February 2022 Pods Ranked. Not too many surprises really, but a few wild-cards that are messing things up. Still loving the Pebble, like the G2 it feels “overclocked” to me sometimes. Otherwise, I stand by everything I said in these rankings. All pods mentioned have a review below.
review
Despite first seeing the Inmood Revolve pod and thinking how gimmicky it felt, it actually kinda turned around and surprised me. It’s not an ideal shape, it’s a unique shape. It’s also much heavier than most any other pod out there.
It’s a pocket, purse, backpack kinda pod. One of the things I enjoy about pods is being able to hold them in my front chest pocket. Never really been an issue before this Revolve pod. It’s not chest-pocket friendly.
Oh yeah… the Voltrove RBA for boro is just really really really good. I don’t want to say that it’s the bridge I’ve been looking for, but it’s scratching my itch in a really good way. Not only does it vape amazeballs, but it’s crazy easy to build and wick. Zero leaking issues since, 3mm for the win, the Voltrove makes me want to burn my instruments.
Boro shootout coming soon I think. Things need to be compared hard.
As I said in the video, I’ve had an M25 QP Fatality in the past, I had it in this build stream [LINK] and I truly and honestly liked it. But I don’t remember falling for it THIS hard. Maybe it’s all in my head.
Dial in your airflow, and exhale some radical flavor. Everything works and fits awesomely on the Fatality M30. No bad o-rings, no bad threads.
THOSE O-RINGS THO… alright that’s the last time. As the title says, the single-coil side quest for this Wotofo Recurve V2 RDA is not worth it. Dual coils all the way. It’s also pretty atrocious without that peek airflow strainer. If you lose or break that, it’s kinda game over with this. The vape gets really very bad.
Flavor ( with the strainer ) is bangin. The deck is BANGIN 9,000.
Yeah, the Uwell PopReel N1 pod won me over in a severe way. I don’t always love a tight draw like this. I don’t love it on the SMOK SOLUS or that Vinci Q, but The Popreel is really quite enjoyable.
I’m using a 60% VG 12mg traditional nic e-liquid in here. Zero issues at all. It stays fairly clean if you wipe up after every fill. It’s also lightweight enough for hands-free use. Bonus points.
Look this is just a long video and there was no way around it. I wanted you to see the full adventure / experience with the B-01 Boro RDTA. Spoilers but I think I eventually got it!! I can see how this works now, it’s a bit of a revelation. I’m a bit more optimistic for future SS Cable wick-based RDTAs for sure.
As for the B-01, it’s really really well made. The top cap can be finicky to position, and there is that whole song and dance if you want to re-wick / glow your coils. The whole tank has to come apart and it can be a bit much at times.
It’s a SMOK pod so… you can probably guess my excitement level. The Pozz Pro ticks almost every box for me. Almost. I get the feeling that the Pozz Pro could tick a lot more boxes for a lot more people.
The hand feel is legit good and these coil heads have been… really very good. I know it’s a controversial thing to say about SMOK, but I can only speak to my experience, your mileage on the Pozz Pro coil heads might vary. Weak ass airflow control too.
I wasn’t expecting any surprises with the Vaporesso XROS NANO, but here we are. This is essentially a square version of the XROS2 ( same compatible pods ), but the XROS Nano does this “pulsing” thing that none of the other pods do. It’s not a dealbreaker really, but it’s something you will hear every time you vape. Less so with a restricted lung type of draw.
Otherwise, I like this for the same reason I mostly liked the other newer XROS2 and XROS Mini.
SORRY! I misspoke, the AFC control DOES come completely out for cleaning. I’m an idiot.
I don’t know what to say here that I didn’t say in the video. The Legal RDA is a certified banger, hands down. Drippers will love the crap out of this thing I think. Really stellar airflow, really good flavor.
Simple postless deck, so easy to wick. RDA’s are simple things with no need to be overly complicated. They are the manual stick shift of vaping.
