Hello, it’s good to be back with you for another review after having had a couple of weeks off with no reviews to work on. This time I will be taking a look at the Okino C100 which is powered by Innokin technology. The C100 has an 800mah internal battery along with a 4ml pod that uses the OK series replaceable coils. The body is made of a lightweight material to help make it more portable and is available in eleven different colors. It comes with a .4ohm coil and is designed to be an RDL device. There is an optional .6 ohm coil available for purchase separately. The C100 does not have an adjustable airflow control and relies instead on the different coils to regulate the amount of airflow. I don’t know about you but I’m really curious about this one so let’s get to it and I’ll give my thoughts on it.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
After having reviewed so many different pod devices it was honestly a little hard to get excited about the latest one. So many times pods are so similar that it kind of seems like the ground hog day movie where the guy wakes up each morning and does the same thing. I have to say that from the first puff I was very pleasantly surprised by the Okino C100. I’ll talk more about that later but first I’ll show you the box and what the device and pod look like. Innokin was nice enough to provide a red and a black version along with some extra coils so I will be able to give my thoughts on the .6 ohm OK coil as well as the .4 ohm OK coil that is included at the end of this review. Of course I feel like there should have been one of each included in the package. I fail to understand why companies include lanyards but not a second coil. This once comes with a lanyard ring but no lanyard.
On the front of the box is the Okino and C100 names in large print as well as the color version included in the box. The back side gives the company information and a warning. The sides of the box show a color picture of the device and the available coils on one side. The opposite side shows the contents list and the color version in smaller print near the bottom. The box opens from the end and there is a flap inside with a hole in the center that holds the C100 in place. It makes it a little awkward when trying to remove the device from the box.
The Okino C100 isn’t much bigger than a 21700 battery. It has an 800mah internal battery which I thought might have been bigger due to the diameter of it. The front of the C100 has the fire button and the letters OK for Okino printed on it. The back side of the C100 has the USB-C charging port which if I remember correctly is rated at 650mah/5V which will make a full charge take over an hour. The Okino name is printed on the back side also near the bottom. I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures below but the pod is not a super tight fit. You can grab the duck bill mouth piece and wiggle the pod back and forth a little.
The white circle around the bottom of the C100 is lighted when you plug it in to charge or when you take a puff. It indicates the battery level. If you’re a fan of flashing lights on your vaporizer then you can press the fire button twice to make the lights flash continuously. Two more presses turns it off and it will only light during operation or charging. This one is made by Innokin so it makes sense that it takes three presses of the fire button to turn it on or off. The specifications in the user manual say that the charging rate is 1A but to me it seems like a long time from when it’s completely dead to fully charged. Since I had two for the review, I didn’t time how long it took to charge fully but it definitely took over an hour to charge the 800mah battery. The light will be red in color until it gets to 90% charged and then will turn blue until it’s fully charged and the light will turn off.
The battery level is indicated by the lighted ring around the base. The battery level indications are as follows.
The pod opening on the C100 has the standard two spring loaded contacts to make connection with the coil in the pod and two magnets. What is different about this one is that there is an absorbant white pad in the bottom to protect the device from liquid leakage or condensation. As you can see in the picture below I did get some condensation. The pad does have a sticky back so a pair of tweezers is handy to remove it. There are five of these pads included with the device. At this point I don’t know if additional pads can be ordered.
The pod comes with the .4 ohm OK coil pre-installed but there is a sticker on the bottom to prevent accidental firing before filling the pod. The pod holds 4ml of liquid which is really nice. The pod is side filled after pulling the rubber plug. The plug feels well made and is easily rotated out of the way for filling. The fill hole is large enough to allow most bottles to be used.
The bottom of the pod has two magnets to help hold it in place but when the pod is in the C100 then there is some back and forth wiggle. The coils are pushed in and the slots cut out in the bottom of the coils should be aligned with the magnets. As I mentioned earlier, it only comes with the one coil which is .4 ohms and rated at 22.5 watts despite there being no way to adjust the output. The optional .6 ohm coils are rated at 18 watts. It’s nice that the .4 ohm coils have pink o rings while the .6 ohm coils have blue o rings which makes it very easy to tell which coil resistance you are installing.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
From the first puff with the .4 ohm coil, I was impressed with the C100. I very much like the size and performance it. I like that it can be button fired or used as auto draw. I did feel like the power was slightly stronger when button firing compared to auto draw but it could have been just me. This one has the best auto draw operation out of any device I’ve tried that was a true RDL device. I haven’t tried a lot but have tried a few and unless the airflow was tightened on them then operation was intermittent.
I personally don’t like flashing lights on my mods but if you do then this one does have that feature. Also I’m not a lanyard user but a lanyard ring is included with the C100 if that is something you like. I feel like they could have made the ring around the fire button as the battery indicator instead of the large ring on the base.
First I tested the .4 ohm coil on the black C100. I used Dinner Lady Blackberry Crumble. I thought the flavor production was very good and actually picked up on a flavor or two that I hadn’t been tasting while using it in a tank on a mod. The vapor production was abundant and the airflow was a very good fit for my style of RDL vaping. I was able to get through about an entire 4ml of liquid with a single charge. It almost seemed to me like there was more than the rated 800mah battery.
I installed one of the optional .6 ohm coils in the red version with a DIY Ry4 cream recipe that I have used a lot. I could only slightly tell the difference in airflow and output. The flavor on this coil was also very good and plenty of vapor was produced.
I would like to thank Innokin and Alisa for sending the two Okino C100 kits and the two boxes of spare coils for this review. As always, thank you to the readers. Below is a link to the website for your viewing pleasure.

- Short Circuit: Red light stays on for 5 seconds
- Overheat: Red light flashes 3 times + 3 times
- Low/High Coil Resistance: Red light stays on for 5 seconds and blue light flashes 5 times
