• Changes to the internal design and the sensor has been moved.
• Smok Vapor also added an internal backup prevention system.
• A silicone seal was added to the pods, which are now double sealed to prevent spills.
• The pod was adjusted to 1.3ohms.

Performance

With vaping, performance is the only way to judge the success of a device. The design and appearance are only superficial if they are not backed up with good performance.

The Mi-Pod is designed for both mouth to lung and direct to lung vaping crowds. The pod comes with silicone inserts that reduce the airflow when placed on the airflow channel. They change the draw enough for your to feel the change from DL to MTL.

However, the Mi-Pod does its best work as a restricted DL vaping device. When using it this way, you don't have to use silicone inserts. You just fill up the pod and vape. The 1.3ohm coil has fantastic delivery producing a surprising amount of vapour and capturing plenty of flavour.

You can use the device with various nicotine and nic salt concentration levels while being assured of a satisfying vape at all times.

The flavour produced by the device is better than most of the other pod systems in the market. It might take about half a pod to start getting the right kick, after which it stays at that good level for most of the pod’s lifespan.

The coil lasts for at least seven refills which gives you plenty of value. With proper maintenance, it’s good for a couple more if you use light, clear juices. The wicking properties are also commendable. It's incredibly hard to get a dry hit out of the Mi-Pod even when using 70% VG juices. It’s an impressive fete considering the coils are only 1.3ohms.

Battery life and charging

With the kind of performance the Mi-Pod puts out, you can expect the battery life to be compromised. But that's not the case. The 950mAh battery will last you a good two pods with one charge. It operates on a direct output which maximises on the power that gets to the coil.

The pod has an operational voltage range of between 3 – 4.2 volts. The 1.3-ohm redesigned coils get about 13.5 watts from the battery, which drops to about 7 watts when the battery is depleted.

To help you keep an eye on the battery charge, the device has three LED colours. The blue colour indicates the battery is between 4.2 and 3.7 volts. The purple colour indicates between the 3.7 and 3.4-volt range, and below that, the device will have a red colour.

The battery is superbly strong, allowing you to vape about one and a half pods before turning from blue to purple. For average vapers, that will easily last you a day.

If you're looking for a pod that straddles the line between MTL and DL vaping flawlessly, providing excellent performance on both ends, the Mi-Pod fits the bill. It is also an excellent device to consider for vapers that prioritise appearances. There's no device in the market at the moment the edges the Mi-Pod in terms of appearance and sheer diversity of finishes and elegance.
