Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the ET Auto Kit from Vaptio. The ET Auto Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Bear from Vaptio.

Introduction
The Californian Company Vaptio have had a busy year releasing their high wattage Hero devices, simple starter kits, vape pens and pod systems and they end the year with a couple of final products one of which is the ET Auto Kit. The ET Auto Kit is a pod system which works with a switch activated by your inhale and uses non-cotton Ceramic coil technology for more durable cleaner flavour with no break-in period. Designed as if it was heading straight for a souvenir shop in Nevada, it's shaped like an aircraft for extra terrestrial life form but with ergonomics and functionality being the prime objective of the design.

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The ET Auto pod device came in presentation cardboard packaging with clear plastic lid so the device can be seen before opening the packaging. I received the Red version, the ET Auto is also available in Black, Green, Black Blue Gradient, Light Blue, Purple and Black Red Gradient. The device has a very ergonomic form and is shaped like a triangle but with the 3 angles being very rounded, the bottom 2 angles have large what look like tail lights for LED indication. On the bottom central we have the micro USB port which is positioned in a number plate position in relation to the tail lights. The device is quite flat having a smooth pebble like feel and although i can't find what material it's made from it feels like Zinc Alloy. The only feature on the device other than the LED tail lights and USB port is a small triangle badge with alien head which is positioned centrally on the front. The pod is almost all showing and is tinted black, the device seems as well made as any pod system i have looked at.

The Pod
The pod is very comfortable between the lips and although tinted black is transparent enough to see your e-liquid in most light. The Pod comes with a protection sticker over the contacts and silicone bung in the mouthpiece both of which will obviously need removing. Looking at the base of the pod we have a magnet both sides then to the inner of these are fill bungs (one each side) which reveal 3mm holes, to help pull the bungs out there are 2 notches cutout in the plastic of the pod which is needed as the bungs sit deep and flush (it's very well done). Having the 2 fill ports means while you are filling using one air can escape out the other but while most nozzles will be ok if you are using e-liquid with a glass dropper or thick nozzle you will need to transfer to something like a needle nosed bottle. You can also clearly see the two contacts to the inner of the bungs then central we have the section that opens with inhale to activate the membrane switch, i believe this is also where air is entering the pod as i can't see anywhere else so as you have probably already figured out airflow is non-adjustable. The Pod is fitted with a honeycomb Ceramic coil which uses no cotton and ohms out at 1.5ohm give or take 0.2ohms, the pod holds 1.8ml of e-liquid and unfortunately what seems to be coming more common now no spare pod is included which i think is a poor show.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitting The Pod
The Pod just slots into place (can be fitted either way) and secures by very strong magnets, it takes quite a tug to remove it, very good job! Looking inside the device we can see everything matching up with the pod, outer magnets, to the inside of these spring loaded contacts and then central we have the membrane switch mechanism, all very clean and tidy.
