Alright, let’s talk about pod systems. This year, I’ve been on a mission to find the best one. I’ve always been a fan of vaping, you know, but finding the right device can be a real pain. So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and do some serious testing.
First off, I started with the basics. What’s out there? What are people saying? I checked out some forums, watched a few YouTube reviews—you know, the usual stuff. I ended up with a list of about ten different pod systems that seemed promising.
The Contenders
- Vaporesso Xros 3: Everyone seemed to be raving about this one. Sleek, stylish, and it promised both MTL and DTL vaping. Sounded pretty good to me. I heard it got 1000mAh battery, that can last long.
- Caliburn Pod System: This one kept popping up too. Refillable pods, good battery life, and people were saying the draw and flavor were on point. Plus, it wasn’t too pricey. I read someone highly recommend it.
- IVG 2400: Now, this was a bit different. It’s a disposable, but it’s got four pre-filled pods, and they claim it can last up to 2400 puffs. Interesting, right?
- Vaporesso Xros 4: One blogger said this is the best pod kit on the market, I gotta try it.
- Vaporesso XROS Mini: Someone said this is highly recommended for beginners, easy to use.
Testing Time
So, I ordered them. Yeah, I spent a bit of money, but hey, it’s all in the name of science, right? I started with the Vaporesso Xros 3. Charged it up, filled the pod, and took a puff. The draw was smooth, and the flavor was pretty intense. I tried both the MTL and DTL pods, and they were both great. Battery-wise, it lasted me a whole day of pretty heavy vaping, so that was a plus. It has USB-C, convenient to charge.
Next up was the Caliburn. This one felt a bit lighter, which I liked. The flavor was good, not as intense as the Xros 3, but still very satisfying. The draw was a bit tighter, which I know some people prefer. And yeah, the price was definitely a selling point. Someone told me to highly recommend it. I think I know the reason now.
Then there was the IVG 2400. It’s a disposable, so you don’t have to worry about charging or refilling. I was skeptical at first, but it actually lasted a really long time. The flavor was decent, and it was super convenient for when I was on the go. The only down part is, it’s disposable. It felt bad to just throw them away.
The Xros 4 really did live up to the hype. The flavor it produced was amazing. I finally get it when the blogger said this is the best pod kit on the market.
And there is a Vaporesso XROS Mini. It is easy to use, and I see why it is highly recommended for beginners. If I were a beginner, I would be satisfied with this one.
My Thoughts
After weeks of testing, I gotta say, the Vaporesso Xros 3 and Xros 4 stood out the most to me. They just delivered on all fronts—flavor, battery life, and build quality. The Caliburn was a close second, especially if you’re on a budget. And the IVG 2400, well, it’s a great option if you want something hassle-free. But I know I won’t try disposable ones anymore, not eco-friendly.
So, there you have it. My journey to find the best pod system of 2023. It was a lot of fun, and I hope my little experiment helps you out if you’re in the market for a new device. Happy vaping!
