POD-systems have not surprised anyone for a long time, as a real vaper has them in his arsenal, and usually in several versions. Many vapers gladly use such devices to take them with them or just decided to switch to the salt nicotine based liquids. That is why manufacturers pay a lot of attention not only to the functionality, but also to the appearance of the devices. It is hard to find a vaper who is not familiar with the Punk series from Teslacigs, which has become almost legendary and in some way exemplary. The developers of the company decided to continue this legendary series and released Teslacigs Punk Mini pod, a compact POD system that is notable for its ease of use and original appearance. Despite the fact that many vapers looking at Teslacigs Punk Mini pod immediately remember similar products from other manufacturers, this POD-system will definitely appeal to fans of Teslacigs products and style-punk style.

General Data

The Teslacigs Punk Mini pod is a compact POD system equipped with a medium capacity battery, made in a specifically designed case and working on removable cartridges with a built-in vaporizer. The designers of the company decided to use the popular form factor of POD-systems, which many vapers like small rectangle. The design can’t fail to please, as it is a traditional steampunk, familiar to many fans of Teslacigs products. The device works on removable cartridges with a built-in heating element, designed for the use of liquids based on salt nicotine. The Teslacigs Punk Mini pod is available in four traditional colors black, ancient bronze, ancient cooper and steel.

Kit

If a vaper expects something unusual or supernatural from the new device, he will be disappointed, because the manufacturer did not make any wisecracks and packed it quite standard for devices of this class. In a simple box the vaper waits:

Punk Mini Mod battery pack;

Two cartridges Punk Mini pod resistance 1,4 ohm (one pre-installed);

Chain-darkener;

USB charging cable;

Warranty card;

User manual.

Punk Mini Mod Battery Pack

The popularity of the Punk series from Teslacigs is hard to underestimate, as vapers who use such devices enjoy using them. Therefore, the fact that the company’s developers decided to continue this series with a POD system was quite expected and a matter of time. Despite the fact that Teslacigs Punk Mini pod many vapers started to compare immediately to similar POD-systems from Voopoo and Smoant, the new device turned out to be distinctive and original, and it stands out very much among competitors with its design, because it does not use banal carbon or resin.

Teslacigs Punk Mini pod is designed as a small rectangle with two beveled corners, and in one of them is a small loop for the chain-tag included in the kit. It is quite natural that the device is made of zinc alloy with additional lacquer coating, under which numerous gears and obscure mechanisms are hidden, but this is what makes the device so remarkable and original.

The device is powered by a built-in battery with an average capacity of 600 mAh, which is quite normal for such a device. The battery is charged by the micro-USB connector located on the bottom end of the POD-system with 0.5A current, and the full charge time is about an hour and a half.

The device because of its small size and design features is not equipped with power and draw control, but it is able to produce 6.4-9.25 watts of power. Activation of the device is done by puffing, which is quite logical and expected.

Punk Mini pod cartridge

The compact dimensions of the Punk Mini pod mean that only replaceable cartridges can be used in the device. Their fixing in the battery pack is traditional by means of magnetic connectors (this variant has shown itself positively more than once).

The cartridge uses quite traditional stainless steel coil with the resistance of 1.4 Ohm, so naturally it is designed for the use of liquids based on salt nicotine. According to anecdotal evidence of possible installation cartridges from Juul, until the device has not appeared on sale, it is difficult to talk about this.

Filling the cartridge is very simple. It is necessary to take it out of the battery box, open the small silicone cap on the side and pour 1.2 ml of liquid. It is worth using special vials with a thin metal spout because the filling hole is very small.

Conclusions and impressions

Teslacigs Punk Mini pod is first of all an image device for fans of steam-punk because if we look at it from POD-systems point of view it is a common device which is already presented in many places. But in any case the vaper will get a compact, comfortable, stylish and easy to use device for liquids based on salt nicotine.
