Review of Pasito Mini Pod Kit by Smoant
Today the market of boxmods is gaining momentum; there are more and more both decent models and rather mediocre ones. It is extremely difficult to choose a permanent favorite, given that pods are sharpened for long-term use, unlike disposable cigarettes. Among those models that are definitely worth paying attention to is the Pasito Mini Pod Kit from Smoant. The little guy has an excellent and aged design, convenient functionality with puff adjustment for beginners and customizable cartridges.
What’s on the outside?
It’s called Mini because its dimensions are quite small compared to competitive models and past models of the range – 8.5 X 3.6 X 1.6 centimeters. australian vape shop For example, if we compare it to another Smoant model – Knight 40, the Pasito Mini Pod Kit is about one and a half to two times smaller.
We were very pleased with the overall design. The format, as mentioned above, is Box, so it has rectangular shapes. The mouthpiece sticks out a lot, so it’s comfortable to draw in. The whole box is covered with strip lights that serve as indicators (about this – below). In the upper part there is a transparent window for the cartridge to see how much liquid is left and how much you need to refill, pouring through the side silicone compartment. The whole case is made of metal and has no drawings, except for a small front section, where the work of designers is located.
There are many colors that are quite different from each other:
Space gray. Minimalistic design in silver color. The front has a light gray section with geometric black patterns and the inscription: “Pasito Mini”. The rest of the device is in dark gray;
Brown. The design section in concept resembles a leather product: a wallet or a lady’s bag. It is made in brown color and has a small engraving pattern with the logo. The rest of the device is in dark gray;
Black. Completely black and gloomy. The design area still has the same geometric patterns and lettering from Space Gray;
Blue Twill. This is where the march of the manufacturers’ imagination begins. On the front side is a blue pattern: alternating diagonal stripes of blue and dark blue shade. The rest of the device is in light gray;
Cyan gradient. The design side features a geometric pattern with zigzag stripes where white and turquoise alternate. The rest of the device is in light gray with a blue gradient;
Kelly green. Perhaps the most colorful option of all. Completely in lime color with a gradient into dark green. Branded geometric patterns and logo;
White. Elegance is about this colorway. The front is minimalistic – white background with gold logo, no patterns. The rest of the case is gilded, which gives it a very luxurious feel;
Seashell. Limited edition collection. The designers have tried their best here – a great shell pattern that shimmers from pink to blue. Each model has its own exclusive pattern, it is never repeated.
If you didn’t have enough shades, the manufacturers promise a lot of new palettes – you can see the releases on their instagram.
Pasito Mini Pod Kit control system
The device does not have a separate display to show all the indicators – instead, light strips. To understand the designations of the light, you need to familiarize yourself with the instructions. For example, the light reflects the percentage of battery charge:
White – 60%+;
Red – 30% or less;
Medium – from 30 to 60%.
The indicator shows other indicators of the e-cigarette status:
Selected power. Adjustable with the Varivatt button. High is white, medium is blue, and low is red;
Power on. Flashes white light once;
Short circuit. Three light signals;
Cutoff. One short signal followed by complete shutdown of the unit;
Overheating (above 60 degrees). Ten light signals.
The unit has only two buttons with simple functions:
Fire. Responsible for heating and puffing. Must be pressed while smoking. Release the button when not smoking to avoid damaging the device due to the extra strain;
VW. Puff control. There are three modes available, which we have already recalled. Allows you to control watts between 5 and 30 watts.
What’s inside?
A separate topic in the work of Pasito Mini Pod Kit is its cartridges. They have quite a large volume – from 2 to 3.5 milliliters.
The vaporizers are right inside the cartridge – they can be easily removed and replaced, no additional consumables like extension adapters are required. The cartridge is replaceable too, so you can easily buy and replace the components of the pod so you don’t have to buy the whole atomizer design when it breaks.
The main problem when installing the cartridge is the mismatch of the battery to the connector. Why does this happen? The manufacturer decided to make the design completely symmetrical. This does not bring any harm to the design, because the cartridge can be immediately turned over, but it causes some inconvenience when using it.
Resistance depends on the selected vaporizer and varies (on official consumables from the same manufacturer):
0.6 ohms;
0.8 Ohm;
1 Ohm.
You can also take vaporizers from other companies. The device supports a range from 0.4 to 3 ohms. The connector for connecting the device and cartridges is 510, with gold-plated pins. Gold is not a design move, it helps to keep the vaper safe from inhaling harmful substances. The battery is only 1100 mAh – it drains quickly, but it also charges to 100% just as quickly. The battery is built-in, so in case of malfunctions it will have to be thrown out and there is no possibility of separate charging through an adapter. It supports charging via a 5 volt Type-C connector.
