Hello and welcome back for my latest review for eleaf. This time I was sent the eleaf IORE Lite 2 pod in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The Lite 2 is a very lightweight, portable, and simplistic pod device. It has a 490mah battery capacity and is recharged via the 5V/0.5A USB-C charging port. It only has a single indicator light and has no adjustable airflow. The kit only comes with one pod but eleaf was nice enough to provide me with two kits and an extra package of pods. The pods have a built in coil and the coil is not replaceable. The coil is a 1.0 ohm mesh coil and the pod holds 2ml of liquid which is a pretty standard size for a small pod device. According to the specifications, the IORE pod is supposed to be able to be filled 10 times before needing to be replaced. I have to think that it depends on what kind of liquid you are using in the pod.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting much from the IORE Lite 2 with it having only a 490mah battery, one pod included, and no airflow or output adjustments. However, after topping off the battery and filling the pod to let the coil saturate, I was pleasantly surprised by the performance. Every once in a while I get a pod device for review that is a perfect fit for me as far as the amount of airflow combined with the right amount of output. I understand that everyone likes something different but this particular one was really a nice vape for me. I’ll go ahead and show you the packaging and the pictures of the outside of the device but there’s just not a lot to talk about on this one so I’ll try to make it as short as possible.
The packaging for the Lite 2 is a very simple box that opens from one end. There is a picture of the actual device contained inside on the front. There is a large warning on both the front and back of the box. The back side of the box has a contents list, specifications, and company information. Inside the box is found the IORE pod sealed in a foil pack much like you would expect to see with a disposable but this isn’t a disposable. The package is ripped open easily and inside is the battery with pod installed. However, there is a safety seal covering the bottom of the pod so you don’t accidentally fire the device before filling the pod.
The IORE is a very small and lightweight pod device. The body is made of plastic and there is just a single indicator light on the front. No airflow control or output adjustment. I received two samples for this review. One is the white version and the other is the pink. I used mostly the white as I don’t care for pink much at all. One side of the IORE has the ELEAF name printed on it while the opposite side has the IORE LITE 2 name printed on it. Near the bottom is the single indicator light that only illuminates in white. There aren’t different colors to indicate battery level. When the battery becomes completely drained then the light just flashes a few times and doesn’t fire.
As I mentioned earlier there is not an airflow adjustment but there is a single airflow inlet hole on each side and if you prefer a tighter draw then you can cover one of these holes with a finger to tighten the airflow.
The pod opening has magnets inside as well as the two spring loaded contacts. At first I didn’t know if there were magnets since the bottom of the pod doesn’t appear to have any so I took a paper clip and tried to see if it would stick to the bottom of the pod and it didn’t but did stick to the inside of the pod opening. It’s hard to tell exactly but I think there are magnets around the contact pins inside the opening. I could tell that there were some kind of magnets holding the pod in place. However there must just be some metal in the bottom of the pod that is attracted to the magnets in the opening of the battery. The USB-C charging port for the 490mah battery is located on the bottom of the battery so you won’t be standing it up while charging.
The pods for the IORE are disposable and do not use replaceable coils. The pod is clearly marked on one side with the Eleaf name and the 1.0 ohm coil resistance. The pod is a side fill so you will have to remove the pod in order to fill it. I have reviewed a lot of pods and I think the rubber plug on this one is the easiest I have ever used to get a grip on and pull up for refilling. The duck bill style mouthpiece was very comfortable to use and have no issues with it.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Every once in a while I get a simple pod that is just a good fit for my style of vaping and the IORE LITE 2 just so happens to be one of those. The slightly restricted airflow matched with the 1.0 ohm coil and a nice output level provided a nice vaping experience for me. I know not everyone likes the same thing but it was a good fit for what I like. Also, from what I have seen online, these are going to be very inexpensive so you could easily afford to have a couple backups to rotate between while one is charging. It’s small and lightweight which makes it a good pocket carry in my experience. I do kind of wish that it had a little more battery capacity but you can get through a whole pod and a little more before it needs recharging.
After filling the pod and waiting a few minutes to get saturated while topping off the battery, I was pleasantly surprised by the airflow and vapor production from this little pod. I honestly wasn’t expecting much with just a 480mah battery. I guess I got lucky because the airflow was just how I like it which is a semi loose MTL draw. I felt like the vapor and flavor production was pretty good using a mint mix that I use a lot at work. After running the pod down about ¾ of the way then I started getting a little gurgling and the output seemed to scale back. At this point I just went ahead and recharged the battery and filled the pod and was back up and running in good condition. This one isn’t going to be good for all day use but would be a good small pocket carry for short trips out and about. Initially I thought it was because the battery was getting low that the gurgling started but after recharging and running the pod down about ¾ of the way again, I refilled the pod without recharging and it vaped fine for a while longer until the battery finally drained and I was forced to recharge again.
Overall, this is really a decent little simplistic pod that would be great for going out shopping or running errands. If I was going to give this one to someone to quit smoking then I would give them two so they can have one charging while using the other due to the small battery size.
I’d like to thank Eleaf and Adela for sending the Eleaf IORE 2 pods for this review. Thanks as always to the readers. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to read my reviews. Below is a link to the website if you’d like to take a closer look.
