Hello and welcome back. I’m back with you today to talk about the new Innokin Endura V pod kit that was sent to me by Innokin in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The Endura V is the latest version in the Endura series. If I remember correctly there are at least four other devices that are included in the Endura line of products. The Endura V is a true beginner kit. It only comes with one pod and no charging cable. It is designed to be an MTL device and comes with one VCAP pod rated at .6 ohms but is compatible with all three of the available VCAP pods. The Endura V has an internal battery rated at 1200mah with a maximum output of 21 watts. The V is an auto draw device only and doesn’t have a fire button or display but does have adjustable airflow which is a very important feature to me. There is a 3 level battery indicator light that allows the user to keep tabs on the battery level.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Endura V is about as simple as the device itself. The front of the box has a nice color picture with the color name underneath and of course the Innokin and Endura V names. The back side of the box has a warning, list of contents, and company information. The sides of the box has a list of features on one side and sketch of the Endura with a note letting the consumer know that it is compatible with all three VCAP pods.
The box opens from either the top or bottom of the box. It really doesn’t matter which end it is opened from. Instead of the usual tray holding the device, the Endura is packaged in a paper envelope much like Innokin uses for packaging accessories in other kits I’ve received from them. There is the device with a single .6 ohm pod pre-installed, the quick start guide, and that’s it. I’ve never agreed with including a single pod in a kit in case the one included is defective. The included pod does have a safety seal on the bottom to prevent accidental firing prior to filling.
The pod included in the kit is the same VCAP pod that was included with the Trine kit that I previously reviewed except that kit came with two pods. Both kits are compatible with the three different resistance rated VCAP pods available for purchase which are .6, .8, and 1.2 ohm.
The VCAP pods are clear so the liquid level is clearly visible. It’s a nice touch that the rubber insert inside each pod is a different color depending on the resistance of the coil inside the pod which makes it especially easy for the user to quickly tell which pod they are using. I simply love that the VCAP pods are a true top fill where you simply remove the mouthpiece and fill the pod through the colored hole in the top.
The body of the Endura V has the Innokin name printed on one side and the Endura V name on what I would call the front of the device simply because that is where the battery indicator light is located. As I mentioned earlier, there are no buttons on the V and it is an auto draw only device. The indicator light shows the battery level in green(100-30%), yellow(30-10%), or red(less than 10%).
The Endura V does have an adjustable airflow control on one side which is an important feature for me. I was able to get a pretty tight MTL to a very tight RDL. I personally wouldn’t use this one as an RDL device even with the .6 ohm pod. It’s just not enough airflow for me to get a comfortable RDL. The 1200mah internal battery on the Endura V is bonus compared to the usual 1000mah that seems to be very common on a lot of pod devices. The V has a charging rate of 5V/1A so it can be charged completely in a little over an hour. The charging port is located on the side on this one but it’s pretty lightweight so it really doesn’t stand up while charging.
The pod opening on the Endura V has the usual two magnets that hold the pod in place very securely as well as two plated spring loaded contacts, The raised airflow sensor is visible as well as the larger than normal airflow inlet hole below the contact on the left side in the picture below. The bottom of the V has the battery rating and battery capacity printed on it. There are also what I believe to be battery venting holes for added safety just in case a battery were to vent.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I have enjoyed testing the Innokin Endura V. I was pretty sure that I would like it since it uses the same VCAP pods as what were included in the Trine kits that I recently reviewed. The difference being that the Trine came with two pods while the Endura V only comes with the one .6 ohm pod. While I like the pod, I’m not a fan of single pod kits for obvious reasons.
The 1200mah battery seemed to last a very long time. I’m sure that it helps that there isn’t a display screen to power on this one. I would think that the single battery indicator light doesn’t use much power. I did notice that the green and yellow indicators were very similar in color and had to do a double take to make sure that the battery light was actually yellow and not green. The red is fairly obvious. I am not sure why Innokin has decided to have such a wide percentage range on the green level. I would prefer to see the green to be 100- 60% and the yellow from 60-30%. The reason being is then the red would come on at 30% which would still give the user a fair amount of time to get back to a place where they could recharge the device.
Innokin was nice enough to include a spare .8 ohm and 1.2 ohm pod with the review samples. All three pods delivered very good flavor and vapor production. I used a mango cookie mix in the .6 ohm pod. I have been using this same mix in a sub ohm tank and the flavor was comparable. For testing the .8 ohm pod I used a strawberry cheesecake mix that came through very well. Finally with the 1.2 ohm pod I used a NET tobacco mix that I have used on and off for some time. I was surprised to find that the 1.2 ohm pod brought out a sour type flavor that I had not picked up on in the different devices I had tried it in so was pleasantly surprised to find a new flavor note in an old recipe.
I’d like to thank Innokin and Alisa for sending the two Innokin Endura V kits and spare pods for my review. It has been a pleasure. Also a big thanks to the readers for joining me for another review. Below is a link to the website for your viewing pleasure.
