sourcemore sent me the uwell Whirl T1 Pod mod Kit for the purpose of this review.
The Whirl T1 is a draw activated pod mod that is so small and simple, it’s almost perfect for anyone who is trying to quit smoking via vaping. Charge it, fill it, vape it. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
All you get in the box is the pod mod with the UN2 meshed-H .75 ohm refillable pod already installed, a warning card, and a user manual. There is no charging cable in the box, so I checked Sourcemore’s description, and it says one will be provided separately. I didn’t receive one – not a problem for me, as I have a couple of them – but it could be a problem for a new vaper. I can imagine how easily these could be mailed out or sold at shops without the cords, and someone would be opening the box at home with no way to charge their new gear. I have a lot of nice things to say about this pod, but this needs to be addressed before I’ll recommend it.
The pod holds 3 mls of liquid, and is filled through a tiny port in the bottom – see the red silicon. I’m not a fan of the bottom fill, especially when there is plenty of room on top of the pod for a port. But so far it hasn’t leaked. On the back, there’s an air flow adjuster, and it closes down to a nice MTL, opens to a decent restricted DL. It’s better than I expected, really. It clips into the mod securely with a tiny ridge around the inside of the mod and minuscule tabs on the pod. Tabs is perhaps not the right word, more like little nubs. Put it this way, they don’t stick out enough to break off, and I’m sure they’ll hold up just fine over the life of the pod. I’ve been pulling the pod repeatedly and so far they’re not even phased.
The air flow adjuster - slide to the right for open, left for closed.
Why am I pulling the pod so much, you ask? Of course to fill it, to see how those nubs hold up, and to adjust the air. But also because that’s how you adjust the power setting. Both the mod and pod are triangular in shape, and the power output is changed by spinning the pod. On the screen, one arrow lights up for 14 watts, two arrows for 15 watts, and three arrows for 16 watts. I love this. There’s no way to accidentally change your power output.
Before use, pull that blue safety tape off. The fill port is visible in this picture, but sorry, I could not get a good shot of the numbers. If the fill port aligns with the screen, the device is on its lowest setting. If II, it's on medium, III is for high.
The mod has a plastic bottom and screen, with an aluminum wrap around the body for durability. The battery is 1300 mAh, and charges on the bottom with a C type charger. That’s another thing I’m not a fan of. The shape of this mod means it stands up nicely, why would you want to lay it down to charge it?
The .70 ohm pod gives good flavor and reasonable vapor. The kit is small, light, and comfortable to hold, perfect for pocket or purse. Nice looking, too. It comes in red, light blue, grey, camo, dark blue and black.
Shown here in light blue.
With a few tweaks, this could be a really great kit. It works well, the flavor is quite good, it charges fast, it's durable and conveniently sized. Not a fan of the bottom fill, bottom charge, and no cable in the box, and for those reasons I likely won't be investing in any replacement pods.
You can buy this kit at Sourcemore for $17.10 with code WHIRK.
Thanks, Sourcemore for the opportunity to review the Whirl T1!
