Here’s the thing about the ALD XPLLO pod. The pods themselves vape REALLY NICE. The “open” airflow setting is probably my favorite. It’s the most Caliburn-like. The “tight” airflow setting is very tight. Too tight for GrimmGreen honestly, but not objectionable.

The ALD XPLLO drama comes from the batteries that are just failing on me. On something so simple like making sure a magnet is glued down properly. This doesn’t give me high hopes for their future products, but I’ll always give them a chance.

I guess the thing getting the most banana stickers are the pods themselves rather than the vessel you choose to use. The Vmate-E is bigger and heavier, I think it’s supposed to be “feminine” but.. it’s just honkin.

I don’t hate it, but I personally want smaller and lighter-weight pods these days. The Vmate INFINITY is almost exactly what I wanted; unfortunately, it’s basically an updated Vmate battery, with a bit more open airflow.

Got this in Dubai, used it through Germany, and finally back home. The flavor is a bit lacking, but everything else is overall awesome. The cap works well, but can also just be discarded and you can use this like any other pod. I see the appeal of it though.

The battery and coil life are the real winners here. 700mah is pretty great when you are used to 300-400mah batteries. Feels like this could be a long-lasting fairly durable pod.

If there is a pod system I’ve spent the MOST time with during a review, it’s the UWELL Popreel P1 hands down. I don’t love the size of the UWELL Popreel P1, but I really love the way it vapes. This has a tight ( disposable feeling ) airflow. Really stellar flavor.

According to the UWELL “airflow hexagon” these coils are big on “endurance” which I guess means they just last for a really long time. 3+ weeks on this one coil head and it still shows no sign of slowing down. That impresses me.

I’m actually not sure if I said this in the video, but the VooPoo Argus POD is giving me strong V-THRU / V-Mate vibes. Seriously though, this thing vapes awesome. I was only using a 50/50 liquid mix in it, I should have said that in the video. I don’t know right now how well this will hold up to a much thicker juice. The V-Thru / V-Mate pods did, so I have no reason to believe this wouldn’t.

In my Suorin Drop 2 video, I told a whole story about the life of these coil heads and how they start super crispy, then quickly become “fine” and just kinda keep going on being “fine”. These Suorin Air Mini coils do the EXACT SAME THING. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it is a consistent thing.

LOVE the style and handfeel of the Suorin Air Mini, feels very “apple” and I like that. Science and education down below.
