Today, Qiangxin is bringing you the SALTY BASTARD STARTER KIT, created in collaboration with the KADO STEALTH pod device!
The kit comes in a premium gift box with an elegant matte black finish, giving off a steady, businesslike style. Inside are the KADO pod device, dedicated pod, charging cable (Android/Micro-USB spec), one 10ml bottle of SALTY BASTARD nicotine salt e-liquid, a user manual, warranty card, and feedback card.
KADO device specifications: 80mm x 45mm x 9.5mm, weighing 60g. The built-in 450mAh lithium battery provides solid battery life. The metal body uses a rubberized coating, and both the feel in hand and overall texture are absolutely top-notch. Its curved lines are highly design-forward, slim, and smooth, and it is available in five colors.
It uses a magnetic pod design that supports refilling. Through the transparent pod, you can see that it uses a cotton-and-coil structure, which should provide better e-liquid wicking than a ceramic coil. Pod capacity is 2ml, which is more than enough for nicotine salt use.
The kit includes the latest SALTY BASTARD Tobacco Ice (25mg) nicotine salt e-liquid, so without further delay, fill it up and start testing right away!
When filling, a rich buttery tobacco aroma bursts out from this little 10ml bottle. The fill port is located at the bottom of the pod; when installing it, remember to press it inward to ensure a proper seal between the pod and the device. The mouthpiece is positioned on one corner, so users who prefer a centered, symmetrical design may need a little time to get used to it.
It uses an inhale-activated air switch, but activation requires a fairly strong draw. I found myself taking a short first puff to wake the device up, then using the second puff for actual vaping. (Not sure whether this was for safety reasons or simply a design shortcoming.)
The device delivers strong output, even vaporization, and dense vapor, bringing out every flavor element beautifully. The butter note is rich, the tobacco is mellow and full-bodied, and the cream aroma is fragrant. The overall mouthfeel is soft, smooth, and delicate, while the throat hit is rounded yet satisfying—great for cravings.
KADO’s body design and hand feel are highly appealing. The streamlined appearance is something you’ll fall for at first sight, and it’s very practical and convenient to use. Operation is simple, and it’s ready to vape right out of the box!
Finally, there is one area where I hope the manufacturer can improve things. Because the air switch requires quite a strong draw to activate, lighter inhales may sometimes fail to trigger it. Taking long, hard puffs over time can get tiring. I’d recommend improving the seal between the pod and device as well as the sensitivity of the air switch—doing so would make the overall experience even better!
Welcome to a whole new salt era, and here’s hoping for more products with different experiences! STOP SMOKING! LET'S VAPING!
