Introduction
Vaporesso are one of the most popular mainstream vaping manufacturers and continue to produce high quality devices whether it's high quality vape pens right up to high powered devices with the latest innovations. The PodStick is quite a basic device but excellently executed giving both a genuine MTL and DL option. With 3 power levels, 5 tier battery feedback and a suburb slide to fill valve filling method the PodStick may be quite basic but it's well worth q good look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The PodStick came in the usual Cardboard box packaging with plastic inner tray that Vaporesso products tend to come in. We have recently seen what have been referred to has Pod Mods and the PodStick with it's squared off front and rounded body can best be described as a Pod Vape Pen so PodStick is a very apt name for it. I received the Splashed version but there are options to suit most tastes which are Blue, Black, Splashed, Phantom, Gold and Silver. Up top we have a tinted pod with fixed central Black rounded drip tip, the pod fits into the device at an angle with plenty of the pod showing to see your juice.
On the squared front of the device we have a round protruding Bronze coloured fire button towards the top, this is followed by a vertical row of 5 LED indicators for battery status. At the bottom of the flat face we have branding but apart from also a small vaporesso logo at the bottom of the spine the device is quite plain. Finally we have the micro USB port on the base which i must admit is not my favourite position as i like to stand vaping devices upright while charging.
The PodStick is very light being constructed of Aluminium and is also very portable and comfortable in the hand, it's build quality can't be faulted.

The Pods
The Pods are sealed units as far as the coils are concerned so when you are no longer getting decent flavour it's the whole pod that needs replacing as the coils can't be replaced.
you receive 2 pods which house different coils one being a 1.3ohm CCELL and the other having a mesh coil with a resistance of 0.6ohm. The Pods have a fixed mouthpiece that mimics a straight 510 well positioned centrally and the pod itself is quite darkly tinted which some might find as a con but as i had no issues seeing the juice level for me its a non-issue. The base of the pod is flat and metallic, towards the rear we have our negative and positive contacts.

Filling The Pods
The Pods for the PodStick have a fantastic filling system that i love which comprises both slide to fill and push to fill methods into one, the system is both quick and easy but also child safe. First you push back the top of the pod where clearly indicated which reveals a push down filling valve. Push the valve with the nozzle of your bottle and fill, once filled remove your nozzle and the valve closes. After filling the top of the pod can be slid shut and that's it ! The pods hold a "good" 2ml of e-liquid.

Supplied Filling Bottle
Some nozzles might be too big for a mess free fill although most are fine but you do receive a bottle to decant to which works great. I actually didn't use the bottle in the package as i already use the same design bottle i also received with a Vaporesso product over a year ago and use it to fill all my tanks, pods and cartridges as it doesn't matter how big the fill port it always gives me a quick, mess free fill.

Fitting The Pod
Looking inside the bay we can see the two Gold plated, spring loaded contacts on raised platforms and towards the front quite a large rectangular magnet. We can also see to the rear a very small cut-out which will let air to the pod and the fit is on the angle.
When it comes to fitting the pod it stops with about 0.5mm left then you press down and it gives one hell of a satisfying click as it securely fixes into place, it seems the magnet is just for back up as the pod is going nowhere just how tight it press fits, cracking job!
