The vape market, to which skeptics predicted a decline, is constantly evolving, and in a rather strange way pod-mods and POD-systems have replaced powerful box-mods and droppers with 0.07-0.1 ohm spirals. Such popularity of sub-mods can be very simply explained by many vapers want to get the easiest to use device with good autonomy, compactness and good flavor transfer. Eleaf has repeatedly pleased vapers with its devices of this format, and recently it presented iSolo Air, which immediately appealed to vapers who prefer MTL puffs. The company decided to capitalize on the success of iSolo Air and released Eleaf iSolo R Pod Mod Kit, a somewhat simplified, but no less interesting and practical device with good puffing versatility.
General Information
Eleaf iSolo R Pod Mod Kit is a medium-sized pod mod powered by a powerful built-in battery and designed to use GTL series vaporizers. The design of the new device is quite laconic and stylish, as the body is made of metal with an eco-leather insert. The device automatically sets the optimal power depending on the resistance of the installed vaporizer, so it is as easy to use as possible. The GTL cartridge, designed to use vaporizers of the same name, will allow the vaper to set MTL, RDL or DL” puff. The Eleaf iSolo R Pod Mod Kit can be purchased in four colors red, blue, dark and light brown.
Accessories
We can’t say that this sub-mod is packed in any special way, but this is unlikely to scare anyone, as in the kit you can find everything you need for trouble-free use of the device. It is worth saying that the device can be in two variants with a 2 ml cartridge for MTL puffing, and in a 4.5 ml version for DL and RDL puffing. In the box, the vaper will find:
iSolo R Mod battery pack;
GTL Pod 5ml/2.5 ml cartridge;
GTL4ohm Coil/GTL 1.2ohm Coil (for 2 ml version);
GTL 0.8ohm Coil;
USB Type-C Cable;
Warranty card;
User’s Manual.
iSolo R Mod Battery Pack
For many vapers, the choice of MTL or DTL puffing style becomes a real dilemma, as each of them has its own peculiarities, advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is quite logical that manufacturers try to produce the most universal variants of tanks that can meet the needs of users. Especially for users who want to get a universal, compact and easy-to-use device, Eleaf has released the iSolo R Pod Mod Kit, which can be called one of the variants of the Eleaf iSolo Air presented a little earlier, but with certain changes.
The design of the Eleaf iSolo R Pod Mod Kit can hardly be called particularly original, as there are already a lot of similar devices, but at the same time the device turned out to be quite stylish due to the use of a combination of zinc alloy and eco-leather, which, in addition, makes the pod mod easy to use and ergonomic. The device is quite small, made in the format of a 118*27 mm pipe mod, so it won’t take up much space in your pocket.
The maximum power of the Eleaf iSolo R Pod Mod Kit is 30 watts, provided by the built-in 1800 mAh battery, which is not a bad indicator for such a compact device. The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom of the device with 2A current, and the full charge time is about 50 minutes.
Eleaf iSolo R Pod Mod Kit is designed for 1-30 watts of power, which is automatically determined depending on the resistance of the installed vaporizer. The only controlling element is the fire button, which is used to activate the device and turn it on/off. The device is equipped with a small LED that changes its color depending on the battery level.
GTL Pod cartridge
The complete cartridge GTL Pod is already familiar to vapers from the previously released starter kits, in which it proved itself with a positive side. We can’t say that this cartridge is particularly original, as similar models can be found in Smok and Voopoo, but it is practical and convenient to use. The cartridge is held in the battery pack with the help of magnets. It is worth noting that by using a special adapter (bought separately) the cartridge can be terminated into a standard atomizer with 510 connector.
GTL Pod cartridge is designed to use GTL series vaporizers, which are currently presented three 0.4/0.8/1.2 Ohm, and depending on the version (4.5 or 2.0 ml) the device is equipped with two of them. Installation of the vaporizer is extremely simple and takes only a couple of minutes.
An important feature of the Eleaf iSolo R Pod Mod Kit is that it has an adjustable airflow, and you can open both five small holes and one wide one, so you can use MTL, RDL or DL” puff.
Refills the cartridge according to the scheme familiar to many vapers, it is taken out of the battery pack, turned upside down, opens the silicone plug and pours 2 or 4.5 ml of liquid.
Conclusions and impressions
Eleaf iSolo R Pod Mod Kit is the easiest to use, convenient and practical device that will suit both vapers with experience and beginners. Due to the versatility of the puff, the vaper will be able to choose the optimal style of vaping, and a powerful enough battery will allow you to get a pretty good autonomy.
