Salt nicotine, which appeared a couple of years ago, has revolutionized the world of vaping. Thanks to it, vapers have the opportunity to get a quick saturation of the body with nicotine, but the draw will be minimal unlike the liquid on the nicotine of organic origin. But for steaming such liquids classic tanks and even more so drips are not suitable, because there is an intense vaporization. Therefore, the emergence of closed systems or POD-systems was logical and expected. Now every manufacturer has a few PODs in its arsenal and Vaporesso is not an exception, it releases devices of such format with enviable regularity. Not to rest on its laurels, the company presented Vapresso XTRA Pod Kit, an interesting, practical and self-contained POD system that will definitely find its buyers.
General information
The Vaporesso XTRA Pod Kit is a compact POD system with a powerful built-in battery that runs on removable cartridges with built-in high resistance vaporizers for vaping liquids based on salt nicotine. The device is made in a fairly traditional form factor, so it is not only compact in size, but also has a decent ergonomics. The device is designed to work with removable cartridges with built-in vaporizers, designed for smoking liquids with salt nicotine. POD-system is designed to work in automatic mode, so it does not have any controls. You can buy the Vaporesso XTRA Pod Kit” in six colors gray, rainbow, silver, silver resin, rainbow resin and gray resin.
Complete set
The new POD-system is completed quite decently the vaper will not have any difficulties with the service and use of the device. In a fairly simple cardboard box the vaper is waiting:
XTRA Battery Pack;
MESHED UNIPOD cartridge with 0.8 ohm resistance (pre-installed);
UNIPOD cartridge resistance 1.2 ohms;
USB charging cable;
Warranty card;
Reminder card;
User’s manual.
XTRA Battery Pack
Vapers who keep track of the vape market news can notice that Vaporesso company has recently stepped up its efforts and new devices of different formats are being released with an enviable regularity. Not to say that this is a bad thing in the end the vaper who gets new interesting devices wins. And the “Vaporesso XTRA Pod Kit” is another prime example of what you can get with the original POD system for vaping salt nicotine liquids.
The design of Vaporesso XTRA Pod Kit is a little bit different from the standard devices of this class, it resembles a cylinder with a rectangle fixed on it, so the device has excellent ergonomics. The surface of the device is made of anti-slip plastic, which is an additional plus for ergonomics. Its compact size (73.9×38.2×16.7 mm) makes it very easy to keep in your pocket or purse.
The Vaporesso XTRA Pod Kit is powered by a 900 mAh battery which is a very good value for a device of its size and class. The battery is charged using a standard micro-USB connector located on the side, 1A current.
On the body of the device there is only one button (it is located on the bottom end), which is used to turn on / off the device. Vaporesso XTRA Pod Kit works in two modes, activated automatically depending on the resistance of the installed cartridge, 11 and 16 watts. To monitor the battery level, there is a small LED located near the micro-USB connector. Activation is done with a puff.
XTRA Pod Cartridge
The developers of the company decided to complete the Vaporesso XTRA Pod Kit with interchangeable cartridges, not vaporizers, because the device is small enough. The cartridge is held in the battery pack with the usual magnetic holders.
Vaporesso XTRA Pod Kit has two types of cartridges – MESHED UNIPOD with 0,8 Ohm resistance (on the grid) and UNIPOD with 1,2 Ohm resistance (on the standard coil). The battery pack works in automatic mode, so its output will be 16 and 11 watts respectively. Adjustment of blowing is not provided. To refill the cartridge on its side surface there is a small hole, closed by a silicone plug, opening which you can pour 2 ml of liquid. It is worth using bottles with a thin spout because the opening is really small.
Conclusions and impressions
Despite the rather large number of PODs on the market, Vaporesso has once again managed to release a decent and interesting device. We can’t say that the “XTRA Pod Kit” will be a mega hit of sales, but it will definitely find its buyer, as the vaper will get a compact, self-contained device, designed for two types of cartridges, and this is not a bad thing.
