Here I am again. Back with yet another pod review for your viewing pleasure. This time I’m going to do my best to cover the joyetech Evio Pod Kit not to be confused with the Evio C2 pod kit. The Evio has a 960mah battery which is a little larger than most other pods this size on the market. It has a maximum output of 17 watts which sounds pretty good for a smallish pod. This one takes about an hour to fully charge since it only has a 5V/1A charging rate. The pod included has a 3ml liquid capacity and has a slide to fill top fill system which I am looking forward to trying. I don’t think I have seen this type of fill system on a pod before. Very impressive. Also one more thing it has to its advantage is a 3ml liquid capacity compared to most pods on the market. Like the C2, the Evio pod claims that you can switch from MTL to RDL by rotating the pod. We shall see how that works out later.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Evio Pod is a black box with a very nice color picture of the actual device contained inside the box on the front and a series of 3d lines wrapping around the picture. Also some icons with features are listed on the right side. The back side of the box has the contents list, specifications, authenticity code, and a bar code with the color version listed. The sides of the box have social media icons and information listed on one side while the other side has the joyetech name and the logo “Forward Thinking”.
Once opened, there is a plastic tray contained inside which has the Evio device with one .8 ohm mesh pod installed, a second .8 ohm mesh pod in a foil pack, a USB-C charging cable, user manual, and warranty card. There are actually two different kits available. There’s one with one pod and the one I received which comes with two pods. I like that Joyetech has offered both giving the user the option to save a couple bucks or to pop for the two pod kit. The pods are disposable and do not use replaceable coils like the Evio C2 did. There are also two different pods available in 2ml and 3ml capacities. I received the 3ml version. I would assume the 2ml version is to meet TPD requirements which is not necessary here in the U.S. where I live.
The Evio Pod kit is a bit different from the Evio C2 kit that I just reviewed before this one. I can honestly say that I like this one better than the C2 for a few reasons. First off, it is auto draw only so there is no button at all on this one. This prevents accidental firing when carrying it in a pocket. Next would be the increased battery size of 960mah versus the 800mah of the C2. More battery is always better to me. The Evio is a little thicker than the C2 and not quite as ergonomic but a trade I am more than willing to make. On the side with the Joyetech name, there is an indicator light on the very bottom that illuminates when taking a puff or charging the battery. The Evio Pod has the same indications for battery level as the C2 did which are as follows.
The pod opening on the Evio has the standard gold plated contacts to feed power to the coil and you might notice that like the C2, there are no magnets. The pods snap into the opening and are held in by the lips that stick out on either side so it takes a little effort to remove the pod. Luckily with the fill design of this one you won’t need to remove the pod very often. Also notice the airflow channel leading from the hole on the side of the Evio to the raised airflow sensor inlet. The pod has two different sized airflow channels on it to switch between MTL and RDL. I thought it was really nice that Joyetech opted to put an H and an L on the sides of the Evio to help the user keep track of which airflow type they want. So, like the C2, you insert the pod one of two ways depending on which type of vaping experience you would like. I feel like this one shows a little more difference between the two airflows than the C2 did.
The other things that made me like the Evio Pod better than the C2 is that it is a top fill design and the pod is clear instead of being tinted like the C2. You simply press on the side of the pod to slide it open and expose the fill port with the rubber gasket over the top. No need to pull the pod out to refill and you can clearly see the liquid level even when using clear liquids. It’s a little hard to see but there is a water drop shape on one side of the pod indicating which side to move the mouthpiece in order to expose the fill port.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I have very much enjoyed testing the Evio Pod Kit. I really have no complaints on this one. I preferred the pod with the larger airflow and felt quite comfortable using it as an RDL device. The lower airflow side was still a loose MTL but like the C2, I could cover the hole with a finger and get a tighter MTL.
The flavor produced was pretty good for a pod device and the amount of vapor produced was enough to be satisfying. I used the Dinner Lady Purple Rain one shot for testing the Evio and felt like it did a good job of bringing out all the flavors.
So, here’s what I like about the Evio Pod. First up is the 960mah battery in a size field where most are around 800mah. More battery is more better! Next up is that they took the time to mark each side of the device with an L and H to make it more user friendly. The increased liquid capacity of 3ml is much appreciated where once again in the pod market it seems the majority are 2ml. Finally the thing I like the most is that it is top fill and you can simply slide the top open and fill the pod without removing it. I guess if there was one thing I would change it would be to include a sliding airflow control on the side instead of just flipping the pod to change airflow. I know I’m being demanding but you know what? Some other devices I’ve tested have it all and don’t think it’s too much to ask.
So, would I recommend the Evio Pod kit from Joyetech for you? With no regrets, I really would. It’s a little thick but still very pocket friendly and had no leaking or noticeable condensation while testing it. I’d like to thank Joyetech and Adela for sending the Joyetech Evio Pod Kit for this review. Thanks again to the readers for hanging in there until the end.
