    Somewhere between here and there
    Hello again. Today I will be talking about the first Suorin device that I’ve ever tried. I was sent three new devices made by Suorin and didn’t realize that through the years I’ve been vaping that I had never tried a device made by them. I really don’t have a reason. I guess I just hadn’t seen one that interested me in the past. Today I’ll just be talking about one of the three which is the Suorin Air Pro. It’s a fairly simplistic device with a couple nice features. I will try to keep it short and to the point.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

    Having never tried a Sourin device before I really had no idea what to expect. To be honest, I hadn’t even heard of the Air Pro before or earlier revisions. The packaging for the kit was nice enough but I immediately noticed that there was only one pod in the kit box. However, Sourin did send me a couple of spares for it which was nice. I do however think that all pod kits should come with either two pods or two coils depending on what kind of device it is. The sample that I received is the ice blue color. It is very nice looking but also very shiny which translates to the fact that it’s a fingerprint magnet. This may bother some people but honestly I’m not really that picky when it comes to stuff like that.

    I was surprised at how thin the Air Pro is. The body is made of zinc alloy. The design reminds me of an Iphone or macbook. It amazes me that they can fit everything into such a thin design. As far as branding goes it has Suorin Air Pro on one side and Suorin and their logo symbol on the other side. On one of the thinner 12.7mm sides is a single button. Five presses will turn the device on or off. The button can also be used to fire the Air Pro if you don’t want to use the auto draw function. To me it’s a little awkward to fire it using the button and definitely prefer the auto draw on this one. When it is turned on there is a haptic alert in the form of a vibration and the single light on the fire button will flash. The Air Pro has a 930mah internal battery which is one of the places where this device shines especially as compact as it is. The indicator light on the button shows green, blue, or red depending on the level of the battery. Of course, when it turns red, it’s time to charge the device. On the thin side opposite of the fire button is the USB micro charge port and there is one small airflow hole on each of the thin sides. On the bottom of the Air Pro are what appear to be charging contacts. I checked on the Suorin website and that is in fact what they are. I didn’t get one for the review but their site says that there is what they call a Pogo charging dock available for the Air Pro. Inside the top of the device where the pod inserts, there are two contacts, two magnets and an airflow tube.

    The pod for the Air Pro has a capacity of 4.9ml which is the second place where I consider this pod device to stand out. Suorin says that each pod is good for 6 uses which comes out to almost 30ml of liquid. I don’t know about others but I tend to use pods as long as possible and probably too long but as long as it’s working and the flavor is half way decent then I keep using them. I have not run through six refills yet but after three so far the flavor is still good and don’t have any leaking. The opening on the mouthpiece is offset and not in the center. I felt that it was fairly comfortable to use but thought if it was on one corner instead of to the side then it might be a little more comfortable to use. The pods use what they are calling a LAVAL nozzle airway design. I don’t know what that stands for but it is supposed to take away more heat by speeding up the airflow. The pods are slightly tinted but I can easily see the liquid level without additional light.

    The pod does not have replaceable coils. The coil that is built into the pod is a 1.0 ohm mesh coil and has an output rating of 18 watts. I felt like it delivered very good flavor for a pod device. The pods are bottom fill with the standard rubber plug. I was able to fill fairly easily but commonly use 10 and 50ml plastic bottles so the tips aren’t very big.

    FINAL THOUGHTS:

    The Suorin Air Pro has a totally different shape than any other pod device I have tried. Like I mentioned before, it amazes me that you can fit a battery, charging port, and electronics in such a thin device.

    Overall I thought the Air Pro performed well. The flavor was pretty good and the vapor production was good also. The mouthpiece was comfortable enough for me and the pod capacity was a nice feature as well as the battery capacity.

    The Air Pro will easily fit in a pocket without bulging or being really very noticeable. I do think it shines as an auto draw device and found it awkward to button fire. It was nice how it vibrates and has an indicator light.

    So, would I recommend it? It might not be for everyone but I liked it well enough. The 4.9ml capacity paired with a 930mah battery is a good fit in my opinion for an out and about carry device. It would be nice if you could shut off the fire button and still auto draw but this one doesn’t do that.

    A big thank you goes out to Suorin and Mira for sending the Air Pro for this review. Also a very big thank you to the readers. You did it. You made it to the end again! Below is a link to the Suorin site if you’d like to check it out.

    Nice review! I wish companies would forgo the bottom fill, but it’s not a deal breaker. This one has a nice pod size. Do you know what they’re going to retail for?

    Thanks. I’ve seen the kits as low as $15 and pods under $3.

    Great review! I like the design and pod size but I'm too OCD for the fingerprint magnet finish :) I also have a mental block about non changeable coil disposable pods but I can see where it takes away having to handle a used coil.

    Thanks. I get it. Certain things bother certain people. My only problem with not having replaceable coils is that it makes it difficult to switch flavors.
