Review of Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit

Over the past year, the pod-mod format has become not just popular, but one of the most in demand, and they are increasingly used by vapers, who have always been supporters of memods with drips and powerful box mods with tanks. Such interest and popularity are quite logical; pod-mods are one of the universal options for devices that can be used for both tight cigarette and loose hookah puffs, and you can vape liquids using both organic and salt nicotine. Last year, the Smoant Pasito pod-mod became almost a bestseller, but progress does not stand still, and the company’s developers decided to make something more interesting and meet the requirements of vapers: Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit. This device implements almost everything that a vaper needs: versatility, power, autonomy, ease of maintenance and operation.

General information

Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit is a compact pod-mod, powered by a single 18650 battery, equipped with a reliable and productive AI smart ANT-chip chipset and designed for the use of replaceable evaporators of the Knight 80″ and Pasito coil series. The design of the device is quite traditional for devices of this rectangular format with a drip tip sticking out on the side. Due to the fact that the device runs on an 18650 battery and is controlled by an AI smart ANT-chip, autonomy and performance are at the same level. The developers propose using two types of evaporators and serviceable bases Knight 80″ and Pasito, thanks to it won’t be difficult for a vaper to choose the best option depending on his preferences. You can buy the Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit in five colors: black, Bronze Blue, steel, Tiffany Blue and Night Green.

Equipment

It’s worth saying right away that although the company provides the possibility of using evaporators of the Pasito series and the Knight 80 RBA base, they must be purchased separately. Although, if you look at it, the new device is well equipped:

Battery pack Knight 80 battery;

Removable Knight 80 Pod Cartridge;

Evaporator Knight 80 0.3ohm mesh coil (pre-installed);

Knight 80 0.4ohm dual mesh coil;

USB Type-C cable for charging;

Knight 80 battery pack

At one time, the appearance of the Pasito sub-mod from the Smoant company made a lot of noise, since it was one of the first devices that had a serviceable base. But this device had a number of comments regarding autonomy and control, which the manufacturer successfully corrected in the Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit. It is worth saying that the device is interesting, stylish, productive and versatile, exactly what most vapers need.

The Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit is made in a form factor that is quite familiar today: a rectangular body with rounded corners and a drip tip protruding from the side. The overall dimensions of the device are quite modest – 90*45*27 mm, so there will be no questions regarding its wearing. The company’s designers have clearly worked hard on the appearance of the device, as it has original inserts on the side panels that make it look interesting.

The Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit is powered by a traditional 18650 battery installed under one of the side panels, which is held in place by magnets. You can charge the battery using the USB Type-C connector with a current of 1A, thanks to which the charging time will be short.

An important feature of the Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit is the AI smart ANT-chip, which will pleasantly surprise you not only with its reliability and performance (1-80 Watts), but also with its functionality, since the vaper can use variable wattage, thermal control and Bypass modes. To control the operation of the device, there is a small monochrome display on the side panel, which displays a standard set of information.

Knight 80 Pod Cartridge

The Smoant developers decided not to equip the Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit with an adapter for standard atomizers with a 510 connector, but to provide the ability to use a variety of evaporators and serviceable bases. The cartridge is held in the battery pack using magnets and an additional latch, so that it is securely fixed.

The Smoant company offers to use in the Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit two series of evaporators and RBA bases specially designed for it Knight 80 and Pasito, already familiar to many vapers. It is worth saying that the adapter for using evaporators and the serviced Pasito base, as well as the serviced Knight 80 base, are purchased separately (to be honest, this is a minus). The Knight 80 cartridge is equipped with a non-removable drip tip, at the base of which there is an airflow adjustment ring, and this is good news.

To refill the cartridge, you need to remove it from the battery pack, open the small silicone plug and pour 4 ml of liquid into a fairly small hole.

Conclusions and impressions

Smoant Knight 80 Mod Pod Kit is a pretty decent pod-mod, which, although it won’t be revolutionary, will definitely appeal to vapers for its versatility, autonomy and ease of use. The ability to replace the battery, a large selection of vaporizers and decent power will allow the vaper to choose the best vaping option depending on his preferences.
