Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Nic-Hit Pro from MagicMist. The Nic-Hit Pro was supplied for the purpose of this review by Yan from MagicMist.

Introduction
MagicMist here in the UK have been working closely with Vaptio to bring us the Nic-Hit Pro which has taken the great design of the Vaptio Spin-It but made it smaller so much more portable. The basic design remains the same and although we have the same Vapio 1.0ohm pods they are now pre-filled with Nic salt flavoured e-liquid with one 20mg Authentic Cigarette flavour pod included.
The reason for using the Spin-It design and Vaptio powered pods but now supplying them pre-filled with UK made Nic Salts in the choice of 2 strengths and 10 flavours is because MagicMist believe in the potential and hygienic design and the use of Nic Salts to give smokers the best chance to make the switch, let's give it a look!

The Nic-Hit Pro Deluxe Kit offers a carry case, 2 devices and 2 packs of extra pods, you can mix or match the colour of devices and choose which 2 flavours you want, so 2 devices and 6 extra pods (8 pods in total).

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
There is no difference apart from branding aesthetically between the Nic-Hit Pro and Vaptio Spin-it but there is quite a difference in size. The Spin-It wasn't the smallest of this style of pod system but was still pocket friendly and with it's rounded sides very ergonomically sound but here with the Nic-Hit Pro we have an even smaller and ergonomic friendly device. It weighs a lot less than i expected and is made from Anodic Oxidised Aluminium Alloy.
I received the Blue version, it's also available in Black and Red, all three colours in my opinion look both very nice and suit the overall look of the device. When in the vaping position the Nic-Hit Pro has a Black mouthpiece which looks fixed onto the top section so non removable but unlike the Spin-It's mouthpiece (although i haven't worked out how) must be able to be replaced as you receive a spare mouthpiece kit which comprises of a small section that gets fitted inside the cradle, mouthpiece and o-ring, i will describe the look of the device with the mouthpiece fixed inside the device.
The front of the device has a Black plaque with "MAGICMIST" branding on the vertical at the top where the top section interlocks, the same plaque in the same position is also on the reverse. 40% of the way down the front of the device we have a pill shaped fire button which protrudes nicely and is the same colour as the device, finally there is an operational LED at the bottom of the front. Apart from the mentioned plaque on the back the sides and back are featureless with the sides being shorter than the front and back for the top section to interlock.
The top section with the mouthpiece hidden away has a Black top with visible indented contacts for when fixing into place for vaping. The rest of the top section is the same colour as the device but a different shade to the main device giving it an aesthetically pleasing two-tone look. Both sides of the top section has very good sized viewing slots for seeing the level of your juice and the base of the device is Black with a central micro USB port. The design is stellar, no question, the Spin-It won several design awards back 2 years ago and the smaller size improves it further.

The Pod
The included pod is the same as the pod that came with the Spin-It and has the same 1.0ohm coil. What has changed is they are now pre-filled with 1.9ml of flavoured Nic Salts e-liquid and the white removable fill bung has now been replaced with a fixed Black plastic seal, the pods are still clear giving great visibility of your e-liquid.
The airflow is on the pod itself and is a tiny rectangular slit, straight away you can tell this is a strictly MTL device. When opening the pod from the wrapping before fitting to the device the airflow slit and air pipe both have white silicone plugs inserted that need removing.
To fit the pod into the device you need the mouthpiece in the position where it is fixed inside the device then just push the pod in place until it clicks, visible are the indented contacts which when the mouth section is spun and fixed in the position to vape will make contact with the spring loaded contacts inside the top of the battery section.
Pre-filled pods are very convenient especially for new vapers who may want things as uncomplicated as possible but of course many will see it has a con that the pods aren't refillabe, the good news is the original refillable Vaptio Spin-it pods are fully compatible.
Picture of pod that has had some use, they come full of e-liquid!

Nic Salts
The pre-filled pods can be bought in packs of 3 at two different strengths 20mg and 12mg. The pods are pre-filled with UK made nic salt based flavoured e-liquid which according to MagicMist the nicotine acts 3X faster and lasts 2X longer and is the next generation nic salt technology.
To be honest as Nic salts act much faster than freebase and due to how efficiently the body absorbs the Nicotine i'm sure this is what the marketing really is referring to.
Nic Salts are in my opinion a good choice for new vapers but also handy for other vapers that find they need a quick nicotine fix that will last because they are in the position they can't vape as regular as they normally would. For example i vape a lot so only vape at 2mg but if i'm in the position i will not be able to vape often then 2mg no longer gives me the nicotine my body craves. The problem with freebase is because i have vaped at 2mg (DIY or 3mg commercial e-liquid) so long when upping my mg on these occasions i just can't vape higher than 6mg without coffin and really not enjoying it and 6mg is still not going to help much in these situations.
Nic Salts based e-liquid i find so much smoother and can comfortably handle even 20mg although the 12mg option would be perfect for me, they act much faster and work efficiently so it's much longer until i need another vape.
