CISOO Scream Pod Kit Review

Appearance:

This time, we received the CISOO Scream pod device. The packaging is quite simple, but this does not affect the vaping experience. Eliminating unnecessary designs benefits the users. The device is made of aluminum alloy with an integrated body. The pod and device connect magnetically, and the airflow inlet is hidden at the bottom near the charging port, so there's no worry about the pod being ejected; the magnetic strength is very strong. Rating: 8/10

Flavor Reproduction and Throat Hit:

The Scream kit comes with one pod. Different color kits come with different flavored pods: the Ice Blue version has a Polar Green Bean flavor; the Bright Moon White version has a Pure Old Ice Pop flavor; the Amber Yellow version has a Sunshine Grapefruit flavor; the Graphite Black version has a Nutty Tobacco flavor; and the Magma Red version has a Snow Mountain Watermelon flavor. The pod has a capacity of 1.5ml, with a ceramic core heating material, a resistance of 1 ohm, and an output power of 8 watts.

Deep Sea Lychee: Nicotine content is 3%. The throat hit is relatively weak. The main flavor is the sweet lychee flesh, with a slight astringency from the lychee skin, creating a harmonious blend. If a bit of acidity were added, it would be more dimensional. The flavoring is quite natural, with no noticeable artificial taste. Rating: 8.5/10

Tianshan Grape: Nicotine content is 3%. The throat hit is satisfying. The sweet grape juice is complemented by crushed grape skins and a hint of grape seeds, with a slight tannic bitterness. This grape flavor is quite unique, though the tannins may take some getting used to. Rating: 8/10

Snow Mountain Watermelon: Nicotine content is 3%. The throat hit is moderate. The main flavor is watermelon rind, followed by watermelon juice as a complement, with a sweetness slightly above average. This watermelon flavor is refreshing without the strong bubblegum taste, leaving a clear and juicy watermelon juice experience. Rating: 8/10

Ice Mint: Nicotine content is 3%. The throat hit is moderate. This is a pure mint flavor extracted from mint leaves, with a rich herbal aroma, providing a natural vaping experience. Unfortunately, the flavor continuity decreases slightly with continuous puffs, and the aftertaste could be more robust. Rating: 8/10

Taro Ice Cream: Nicotine content is 3%. The throat hit is moderate. The initial flavor is a rich creamy taste, with a high cooling sensation, making it the brightest among these flavors. Unfortunately, the taro flavor is not very natural and is overshadowed by the creaminess, leading to a somewhat muddled flavor profile. Rating: 7.5/10

Nutty Tobacco: Nicotine content is 3%. The throat hit is satisfying. This flavor is distinctly nutty tobacco, with a medium roast bean aroma mixed with herbal tobacco notes, primarily featuring a roasted flavor without any unpleasant tar taste. Personally, I am not accustomed to tobacco flavors in e-cigarettes, but veteran smokers might find it worth trying. Rating: 7.5/10

White Peach Oolong: Nicotine content is 3%. The throat hit is moderate. The main flavor is oolong tea, with a rich tea aroma. The flavoring is slightly heavy, and the peach flavor is not very prominent; after continuous puffs, the peach flavor becomes nearly undetectable. The sweetness seems to come more from the tea than the white peach, which is somewhat disappointing. Rating: 6.5/10

Polar Green Bean: Nicotine content is 3%. The throat hit is relatively weak. The flavor is like green bean paste without the beaniness, with a moderate cooling sensation. The sweetness is too high, making it cloying and difficult to vape continuously. Rating: 6/10

Sunshine Grapefruit: This is a non-nicotine version (referred to as "vapor drink" later). The flavor is uniquely grapefruit, with a slight acidity and moderate sweetness, blending naturally. It masks the bitterness and some astringency of the grapefruit, while the delicate grapefruit juice remains distinct. The overall tone is subtle and low-key, with a natural aftertaste and consistent flavor experience throughout. This is an excellent grapefruit flavor! Rating: 10/10

Mild Dried Tangerine Peel: This is a non-nicotine vapor drink version. It is indeed mild, with a soft and unique aroma of dried tangerine peel, with a hint of citrus astringency. The aftertaste is like drinking warm water infused with dried tangerine peel, providing a smooth and natural experience. Rating: 9/10

Pure Old Ice Pop: This is a non-nicotine vapor drink version. The initial flavor is a strong sugary taste reminiscent of the old ice pops from childhood. However, the aftertaste shifts towards a minty gum flavor, and the continuity of flavor and aftertaste needs improvement. Rating: 7.5/10

Tranquil Ice Green Tea: This is a non-nicotine vapor drink version. The first puff feels like vaping matcha, with a strong tea polyphenol flavor combined with creamy sweetness. The aftertaste truly reflects the experience of drinking strong tea. For pure tea flavors, the flavoring is a bit heavy and feels overly deliberate. Rating: 6.5/10

Oil Leakage:

The round pod design features a cross-core protective structure, ensuring even air pressure. The pod is sealed with silicone plugs at both ends, and there is no oil leakage before unsealing or during use. Rating: 10/10

Condensation Liquid:

The correct inhalation posture is crucial; avoid lying down, side inhaling, or reverse inhaling, as this is common knowledge for using pod devices. The pod's airflow path is long, and the vapor drink version may occasionally lead to slight inhalation of condensation liquid. Overall, this is acceptable. I personally suggest adding a Y-shaped airflow path at the top of the mouthpiece or increasing friction on the airflow wall to enhance condensation retention and minimize inhalation of condensation liquid. Rating: 8/10

Oil Explosion:

No oil explosion phenomenon was encountered. Rating: 10/10

Burnt Core:

No issues were encountered with continuous inhalation at normal frequency. Rating: 10/10

Battery Life:

The battery capacity is 350mAh, using a Micro USB charging interface. Rating: 7/10

Overall Evaluation:

Flavor is one of the most important aspects of e-cigarettes. After tasting, I found several flavors to be outstanding, with natural flavoring and clear layers. The non-nicotine vapor drink version of Sunshine Grapefruit maintains excellent continuity without noticeable fading, and it doesn't feel hollow, remaining consistently full. The device is made of quality aluminum alloy, with a skin-friendly coating and pen-like shape, making it comfortable to hold and play with.
