The product that I wanted such a POD was released by the POD Emperor [ UWELL ]. The carrying case has a built-in 1000mAh battery, and 3 cartridges can be stored, so you can take out your favorite liquid as much as you want!

It is a next-generation ultra-compact POD that has a strong taste due to the POD technology " PRO FOCS " inherited from Caliburn and Crown.

TRIPOD body

The body shape is hexagonal. The side parts are made of aluminum alloy, and the upper and lower ends are made of resin. The product name is printed at the bottom of the front.

The LED is located at the top. There are a lot of scratches ...

The LCD protective sheet is attached, so if you remove it, it will become glossy.

There is a maker logo and CE mark on the bottom.

When you pull up the upper part of the main body ...

POD will come out!

And there are two cartridges on the back. Yes, this hexagonal object is the case and battery for the POD and cartridge.

Hereafter, the hexagonal part is called the case.

POD

Contains a very small POD. It's small enough to compare with the recently sold UWELL CALIBURN G.

This size feels even compared to the aspire mini can, which made a name for itself in 2020 as a tiny POD. It's a little long in the vertical direction, but the waistline is quite narrow, and the surface area is by far the largest, and TRIPOD is smaller.

There is a terminal on the bottom to connect to the battery part when it is stored in the case, and an insulating sticker is attached in the initial state.

POD and case terminals. It is connected here and powers the POD from the case.

There are countless holes for LED light on the front of the POD. There is an LED in the back, and when it shines, the light leaks from this hole.

There is one air intake hole on the side of the main body. There is no space on the other side.

Cartridge connection. There are two terminals and holes for the negative pressure sensor.

Cartridge

This is a cartridge exclusively for TRIPOD. (Made by PCTG)

Not compatible with traditional Caliburn or the latest CALIBURN G.

There is a logo of "PRO FOCS, a technology for delicious sucking" recently recommended by UWELL.

There are a standard CE mark and MIN line on the back. When liquid charging, charge until the liquid level is above this MIN line.

There are two terminals and a suction hole on the bottom of the cartridge.

Case

This is the part where the POD of the case and battery fits.
This is the part where the cartridge fits. There is a USB port at the bottom.

The form when the cartridge is stored.

The form when the POD is stored. If the case battery is low, power to the POD will start automatically.

USB cable

The era is already USB TYPE-C.

How to use

When you insert the charging cable into the USB port, the LED will turn clockwise three times to start charging the case.

Charging is complete when all lights are on.

POD charging

When you put the POD in the case, charging will start automatically. During charging, the POD LED shows the POD battery level in color, and the case LED shows the case battery level in number.

• Green 60-100%
• Blue 20-60%
• Red 0-20%

POD power is being supplied. The image shows that the battery level of the case is 10/12.
When charging is complete, both the case and POD will turn off.

Actually use

Liquid to use

Add Koi-Koi Aotan Mixju-su from MK-Lab, which is delicious with POD, and smoke it. I chose this because it is easy to compare the taste because I put it in XTAL or XROS and smoke it. (It was just right because I sucked too much and the life of the XTAL cartridge has come to an end)

Liquid charge

Open the silicone cover on the side of the POD to expose the charge port.

Insert the nozzle to charge the liquid. At this time, put it so that the liquid level is above MIN. After the first charge, let it sit for about 10 minutes until the liquid soaks into the cotton.

Draw

The draw is neither too heavy nor too light. It feels neither DL-oriented nor MTL-oriented. However, the sensitivity of the negative pressure sensor is a little weak, and you can not puff unless you suck strongly, so I think that you will suck with a relatively heavy DL feeling. Draw control is difficult because there is no puff button.

CALIBURN G, XROS, and XTAL have good sensitivity, so they are inferior to those around them.

Tasting

The taste is UWELL, Umai. It has a rough mist and direct taste close to XTAL. The tropical taste of Mixju-su has a strong nostalgic taste.

I also added iced lemon tea and smoked it, but it tastes good here. I don't know if the POD is excellent or the liquid is excellent, but it's just awesome.

Texture

The case is made of aluminum alloy and is luxurious and light. The case alone weighs about 70g, and the POD is about 90g, so if you put it in your luggage, it will be within the margin of error. It feels like it's a little too wide to fit in your pocket.

The POD is also made of aluminum alloy and is comfortable to touch. It weighs only 20g and is so thin and small that it fits in any pocket. It fits in the mysterious small pocket of G bread. However, I think it is too small to lose. Especially on the way back from the drinking party, it is inevitable to lose it.

Finally

We introduced a new form of POD, TRIPOD . When Koi-Koi's red short blue short series came out, I was praying with a wish to the stars that "I want a POD that can replace the cartridge like a revolver", but I found this product immediately and even talked about the review I did. I will use the review product for a while, but if it breaks, I will buy it again. It is a product that is so easy to use for me. It is very convenient to be able to carry multiple cartridges at the same time .

The POD part is 370mAh and the case part is 1000mAh, which is not enough battery capacity for heavy users, but I think that there are many people who think that this is just right. If I use POD, 1000mAh will last a day.

There is nothing to say because the taste is good as it is.

The only drawback of TRIPOD is the weakness of the negative pressure sensor . This is a serious weakness of POD in recent years. Moreover, since there is no puff button, you can't smoke as you like, so leave it to the draw. If you do heavy DL with a light draw, I think that it will fit in, but it may be a little unsatisfactory for MTL people. If you close the hole with your finger when you smoke, it will be relatively better, but ...

I think it's a very convenient POD even after deducting the disadvantages, so if you are interested, please pick it up.
