I would like to introduce you to the newest member of the “Feelin” gang – the Nevoks Feelin AR.
I have previously reviewed the Nevoks Feelin X, Feelin A1, Feelin AX and Feelin 2 pod kits.
Nevoks were created in 2019 in Shenzhen China.
Thank you to Nevoks for sending over two of the Feelin AR kits and the full range of replaceable pods for review! I will report back honestly on the devices in my possession.
What To Expect From The Nevoks Feelin AR Pod Kit…
The first thing that catches my eye about this kit is the price! At most vendors this is around the same price as 3x disposable vapes (600 puff ones)!
Therefore this kit has more of a “budget” vibe with only 1 pod included but you do get a USB cable!
This kit is based on the Feelin A1 kit and uses the same pods.
There 4 resistance options of pods to choose from: 0.4ohm, 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm.
They come with a 3ml capacity as standard and a side fill port, but there are also the 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm top filling 2ml TPD compliant pods as well.
The Nevoks Feelin AR kit includes 1x 0.8ohm pod.
Inside the device body is a 1000mAh battery which is charged using the USB Type C port at a 1A charge rate. Nevoks state this will take around 85 minutes.
The output is specified as 9-30W and the device will automatically adjust the output to suit the pod installed.
To make life even more simple this has auto draw firing – so no fiddling about with buttons!
An LED indicator is provided to display battery charge and device status – we will discuss this further in the Quick Start section.
On the side of the device an airflow adjustment slider is provided to tailor the incoming airflow to your preference.
There are 9 colours to choose from: Misty Blue, Mint Green, Burgundy Red, Pale Yellow, Melon Orange, Cream White, Light Lavender, Coral Pink and Charcoal Black.

Nevoks Feelin AR Design and Build Quality
I received the Charcoal Black and Burgundy Red versions.
The box is nice and compact. You open it and pull out the blown plastic tray. Be careful as the paperwork and USB cable are tucked underneath the tray. You will find the device with pod in the top of the tray.
The instructions are great and massive. You will see one side in the image below, the other side is also in English too so everything is covered.
I spotted a few errors between the instruction manual and specs on the website. We contacted Nevoks who have sent us corrections. I will be using the updated specs in this review.
There is a downloadable instruction manual for those who prefer to zoom in – click here.
A handy card is included which displays all of the compatible Feelin A1 pods and the suggested power level and nicotine strength for each.
Nevoks Feelin AR Mod
The body colour looks like a brushed metallic finish, but when you actually hold the device it has a rubbery, soft texture! You genuinely would think it was metal!
It is quite a basic design with the front having a slight channel in the middle where the LED indicator and “Nevoks” logo lives.
The LED indicator is a bit small in proportion to the rest of the mod but it is plenty bright enough.
On the right side of the device you will find the airflow adjustment slider. This has a “rubbery” feel when you slide it. So it isn’t exactly stiff just feels like there is a restriction there. This is a good thing as it stops the blumming airflow adjusting on its own.
On the opposite side is the USB type C port which works fine and I have had no issues. It is a bit difficult to charge it standing upright but you could of course prop it against something.
The rear is plain apart from the “Feelin AR” logo etched in. This etching has a shiny finish in contrast to the brushed finish.
The base is made of a hard Black textured plastic and the legal logos and battery capacity are etched in.
We have a very deep pod compartment here, so if you do get any leaks or want to clean the contacts you will need a Cotton Bud / Q-Tip as you won’t be able to reach with just some tissue.
Inside the compartment are 2 spring loaded electrical contacts and 2 magnets. The magnetic pull is strong and if you insert a pod half way the magnets will pull it fully in. But it is not a struggle to remove the pod either so Nevoks have exactly the right balance.
One slight down point is that there is limited view of the e-liquid level.
On the fully clear 3ml pods around 1/2 of the pod is concealed. With the 2ml pods, there is only a small window to view the e-liquid level due to the Black mouthpiece and the rest of the pod hiding in the mod.
I have to say the build quality is the best I have seen from Nevoks to date!
Nevoks A1 Pod
The pod is exactly the same as the Nevoks Feelin A1 kit – so I have copied and pasted this part of the review!
I was sent both types of pods – side fill 3ml pods and top fill 2ml pods in all 4 available resistances.
Side Fill 3ml Pod
This for me was the best design. The whole pod is a tinted colour and the top half is perfectly clear. The bottom half has a slight frosting which is a shame.
Even so the e-liquid level is clear to see. However when installed on the mod you will only be able to see half of the pod. Meaning when the e-liquid level has dropped below this point you will have to keep removing the pod to check it.
I love the mouthpiece it is wide but slim in thickness and quite square, but extremely comfortable in use.
On one side the resistance and “Nevoks A1” is clearly marked and both sides have a “min” level line etched in.
The fill port is covered by a Silicone cover with the lift side marked with an arrow and a small indent to allow you to insert a nail to lift the cover.
The fill port is an oval shape and roughly 5mm by 3.5ml and it was fine for my 30ml and 60ml bottles.
On the base you will find the required legal logos etched in, plus the 4 airflow inlets, 2 electrical contacts and 2 strong magnets.
Top Fill 2ml Pod
This pod is for us poor buggers in the TPD regulated areas as it will only hold 2ml.
It is the same height as the 3ml pod which surprised me.
This time the top half of the pod is covered by the Black plastic removable mouthpiece. It is not as difficult to remove as some top fill pods I have tried but it does take a bit of budging.
I suggest snapping it off by gripping the pod and mouthpiece. I have added a video in the filling section.
Below that you will find a Silicone lift up cover with an arrow and a cut out to lift with a finger nail.
You can then swing the cover out of the way to access the port.
As with the side fill pod, this has an oval fill port measuring roughly 3.5ml by 5ml and it performed fine with my e-liquid bottles.
With the fill port cover lifted you can also access the vapour outlet path – which should not be used to add e-liquid as this will cause spitting and flooding.
The rest of the pod is the same as the side fill, with the slightly frosted bottom half, the same printing and base.
The capacity is reduced as the pod does not continue behind the mouthpiece – it has a flat top. This also means the e-liquid level view is reduced too.
Quick Start Guide
The device arrives with the 0.8ohm pod installed.
However there is an isolation sticker on the base of the pod to prevent the mod firing until the pod is full of e-liquid. If you fire the device with an empty pod installed it will damage the pod and render it scrap! Very important to take note of this when you only have 1 pod in the kit.
So you will need to fill the pod with e-liquid, remove the isolator sticker and get vaping! I will cover the process below!
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off = This has no on/off function
- Vaping = Simply inhale on the mouthpiece to trigger the auto draw activation.
- Battery indicator = When vaping the LED indicator will light up and the colour denotes the battery charge remaining: Green = 60-100%, Blue = 30-60% and Red = less than 30%.
- Battery indicator when charging = When you first plug in the charger the LED will flash once from Red, Blue to Green. Then the LED indicator will pulse to display the battery charge progress. Red = 0-30%, Blue – 30-70%, Green = 70-90% and a solid Green light = 90-100%. When fully charged the LED will turn off.
- Airflow = Slide the airflow slider up and down.
Protections
- No Atomiser / Resistance too high: If there is no pod installed, an open circuit or the coil resistance is too high – the LED will flash White 5 times and device will stop working. Clean all the pod and device contacts. If not rectified try a new pod. If the fault continues the device may be defective.
- Low Battery: When the battery voltage drops below 3.3V the Red LED flashes 10 times. The device will shut down and needs to be charged to continue vaping.
- Short circuit: If there is a short circuit the White LED will stay on for 5 seconds and the device will stop working. Clean all the pod and device contacts. If not rectified try a new pod. If the fault continues the device may be defective.
- Over time protection: If you inhale for longer than 10 seconds the LED will flash Red 5 times and the fire will cut out. Simply inhale again to continue. This is to prevent accidental firing which could lead to damage or overheating.
How To Charge The Battery
The charging rate is specified as 1A.
- Using a USB type C cable, connect the small end into the USB port on the mod.
- Connect the large end of the cable into a suitable USB outlet.
- The LED indicator displays the charging progress and turns off when fully charged.
Nevoks state this will take around 85 minutes to charge.
I found this to take around 95 minutes when I charged it so the estimated time is 10 minutes short.
How To Fill the Pod
There are 2 pod styles – the top fill and side fill so I will cover the filling methods for both.
If using a new pod leave to stand for 5-10 minutes after first fill to allow the coil to saturate with e-liquid.
Make sure to fill when the e-liquid level is above the minimum marking on the side of the pod.
Top Fill
- Push on the mouthpiece to get it to click off. I have recorded how I do it below (excuse my dodgy hands!)
- Lift up the port cover in the direction of the arrow.
- Add e-liquid to the oval shaped port. Do not add e-liquid to the centre port as this will cause flooding and spitting.
- Watch the e-liquid level through the side of the pod.
- Replace the fill port cover firmly.
- Replace the mouthpiece until it clicks.
Side Fill
- Remove the pod from the mod.
- Tip the pod on its side and lift up the fill port cover in the direction of the arrow.
- Rotate the cover out of the way if needed.
- Add e-liquid to the fill port watching the level through the side of the pod.
- Replace the fill port cover firmly.
How Does the Nevoks Feelin AR Perform?
I used my 50% PG / 50% VG Bubblegum e-liquid with 6mg nicotine salt. I mix this myself from the IVG concentrate.
Nevoks recommend an e-liquid ratio of 40%VG up to 60%VG for the pods.
The included tips card also shows the recommended power settings and nicotine strengths for each pod.
The kit does only include the 0.8ohm pod. I have reviewed the rest of the pod range in the Nevoks Feelin A1 kit review but I will pass comment on how they perform in this kit. The pods not included in the kit will not be scored they are for reference only.

0.8ohm Nevoks A1 Pod
I really love this pod and for some reason it seems to perform even better with the Feelin AR kit than some of the other devices in the range?
The output power is perfectly matched to the pod.
It doesn’t get too hot whilst also being nice and warm to make sure your flavour shines through.
This really is in harmony with the mod.
I would compare the flavour from this pod to some of the more modern Uwell Caliburn kits – it is that good!
The performance is only slightly below my favourite OXVA Xlim pods – but it is only very marginal!
0.6ohm Nevoks A1 Pod
This is a lovely pod and the Feelin AR seems to have selected the perfect power output for it.
This has a bit more “fierceness” than the 0.8ohm and you can feel the increase in warmth and vapour. A really lovely vape.
0.4ohm Nevoks A1 Pod
For this pod I thought I would change things a bit and use a thicker e-liquid designed for this type of resistance.
So I used the Choppa Vapes Blue Slush e-liquid which has a 64% VG and 36% PG ratio. I have added no nicotine to this.
You can feel how much more powerful the vape is with this pod.
Nevoks recommend between 25-30W for this and I would say the device has selected the sweet spot at around the higher power limit of 30W.
The flavour is banging and nice and warm to bring out more of the finer details of my Blue Slush. Especially the sweet syrupy notes!
A good quantity of vapour is produced too!
Airflow
To help rate how restricted the airflow is, I use a scale – where 0 = fully closed, no airflow up to 10 = breathing fresh air.
The 0.8ohm pod I would say is about 2 when fully closed – you can still get a tight MTL vape but it doesn’t fully close down. Fully open I would say this is around 4 which is bordering on RDL territory.
However the airflow seems to change depending on the pod installed.
For instance, the 0.6ohm and 0.4ohm pods ranged from 2.5 to 4.5 – catering for MTL and RDL vaping.
But the 1.2ohm pod has a much tighter airflow range from 1 to 3.5.
Mod Performance
I have experienced no issues at all in use.
It fires up super quickly with the automatic draw activation!
The power output is pretty consistent until the last 5 or 6 vapes where you can feel the output becoming weaker. But this is pretty normal.
The mod automatically adjusts the output to suit the pod installed and every time it felt spot on. I tried all 4 resistance options of pods and the mod selected the perfect output to get the best flavour.
My only minor whines are that it does take ages to charge. I love the fact it has a great 1000mAh battery, but charging at only 1A means this takes over 1.5 hours to fully charge.
Leaks
Not a dribble!
Battery Life
This is always a variable and will depend on the pod installed, output level selected and your own vaping habits.
Also worth noting that I had the 3ml pod capacity and I am a heavy vaper.
I got around 7-8 hours (roughly 3 refills) with the 0.8ohm pod.
Pros
- Bargain price – equivalent to 2 or 3 disposable vapes!
- Great battery capacity – 1000mAh
- Excellent flavour from the included 0.8ohm pod
- Simple device which is perfect for beginners – especially with the side fill pod
- Lovely soft texture to the mod
- Excellent build quality
- No leaks or malfunctions
- Mod selects perfect output automatically
- 4 different pod resistances to choose from
- Great airflow adjustment
Cons
- Only one pod included in the kit – but the price is very low to reflect this
- E-liquid view is impeded – only half the 3ml pod visible (only 1/4 with the 2ml pod)
- LED indicator is small but quite bright
- Top fill pod is a bit awkward to open (but I do suffer with my hand joints)
- Slow to charge – could do with being a 2A charge rate
Nevoks Feelin AR Final Review Verdict
I have tried many models in the Feelin range and they have been good but never quite reached the level of excellent.
However I’m feel-in (sorry – not sorry) that this version is pretty bloody excellent!
Nevoks have kept improving with each device and they are so close to perfection now!
I have had no quality issues and the flavour from the included 0.8ohm pod is wonderful!
The battery life is perfect and operation wise it ticks all the boxes.
If you are looking for simplicity and great flavour this is well worth adding to your shopping list.
Sadly the ease of use does drop slightly with the 2ml top fill pods which can be awkward to open – but I do have dodgy hands so might be my fault.
I have a few minor niggles such as the slow 1A charging and most of the pod is concealed in the mod so e-liquid view is impeded.
Nevoks state it will charge in 85 minutes, but for me each charge was around 95 minutes – so their estimate is about 10 minutes short.
One other moan could be the fact there is only 1 pod included in the kit – but when you see the price you can totally excuse this. Personally I would rather sacrifice having a USB C cable and have an extra pod instead.
The performance for me with the 0.8ohm pod is comparable to a Uwell Caliburn, at a lot lower price.
I wish great quality kits were this inexpensive when I first started vaping!
