Klaipeng S8 Refillable Pod Vaping Kit Review

The so-called "small cigarette" is designed to meet the mouth-to-lung usage style, achieving high resistance and low vapor output to create a cigarette-like effect. With the integration of nicotine salt technology into e-liquid formulations, the user base aiming to quit smoking has increased, leading to the emergence of many "small cigarettes". Today, I will share the "S8 vaping kit" from Klaipeng, which falls into this category.

The compact black packaging highlights the product's general outline, with an overall business style. The accessory table and manufacturer information are entirely in Chinese, reflecting Klaipeng's consistent rigorous attitude. The prominent "Made in China" label is particularly eye-catching, and as a mature e-cigarette brand, its anti-counterfeiting measures are very effective.

The reason it is called a "kit" is that the packaging contains a wealth of accessories. In addition to the device itself, it also includes: 1 data cable, 1 after-sales service card, 1 quality inspection card, 1 fruit-flavored e-liquid, 1 needle-tip filling bottle, 1 user manual, and 1 e-liquid introduction card. Notably, the included needle-tip filling bottle is very necessary, as the S8's filling hole is relatively small, and using a traditional glass dropper may cause leaking.
Regarding the randomly included 10ml 2% nicotine salt e-liquid, there are five flavors: raspberry tobacco, mint bubblegum, grape trio, green tea cake, and coffee soda. Since it uses refillable pods, users have a lot of freedom in choosing e-liquids, not limited to the official recommendations.

The overall shape of the S8 resembles a pebble, being flat and rounded, with dimensions of 86.6*48*12.8mm, making it feel like a car key in hand. The blue version I received has a surface that employs a piano lacquer finish, which is dark yet very delicate, with a cold and smooth texture. The streamlined design looks very refined.

The USB charging port is located on the side of the device, and the S8 has a built-in 370mAh battery, with an output power of 3.3-3.4V, which is sufficient for a day's normal use. Through the top, you can see the internal LED light indicator; when the remaining battery is below 30%, a red light will illuminate, and above that, a blue light will show, remaining on when fully charged.

The pod and main unit use magnetic adsorption, with moderate resistance when pulling out, and the fixed slot is deep enough to prevent looseness. Before first use, the insulating film on the electrode must be removed. The pod does not have a dust cover, so cleanliness should be maintained during use. It employs an automatic air switch, allowing for use without complicated operations.

The 1.3Ω heating wire data makes the 2ml capacity pod very durable, with one filling sufficient for a day of frequent use. The central coil and airway allow the cotton to absorb e-liquid from both sides, and the flat mouthpiece meets both mouth-to-lung and direct lung inhalation needs. Due to data limitations, the S8 has limited flavor reproduction, so it is recommended to use nicotine salts or e-liquids above 6mg to achieve a rich and satisfying experience.
By peeling off the adhesive seal at the bottom of the pod, you can see the narrow filling hole. Most e-liquid bottles can be filled directly, but using the manufacturer's compatible syringe bottle is more convenient. Since the oil chamber is distributed at both ends, it is necessary to shake it left and right during filling to ensure even storage.

The silicone cap of this pod has excellent airtightness, preventing leakage. However, when using a brand new pod for the first time, due to the cotton core's absorption speed, to protect the cotton from dry burning before it is fully saturated, please let it sit for a few minutes after filling before normal use.

After a few days of use, I found that the S8 produces smooth vapor, and even prolonged inhalation does not become too hot. The 2ml oil capacity completely avoids frequent refilling, and the battery life exceeds expectations, although frequent use may cause heating. Although slightly heavier than typical tube-style devices, its rounded and compact size makes it very portable. Due to the product's sealing design, condensation at the mouthpiece is unavoidable, so it can be wiped before use.

The S8's reusable pods greatly reduce usage costs, and the delicate paintwork and rounded ergonomic design meet public aesthetic standards. In terms of cost-effectiveness and portability, this S8 from Klaipeng meets my current perfect requirements for a small cigarette.
