Hello and welcome back for another vape review, today's item was sent to me from Voopoo and it's one of two new versions of the Vmate pod system called the VMATE E. I will start off telling you that the VMATE E is one heck of a great looking device that has fully adjustable airflow with a pod that holds 3ml of juice. A 1200mAh internal battery is housed inside the device giving the user great vape time on a single charge. Lets get started with a little info on the VMATE E pod kit prior to my review .

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
To start out I have to say Voopoo really improved their packaging with the VMATE E, it's a standard box in a sleeve with one end of the sleeve being solid, the other end is open with the box having a small sticker taped halfway. Pulling the sticker pulls the box out showing a rectangular box with Voopoo stamped on it, inside the box is the 2nd pod, type-c charge cord and the user manual. The device lays under the box in a pre-formed plastic tray.
The first thing I noticed was the brilliant deep Blue color of the one sided leather, it really looks very high end and classy. There is a dust cap also covered in leather on one side that has some wiggle to it when shaken. I never really cared for dust caps on devices until recently getting a big piece of pocket lint stuck in another pod I was reviewing, it was a pain getting that piece of lint out of the mouthpiece so now I appreciate a dust cap on a device. The VMATE E is a button free device being auto-draw only, there is however fully adjustable airflow using a slider and it has a maximum power output of 20 watts.
I wanted to charge the device to it's fullest seeing only 3 of the tiny LED's illuminated when I plugged it in to charge. It took about 15 minutes to fully charge and have all 4 LED's on, for their size these are pretty bright. The LED's are your battery status meter and also illuminate when vaping.
BATTERY STRENGTH
* 4 LIGHTS ILLUMINATED - 75-100%
* 3 LIGHTS ILLUMINATED - 50-75%
* 2 LIGHTS ILLUMINATED - 25-50%
* 1 LIGHT ILLUMINATED - 10- 25%
* 1 LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN RED - 10% OR UNDER
You have already seen the front of the device basking in leather but the leather is only on one side of the VMATE E as well as it's dust cap, the back and sides are a beautiful light Gunmetal color with some Voopoo branding printed on it. At first I was disappointed that the entire device wasn't covered in leather but now I like the two-toned effect better.
The device ships with the 0.7Ω mesh pod pre-installed, to me there is a somewhat lightly frosted look that comes through blending nicely with the back of the device's color. On one of the VMATE E's sides DESIGNED BY VOOPOO is lightly printed on it.
On the other side of the device at the top portion is where the airflow selector is located, it's a slider with good resistance not being too tight or loose, it stays where you set it. The selector has criss-crossed knurling making it easy to move up or down, down being fully open.
The VMATE E is really a MTL device but you can get a tight RDL vape with the selector fully open if you wanted to but it's more of a loose MTL, closing the airflow selector fully closed there is still some air able to get in giving a rather tight MTL vape, my sweet spot is 1/4 open. The auto-draw feature works very well on the VMATE E.
As you have seen all corners are rounded off which makes for a very comfortable hand feel, the bottom of the VMATE E is also rounded so standing the device upright although possible is not recommended because the slightest nudge will tip it over and repeated tip overs are not good for any device so lay it down when not using. The bottom is also where the charge port is located, being on the bottom gives the VMATE E a very clean appearance.
Now it's time for a look at the pod, when you receive the kit you will notice a transparent sticker covering the contacts of the pod, Voopoo puts this sticker on for accidental firing in transport which can't really happen with it being a auto-draw only device.
Before removing the sticker fill the pod and let it sit for 10 minutes to be sure the cotton is fully saturated, only then remove the sticker and begin vaping. You can see the 2 contact pins in Gold as well as the auto-draw nozzle between them on the device, the pod connects with 2 strong magnets as most pod devices do.
Filling the 3ml pod is done by pulling up on the rubber plug located on the bottom side of the pod, there is a arrow pointing to the direction to lift up. the plug opens easily and has a very large fill port allowing air to be expelled during filling for a mess free fill.
The airflow is smooth and the flavor on these pods is great ( BOTH OF THEM ). Both pods give a warm vape rather than cool and that's probably why I like them almost equally but the 0.7Ω mesh pod edges the 1.2Ω pod by a very small margin. I am happy that Voopoo decided on a clear pod that at times looks slightly frosted because juice is easily seen.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS
I have to say that Voopoo has been cranking out some real winners lately and the VMATE E is no exception, the vape is a warm one so if you like cooler vapes this might not be a good fit for you.
I really don't think this has a boost circuit featured but it sure feels like it, the vape is constant all the way up to when it's down to 1 light remaining when it's Red in color which is 10% or less so it's time to charge anyway.
Flavor is great with plenty of vapor as well. I was really hoping for a good performance especially after seeing how attractive it was, I didn't want a let down and the VMATE E didn't let me down. I really enjoy using it and now have to get pods for it for future use. I highly recommend the luxurious looking VMATE E because it's a WINNER!!! I would like to thank Nical and Voopoo for providing the VMATE E for the purpose of my review.
THANK YOU
