Joyetech Ego Pod Kit Review

Joyetech Ego Pod Kit Review

Good morning and welcome back to The Best E-Cigarette Blog! As you are probably aware, this month is Swaptober month which is where we encourage those who are smoking to make the switch to vaping and quit the habit for good. One issue is that vaping has become this complex world where picking your first kit can be hard. Of course here at The Best E-Cigarette, we want to pick the right kit for the right person, and recently I have discovered you can’t go far wrong with the Joyetech eGo Pod Kit. We were sent a sample for me to try, and I loved it so much we ended up stocking the device! For this reason, I figured I would do a full review about this kit.

Please note, this review is not endorsed by anyone, it’s a full, unbiased review on the eGo Pod kit and all opinions on this kit are my own.

Look of the device

The kit itself is sleek and lightweight and also very simplistic in its design which I think is great for a new vaper. The device comes in four different colours; Black, Silver, Blue and Rainbow (Irredesence if you want to be fancy). There are no buttons on this device which means it’s draw activated, another plus for a new vaper as it’s as close to a cigarette as possible.

The pod section itself is also built well with a sturdy construction made from plastic which houses the built-in coil. It is a bottom fill but has a child-proof valve which we will look into more in the next section.

These are the four colours available: Rainbow/Black/Silver/Blue

Operation

The operation of this kit is pretty simple which again suits new vapers down to the ground. To fill the pod, simply pick your favourite juice (I’ve gone with the Exotic Delight from British Blend) and push it into the silver fill port/valve that’s at the base of the pod itself. This should push the valve inwards to allow liquid in. From there just squeeze the bottle until the pod is full. As with any coil, make sure you give the pod a good few minutes to prime (soak) the coil inside to avoid instantly burning the coil out!

For using the device, place your pod into the battery; you’ll be able to turn the pod so it clicks into place. This is because the little ridge on the pod fits nicely into the opening of the battery. It’s also magnetized making it more secure and on top of all that, the LED light on the battery will flash white when the pod is installed correctly.

To actually use the device, just inhale on the kit just like you would on a normal cigarette and it’ll power straight up. I’ve been very impressed with how quickly it does this!

The LED light will flash white when a pod is installed, will also glow white when in use.

Battery & Pod Lifespan

The battery on this device, I’ve got to say is a bit mindblowing! I know that sounds a bit extreme but I’ll explain. The battery capacity of the kit is only 1000mAh which we know isn’t huge, however after using this device for the best part of a month, I’ve only really had to charge it once every two days.

I think this is down to the resistance of the pods since they are only 1.2ohm and don’t draw out tonnes of power from the device. This makes this a major pro in my opinion and that’s not to mention that the pods tend to last around 3 weeks in my experience.

The flavour is absolutely spot on too; the Exotic Delight liquid I was using tasted better in this that I’d ever experienced with any other starter kit I’ve tried! This kit also produces a decent level of vapour so you definitely know you’ve had a good drag!

Final Thoughts

Overall I think this truly is the best starter kit for anyone looking to quit smoking and start vaping. As I said with my concerns for this kit are quite minor as the kit works the way it is supposed to work, to replicate the feeling of smoking which it does extremely well with the breath activated draw.
