It seems a that there is a new trend of Pod Kits that take replaceable 18650 batteries.

I decided to build a Goggle Sheet to gather information on some of the ones I found so far.
Anyone can edit the Sheet - so if you're interested, add any data/corrections you deem fit.

smok should mod their RPM40 with battery door, so we can swap battery and still remain the size ...

Ya know, in movies with space crafts those times when the thing is about to explode and everybody bales, they often leave in escape 'pods'.
Well, those are big enough to hold a human which is a lot bigger than an 18650 battery…… just sayin'.

For me a vape pod system is a lot smaller than an 18650 battery but I can see how folks could like an already built e-juice cooker tank attached to a device that allows fuel tank swap. Once it is able to swap fuel cells, wicks, and coils it becomes a lot less easy to call it a pod system. At least for me, anyway. Regardless how big or small.

An rpm40 with a replaceable battery would be about the perfect mod for me.
I have one and love it, but really don't use it as much as I could because as I'm heading out the door "Battery Anxiety" kicks in and I end up grabbing my Pico75 and a couple extra batteries as backup - so what's the point of bringing my rpm40 along in the first place?

I have owned a BB clone in the past and loved the form factor but hated the boro tank design so some of these new devices coming out really appeal to me.

I had a SXK-chipped BB and was unimpressed.
The chip was garbage - inconsistent ohms readings and power delivery and If I forgot to pull my battery, the device would drain it completey dead (like throw-away dead) even with the mod powered off.
A DNA BB is just too rich for my blood.

I really wanted to jump on a Zeta during Fasttech's Halloween sale, but the thing is still pretty much vaporware - release date keeps getting pushed back, no reviews, etc.

But that wouldnt a pod anymore then, this would be a regular box mod. Pods dont have 510 connector pins, but pods thatslide into place only for a specific device.
for me, purpose of pod because of small size, easy carry, decent performance, less leaking and long lasting battery due to 1.X ohm .......
but today all this AIO device, it have no different with my Cfiber or early stick mod ......
