Five or six years ago, vapers didn’t buy what they wanted, but devices presented on the shelves of the few vape shops. Therefore, the current situation on the vape market, when everyone can choose the best vape device according to various parameters, scares many lovers of delicious and flavorful vapor. But this is successfully used by manufacturers, releasing more and more new devices of different formats. And the company Smok is no exception, its engineers, designers and marketers are constantly working to offer vapers new devices. The company’s assortment is increasingly appearing POD-systems – one of the most popular types of vape devices to date. In order to expand the lineup of such devices and interest users, the company presented SMOK Prisma Pod Kit – an interesting and versatile device.
General Info
SMOK Prisma Pod Kit is a compact POD system, equipped with a medium capacity battery and designed to use Novo series interchangeable cartridges with built-in vaporizers. The form factor in which the device is made is a win-win compact stick equipped with a rather large “Fire” button. The design of the new device also attracts attention – the lower half of the device is fluted and the upper half is smooth. POD-system is activated by both puffing and pushing the button, and the battery will allow a pretty good autonomy. One of the main features of the device is that it is designed for installation of interchangeable cartridges with built-in vaporizers of Novo series, so there will be no problems with finding consumables. You can buy SMOK Prisma Pod Kit in seven colors – silver, pink, turquoise, green, red, gray and black.
Equipment
Smok company kits its POD-systems (and not only them, but all other devices) approximately the same, so in the box the vaper can find:
– Prisma Device battery pack (800mAh);
– Two Novo 2X Meshed 0.8Ω MTL Pods (2ml);
– USB Type-C cable;
– User’s Manual.
Prisma Device Battery Pack
Among the large number of Australian vape shop Melbourne that started out seven or eight years ago, not all are “afloat” now. Smok not only stayed in the leaders, but also regularly release new devices. The secret of the company’s success is almost immediate adaptation to market realities and the production of devices that are in demand, in particular POD-systems. It is on the production of devices of this format that the company now focuses its attention. The next addition to the lineup of POD-systems is SMOK Prisma Pod Kit – an interesting and versatile device. It is interesting that the device has the second name – Smok PROPOD Pod Kit, but in fact it is the same device, so you should not be surprised.
When developing the design of this device, Smok did not experiment, so it is made in the most popular for POD-systems form factor – a neat stick with rounded edges. SMOK Prisma Pod Kit is decorated rather interestingly – without any pictures and logos, but with ribbed bottom half and smooth top half, so the ergonomics is good – it does not slip in your hand. The device is made in a fairly modest size – 107*24,5*15 mm, so in your pocket it will not get in the way.
SMOK Prisma Pod Kit uses a built-in 800 mAh battery, which will be enough to work autonomously for one or two days (autonomy time depends on the vaping intensity and resistance of the installed cartridge). The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device with 0.7 A current.
The POD system works under the control of a proprietary chipset which allows a maximum power of 22 watts. The chipset automatically sets the power depending on the resistance of the installed cartridge. There are two options of activation – by puffing and by pressing the only button “Fire”, located in the center of the device. Directly above the button there is a LED indicator that changes its color depending on the battery level.
Novo 2X POD Cartridge
One of the key features of SMOK Prisma Pod Kit is that the device is designed to use Novo cartridges. Thanks to this unification the vaper has no problems with finding consumables – you can buy Novo cartridge practically in any vape shop. The cartridge is held in the battery pack by strong magnets.
The POD system is equipped with the well-known Novo 2X cartridge, which is made on a 0.8 ohm grid. There is no blowing control, so the draw is regulated by the type of cartridge installed. In order to refill the cartridge, simply remove the mouthpiece (press it) and pour 2 ml of liquid into the hole equipped with a check valve.
Conclusions and impressions
SMOK Prisma Pod Kit is quite traditional POD-system, which is not particularly different from the analogues released earlier. But this device is able to pleasantly surprise a fan of delicious and flavorful vapor with good autonomy, practicality, versatility and good flavor transfer.
