Vape Snapshot: Atopack Magic Pod Mod Starter Kit from Joyetech

The Atopack Magic Pod Mod Starter Kit is one of the most unique pod systems currently available.The Atopack is larger than most devices in the pod class, but what's most unique is that it doesn’t utilize a traditional resistance wire coil. These features set it apart from other pod devices on the market.

The device comes with a huge (for a pod device) 1300mAh battery and a massive refillable 7 ml pod for e-liquid. That’s even bigger than a lot of sub-ohm tanks. This device is for vapers who enjoy portable systems that some serious runtime between charges or refills.   

Design

The design for this device is rare in the pod-based class because of its size. It’s much bigger than most pod mods, requiring space to accommodate its powerful battery and larger-than-average e-liquid storage. It’s also got a beautiful, sleek build with great ergonomics and an excellently placed button and nicely shaped mouthpiece.   

Heating Film

The most notable design quirk of this device is the lack of traditional heating coils. Instead of coils, it uses a heating film rated at 0.6 ohm resistance. The heating film kind of looks like miniature vents that generate heat when you fire it up with its nifty button. Unique to this device, there’s a cotton wick replacement system with the suggestion that it’s changed every three tanks of e-liquid. The device comes with a 50-pack of spare cotton wicks that can be swapped in a matter of seconds, offering a huge improvement over pods that have to be thrown away after a handful of fills.

Regulated Voltage

The Atopack Magic delivers a regulated 3.2 voltage for its entire battery life. This means that every draw you take from your device has the same amount of power from start to finish. While most pod mod devices lose voltage when the battery cycle starts to trail off, regulated voltage will keep it going at a constant as long as you still have battery. And paired with a 0.6 resistance coil, you're getting a power output around 17 watts, significantly higher than other devices in the pod category.

Other Features

This pod mod has a number of features that make it really inviting to vapers who want to step up from traditional pod mods. Its larger tank and powerful draw make it perfect hybrid for both high-nicotine and nic salts and traditional e-liquid lovers as well as users who prefer traditional low-nicotine flavors. It also comes in three magical colors, black, blue, and silver, each one has an inviting shiny gloss finish.

Drawbacks

One thing to keep in mind with regard to the Atopack Magic is that it’s a cooler vape than most other pod systems, owing to a looser airflow that's on the border between direct-to-lung and restricted direct lung draw. We've also heard that the first couple draws after refilling can produce some unwanted gurgling and spillage. Finally, if you prefer portable devices that are smaller, this isn’t the device for you. The Atopack Magic is definitely on the bigger side when it comes to the world of pod mods, occupying almost as much real estate in your hand as some smaller advanced mods.

Takeaway

If you’re a fan of cooler, open draws, or larger devices with long battery life, there’s nothing quite like the Atopack Magic Pod Mod Starter Kit. The biggest appeal, though, is going to be the replaceable wicking that should save you a lot of money compared to pods designed to be disposable. This device is in a class of its own, if you're looking to step up from beginner-level pod systems without investing in an advanced mod the Atopack Magic could hit your sweet spot.
