Nowadays, it’s hard to find a company producing vape devices that doesn’t have POD systems and sub-mods in its assortment. Sub-mods have become a kind of revolution in the world of vaping, simultaneously replacing miniature POD-systems and rather bulky box mods. The popularity of sub-mods is explained very simply in a compact device has all the standard functions required by a vaper, and at the same time it is self-contained and easy to use. An interesting feature of the development of this market segment is that manufacturers are adapting their devices to this format. And one of the most striking examples of this is the Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Mod. This is the familiar Pico, which has now become a pod mod and has retained its characteristic features, although it is a bit unusual to see a drip tip hidden by a hygienic cap instead of a tank.
General data
Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Mod is a medium-sized sub-mod powered by a single 18650 battery, designed to work with up to 60 watts of power and intended for GT series replacement vaporizers. The design of the new device is recognizable, although a little modified, but in any case it looks good, and in the hand sits perfectly. Due to the replaceable 18650 battery and the board working in the varivatta mode, the vaper will get an autonomous and productive device. The cartridge of good capacity is designed for the use of vaporizers of GT series, which are not difficult to buy. Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Mod can be purchased in five original colors, and it’s hard to say exactly what colors they are, but they are really original.
Delivery set
To say that Eleaf has equipped its device in some special way is impossible, as everything is simple, banal and standard, but at the same time, the vaper will get everything to install the battery after purchase, pour liquid and vaporize. Therefore, in the box you can find:
- Eleaf Pico Compaq Battery pack;
- Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod removable cartridge;
- GT Mesh Coil 0.45 Ohm;
- GT MTL Coil 1.2 Ohm;
- USB Type-C cable;
- User’s Manual.
Eleaf Pico Compaq Battery
It’s hard to meet a vaper who wouldn’t know the legendary Eleaf Pico series, as many such devices have been released. The fact that the company decided to release a modification in the format of a pod mod is quite understandable and logical, as this format is the most popular among vapers nowadays. Naturally, Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Mod has certain claims and questions, but in general, the device leaves only pleasant impressions.
The design of Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Mod is recognizable, it retains all the characteristic features of the Pico series, but the body has become more rounded. The overall dimensions of the device are not particularly large 89*53*31 mm, but this is due to the fact that it uses a replaceable 18650 battery. The case is made of zinc alloy and plastic, so it is not particularly light.
The maximum power of the Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Mod is 60 watts, and it is provided by a traditional 18650 battery, which is installed under the screw-on top cover. If necessary, you can charge the battery using the USB Type-C connector on the side with 2A current, so the time to fully charge the battery will be about 1.5 hours.
The functionality of the device is minimal, it is designed for the varivatta mode, but for 98% of vapers it is quite enough. To control the device operation, it has a small monochrome display, where you can find data on power, vaporizer resistance, battery charge level, and voltage.
Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Cartridge
It makes sense that the Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Mod uses a cartridge with replaceable vaporizers. The cartridge is held in the battery pack by magnets. Special attention should be paid to the hygienic cap that covers the drip tip and is attached to the body with a small chain to avoid losing it.
GT series vaporizers are installed in the cartridge. Initially, the kit comes with two vaporizers GT Mesh Coil 0.45 Ohm and GT MTL Coil 1.2 Ohm, so it’s up to the vaper to decide which puff he likes best.
Refilling the cartridge is painfully simple and trivial cartridge is removed from the battery pack, on its side surface opens a silicone plug and in a small hole poured 3.8 ml of liquid
Conclusions and impressions
Naturally, the appearance of Eleaf Pico Compaq Pod Mod is not revolutionary at the moment, as there are a lot of pod mods on the market, but on the other hand, it is a worthy successor of the Pico series, the popularity of which we can not even talk about. In any case, the vaper will get a practical, easy-to-use and self-contained device, capable to please with its flavor transfer.
