Review of SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit

Recently it has become rarer and rarer to see a vaper on the street, wrapped in the clouds of fragrant vapor. But more and more often you can see people with compact and neat POD-systems, vaping liquids based on salt nicotine. At the moment the choice of POD-systems is so great that you can choose anything from the simplest to very functional and self-contained. The Smok company, of course, could not help but produce POD-systems, and almost all of them were the bestsellers. One such system SMOK Solus Pod Kit is simple and unpretentious. The company decided to update it a bit and presented SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit, which is not much different from its predecessor, but still interesting.

General information

SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit is a compact POD system, equipped with a powerful enough for its size battery, designed to install interchangeable cartridges with built-in vaporizers on the grid. The device is made in a compact stick format that fits in your pocket and has excellent ergonomics. The device belongs to the simplest series, so it is activated by puffing. Considering the cartridges used with the built-in mesh vaporizer, the battery will provide autonomous work for one or two days. The grid vaporizer built into the replacement cartridge, despite its simplicity, gives quite a decent taste. Buy SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit is available in six colors black, gray, blue, green, purple and silver.

Taking into account the fact that this POD-system of the budget class, is also completed simply and budget. In the box the vaper will be able to find:

Solus 2 Device Battery Pack

Hardly anyone would argue that the company Smok is rightly considered one of the leaders vape market, being the most productive (just look at the statistics of new devices for 2021). But this productivity is also supported by the quality and originality of devices, to which quite rarely arise claims regarding the work. After many companies began to produce POD-systems, Smok also took part in this peculiar arms race, offering vapers a wide range of devices of this format. Deciding once again to add to the range of POD-systems, the company presented the SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit.

The device is made in the most popular for POD-systems small stick format with rounded edges and flattened ergonomic mouthpiece. The device is very compact, its dimensions are only 107*21,5*13 mm, so it won’t take much space in your pocket or purse (here you have another problem of not accidentally losing the device). The body is decorated with a thin horizontal stripe and the name of the device.

The SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit is powered by a 700 mAh battery that will be enough for the vaper to work autonomously for one or two days, but the actual time depends on the intensity of vaping. The battery is charged via USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device with 0.5A current.

SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit is a very simple POD system, so it works on a single power of 15 watts without the possibility to change and adjust. The device is activated by puffing, which is also quite logical. There is a small LED on the side that serves as an event indicator.

Solus 2 Pod Cartridge

We must pay tribute to the developers Smok, who made SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit compatible with the cartridges of the first version, so it is not difficult to find the consumables for the device. One of the features of the cartridge is the flattened ergonomic mouthpiece.

Despite the compatibility with the cartridges of the first version, the manufacturer has developed a new cartridge with a resistance of 0.9 ohms, made on the mesh, so a decent taste for the vaper is guaranteed. In the device there is a simple change of blowing cartridge you need to take out of the battery block and rotate around its axis by 180 degrees, so you can get MTL or RDTL puff.

In order to refill the cartridge you need to take it out of the battery pack, open the silicone cap on the side and pour in 2.5 ml of liquid. It is recommended to use liquids with a PG/VG ratio of 50/50.

Conclusion and impressions

The key difference between the SMOK Solus 2 Pod Kit and the first version is a simple change of puff style and slightly modified design, but otherwise they are identical. The device does not pretend to functionality, variability and autonomy, but as a compact device for vaping liquid salt nicotine it will suit everyone.
