Welcome back for another review. Today I will be taking a look at the Innokin Trine SE Pod kit that was sent to me by Innokin in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The SE is the latest addition to the Trine series of devices. Like the previous version, it uses a 1000mah battery that can be charged in the device or in the optional external charger. It has a maximum output range of 25 watts and is auto draw only. It does have adjustable airflow and a single battery light indicator but is a simplistic device with no display. It comes with the same VCAP pods that I’ve tested in two previous devices that perform very well.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Innokin Trine SE is simplistic much like the device itself. The front of the box has both the Innokin and Trine SE names printed on the front along with a picture of the device and the removable battery. The back of the box has a contents list along company information. Both the front and back have a large warning printed on the near the bottom of the box.
Once opened, inside is the Trine SE with the removable battery pre-installed, one each of the .6 and .8 ohm VCAP pods and a user manual. There was not a charging cable included but the SE uses a USB-C port so most people are going to already have a cable. Along with two samples for the review, I was also sent two boxes of 1.2 ohm pods that can be purchased separately. I prefer the .6 and .8 ohm pods and have reviewed all three in my previous review of the original Trine. I do wish that Innokin had sent the optional external charger for the batteries. The original Trine came with two batteries.
As I mentioned before, the Trine SE is a simpler version of the original. It does not have a display screen and is auto draw only. One side of the SE has the Innokin name printed on it while the opposite side has the Trine SE name along with the battery light indicator. I personally don’t love the percentage split on this one and previous Innokin pods where the light is green from 100-30 percent. The light is yellow from 30-10 percent, and it is red from 10-0 percent. I personally would have liked the green to be down to maybe 50 percent in order to give the user more warning before needing recharged.
In the second picture you can see that one side has the USB-C charging port and near the bottom you can see the tab that needs to be squeezed to slide the battery out. There is one on each side. It uses the same batteries as the original Trine. The opposite side has the sliding airflow control.
The pod opening on the SE has two magnets that secure the pod in securely as well as two plated and spring loaded contact that transfer power to pod. The bottom of the batteries have the Innokin name on them.
In case you’re not familiar with the VCAP pods, they are a top fill pod and very flavorful. I really like how the inserts on the pods are color coded according to the resistance of the pod. The .6 ohm pod is orange, the .8 ohm pod is blue, and the 1.2 ohm is green. The top cap simply pops off the expose the fill opening on one end with a rubber ring around it. It’s hard to see in the third picture but there is a smaller hole on the opposite end that allows air to escape while filling. The center hole is of course for the airflow and no liquid should be put in this hole.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The Innokin Trine SE is a simplistic device but has fantastic performance in my opinion. I have had the Trine SE for almost a month now and during that time I have experienced no leaking and literally no condensation. I have use one at work daily during this time and it has worked flawlessly. I ran the .8 ohm pod with a simple mix mint recipe which has no sweetener added and it is still working great and still providing a really nice throat hit and flavor.
On the second sample, I ran the .6 ohm pod with a guava green tea mix and the flavor production was also very good along with increased vapor production. The battery management on both samples seemed very good. I mentioned earlier that I had previously tested all three pods and really didn’t see a need to test the 1.2 ohm pods again. I don’t use that high of resistance on any pod device and the vapor production really isn’t satisfying for me but I’m sure others might like the higher resistance. That being said, the 1.2 does deliver good flavor but is just a little weak for me.
The only real con I have for this one is that I wish that the battery percentage spread for the indicator light was a little more evenly split. I also kind of wish that Innokin had sent the external charger for the batteries so it could have been covered in the review. I’d like to thank Innokin for sending the Innokin Trine SE kits for this review as well as the spare packs of pods. Also a big thanks to the readers for checking out my review.
