VooPoo VMate i2
VooPoo VMate i2 1.jpg
VooPoo has decided to bring another POD type device to the market, in this case they have called it VMate i2 and its main objective is to provide a longer battery life than the other pods, increasing this to 1500mAh and adding the famous pods known as 3X, by increasing both the longetivity, leakproof and flavor.

A big thank you to the VooPoo team for making this review possible. You can visit their website and learn more about the VMate i2.

Packaging
ReLens_IMG_20240822134037.jpg

The product is packaged in a small rectangular box. On the front of the box is the brand and model of the product, as well as a photo that I believe matches the color of the device. On the other side we find some geometric decorations, again, in accordance with the chosen color.

On the back of the box we are informed of the contents of the box, as well as some contact addresses, some logos and some warnings. On the other hand I warn you that this unit is a sample, so it could differ slightly if someone buys the product.

In the box;
1* VMate i2 Device
1* VMate 0.7Ω Cartridge
1* Type-C Cable
1* User Manual

One thing I don't like about this packaging is its cheap feel. When we open it we don't even find a pad to hold the device or anything like that, just a piece of plastic lying in there. I know it doesn't affect the performance of the VMate but I think it's worth mentioning, even knowing that normally the box is usually thrown away after taking it out of it.

Device Inspection

This is the front of the device. As you can see, this particular unit creates a fade between a slightly orangey yellow and a pink, creating a really nice combination. On the other hand it has a decoration created based on straight lines and curves, which gives an aesthetic touch and does not leave it flat. In the center we find some branding not too much singing.

The device in general has a rectangular shape with practically all the edges rounded. In terms of materials it is quite resistant, as its body has been created based on Aluminum Alloy, which also makes it very light and very comfortable in hand.

In the upper area we can see the cartridge, which is inserted and has a kind of relief to be removed and inserted more easily.

On the back we continue with the same decoration, some branding indicating the model of the device in the center and an air inlet and regulation at the top.

The air inlet is composed of a large and a small hole when fully open and a very small one when fully closed. It has a very good hardness, making it immovable if it is in our pocket. On the other hand, this could be a very good device for MTL vapers, since once closed, it provides a very good hit in this way.

Overall I am very pleased with this air intake, while with the VMate Max I noticed that it lacked some resistance when completely closed, I think they have nailed it with this one.

On one of the sides there is an LED bar that has several functions. On the one hand, it is a real-time indicator of the battery, the LEDs will go out proportionally from top to bottom, thus indicating approximately the battery level. I must say that it is not very intuitive and I prefer the classic percentage or color indicators, even so, it is not a bad option at all.

Besides that, which is its main function, it has a decorative function to give the puffs, as it will look almost like a colorful disco.

The POD-Battery connection is made as usual by magnets, which after several tests, I can say that they are quite strong and keep the cartridge in position.

To refill the cartridge is done through one of its sides, opening the small silicone flap and filling the 3mL of liquid. On the other hand, comment that I find a very comfortable cartridge in the mouth, it feels very good and is pleasant to vape.

Vaping Time
I want to talk first about the sensations in hand. It feels like a very light device and very comfortable in hand, besides being very pocket-sized and can be carried anywhere without worry and without taking up much space.

As for its performance, I noticed a very good battery life, even lasting almost a full day. But where VooPoo products really stand out lately is in the field of cartridges. These provide an exceptional flavor and a quite considerable amount of vapor.

Speaking of cartridge, here's my conclusion about the only one included in the packaging.

0.7Ω pod; This pod is designed for more restricted vaping, ranging from RDL to MTL depending on air settings. As with all VooPoo pods lately, the flavor it provides is spectacular. As for its durability, I must admit that I used it with a coil killer liquid and even so, it lasted me about a week.

Little else I have to say about the device, I feel it is well built and very user-friendly, especially for someone who is just starting out in vaping.

Conclusion
Simply put, another good POD from VooPoo that incorporates the new improved coil platform. It has a good feel in the hand, a very very good MTL and is very easy to carry around. Definitely recommended for someone just starting out.
