The first Pandora MTL RTA was fine, it wasn’t amazing, but it was a solid MTL RTA. I didn’t have super high hopes for this, and I’m glad I didn’t because I don’t super love the Pandora MTL RTA V2. Over-engineered and cluttered is how I would describe this RTA.

The lower MM airflow holes are mostly ok, but not super enjoyable. For an “open” MTL the Pandora MTL V2 RTA does much much better. The bell cap is kinda cool, but man it’s a bit of a pain to get it up and going, and you will have to fill through the bottom if you wanna go full bell cap.

The time I spent with these pods leading up to this was a little ridiculous, I take my recommendations responsibility seriously and these are my top picks for the year DEC 2021 PODS RANKED.

I don’t wanna say there were no surprises, but when you have most everything from the year on the desk. A2, G2, the Doric, the MVP, and A1FC… almost too many to count, not including the disposables I tried this year.

These really really really got off to a strong start man. The Target 200 got a solid week of use before I even opened up the Target 100. I started noticing little annoyances, and it really went downhill fast. The GTX coil heads I’m really into. I don’t remember them being quite this good.

Shame about the doors, shame about that platform on top. I’m not exaggerating when I say this 200w ( even now with its problems ) could have been a daily banger for me. Vaporesso killed it with that texture, the whole device feels awesome 9,000.

VooPoo can be both reliable and predictable. The Drag X PNP X kit is kinda just that. The 18650 isn’t amazing but isn’t awful. The PNP X heads get slurpy kinda like the TPP coil heads did. Overall the Drag X PNP X kit is a solidly “fine” kit.

Time to get rid of that top fill system though, it gets to be a much bigger pain the more you use it.

I’m not one for gimmicky coil heads. Innokin’s “DUO PRIME” coil heads for the Kroma 217 seem really gimmicky at first, turns out they are actually the best coil heads that INNOKIN has ever released. Evidently, there is another layer of mesh in the layers of cotton that warms up and helps draw liquid into the coil head. All I know is the 0.2 coil head lasted me weeks, and still shows no sign of slowing down.

The gripes are the gripes, it’s whatever. I wasn’t expecting The Kroma 217 to be flawless. Overall very impressed and satisfied with this kit from Innokin. Nice fit, nice finish, nice hand feel, excellent vape.

Caliburn G2, I actually didn’t see this coming from UWELL. I assumed the Caliburn A2 would be their flagship pod… then this…

The reasoning is confusing, but thankfully the vape from the Caliburn G2 is stellar. Especially without that AFC. It’s smooth and flavorful and crispy. It’s everything I love about Caliburn coil heads. This is a replaceable coil style, rather than the “sealed” pods of the A2… so that’s a thing.

Ok so I don’t have my main computer, so I apologize if this video feels a little rough around the edges. I made the thumbnail on my phone, I’m working with what I got. Anyway…

I’m saying it again… The CEO boro bridge is hard not to love. Assuming you like some top quality-smooth-as-hell restricted lung vaping, because that is what the CEO does and it does it well.

I do feel really confident in my sticker rating of the GeekVape One FC, this was a deliberate, long, time spent review. I was really taken aback by this One FC. My first few days with this were TOO good. I was instantly skeptical that something this good, couldn’t possibly last. I was really waiting for the other shoe to drop on this pod.

It’s still going, and I’m still heavily using this and it just keeps going. I kept 3 pods going and they are all going, and going strong. Near new feeling. As always your mileage might vary. Grievances can be filed below in the comments.

I’m not exaggerating when I say this. The NALTT pod has a PERFECT draw. Two perfect draws actually, the tight draw is nice and tight but still enjoyable, and the more “open” draw is … I’m not even going to say “kind of” or “almost” … no.. it’s perfect. No, I guess perfect is subjective, but if you dig the A2 draw or the Wenax K1 draw, you will dig this because it’s like those but better.

The Pre-filled pods are all-around fine, a few flavors like I said in the video were really great for me, but taste is a subjective thing. Having tasted through all the pods, i’m pretty confident that most everyone could find a flavor they dig. The flavor on the empty pods is just as good as the pre-filled, assuming you use a 50/50 juice for better wicking. Salt will also work in this no problem.

Here’s the thing, the Innokin MVP Pod is fine. It vapes REALLY great at first, then settles down into a perfectly fine vape. Not particularly crackly or crispy, but plenty flavorful. My real issue is with the MVP Pod is all chip-related. Checking the battery is dumb and rarely works.

Innokin has always had red, yellow, and green. I don’t know why they went with only green and red on this. Even a yellow activation indicator that wasn’t green or red could have been fine. I’m just nit-picking at this point. Lots to like about the MVP Pod and I honestly think it’s Innokin’s best pod to date.
