Earlier, I introduced several pod systems to everyone, and today I will provide another option for you! This pod system—the Smoant S8 pod kit! Smoant has always been known for its high cost-performance ratio among users. As pod systems rapidly gain popularity in the vaping market, Smoant has also decided to launch its own pod product! Born from this trend—the S8 pod! How will it perform?
【Packaging】
The S8's packaging adopts a black business style, with a sturdy black box featuring the black S8 device as the cover. The S8 is available in red, yellow, black, pink, and other colors, but the packaging is uniformly black! Each color can be identified by the label in the upper left corner!
The back is specially printed with a Chinese list, including the product list! It also features a large "Made in China" label! Smoant, as a mature vaping brand, indeed considers China as its main market! Positive reviews in Chinese!
Upon opening the box, you can see that in addition to the S8 device, a 10ML nicotine salt e-liquid is also included! For this refillable S8 pod, the 2ML capacity pod combined with the provided 10ML e-liquid equals having five 2ML capacity pods! No wonder Smoant is known for its high cost-performance ratio!
Contents: S8 device, 2ML pod, USB charging cable, refill bottle, 10ML Conqueror e-liquid, Chinese manual, Conqueror e-liquid introduction, after-sales card, etc!
【Device】
The S8 measures 86MM in length, 48MM in width, and 12MM in thickness. The entire body is flat, rounded, and has a unique shape, resembling a car key or a pebble! The one I received is yellow, with a piano lacquer spray finish that gives it a delicate gloss and full texture. The streamlined body looks quite comfortable!
The S8 device has a USB charging port located at the bottom side, with a built-in 370mAh battery and an output power of 3.3V-3.4V. It features protections against low battery, overcharging, short circuits, and draw time! Small but complete!
Removing the atomizer reveals that the device and pod use strong magnetic adsorption! The pull force is moderate, and the electrodes are gold-plated! There are two LED lights on each side to indicate battery status with red and blue lights, and a blue light flashes when the pod is inserted or removed!
【Pod】
The S8 uses an air switch, with the pod featuring a 1.3Ω heating wire and a durable 2ML capacity! A single refill can satisfy a day's worth of usage. The flat drip tip fits comfortably on the lips, suitable for mouth-to-lung vaping!
The bottom of the pod has a refill port; just lift the refill plug to inject e-liquid directly from the bottle. Nicotine salt e-liquids are more suitable for pod systems! Pods are not very compatible with glass refill syringes, so Smoant thoughtfully includes a small refill bottle! Very considerate!
【Grip】
The overall grip of the Smoant S8 is very smooth. The streamlined body does not feel awkward in hand; on the contrary, it feels quite comfortable. Although it is slightly larger than the pen-style pods on the market, the hand feel is indeed very pleasant! I prefer the solid feel of the Smoant over the lighter pen-style pods!
The Conqueror e-liquid paired with the S8 has a raspberry flavor, combining raspberry with tobacco! It has a slight fruity acidity on the inhale, a moderate throat hit, and a fragrant tobacco aroma on the exhale, with a well-defined layering—first the raspberry acidity followed by the richness of tobacco! The flavor performance of the S8 is quite impressive!
Of course, besides raspberry, there are other flavors available such as mint bubblegum, grape trio, green tea cake, and coffee soda.
【Conclusion】
The Smoant S8's simple appearance, smooth grip, portability, and excellent flavor performance will surely inject new life into the pod market! Users can also choose from various stylish pod designs according to their preferences! For those who do not like the single pen-style pods, the Smoant S8 is also a great choice! Additionally, Smoant has thoughtfully addressed the issue of e-liquid selection for users, returning the choice of flavors to them and providing original factory e-liquids for practical experience suggestions, defining a standard flavor experience for many new users. Thumbs up for such an operation! With such a high cost-performance ratio, are you tempted?
