For many vapers (especially those who started in the days when Fuchai 213 and Ryksa were popular) the emergence of salt nicotine and liquids based on it was a real discovery. It turns out that you can quench your nicotine cravings in a few puffs without getting a hard hit, which is inevitable when steaming strong liquids based on alkaline nicotine. But in order to vaporize such liquids you need to buy a POD system beforehand. Uwell company has succeeded a lot in POD-systems production, and now they offer a lot of devices of such format. But this does not mean that the company’s developers rest on their laurels, they are constantly working, and an example of this is the new POD-system Uwell Popreel PK1 Pod Kit.

Popreel PK1 Battery Pack
After the vape market became particularly in demand for POD systems, Uwell company quickly reformatted its production and focused on devices of this class. At the moment the company’s range has a lot of devices of this type, each of which is in deserved demand among vapers. The developers and marketers of the company decided once again to remind about themselves and presented a new POD-system Uwell Popreel PK1 Pod Kit, which is sure to find its fans.
Uwell designers when developing Popreel PK1 Pod Kit decided to use popular by many vapers form-factor – a small square with rounded edges and corners, which is crowned with ergonomic small drip-tip. The device is made entirely of plastic, so it weighs only 35.9 grams. It is very compact 70,4*45*13,5 mm, so it will take minimum space in your pocket. It is worth saying that the device is made in quite warm pleasant colors, so it looks a bit toyish.
In order to make the vaper most comfortable to wear the device, it is equipped with a lanyard, which is attached to a small ear, located in one of the corners of the device.
Uwell Popreel PK1 Pod Kit works with 520 mAh built-in battery, through which you can get autonomous operation of the device within one to two days. The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device.
The POD-system is equipped with the simplest possible chipset, thanks to which it operates at a stable power of 13 watts. Activation of the device is done by puffing, which is quite logical. There is a LED indicator on the side that allows you to monitor the battery level, activation and charging.
UN2 Meshed Pod Cartridge.
Given that the Uwell Popreel PK1 Pod Kit is a pretty compact device, it uses a replaceable cartridge with a built-in vaporizer rather than replaceable vaporizers. The cartridge is held in the battery pack by strong magnets.” The UN2 Meshed Pod cartridge has a built-in 1.2 ohm mesh vaporizer that will pleasantly surprise with its flavor delivery. Blow control is not provided, but by default the vaper will get a moderately tight draw, as close to MTL as possible.
The positive point of the Uwell Popreel PK1 Pod Kit is the charging, because to fill the cartridge you just need to remove the mouthpiece (there is a spare in the kit just in case) and pour 2 ml of liquid into a small hole. It is recommended to use PG/VG 50/50 so you get a longer cartridge life.
Conclusions and impressions
You can’t say that Uwell Popreel PK1 Pod Kit is radically different from similar devices from other manufacturers, but there is something about it that catches your eye. The POD system is compact, as easy to use as possible, with good flavor delivery and quite decent autonomy for its size.
