Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Crown Pod System Kit from Uwell. The Uwell Crown Pod System Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Pearl from Cigabuy.

Introduction
Uwell best known for their Crown Tanks and more recently the highly regarded Caliburn brings out a pod device using the Crown name while after testing in my opinion is very much an upgraded Caliburn.
With the crown pod system we have much improved filling, liquid viewing windows, 1.0ohm and 0.6ohm pods, adjustable airflow and much larger battery capacity. The Crown uses the same Pro focs coil technology which was introduced with the caliburn, also still both button and draw activated but unfortunately still no power regulation so a direct output device.
So in my opinion a much larger Caliburn with improvements so let's give it a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Crown comes in cardboard box packaging and on opening in the tray sits a nice looking large pod device with spare pod by it's side. I received the Grey version which is a Dark Grey which could of easily have been called Gunmetal, it's also available in Blue, Red and Black, all versions come with a dark large duckbill style mouthpiece installed. The colour of choice is on both sides of the device, front and back and on both front and back we have a central dark strip which has a nice Regal/Gothic type design, the base is Black and made of plastic.
The main chassis is Aluminium Alloy, towards the top on the dark central strip we have a square fire button with raised crown which protrudes slightly and blends into the design, further down we have a tiny LED indication light. Where the pod interlocks with the shape of the top of the device small viewing windows are formed front and back, moving again to the base we have positioned centrally a micro USB port. The Crown is nearer to a pod mod size than a Caliburn style device so less stealthy while still being very portable and ergonomic, of course the extra size is needed for the extra battery capacity. I think the device looks really nice and some good colour options available, it feels very well made.

The Pods
The pods are quite large, a lot of that is because of the very large Black mouthpiece, the pod itself is slightly frosted but does have a clear section both front and back which are showing when fitted into the device creating juice viewing windows. The mouthpiece while being large does only have a small opening so much suited to a draw with restriction rather than loads of air.
On one side of the pod we have a sliding piece for adjustable airflow (big pro) and moving to the base we have a very small opening to the side of the contacts to allow the draw activation to work, we also can see the 2 contacts that will line up with the contacts in the pod's bay.
The capacity of the pods are 3ml with the standard kit but there is also a 2ml version available. You receive 2 pods that are refillable but the coils can't be replaced, pre-installed is a 1.0ohm pod and also included is a 0.6ohm pod, the coils an both pods use the same Pro focs technology (whatever that actually is?) as with the Caliburn and are made of Kanthal. The specs are printed on the base of each pod but also the 0.6ohm pod can be quickly distinguished by having a large Red section inside the pod towards the bottom.
___________________________________________________________________
Filling
The mouthpiece pulls off the pod to reveal the central air pipe opening and two holes (one to each side), one being small to let air escape while the other is the fill port which will be fine for most sized nozzles and has a self sealing membrane. The small hole to allow air to escape does it's job really well making filling quick and mess free if careful, in fact it fills so quickly and easily the only time you could have issues is overfilling if you are over zealous.
When the pod is fitted to the device the mouthpiece can be pushed first rather than just pulling straight upwards, this dislodges it allowing the mouthpiece to be removed for filling without having to move the pod from the device, good job!
___________________________________________________________________
Airflow
On one side of the pod we have a plastic sliding piece that is marked min and max and when in the min position a small airflow slot is above it. The sliding piece can be slid upwards to have as much of the slot open as you require giving it very good adjustability with the only downside being the pod needs to be removed from the device to have access, still a big pro as once you have it how you like it you shouldn't need to readjust.
___________________________________________________________________
Fitting The Pod
Looking inside the pods bay we can see the raised central opening to the membrane switch and to either side a Gold plated, spring loaded contact.
Apart from a barely protruding section inside the bay towards the front i really see nothing that would help secure the pod in place, yet the pod fits very securely and has no play whatsoever showing if the device has precision build quality press fitting is all that's needed, cracking job!
