Ready for takeoff? — CIGSTAR fighter jet pod kit review

After experiencing the innovations of high power, dripping oil, and mechanical rods, the small vape market saw explosive growth in 2018, allowing more and more novice users to find cigarette alternatives at a very low threshold. Small vape products are easy to use and operate simply, quickly occupying a large portion of the e-cigarette market. Various manufacturers are also brainstorming to develop new products. Today, I want to share with you a uniquely designed and memorable fighter jet small vape.

Small vape kits generally have a very compact size, and the design of the fighter jet small vape is inspired by fighter jets. As a side note, some users might feel that the appearance resembles a rocket shooting out of the clouds. After removing the packaging, you can see that besides the pod and main device, it also comes with a USB charging cable and a manual, with nothing else included.

After installing the pod, the product dimensions are 90mm*45mm, maintaining its portability. It feels comfortable to hold and carry without any pressure. Currently, the manufacturer only offers a black appearance, with both the battery body and pod having a rounded design, making it comfortable to hold.

The battery body has a built-in 500mAh capacity battery, with three LED indicators on the front. The LED red light flashes during charging, and the blue light stays on when charging is complete. The manufacturer has also considered safety, adding low voltage protection, over-draw protection, and short circuit protection. The official data claims that the battery can provide about 500 puffs when fully charged. In actual experience, it can support 300-400 puffs, which is sufficient for most users for a day's use.

The kit includes a hazelnut tobacco flavor pod with a capacity of 1.8ml and a nicotine content of 35mg. The pod is disposable and does not support refilling. Additionally, the manufacturer offers cucumber and lemon cake flavor pods as options.

The pod is semi-transparent, allowing for easy observation of the remaining e-liquid.

The usage method is similar to other small vape products; simply insert the pod into the battery body and inhale. It has an air-sensing switch, so just pick it up to vape. When not in use, the device automatically enters sleep mode to save battery.

The most concerning aspects are the draw resistance, pod flavor, and ignition speed. The draw resistance is on the lighter side of high resistance, similar to the draw resistance of smoking a cigarette. The sensitivity of the pneumatic switch is excellent; when you start inhaling, it ignites almost instantly, with a very brief flavorless period that is hard to notice.

The hazelnut tobacco pod provides a very rich hazelnut flavor upon the first inhale, with the tobacco aroma being extremely faint. The hazelnut flavor is well-represented, and the addition of tobacco aroma enhances the already rich flavor experience.

The cucumber flavor pod is simply the common cucumber flavor we usually encounter. If you feel a bit overwhelmed after a long session with the hazelnut tobacco, switching to the cucumber flavor pod is just right.

The lemon cake pod also performs very well. The tangy lemon flavor is one of the favorites among many users, and when mixed with creamy cake, both flavors are fully showcased.

Overall, the unique design leaves a deep impression, and the instant ignition experience, along with the nearly imperceptible flavorless period, adds significant value to this product. The 35mg nicotine content provides a good throat hit for users, earning high ratings from first-time users. In today's market where small vape products are highly homogenized, the fighter jet small vape kit is sure to carve out its own niche.
