Review of Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit
Salt nicotine and nicotine-based liquids are perceived differently by vapers. Some are skeptical, preferring the traditional variants and considering nicotine salts to be a product of the chemical industry. And someone rejoiced at the fact that you can literally quench nicotine cravings in a few puffs and not get hard vapors, which is inevitable when steaming strong liquids based on freebase nicotine. In any case, the salt nicotine based liquids became very popular, but for their vaping you need closed systems or POD-systems, mass-produced by many manufacturers. The company GeekVape quite a long time did not please vapers with compact POD-systems, but it did not hold out and presented its version of the POD-stick 1FC Pod Kit, which will certainly find its customers.
General Info
Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit compact POD-system equipped with a medium battery capacity, equipped with a simple chipset and designed to use removable cartridges with built-in vaporizers for vaping liquids on salt nicotine. The new device is made as a small compact stick with the typical lines of Aegis devices clearly seen in its lines. The device with all its simplicity is equipped with a switchable voltage applied to the evaporator coil and the battery which charges in just 15 minutes. The device is designed to use interchangeable cartridges with built-in vaporizers with resistance of 0.8 and 1.2 ohms. You can buy the Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit in five colors: silver, silver-blue, gunmetal, rainbow, and black.
Kit
The manufacturer did not make a special way to complete a new POD-system, as it belongs to a fairly simple series, so in the box the vaper will find:
Aegis 1 FC mod battery pack;
Aegis One Pod 0,8 ohm cartridge (pre-installed);
Aegis One Pod 1.2 ohm cartridge;
USB Type-C cable;
User’s Manual.
Aegis 1 FC mod battery box
Frankly speaking, it is quite unusual to see a POD system from GeekVape, which has always been famous for its box mods and tanks. In fact, the company had only one full-fledged POD-system Aegis Pod, about which we can confidently say that it did not have the popularity as expected by the manufacturer. Having decided to win the niche, the company decided to release a POD-system that can compete with devices of such format from other manufacturers Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit (by a new tradition of omitting the word Aegis from the name).
Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit is made in the stick format that many vapers are used to. A closer look at it reveals that it is one of the representatives of Aegis family, but in the form of an elongated stick with a distinctive eco-leather insert. It’s a tiny 116*22 mm, so you won’t notice it in your shirt or jacket pocket. The design of the device is quite modest, without extravagances and additional decorations, except for the inscription GeekVape on the side surface.
Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit is powered by a built-in 550 mAh battery, which is enough to get autonomy for one or two days.The battery is charged with 1A current through the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device. If you believe the manufacturer, the time to fully charge the device is 15 minutes.
Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit refers to a fairly simple POD system, but the manufacturer has provided the ability to change the voltage applied to the vaporizer by pressing the fire button three times to set the operating power. The device is activated both by pressing the single fire button and the puff button. The battery charge level can be judged by the number of three LEDs burning at its base.
Aegis One Pod Cartridge
It’s only logical and natural that the Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit uses interchangeable cartridges with a built-in vaporizer, as the size of the device is quite modest.
GeekVape offers two cartridge options with 0.8 and 1.2 ohms resistance, both on standard spirals and designed for a tight cigarette puff. There is no adjustment in the device.
To refill the cartridge you need to remove the flat mouthpiece, and pour 2 ml of liquid into the small hole. It is recommended to use bottles with a thin metal spout, because the filling hole is really small.
Conclusions and impressions
We can’t say that Geekvape 1FC Pod Kit is able to surprise vapers, but the fact that it came out of GeekVape’s lab can’t help but make you happy. The device is not as simple as it seems at first glance, as it has a power control and two types of cartridges, so it is great for vaping liquids on salt nicotine.
