Vype ePod Review – Swipe right on Vype?

One of the biggest differentiators as far as build quality is concerned is most definitely the material used in constructing the chassis. It looks like the Vype ePod doesn’t pull any punches in this department and opts for a metal body construction in contrast to the usual plastic that their Vype ePen 3 featured in order to cut down on costs.

The result is a slightly heftier device, but one that never feels cumbersome thanks to the low overall size of the kit.

The Vype ePod doesn’t really flex any muscles when taking into account its aesthetic appeal. What we get because of this is a relatively minimalist design that still manages to look good.

In contrast to most pod-style devices, the Vype ePod uses a proprietary magnetic charger similar to the Juul. This is kind of a letdown in our opinion as this makes things more difficult in the off chance that the charger is misplaced or lost. You the user won’t have any choice but to buy another one of these proprietary chargers from Vype themselves.

Pod-style kits usually fall into two camps which tend to divide its user base. The device either uses refillable pods that enable the user to vape any e-liquid of their choosing like the Slice, or in the case of the Vype ePod, the user is required to purchase pods prefilled with e-liquid created, packaged, and sold by the manufacturer itself.

While this might be a bad thing for pod-style fans who are on a budget, those looking for the utmost convenience when it comes to setting up and using their devices might see value in this.

The Vype ePod also manages to nail down the ideal MTL airflow down pat as it delivers a smooth and satisfying vaping experience that most transitioning or newbie vapers will come to appreciate. If you are someone who also uses 510 oil cartridges and other vapers have reported Oilax Cito is a good place to start. 

Ease of Use

As far as beginner kits are concerned, the Vype ePod is one of the easiest kits we’ve had to set up and maintain over the course of the past two weeks.

The pods lock into place with the use of magnets making it quick and easy to install and remove pods, maybe a bit too easy as the pods tend to wiggle a bit when supposedly locked into place. It would’ve been nice to see some tighter tolerances as far as the pod installation is concerned.

For the pod lovers out there who are looking for something new and better to play around with, the Vype ePod is a decent option to step up your vapor and flavour game without abandoning the familiar hand feels and draw activated mechanics which made the pod units such a beloved device.

Newcomers to vaping will likely appreciate the simplicity of the device in terms of how quick and easy it is to set up the kit, however, those who want to use their own liquid would be better served by a device like the Slice.
