► Eleaf FlasQ Pod Mod Kit; First Impressions:
Eleaf has always stood out for the search for captivating designs, this time the "challenge" for Eleaf was to create a Pod Mod device with an intelligent memory function equipped with a display, and which in addition to boasting a strong personality in design, could satisfy the widest possible audience of vapers. And here comes Eleaf FlasQ, available in a new and unique shape, similar to a flask, with a solid body entirely made of metal, therefore with an exquisite form factor to the eye but also quite ergonomic to handle. The other goal was to give FlasQ "universal" characteristics to satisfy both MTL "users" but also RDL ones. To do this Eleaf has leaned on an adjustable airflow system and its brilliant platform of GTL Coils, recently updated with the introduction of the special GTL Black Coils line. In the image below you can see FlasQ Pod Mod Kit alongside the new Eleaf iStick Power Mono, these two devices are fully compatible with each other as regards the use of GTL Coils.
In the image below you can see the side profile of FlasQ Pod Mod which is characterized by a pair of carvings that delimit a comfortable and well-shaped handle.
► Eleaf FlasQ Pod Mod Kit; Screen and control keys:
On the "rear" panel, the only visible decorations are written in italics "Designed By Eleaf", + the display in block letters of the disposal logo and the C E trademark. On the main panel, the writing in italics "Eleaf" appears at the top. you can see; the slightly protruding circular fire button, the "+" and "-" adjustment buttons and a small monochrome display containing the essential data and information to keep you updated on the operation of the Mod.
* The interaction of the chipset with the various key combinations allows the following operations:
• Power On / Off: Press the Fire button 5 times.
• Wattage Recommendation: When a coil is detected, the chipset recommends the best wattage for the coil according to its used resistance.
• Memory function: You can freely adjust the power from 1 to 20W with 0.1W steps at a time, or between 20 and 40W with 0.5W steps at a time and according to your preferences, however after vaping at least twice, the chipset will remember the last wattage setting selected and used for the same resistor.
• Button lock / unlock: Press and hold the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously.
• Stealth On / Off: Press the Fire and "-" keys simultaneously.
• 180 ° screen rotation: In the power off state, press the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously.
► Eleaf FlasQ Pod Mod Kit; Type-C Charging Socket & Bottom Base:
On the bottom is a Type-C 5V / 1.5A charging port that allows you to fully recharge the 1370mAh battery in about half an hour. So the charging operations must be done with the mod lying down, however I would have liked FlasQ to stand vertically. Unfortunately the rounded shape of the bottom of FlasQ does not allow it to be positioned vertically, and this is perhaps the only aspect that I do not like about this beautiful device.
► Eleaf FlasQ Pod Mod Kit; Pod compartment:
The large upper opening to insert the cartridge contains two magnets and the contact pins which are gold plated, in addition there are two black round shaped rubber pads that protect the two slot of the screws from infiltrating dirt, and this is a particular hallmark construction accuracy by Eleaf!
► Eleaf FlasQ Pod Mod Kit; GTL POD:
Eleaf's new GTL cartridge is quite innovative, and is based on some rather important features, such as using a rapid "push-pop" coil "disengagement" system, this solution allows you to extract the coil quickly and simply by pressing the drip-tip. Furthermore, the external air intakes of the GTL coils will be completely inserted inside the cartridge, thus protecting the user from leaks and condensation which is the true Achilles heel of these devices. Then the air intakes of the coils will be hidden inside the cartridge, and will be powered by the system called "Dual U-Shaped Air Flow Channels", in practice a finely adjustable TOP AFC adjustment system to obtain precise MTL or RDL type extractions.
In the image below you can see the cartridge from the side, at the top there is the metal AFC adjustment system which consists of a rotating ring equipped with rotation stops, and an airflow of 10x2mm that can be completely partialized, completely closed, or fully open. The fixed type drip-tip is not replaceable because it controls the aforementioned "push-pop" system. The cartridge has a large capacity of 5ml of e-liquid. However, the cartridge was manufactured using very dark PCTG material which is not exactly ideal for clearly displaying the internal e-liquid level, and here I have to point out another small negative point.
The filling system is simple and really convenient, it consists of a rubber pad positioned high up on the pod and a large refill hole that places almost no limit on the size of the tips of the bottles on the market.
In the image below you can see the two pod magnets which are mirror images of those present in the mod. You can also observe how the coil is completely inserted inside the cartridge and with no external air intake, this feature together with the already described "Dual U-Shaped Air Flow Channels" makes it impossible the leaking or condensation. Nice Eleaf!
► Eleaf FlasQ Pod Mod Kit; GTL Coils:
Included in the FlasQ kit there are two different types of GTL-coils of the metal color series and they are; a 0.4Ω Mesh for RDL and a 0.8Ω Mesh for MTL. Also you can buy separately the GTL Black edition Coils which have been developed for both MTL and RDL and which all perform very well, with great flavor for a more than satisfying vaping experience. Another pride of Eleaf is to have made all GTL coils compatible with various types of cartridges and tanks, some examples of compatibility are; Eleaf iJust 3 GTL, Eleaf iSOLO AIR, Eleaf iSOLO R, Eleaf iStick T80 GTL, Eleaf iStick Power 2, Eleaf GTL Pod Tank, Eleaf GTL MINI Pod, Eleaf GTL Pod, Eleaf iStick Power Mono.
► Eleaf FlasQ Pod Mod Kit; Vaping test Final conclusions:
To test FlasQ Pod Mod I used an eliquid PG / VG 50:50 with concentrated aroma "Hypnos" diluted to 10% and with an additional boost of 3mg / ml.
• 0.4Ω GTL Mesh Coil with 20-30W range:
When using this resistor, the intelligent function of the chipset automatically suggests and sets a power of 26W, of course you can choose a different value and that is between 20 and 30W, this value will be remembered and set automatically after having made at least 2 puffs . RDL-type extraction recalls a position of the AFC open at least 50%, in this way you get a good flavor, big dense clouds and a decisive Hit (blow in the throat), the Mesh is responsive and works flawlessly and without "spit". Even at 20W which is the minimum recommended power, you get good performance and good battery life.
• 0.8Ω GTL Mesh Coil with 12-18W range:
When you use this coil for the first time, the Smart function selects by default a 13W power, the intelligent memory function allows you to set any other value between 12 and 18W remembering it even when you turn off the Mod and turn it back on. The responsiveness of the Mesh allows satisfactory use starting from 12W, personally I like to set at least 16W and adjust the AFC open for about 1/3, in this way I get a concentrated flavor with the best possible perception of the nicotine present in my e- liquid. What really struck me about this resistance is the impressive amount of vapor it can emit with such low selected powers, all this to the advantage of battery life and vaping autonomy which are both decidedly prolonged.
The FlasQ Pod Mod substantially has two fundamentally opposite characteristics, one is that of having a rather ergonomic original factor form, and the other characteristic is that of weighing 150g which are not few considering its compact size. The Zinc alloy construction of FlasQ makes it really a massive object, you certainly can't forget that you have it in your pocket, lose it on the street or leave it at the bar. For opposite reasons it often happens to me when I am distracted to lose too light disposable type devices. Some of my friends noticed the FlasQ Pod Mod and complimented me on its appearance, being surprised when they started handling it after discovering that it felt really solid and qualitative to the touch. At the end of this test I can say that FlasQ Pod Mod has only the defect of not standing up, but there are many other positive features that push me to use it very willingly. The cartridge (apart from the too dark color) is really well designed and with a comfortable refill from the top you can even insert 5ml of e-liquid! The combined action of the internal airflow system with the "push-pop" prevents any loss or condensation. The chipset is not particularly feature-rich and the display lacks the puff counter, however this chip is really smart with its memory functions and automatic setting of the best power. Furthermore, the reading of the coils is stable and precise. The 1370mAh battery recharges in a short time (about 30 minutes) and has a duration that will accompany you throughout the day (if you are not too compulsive). So can I advise you to buy this device? There are a couple of aspects that can be improved, but also many innovative features, so for my personal taste and following my positive Vape test I want to promote FlasQ Pod Mod. So the answer is yes, I recommend it, because it is a truly device universal and based on the GTL coils you decide to use you can choose your RDL or MTL vaping mode with satisfaction and without inconveniences.
I would like to thank Eleaf for providing me with the kit. I hope this review was useful for anyone looking to buy FlasQ Pod Mod.
Eleaf new FlasQ comes in a novel and unique flask-like shape, with sleek and ergonomic design. As an all-new pod mod vape, Eleaf FlasQ surpasses your expectations of airflow design in a pod with the added convenience of its push-pop coil replacement mechanism. It accepts all GTL coils...
