The SMOANT KARTA pod system features a predominantly white packaging design, complemented by colorful renderings of the device on the cover! The top right corner indicates the color of each device, with five color options available from the official release! The bottom left corner displays the name of the KARTA device!
The packaging is a flip-top style, and the KARTA device I received is in a rainbow color, with vibrant and glossy spray-painted colors! The gradient texture is excellent!
Included items: KARTA pod device (with cartridge), USB charging cable, user manual, warranty card, and certificate of conformity.
【Device】
The KARTA pod device's appearance resembles its name "KARAT," featuring diamond-cut style lines! The device has sharp angles, and its robust appearance gives a solid craftsmanship feel! The color features a high gradient aesthetic!
KARTA dimensions: 88*48*12mm, made of zinc alloy material, with a matte spray-painted body! It is compact, and the flat body fits snugly in hand, with a built-in 370mAh battery that provides a full day of use!
The middle of the device features a diamond-shaped logo with the KARTA name and an LED indicator light, but it is not the ignition button! The KARTA uses an air switch, igniting upon inhalation!
The KARTA uses a traditional magnetic cartridge attachment method! Two gold-plated electrodes are visible between the air switch intake!
The USB charging port is located at the bottom side of the device, showcasing the excellent color transition of the spray-painted finish! The lines are very pronounced!
The bottom of the device has two lanyard holes, allowing you to attach your favorite lanyard and wear it as an accessory!
【Cartridge】
The KARTA cartridge is made of PC material, with a cutting design that fits the device's shape! It is fully transparent, making it easy to observe the capacity! The capacity is 2ML, with a resistance of 1.3Ω! The atomization core uses a relatively new quartz core as the main feature!
The KARTA cartridge's drip tip is straight, providing a better feel for the lips while also enhancing the flavor! It offers a high degree of flavor restoration for mouth-to-lung hits!
The bottom features two corresponding magnetic contacts, with small intake holes and gold-plated electrodes!
The bottom has a large soft pad for silicone plugs, one side for filling and the other for pressure relief, making it more convenient for refilling without worrying about spills, compared to the S8 single hole design!
The highlight of the KARTA is its use of a quartz core, which is an improvement over ceramic cores, as the quartz core has better oil absorption and heat conduction, resulting in a more delicate flavor! The honeycomb structure of the quartz core allows the e-liquid to be absorbed into countless tiny pores before being heated and atomized, achieving a concentrated effect!
【User Experience】
The KARTA's aesthetics are my favorite among pod systems since 2018! The overall feel in hand is very comfortable, and it fits perfectly in the hand! Compared to the rounded S8, I prefer the feel that the KARTA provides! The draw resistance of the KARTA is relatively tight, which may be a bit unfamiliar for those used to lung hits! However, it does not hinder its excellent flavor restoration! Paired with an appropriate nicotine salt e-liquid, it provides a satisfying flavor experience!
【Conclusion】
When comparing KARTA to S8, the KARTA is undoubtedly superior! Although they share many similarities, the concept of the quartz core is enough to give you a fresh experience among pod systems! Moreover, the KARTA's aesthetics and craftsmanship highlight the "style" that a vape should have!
