Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the Smok Trinity Alpha Pod Kit, please see the bottom for disclaimers and links. Note this is not marked as a sample version.
Introduction:
The Smok Trinity Alpha Pod kit is the latest Pod Kit from popular vape manufacturer Smok. They are probably overall the best selling brand, however in a lot of online communities not very well liked. In my experience with them they are a pretty average company not as awful as people claim, but not anything great either. Just average. The Trinity Alpha is a simple slim rectangle style AIO Pod with refillable pods and a built in 1000mah battery and button press to fire. It’s available in 6 colors Red, Prism Rainbow, Prism Chrome, Bright Black, Prism Gold, and Prism Blue. Elementvape has them in stock in the USA all colors for 29.95 for the kit or 22.95 for the battery only, and replacement pods for 6.95, and replacement coils for 10.95 a 5 pack so great price point as well.

Kit Rundown
The trinity alpha is thin rectangle style AIO (all in one) Pod kit, meaning there isn’t a separate mod or tank that can be used with anything else. It does have replaceable pods so you can carry spares, but those are sold separately and the coils are replaceable and you can reuse the pod like a Breeze 2 or Nord. Design wise it’s very similar to Lost Vape Orion Go. It’s a good size all things considered. There is no adjustable air as well like most pods. Not a big deal but it is cool when pods have adjustable air but not really the standard these days yet so just a bonus when it has that. It has an above average capacity of 2.8ml (also a 2ml EU version for TPD compliant). The battery is listed at 1000mah and it’s an adjustable output device with a soft, normal, and hard mode. It features built in USB charging and they list a charge rate of .7A max. I tested this 3 time with an inline USB meter and for the charge rate it charges at .67A max so excellent rating and good enough for the battery size. It charges full in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Battery size wise i got 986-1029mah so no complaints there. Pretty damn good ratings on smok’s part for sure. It does have passthrough vaping as well like most (and true passthrough not just pausing) so u can hit it while it’s charging. The drip tip is a standard 510 tip which is awesome and rare to see on a pod system. The included one is a basic black delrin one, but they sell resin versions separate or you can use any of your own. I tried a couple o-ringed 510 tips and they all fit well but most looked a little funny on the device, but i’m sure you can find one that looks good if need be. I love that the tips are standard and replaceable.
The Trinity Alpha is very nicely built, but kind of lightweight as well. Paint wise i have the Prism Chrome which is a shiny chrome body with resin panels on both sides that are a mix of a dark purple-ish color and a light blue. Really nice panels and I think the device lokos excellent and shows no signs of wearing either. No complaints or wearing on the paint. The pods attach to the battery via a clip in system like the orion and are easy to get in and out and fit really well so good job there and fit it nicely with no wiggle or play. To remove the pod just slide back the release lever on top and they pop up for easy removal. To replace the coils they just pop in and out of the bottom of the pod and are held in place by o-rings. The filling is excellent and one of the best i’ve come across in a pod. To fill you don’t need to remove the pod at all as it’s a top fill and the fill cap is a slide back. Usually for attys i prefer a screw off but for a pod system, the slide back is excellent and super easy and exposes 1 large fill hole that can be filled really fast. Very easy to fill.
Usage is pretty easy. It has 2 buttons a fire button on the top and a mode button on the bottom. Click fire 5 times to turn on or off. You can tap the fire button to see the battery charge as well. The mode button tap once to see what mode you are i which are labeled by 3 LEDs a S for soft, a N for normal and a H for hard. When it’s lit up tap mode again to go to the next mode and when it’s on the one you want wait until the light goes out and it locks in that mode. The battery LED is on the bottom of the front above the mode button and bright enough to see good. When vaping or pressing the fire button the color lets you know the battery charge. Green means Full to 70%, Orange means 30-70% and Red means 30% or less. Good enough meter and pretty standard on most pods but a 4th step would be nice but that’s just being nitpicky. The pod is about half exposed off the top and the bottom covered part is clear while the top part is tinted. There is a lesser tinted area as a juice window but it’s still hard to see. I wish they would have made it clear. Also when it gets half full you need to tilt it to see your juice level. I would have preferred a better juice window personally but with the design i get it so my only complaint is that they shouldn’t have tinted a section that sticks out.
