Hello again. I’m here with you today to take a look at the Vapefly Tim Pod kit that was sent to me by sourcemore in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The Tim Pod has an 1100mah internal battery with a maximum output of 30 watts. It is produced by Dampfalot and Vapefly. It boasts a step up circuit board that brings stable power production. One thing that is different from most other pods that I’ve reviewed is that it offers a 5V/2A charging rate that should allow the battery to be charged in about 30-40 minutes. The pod cartridge on this one uses replaceable coils that helps to reduce waste. The pod cartridge has a whopping 4ml liquid capacity and makes use of a side fill port.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Tim Pod is small but seems nice and the box has a feeling of quality compared to many I’ve unboxed. The front of the box has the Vapefly name near the top with the Tim Pod name below that in much larger font. There is a color picture of the Tim Pod on the front but it doesn’t match the color version contained inside. I received the gunmetal version while the black/red version is shown on the box. The back side of the box has a list of features with icons along with a contents list and QR code.
Once the top of the box is lifted off, the Tim Pod device is seen with the 4ml cartridge and .8 ohm coil pre-installed. Underneath the foam insert, the user manual, warranty card, USB-C charging cord, and spare .6 ohm coil can be found.
The cartridge does come with a clear sticker over the bottom of the pod and .8 ohm coil that are pre-installed to prevent accidental firing before filling. This is pretty standard no matter the device these days. There are two very strong magnets on the cartridge as well as two inside the pod opening on the Tim Pod. To me they are just the right strength of magnets where you can pick up the device without the pod slipping while they aren’t so strong as to make it difficult to remove the pod from the device. The pod opening on the device has the standard two spring loaded contacts as well as the raised airflow sensor. The Tim Pod can be auto fired or button fired using the fire button on the face of the device. The fill port on the cartridge is on the side and large enough to accomodate most bottle tips.
The front of the Tim Pod has a cutout near the top to help the user see the liquid level while the pod is inserted and in use. Below that is the display screen followed by a single multifunction fire button. Near the bottom is the Tim name etched on the device. The back side just has the Dampfalot TV and Vapefly names etched near the bottom. There are grooves on each side of the Tim Pod that add to the hand feel of the device. Also located on one side is the airflow control that has a small knob protruding to make adjustment easier. There are three different airflow holes on the sliding adjuster that allow precise control from MTL to RDL. The USB-C charging port is located on the bottom along with the 1100mah rating stamped into the base.
The Tim Pod display is fairly simplistic. There is a battery level indicator, set wattage, coil resistance, and output voltage. It does use a step up chip and has a maximum output of 6 volts/ 30 watts.
Like most devices the Tim Pod uses the pressing of the fire button 5X to turn it on/off. There are two available operation modes. They are Auto (smart) and DIY. To switch between them you press the fire button 5X like you are going to power off the device and quick press the fire button to choose between Auto, DIY, or Power off. Like many other variable wattage pods, you press the fire button 3X and the display will flash and you can adjust the wattage by pressing the fire button. You can also press the fire button 4X to lock the fire button but can still auto draw the device. Besides all these great functions, the Tim Pod also vibrates when you first install a pod into the device and will also vibrate as a warning if the battery level falls below 3.2v.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I’ve enjoyed testing the Vapefly Tim Pod. It has a lot of positive aspects going for it. With the 4ml pod, 1100mah battery with a 6V step up are a step above many of the pod devices I’ve reviewed in the past. The sliding airflow adjustment works very well and easily allows a range from tight MTL to RDL.
I used the same liquid on both the .6 and .8 ohm coils. It was a guava green tea mix. I felt like the coils both provided very good flavor and vapor production. I liked the .8 ohm coil at 17 watts with the airflow mostly closed for a slightly restricted MTL. For the .6 ohm coil I opened up the airflow and bumped the wattage up to 22 watts for a tight RDL. I was very happy with the performance from both.
As far as pod devices go, I would have to say that the Tim Pod is one of the best that I’ve tried. There were zero signs of condensation or leaking while providing good flavor and having a superior liquid capacity and available output voltage.
