Vaping 360: OVNS Saber All-in-One Vape Review

  Over the past while, we’ve seen more and more all-in-one vaping devices flooding the market, and the OVNS Saber is one of them. The Saber comes at an affordable price and uses a refillable 1.8 ml pod. The device has a built-in 400 mAh battery, a 1.8-ohm coil, and natural cotton inside. At the same time, the Saber also features a colorful LED light that illuminates when the user takes a puff. Let’s take a look at how the Saber actually performs.

  At first, vaping devices usually carried very high price tags, but over the past few years we have seen prices gradually come down. At the same time, vaping has also become more popular. The OVNS Saber is an affordable all-in-one vaping device, and it’s easy to compare it with a similar product — the Warlock Peas from Rofvape.   The Saber’s design looks like an enlarged Bo One. Aside from requiring a charging cable, the Saber is very similar to the Warlock Peas in terms of features. It is a bit slimmer than the Vapeccino Mate and also shorter in length. It weighs 22.5 g, slightly heavier than the Juul and about half the weight of the Vapeccino Mate.   The Saber uses blue LED lights to indicate remaining battery life — 3 LEDs mean more than 70% charge remaining, 2 LEDs mean 30–70%, and 1 LED means less than 30%.   So what makes the Saber different from other products? Mainly, it adds a decorative LED light strip. When the user takes a puff, the strip lights up in a range of colors. The LED strip does not have a control switch and cannot be turned off manually. It is automatically activated whenever the user inhales.   Although refilling the pod is not complicated, it is not easy enough to let you top up e-liquid anytime while on the move. To refill, you need to remove the mouthpiece, open the sealing plug on the pod, and then fill it. The pod can be filled with a glass dropper, but if possible, a needle-tip bottle is recommended.   Although the pod and battery connect magnetically, the pod does not sit completely flush, which is a bit disappointing. If the magnets were stronger, or at least if the pod fit perfectly against the device body, the Saber would offer a better overall experience. However, on another Saber unit we tested, the magnetic connection was noticeably stronger.   So far, I’ve used the Saber for about a week, and the new pod was impressive in actual use. First of all, the draw is very similar to the Phix: tight and quiet, almost like vaping on an atomizer with the airflow nearly closed off. Because the coil uses natural cotton, the pod delivers better flavor than similar products. The throat hit is also excellent, especially when using high-strength nicotine e-liquid.   The Saber produces vapor on par with the Juul, so don’t expect it to deliver massive clouds. In public, if you cover the LED strip while using the Saber, it can be very discreet.   The Saber performs quite well in battery life. Considering its output voltage is only 7.2V, you can usually finish the e-liquid in the pod before the battery runs out. It charges through the USB port on the bottom and supports pass-through vaping while charging. Charging takes about 45 minutes. Once fully charged, the LED turns green.   During use, the Saber did not suffer from leaking or firing failures. The only real issue was the short lifespan of the pods. After two refills, flavor performance dropped noticeably and was accompanied by a burnt taste. After replacing the pod, the lifespan remained about the same. Although the pods are inexpensive, such a short service life is still disappointing.   However, when using the third pod, I tried some high-VG e-liquid, and surprisingly there was no burnt hit. At the same time, the pod lasted longer, and the flavor was still strong even after three refills.   Another issue: among the several Saber units tested, one had some warping at the bottom, located beneath the LED strip. Although this is not a major problem, it is worth noting, and hopefully it can be improved in future production.   Overall, the Saber gave me a somewhat mixed experience. For a low-cost device, it performs very well, but I also hope OVNS improves its quality control further, because the Saber has strong potential to become a popular product for entry-level users. In general, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses, but some of those weaknesses could still affect purchasing decisions.   During testing, we used a total of three pods, and two of them did not last as long as I had hoped. In addition, of the two review units, one had somewhat rough build quality. Based on experience, the Rofvape Warlock Peas may be the better choice, with a lower price and longer pod life. Although the Saber is very enjoyable to use, and I personally like it a lot, if the pod lifespan issue is not resolved, I may not be able to recommend it to other users.   Translated and adapted from Vaping 360 #p#Page Break Title#e#
