The RPM40 was a great device but the new RPM80 is even better. The RPM80 has a large 0.96” screen with adjustable user interface options as well as a puff counter, battery life indicator, coil resistance, voltage and wattage.

#10. Geekvape Aegis Pod

The Aegis Pod is Geekvape’s first simple and compact pod device. It’s sleek, ultra-portable and light. It’s also super durable with its IP67 water, dust, and shock resistance rating. The Aegis Pod packs an 800mAh battery and recharges through a Type-C port. 

It has a 3.5ml capacity pod and comes with two identical 0.6ohm mesh coils in the package. These are Geekvape’s new G.coil type coils which will apparently be compatible with future products in the same 5-20W power range. This also means that any G.coil type coils that are released in the future will be compatible with the Aegis Pod (provided that they’re meant for 5-20W). Pretty neat!

When using the included 0.6ohm coils the Aegis Pod will fire at an 18W constant output. This constant output makes the draws super consistent. The Aegis Pod delivers a loose MTL draw that verges on a  restricted lung hit. It’s a nice draw but some die-hard MTL vapers might prefer the draw to be tighter. Still, it’s a really nice vape and the warmth of the vapor is just right.

The Aegis Pod doesn’t have airflow control or wattage adjustment but it’s an easy to use device that just works. For a super portable Aegis, Geekvape have done a solid job with the Aegis Pod.

What Is A Pod Vape?

Pod vapes are small, portable and ease to use devices that are made up of two main parts: a refillable/replaceable pod & a battery. The pod usually has the coil built-in. In this case, all you have to do is fill up the pod, wait for it to soak, and you’re ready to vape! Some vapes like the SMOK Nord use replaceable coils for their pods but it’s more or less the same process; you just have to replace the coils every once-in-a-while instead of the entire pod.

Pod vapes are perfect for beginners, but advanced vapers love them too. They make a great backup device for when your main device is charging. They’re also low-profile and light for those times when you don’t want too much on your person.

Pod vapes come in all different shapes and sizes but they’re all very compact and light. This makes them easy to carry around or slip into a pocket as opposed to an entire box mod and tank. For this reason, more and more vapers are gravitating towards pod vapes. Why bring around a mod and tank when you get get great flavor from a device less than half the size and weight?

Pod vapes are usually draw-activated, meaning you just have to pull on the mouthpiece to produce vapor. This adds to their ease of use and convenience. However, some pod-vapes use a single button to fire but they are still super easy to operate.  

The Different Types of Pod Vapes

As with all devices, pod vapes come in a few different varieties:

Open System, Refillable Pods: In pod vapes with refillable pods you have the option of using your own ejuice. You just unplug the stopper and fill up your favorite ejuice. Open systems give you much more freedom but they also require a little more work as you have to buy your own ejuice and fill it up yourself.

Closed System, Pre-Filled Pods: Pod vapes with pre-filled pods are the most simple to use. These vapes have pods that are prefilled with eliquid so you don’t have the option of using your own ejuice. This makes them super easy to use and you won’t have to use your own ejuice. Instead, you can choose from the flavors that the manufacturer makes and simply pop them into your device and begin vaping.

Draw Activated: Draw activated pod vapes will produce vapor as soon as you pull on the device. Simply inhale and the device will begin to produce vapor, much like a cigarette.

Button Activated: Button activated pod vapes require you to push a button while you draw for it to begin to produce vapor.

Benefits of Using a Pod Vape

There are multiple benefits to using a pod vape over a traditional tank and mod:

• Easy To Use
• More Affordable
• Portable
• More Discreet
• Lighter
• Convenient

Disadvantages of Using a Pod Vape

There are also some disadvantages to using a pod vape as opposed to a vape tank and mod:

• Less Flavorful
• Less Powerful
• Shorter Battery Life
• No Airflow Adjustment Option
• Less Vapor Production

How To Use A Pod Vape

Using a pod vape is easy. You’ll want to start by filling up the pod that comes with the device. To do this, locate the fill port. It’s usually located on the side of most pods and sealed with a rubber stopper. For other pods, you may have to remove the drip tip to access the fill port.

Once you’ve found the fill port take your bottle of ejuice and fill the pod nearly to the top, leaving just a little bit of space inside. This will ensure the best performance of the coil and pod.

After filling, allowing the pod to sit for at least 10 minutes before starting to vape. This is so that the coil can soak and so that you don’t burn the coil inside the pod. You’ll want to be very careful not to burn the coil — most pods have the coil built in so if you burn the coil, the entire pod will have to be thrown out.

Once the coil has been allowed to sit and prime you can attach the pod to the device. If it’s a draw-activated vape you can simply inhale on the mouthpiece to start vaping. If it’s a button activated pod vape you’ll want to press the button as you inhale. Voila! That’s all there is to it!
