screen off/on = Press fire and – simultaneously
• Lock the +/- buttons = Press + and – simultaneously (this does not disable the fire button)

Bypass mode fires with full power (voltage) of the battery, while (I presume) keeping the safety features to protect the battery.

How Does The Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Kit Perform?

0.2ohm Duplex Mesh Coil

The 0.2ohm Duplex Mesh Coil came pre-installed in the kit.

I filled up and left it on the kitchen side to soak into the coil.

1 hour later I went to start using the vape and noticed the tank was only half full. How strange.

I removed the base to let all the liquid train, I check the coil was inserted properly and all the O-rings were intact. They were, so I put it back together and left it for another hour.

This time the tank was fully empty.

Thanks to the top to bottom airflow, none of the liquid left the tank until the tank was tipped the the side.

I drained the e liquid, topped it up and had a 2 puffs, after I could taste burning, I wrote the coil off.

It should be noted that I used two different e-liquids one from Twelve Monkeys (90VG/10PG) and one from Dinner Lady (70VG/30PG).

This is a hard predicament to be in. On one hand I know that it was probably just one in a thousand coils that were faulty. But on the other hand the rule of thumb is “Review what you have”, “Write What you experience”, so this will be a tricky one to score.

I’ll comment on my decision and reasoning in the score comments at the bottom of the review.

0.3ohm Mesh Coil

This coil is recommended to be used at 40-55W.

I went back to my Twelve Monkeys Tropika, which is a 70VG/30PG e-liquid that I’d made up to 3mg.

It took a while for the flavours to fully come through but they did and here’s how it performs.

At the minimum recommended wattage, 40W produces a lovely prominent flavour. The exotic fruit blend explodes in your mouth. While the vapour is very smooth, fluffy and plentiful. Although it doesn’t feel it on the way in or out, the vapour production is quite a lot.

Half way through the recommend range, at 47.5W the flavour doesn’t change too much but the vapour does get a bit thicker.

55W is the maximum recommended and the flavour is really prominent her, it almost floods the mouth and the vapour is plentiful.

…Dry vapour, its an oxymoron, but I’m sure some of you will know what I mean.

You don’t get it straight away but after vaping on it for a short while your mouth and thought starts to feel dry.

Again this is going to be hard to rate.

50PG/50VG E-liquids

There were times with the 90VG/10PG Twelve monkeys that there were little too much e-liquid inside the airflow, you could feel it gargling.

That and the leaking of the other coil, prompted me not to try this kit with 50VG/50PG liquids, as a rule of thumb you shouldn’t really use 50/50s on sub-ohm kits anyway, but this is certainly one that I don’t trust to handle the thinner juicers.

Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Menus & Operation

It turns out that the Vapefly Kriemhild 80W mod doesn’t have a menu. In fact it is super basic and simple to use.

All the essential features are built into the button ‘shortcuts’.

Come to think about it if they wanted to add more they’d probably need to add a bigger screen. I think a menu system on a 0.49″ screen would be a nightmare.

Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Battery Life & Charging

Vapefly say the Kriemhild 80W Kit has ‘fast charging’ but I can’t really find any specs for the charge rate, so we had to find out the old fashioned way.

I charged a 2,500 battery twice with a 2A plug (a different plug and plug socket each time). Each time took roughly 100 minutes (1hour 40 min).

That suggests that the kit has a 1.5A charge rating.

In regards to how long it will take to charge depends soley on the battery that you use. How long it will last for depends on the battery and the power you are using it.

If you use a 3,000mAh battery, it will take the kit 2 hours to charge it.

If you then use that kit at 55W, the battery will last for 242 x 3 second puffs. Which is about 8 hours worth of having a puff every other minute.

Airflow On The Gunther Tank

The airflow is fairly generous.

While the airflow is fully turned off it creates a restrictive Direct To Lung.

So there’s not a lot of airflow but still too much to create a restrictive Mouth To Lung Experience (which I mention because of the 510 adapter).

With the airflow fully open it’s pretty restriction free. So it’s a decent variety for a DTL tank.

Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Security Alarm System

Get ready for a rant.

On Vapefly’s website page for this kit this is the picture:

Now, the words “Security Alarm”, suggests to me that it is some sort of anti-theft system.

It then goes on to say “Safest Mod Ever”… now to me a safe mod, is electronically safe.

But if you say it has a security alarm, I automatically think it’s the safest, in the same way that the Crown Jewels are the safest jewellery ever.

You’ll probably be as disappointed as me when you realise that it actually means “Safety Alarm”, it has nothing to do with security… at all.

That’s right the beeping will only occur when the mod detects a short circuit, overheating, over 10 second of firing or the battery is fully charged.

All of the pre-mentioned have the same ‘alarm’ in which the mod “buzzes 5 times, 3 beeps a time”. Except from the battery fully charged which “buzzes 1 time, 3 beeps a time”.

Maybe I didn’t read that properly, but to me the word “buzzes” suggests it vibrates, it doesn’t. It’s actually 5 sets of 3 beeps – beep beep beep, pause, beep beep beep).

The beeps aren’t that loud either, but I suppose i’m being picky now. Think of an old dirt cheap alarm, that wouldn’t really wake you up… Okay I suppose it’s satisfactory, let’s get back the the point.

“The safest mod ever”, is it though? Maybe “Most novelty safety feature ever” would be a better fit, in my opinion.

The only feature that is added, is a beep.

All the other devices cut off just the same, then the screen tells you what’s wrong (which this also does).

The only scenario I can think of, in which this feature would make it safer, is if it starts auto-firing while you’re in bed.

Which has happened to me before and in that case, the auto fire would kick in, then a few minutes later it would start firing again until the cotton was dry then until the cotton was on fire. (I suggest you turn all mods off while you sleep).

However, I doubt the alarm would walk me up, it’s really not that loud.

Oh, and there is the full battery, that’s handy.

It wouldn’t really prevent you from burning the coil out in your pocket.

If you have a coil set to it’s max recommended wattage and you pocket fire for 10 seconds without drawing, that coil is very likely burnt.

Pros

• Durable Kit
• Takes External 21700s (20700 and 18650s)
• Easy To Use
• Decent Flavour
• Big Cloud Producer

Cons

• Faulty Coil
• Battery Cap isn’t the easiest to use
• Vapour can have dry sensation

Final Verdict

This is a hard one, because it’s very nearly an awesome vape, but there is little bits that just take that away.

In summary, the Vapefly Kriemhild 80W Kit is a great sub-ohm starter kit that has an up market look and feel about it.

I’m not going to punish Vapefly too much for the – what I presume is a – faulty coil, Because I don’t think that’s fair.

However, due to how the rating system works it will definitely impact the score. But there is other little bits like the ‘dry’ vapour from the duff other coil.

I should also add that I know people that have got the kit and they all like it. Some have said they had a leaking issue with the coil that was built in but most didn’t.

Even the screen and interface is super basic. Which can be a good thing but i highly dislike the lack of specific battery information.

The battery caps build/design quality makes an incredibly good battery cap, an annoying cap. Seriously if it wasn’t for the intentional tight hold, it would perfect.

The last thing I want to touch on if the “Security Alarm”, I think I was a bit harsh in it’s description. Mainly because of it’s miss-leading title, which is quite paramount when it’s one of the main selling points. It does indeed have it’s benefits, especially the fully charged alert.

If you’re looking for a simple, stylish sub-ohm kit this could be an interest to you.

It is a well built mod, and in all fairness, it is a pretty good mod.

However for me to buy it, the little annoying bits would have to be improved on.

Vapefly only really burst onto the scene after their brand was launched in 2017 and has success with the Galaxies MTL RTA, Core RTA, Kriemhild range and the Siegfried Kit.

What To Expect From The Vapefly Manners II Pod Kit?

As this is an update to a previous model it might be worth comparing how this version is different.

For a start the battery capacity has increased from 650mAh to 850mAh and this has USB Type C 1A charging which should fully charge in 1 hour.

The device is still controlled with the 3S chipset but you now have 3 output levels to choose from – 8W, 10W and 12W.

An LED indicator changes colour to inform of the battery charge remaining and power level selected.

Another improvement is the fact that you can now replace just the coil rather than discarding the whole pod.

This uses the FreeCore J-2 mesh and organic cotton range of coils and the 1ohm and 1.4ohm are included in the kit.

To make this super simple there are no buttons or adjustments, simply inhale on the mouthpiece to trigger the automatic draw firing feature.

Here is an introduction video from Vapefly…

There are 7 colour options to choose from: Black, Gunmetal, Silver, Pink, Peach Pink, Green Blue and Blue Red.

Kit Includes

• Vapefly Manners II device
• Pod
• FreeCore J-1 1ohm KA1 coil
• Freecore J-2 1.4ohm KA1 coil
• USB Type C cable
• User manual
