AKSO Pod Vape Review

Since the beginning of the past two years, the market for pod vapes has gradually warmed up, with more and more pod devices entering the players' view. Since 2018, the pod market has shown explosive growth. This is closely related to the compact and portable size of pod devices and their strong practicality as a smoking alternative. Today, we bring you the HCIGAR AKSO pod vape, another device that has entered this competitive pod market. Experienced vapers are likely familiar with HCIGAR, which established a very positive image in players' minds through its VT series products, and the popularity of the VT device has secured HCIGAR a place in the e-cigarette market.
 
AKSO pod vape
 
Brand new original e-cigarette
 
A device that can help quit smoking
 
AKSO has abandoned the typical business style of pod products, adopting a very simple packaging design. Inside the package, players will find a device, three pods, a USB charging cable, and a warranty card. The back of the packaging clearly introduces the product's features and the included accessories, along with manufacturer information and an official anti-counterfeiting code for authenticity assurance!

The pod device is available in four colors: black, gray, red, and blue. Personally, I really like the gray and black options for their elegant appearance!

AKSO comes with three pods, with flavors including nut tobacco, mint, and mixed fruit, catering to different users' flavor preferences.

AKSO features a rounded design with a smooth aluminum body, providing a lightweight and compact grip experience. The device measures 108mm x 20mm x 9.5mm, allowing users to easily fit it in their pockets or bags, with an overall size similar to that of a lighter, making it very convenient and portable. The design is neither monotonous nor extravagant, showcasing excellent craftsmanship without any cheap feel, characterized by simplicity and elegance with exquisite details.

The device is equipped with a built-in 420mAh battery, which the manufacturer claims can provide around 300 puffs. This is sufficient for daily use, and the charging time is 1.5 hours, allowing for normal use while charging, so users need not worry about battery life. The bottom charging port uses a USB Type-C connection, which is currently the most widely used interface.

The bottom of the pod device has a battery indicator light: blue indicates 70%-100% battery, green indicates 20%-70%, and red indicates below 20%. Despite its compact size, AKSO still includes standard protection features such as short circuit, overcharge, and low voltage protection, allowing users to identify issues through the indicator light's color and flashing frequency.

AKSO pods are designed to be leak-proof.

The pod design is interesting, featuring a snap-in design that makes a crisp "click" sound when inserted into the device, ensuring a secure fit for easy and quick use. The airflow is bottom-fed, with visible air holes on the inside of the device.

Each pod has a capacity of 1.5ml and a resistance of 1.8 ohms, designed for single-use and not refillable, with an estimated usage of about 300 puffs, matching the device's battery life. The core feature of the device is its ceramic coil technology, which has consistently provided a great experience in previous products equipped with ceramic coils.

AKSO pods come in 14 flavors

Currently, AKSO pods offer 14 flavors (classic tobacco, nut tobacco, Virginia tobacco, ice-baked tobacco, afternoon coffee, butter mango, mango smoothie, green bean smoothie, lemon tea, lavender, mint, strawberry impression, lychee ice, mixed fruit), providing a variety of options to satisfy different users' flavor preferences. After personal testing, I found each flavor to be enjoyable, with personal recommendations for several flavors (green bean, mint, afternoon coffee, nut tobacco, mango smoothie).

The airflow resistance of the pods is excellently tuned, providing a smooth and moderate draw experience. Whether you prefer direct lung hits or mouth-to-lung, you can enjoy a great flavor experience without any harshness or throat irritation. Users who have tried various pod products will notice that some pods can be harsh, leading to negative experiences that may deter new users from vaping. However, after personal testing over time, I did not encounter any of these negative experiences!

IQOS, LIL, AKSO

The airflow holes on the pods are located on either side of the contact points, allowing airflow to enter from both sides and converge into the internal airway of the pod, effectively preventing condensation from flowing back up. Additionally, the bottom of the pod is designed to store any accumulated condensation, which is why AKSO has not experienced significant condensation issues or leaks. For those looking for a smoking alternative, a leak-proof pod with a satisfying throat hit and high flavor fidelity is sufficient for most users. The overall experience can be described as comfortable, with no complicated operations; simply insert the pod and start using it. For smokers who have never used e-cigarettes before, they can easily get started, satisfying cravings with just a few puffs!

Currently popular smoking alternatives include heated tobacco products like IQOS and LIL. After comparing experiences, I personally prefer the healthier option of vapor e-cigarettes, which serve as a second alternative for IQOS users, allowing for a similar experience but in a healthier way!
