Totally different experience compare to a standard tank.

I thinks it's a great vape but that [Removed] pod....... We now have a ton of refillable tank why pod......
Fool and leak proof. Very light, can vape it hands-free. Convenient when I need a quick (and stealth) nicotine fix. BTW, pods are refillable (watch Q's youtube) but IMO it defeats the purpose. For me it's just an addition to what I already have.

Its a company using upcoming regs to introduce a device that gets you back on the tether.

Like tobacco companies get cig money every few days, this is a way tonchain you to a company and require you to keep buying their products.

We are all ex smokers.
We should all recognize this tactic.

Do not fall for this scam from any company.

Well, then clearomizers are also scam. Same as modern printers, you have to buy ink cartridges.
But my life doesn't revolve around "do-it-yourself-everything" concept. If I can afford, then why not.

Why?

Why waste money on an inferior product and sacrifice quality and cash for convenience?
I work for my money so I pay attention to how it is spent.
Dont sell youself short...especially on something that is so obviously profit oriented?

Its really not that convenient.
With an RTA like the Bellus for example, i change wicks every few weeks.
I change coils every few months.

I DIY juice so I get far far higher quality at about $0.03 per ml.

I'd be really interested in these for the short out and about stints.
Pods are easily refillable.

Well the video is wrong about capacity, it is only 1.6ml, not 2ml or 2.5ml, I know because I measured. Also putting the bottom back on like Q did, it might not seat properly and will flood, trust me here, had it happen several times. Here is a post I made in another thread with pictures (just to save me time from doing it all over again).

It is a nice and portable little device. It has its place in my hoard of equipment. :D

Just got a "dry hit" and decided to re-fill. I know, that was not the reason to buy it in the first place, but I'm a hobbyist after all :)

The "disassemble" part was pretty straight forward

Quick rinse and back to fill

Burnie is right, the pod holds 1.6 ml of juice.

No leaking so far.

Work that little plastic thing out and put it on top of the coil before refill, trust me, sometimes, but not all the time, it won't seal properly if you don't. And congrats on your first refill. :D

Thankfully, these companies realize there IS a market for these kinds of systems as there are many who don't want to fiddle with rebuildables. Like it or not, they're here to stay and will be used by many with excellent results.

Burnie, do you mean that little plastic "chimney" in between the coil and the metal tube? Here is what I did: removed the base, pulled out that little plastic "chimney", attached it to the base first, filled with juice and then pushed the base back into the pod. Surprisingly the pod has survived the surgery and everything works fine for now.

Yep, that is what I meant. In Q's video he did not pull out the "little plastic chimney" (or the guy in the other video i watched), sounds like you did it right. :)

Like it?
It doesnt affect me.

I have no emotional/ financial investment either way.
I will however do my part, being a decent honorable person, to inform others of their options and how cost effective some are.

The more you know, the more you grow.

These closed systems, proprietary connections, etc have always been marketing and sales strategy.

Didnt you mention this yourself in a discussion about FDA regulations?
