The VooPoo Panda is yet another pod mod device that wants a piece of the ultra-portable pod mod market. But is it any good!?
[letsreview]
The VooPoo Panda is a teeny, tiny pod mod device. Itโs cute-looking, around the size of a Zippo lighter, and it runs two styles of coil heads.
And it is these coil heads that make the VooPoo Panda a little bit different to many of the pod mod vapes on the market right now.
Why? Because you can sub-ohm vape with the Pandaโs 0.8ohm coil head, which means high VG E Juice will run inside it just fine.
Want a more traditional pod mod-style vape? Stick the 1.2ohm head in and youโre good to go for MTL-style vaping with Nic Salts E Juice.
The versatility of the coil heads, combined with its tiny stature, is what makes this device something of a head turner.
But is it any good in practice? Letโs find outโฆ
VooPoo Panda Review
Design
As I said, the VooPoo Panda is very small. Iโm talking Zippo lighter-small and this is definitely a good thing when youโre talking about pod mods.
You want them small and portable. Ideally, with very few moving parts as well. The VooPoo Panda does both of these things very well.
There is a single fire button on the device and that, save for the MicroUSB charging port, is literally it.
Why is it called the Panda? Simple: itโs a cute and round black and white device, though you can pick it up in a variety of color options.
Overall, I think the design of the VooPoo Panda is very attractive. If youโre into small, portable pod mods, it is definitely one of the more unique looking setups Iโve seen.
How The Pods Work
You get two in the kit (one 1.2ohm, the other 0.8ohms) and they will hold 5ml of E Juice. Obviously, these pods are also refillable too.
The pods are easy to fill up too. Simply unplug the rubber port and fill it up with E Juice. Once youโve done this, youโll want to let it stand for about 10 minutes โย this way itโll prime up properly.
Putting everything together is super simple; you donโt even need to consult the user manual โย itโs just obvious what you have to do.
Pod mods by their very nature are designed to be simple. But what VooPoo has come up with here takes this idea to a whole other level.
The VooPoo Panda can be setup in under 3 minutes. Even a vaper with ZERO experience with pod mods could do it.
VooPoo Panda Specs & Features
Hereโs a breakdown of the Pandaโs key specs and features.
- Size: 75*47.5*27.4mm
- Capacity: 5ml
- Wattage: self-adaptive 8w or 12w
- Resistance: 1.2ฮฉ(8W) & 0.8 ฮฉ(12w)
- Battery capacity:1100mah
As you can see, the battery it uses is pretty large. Another positive for this device, as the battery life: it lasts for AGES (and it only takes 1.5 hours to recharge from dead).
VooPoo Panda Pod Mod Performance
Howโs it perform? Decent, actually. Itโs not mind-blowing in the flavor department but itโs definitely above average.
I generally prefer running it with the 1.2ohms coil heads, as this means I can use Nic Salts E Juice and take proper advantage of its sizeable battery life.
I tend to use RDAs, like, exclusively, so Iโm always a little โmehโ about pod mods when it comes to flavor.
They never quite deliver what I want when it comes to flavor. But this is to be expected on account of how theyโre designed versus RDAs and RTAs.
For a pod mod, the flavor is OK โย but I still think the SMOANT S8 Pod is the king of flavor in the pod mod space right now.
Bottomline: if you want to really get the most out of this device, youโll need to run decent quality Nic Salts E Juice.
The VooPoo Panda works best with its 1.2ml coil head. Youโll get better flavor, bigger hits, and more battery life.
I like that they added a sub-ohm option, but with only 12w of power to play with it doesnโt really work all that well.
VooPoo Panda Battery Life
Battery life on the Panda is exceptional. In this context, I think it is a clear winner in the pod mod space right now.
Iโve used a bunch of pod mods this year, and the VooPoo Pandaโs battery life WIPES the floor with every single one of them.
I ran mine for almost three days before it required a recharge. Obviously, this was with low-to-moderate usage, but it is still very impressive for a device of this size.
