The Vapengin Venus presents an eco-friendly alternative to single-use disposable vapes while matching their convenience. The innovative pod system reuses the compact Venus battery while you only replace the disposable pods. We put it through extensive testing to analyze performance.
Overview of the Vapengin Venus Pod Kit
The starter kit includes the slim Venus device with a built-in 500mAh battery alongside one flavored pod of your choice. Extra pods come in packs of two.
The 2ml pods contain 20mg nicotine salts for faster satisfaction. Each pre-filled pod lasts around 600 puffs before replacing, similar to a disposable.
Inhaling on the mouthpiece automatically activates the battery to produce vapor. There's no buttons or settings to fiddle with.
Key Features:
- 500mAh Reusable Battery
- 2ml Prefilled Pods
- 20mg Nicotine Salts
- 10 Flavors Available
- Draw-Activated Firing
- 600 Puffs Per Pod
While less eco-friendly than a refillable vape tank, the Venus produces far less waste than continually discarding disposable vapes with the battery and plastic housing.
Unboxing and Review of Kit Contents
The starter kit arrives neatly packaged but lacks any included instructions. As the target market covers vaping newcomers transitioning from disposables, an informational manual seems necessary.
Inside the box, we found the Venus battery sealed in plastic alongside one flavored pod, also carefully encased to prevent leaks. However, while thoughtful, it does add to disposable plastic waste.
The exterior box details the chosen pod flavor, warnings, and authenticity verification. The back lists manufacturer information and ingredients.
Overview of the Venus Device Design
Sporting a slim transparent plastic chassis, the lightweight Venus device focuses on portability and ergonomics. It measures in at just 95mm x 20mm 13mm.
The colorful pod shows through the clear shell, becoming the main design eye-catcher. The pod clicks securely into place aided by strong magnets.
An LED battery life indicator shines through when fired, almost making the whole device glow for a slick modern look. We especially liked the chrome metallic base which further accents the futuristic aesthetic.
The duck-bill style mouthpiece proved extremely comfortable during testing. And the angled air inlet design prevents leakage effectively.
Reviewing the Flavor Variety of the Pods
With 10 flavor options currently available, the prefilled pods offer a wide selection:
- Banana Ice
- Tropical Rainbow Sky
- Strawberry Watermelon
- Cherry Ice
- Cool Mint
And more...
The flavored e-liquid contains a 50VG/50PG ratio to work optimally with the mesh coils inside the pods for enhanced flavor production.
Each pod comes verified and sealed in plastic with packaging details matching the Venus kit box. We had no leaks with any of the test pods.
Getting Started Guide and Overview
The straightforward operation makes the Venus ideal for beginners. Here are the basic run-through:
- No power button, auto-draw activated
- Inhale on mouthpiece to vape
- Blue battery light indicates firing
- Glowing light signals low power
- Fully charges in 1-1.5 hours
After removing the protective seals on a new pod, it clicks magnetically into the pod bay ready for action.
Analyzing the Vaping Experience and Flavor Notes
Testing an assortment of flavors, we assessed the vapor quality, flavor accuracy, ice effect and overall performance:
Banana Ice delivers on its title with creamy banana candy flavor followed by a brisk icy exhale. Vapes like a sweet foam banana. Cooling slightly too intense.
Tropical Rainbow Sky features a ambiguous medley of melon, pineapple, strawberry and citrus. Well blended, not overly sweet. Pleasantly smooth cooling.
Mr Bull accurately captures the flavor of a famous energy drink with a tangy, fizzy soda effect. Cooling kick nicely balances the sweetness.
Cherry Ice offers an unusually floral cherry with background earthiness. Cooling initially overwhelming but grew on us over time. Leaves a delicious aftertaste.
Peach Ice nails the syrupy juiciness of tinned peaches then cools things down on the exhale without becoming harsh. Realistic and refreshing.
Testing Puff Count, Battery Life and Reliability
Out of 316 puffs, one NRG pod did unfortunately burn out early. However battery production inconsistencies can plague disposables in general on occasion.
In further testing, the Strawberry Watermelon pod lasted a commendable 596 puffs prior to exhaustion. So while faults may rarely occur, overall reliability remains consistent with general industry standards.
The 500mAh Venus battery itself endured 323 puffs before requiring USB-C recharging. Noteworthy longevity for a device in its class. The LED indicator conveniently shows status.
While disposable pod life spans depend greatly on vaping habits, the Venus delivers solid, realistic usage - matching claims.
Final Verdict - A Must-Buy for Disposable Users
The ingeniously designed Venus pod kit proves a reliable, eco-conscious alternative to single-use vapes without sacrificing convenience.
The flavors deliver accuracy while the satisfying vapor production surprised us from such a compact device. Battery life also impressed considerably.
With room for refinement on iciness levels and lack of instructions, we highly recommend the well-performing Venus pod system to fans of disposables seeking substantial cost savings and sustainability.
