My purchase of the dotPod Nano POD system from the famous DotMod is an example of how the concept of quiet luxury can play a cruel joke with a weak advertising campaign.
This article is intended for people over 18 years of age who want to quit smoking!
I've seen this pod many times on display, and it didn't evoke any emotions at all. Especially since I've had experience with pods for which it was impossible to find cartridges, I had no desire to buy a new device that would then sit around. It's well known that in the Russian pod device market, where the;Vaporesso Xros и Voopoo Vthru, it's very difficult for a new device to break through.
The dotPod Nano is a quiet luxury item—it's unassuming in appearance, but its premium quality is only apparent when you pick it up and use it..
It's like comparing Loro Piana with its quiet luxury and Balenciaga with its products that challenge the norms of society.
The design of the box is very beautiful.
POD is designed in the USA and made in China.
The kit includes: documentation, a spare 0.8 Ohm cartridge, a USB Type C stub for charging and a lanyard.
A 1.0 Ohm cartridge is pre-installed in the pod itself.
The spare cartridge is carefully packed in a sealed container.
Even with a 0.8 Ohm cartridge, you get an MTL draw, which is what attracted me to this POD.
A USB stub might only be useful in emergency situations, but it might be useful to someone.
Lanyard has more of an advertising function than a practical one.
The POD itself is made just perfectly.
Interestingly, the edges are seamless, making it clear that the case is most likely stamped.
The front and back are covered in faux leather. It's tactilely pleasing. Over time, it even develops a patina, just like real leather.
There's an air intake hole on one side. The POD is a bit noisy. There's no whistling, but the airflow is quite loud.
On the bottom is a USB Type-C port for charging. Next to it is a multi-color LED that glows blue when in use, when fully charged, and turns red as it discharges. The battery capacity is 800 mAh, which is sufficient for me and most users.
There are two holes for the lanyard on the top of the device.
The cartridge's design ensures that it produces steam at a comfortable temperature, rather than scalding it. The cartridge holds 2 milliliters. This is sufficient for me, as I quickly get tired of one flavor, especially if it's sweet.
The photo shows an XROS cartridge (left) and a dotPod Nano. The dotPod Nano's vapor line is flared at the top, unlike the XROS's, making cleaning the vapor line of condensation and dirt much easier with the dotPod. Condensation can be removed from the evaporation chamber by simply blowing air into the vapor line and scraping the condensation from the bottom.
Because the main part of the cartridge is located within the POD body, the amount of e-liquid remaining in the cartridge is not visible. You can check the remaining e-liquid by turning the POD on its side or upside down.
The cartridge shaft contains magnets, two contacts, and an air supply tube connected to the sensor. Condensation forms in small quantities and is difficult to remove because the distance between the elements is small.
The battery pack measures approximately 68 x 50 x 15 mm, which is slightly larger than a standard matchbox. Compared to these dimensions, even a Vuse disposable matchbox looks enormous. The POD fits perfectly in a lighter pocket on jeans.
The dotPod Nano has a low power consumption, despite being able to output up to 18 watts.
Perhaps the positive attitude towards the device was also influenced by the fact that the first cartridge was filled with VMed Eucalyptus Strawberry Mint liquid.
The liquid is unusually soft and tasty.
There is no sore throat after use.
You can taste the real honey.
However, the review is not bought and not everything is so smooth with this POD.
The filler cap is so thin and soft that it can be easily pushed into the filler cap. I haven't encountered any other issues during use.
For normal flavor transfer, I would change the cartridge every two weeks, but even after two weeks it remains clean even with tobacco liquids, which heavily stain the cartridge.
A very pleasant, high-quality stealth device with excellent draw, unfortunately underappreciated by users.
