Despite the tightening of legislation regarding vaping not only in the Russian Federation, but also in many countries in Europe and America, the number of vapers has not rapidly decreased, since not everyone is ready to give up tasty and aromatic vapor. On the shelves of vape shops you can find a lot of liquids with a wide variety of flavors and strengths, but liquids based on salt nicotine are especially popular, with which you can satisfy your nicotine hunger. Naturally, to vape them, you need special devices, POD systems or closed-type systems, mass-produced by many manufacturers. The Smok company is rightfully considered one of the leaders in the production of such devices, since its product range now includes many POD systems, but this does not mean that the company is stopping, and an example of this is the new Acro Pod Kit POD system, which will delight many vapers with its functionality and taste.

General information

SMOK Acro Pod Kit is a compact POD system equipped with a powerful built-in battery, equipped with a chip with the ability to adjust power and designed for the use of replaceable cartridges. The new POD system has a fairly traditional design: a compact flat device with a convenient mouthpiece that fits perfectly in your pocket. An important feature of the device is that it is equipped with a board with variable wattage, thanks to which the vaper can choose the optimal power for him. The POD system is designed to use replaceable cartridges with built-in high-resistance evaporators for vaping liquids based on nicotine salts. You can buy the SMOK Acro Pod Kit in seven colors: black, gray, silver, coffee, blue-violet, blue-pink and red-gold.

Equipment

The new device is equipped quite standardly, but this cannot be said to be bad, since the vaper only needs to pour liquid into the cartridge and can safely use the device. In the box, the vaper will find:

Acro Battery Pack;

Two Acro Meshed POD8 Ohm cartridges;

USB Type-C cable;

User’s guide.

Acro Battery Pack

If you look at the statistics for 2020, the Smok company (despite the global pandemic and closed borders) is the leader in the number of new devices of various formats presented on the market. But this does not mean that the company’s developers are simply resting on their laurels and enjoying the constant increase in sales, but on the contrary, it encourages them to develop more and more new devices that take into account the complaints, comments and requests of vapers. The SMOK Acro Pod Kit, a compact, practical and easy-to-use POD system, can easily be classified as one of these devices.

The SMOK Acro Pod Kit looks quite banal: a rectangular device with rounded corners and edges, a flat mouthpiece, small overall dimensions and weight (with a size of 103 * 30.2 * 11.2 mm, it weighs only 48 grams). But at the same time, the ergonomics of the device are excellent and it is very convenient to use.

The SMOK Acro Pod Kit POD system is designed for a maximum power of 25 Watts, which is provided by a fairly powerful built-in battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh, which is not so bad, since you can be guaranteed autonomy throughout the day.

The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device, with a current of 0.85A. According to the manufacturer, the time to fully charge the battery is about 90 minutes.

The positive thing about the SMOK Acro Pod Kit is that in addition to a full set of protections, the device provides the ability to adjust the output power, so the vaper can choose the optimal level of vaporization for him. The device is equipped with a small monochrome display on which you can find a minimum set of information about the operation of the device. Conveniently, the manufacturer provides +/- buttons in order to set the required power level.

Many vapers will appreciate the ability to activate both using the Fire button and in automatic puff mode.

Acro POD Cartridge

The SMOK Acro Pod Kit is a fairly small device, so it uses replaceable cartridges with built-in evaporators. The nice thing is that the cartridge has a flat mouthpiece with excellent ergonomics.

At the moment, the manufacturer offers only one type of cartridges for this Acro Meshed POD device on a 0.8 Ohm mesh. But information appeared on the Internet that there is another Acro Meshed POD 1.2 Ohm cartridge. Regardless of the chosen cartridge, due to the mesh, good taste transfer is guaranteed.

The SMOK Acro Pod Kit provides the ability to adjust the airflow using a small slider located on the battery block, which can be moved to open/close small air intake holes.

Refilling the cartridge is quite traditional for devices from Smok: the cartridge is removed from the battery pack, a small silicone plug is opened on the side surface and 2 ml of liquid is filled in.

Conclusions and impressions

We can honestly say that the SMOK Acro Pod Kit is a new generation POD system, since the vaper has at his disposal not just a device that operates at one power without adjusting the airflow, but a device that is practical, autonomous and variable.
