There have been plenty of small vape kits hit the market but the Sourin Air is the smallest pod vape I have personally seen (not including some cig-a-likes) by far.
When I say small, I mean SMALL, or should I say small.
The Suorin Air: It Will Fit In Your Wallet but Does The Size Effect Performance?
However you say it I was surprised when I took this out of the box. It has to be said I also thought it might be a bit on the rubbish side. Lets find out after weeks of use how I got on with this e cig.
- 1 x Suorin Air Device (Battery + Cartridge)
- 1 x USB cable
- 1 x User Manual
- Dimensions: 86mm(H) x 43mm(L) x 8mm(W) (Yup.. 8mm!)
- Cartridge Capacity: 2ml
- Battery: 400mAh
- Power output: 16W
Design and Build Quality
Did I mention this thing was small? Just in case you missed it the Suorin Air is tiny, the slimmest vape device I’ve tried. Not surprisingly it’s also feather light but with it has a decent solid feel that is nice in the hand. I personally thing the design is superb.
The Suorin is simple. A micro USB port on the base and an on/off switch on the side making for a ‘pick up and vape’ device.
Mine was delivered in the off position so if you think it doesn’t work make sure it’s turned on.. Yep.. Speaking from experience here! The simple things hey..
The battery comes with a 400mAh capacity, which is surprising considering the overall size.
The tank is made from plastic and slots in the top of the battery. Not the smoothest of actions but once in the added magnet connectors keep it in place firmly.
The coil is built into the tank itself so replacing the whole tank is needed when the time comes. Not a huge deal as the tanks are reasonably priced and the life of the tank, for me, was good. Suorin recommend changing after 5 refills but I’m into around 10+ refills and still good.
How To Fill The Suorin Air Pod
Filling is simple with the following steps:
- Remove tank from battery
- Unplug the rubber stopper on the base of the tank
- Fill – Take care not to overfill
- Pop the rubber plug back in
- Wait 5-10 minutes for the e-liquid to soak into the coil
- Vape
How Does The Suorin Air Perform?
It goes without saying the Suorin Air isn’t built for clouds. It’s aimed at both new vapers or simply experienced vapers that want a true stealthy device.
Despite the size it’s very good indeed. For a mouth to lung device I personally found it to offer good flavour and vapour production. I’ll say again though don’t expect big clouds!
It’s a little strange getting used to the corner positioning of the vapour outlet where you take a draw. I also found sometimes having to take a couple of primer puffs to get things going was needed as well.
This is an automatic device so no button pressing. Auto devices do, I find, sometimes need a little primer puff now and then.
I have used this when out and about, especially when watching football in bars where I can get away with a cheeky stealth vape now and then using the trusty old inhale and hold method.
I’ve found myself throwing the Air in my shirt or jean pocket when I’m running out the house as a back up/alternative to the box mod I’m using at the time.
If you wanted it would easily slip into a wallet in place of a credit card. It’s that slim.
The battery life has been good for the size, not yet been caught short and from a full charge have managed most of a day moderately vaping.
Coil life is also good along with e-liquid consumption, it’s definitely NOT a thirsty tank. Although capacity is just 2ml it lasted me a couple of days before a refill was needed.
I used a 70VG/30PG e liquid, Bango by Froot. The Suorin handled this higher VG juice just fine. In fact, Suorin actually recommend this ratio as the optimal juice to use. They also recommend not going below 60VG/40PG as they say leaking may occur.
If your not too sure about the differences in these ratios check out our guide to PG and VG in e liquid.
Pros
- Tiny, slim and lightweight
- Good battery life
- Good flavour
- Very easy to use
Cons
- Nothing really warrants a true con for me.
Final Review Verdict
I’ve got to say the Suorin Air e cig not only surprised me but has become a go to secondary device when I’m out and about.
If you are looking for a true stealth vape device then this should be one to keep an eye on.
Would I buy The Suorin Air if I lost or broke that device? In a heartbeat.
This thing is a joke. I got 3 for bringing to a vaping banned country to use when on holiday.
First one I had it the longest, about 2 months. It leaked so badly that it messes up the inhale sensor. However there are tips online how to fix it.
Ordered two more, one directly from CN like the first, and one from a UK store.
Tested the CN one to confirm that it works and packed it away with a new pod for the holiday. It immediately fired on an empty pod with the switch on the OFF position! The glowing red coil burnt out the wick and wasted a brand new pod. Something in it must be fried. Ok, so I thought I will swap the insides with the brand new one from UK. The reason I got 3 is the UK shop listed it as black but really is grey and I really need this to be unobvious as possible.
Took the brand new UK one apart to find that the battery is already puffed, making it really dangerous. I had blown a mod up before and know how much of a bang these things can go. Bringing that on a plane will be a mistake!
And to top it off, the vape is tasteless. Suorin is probably the worst brand I had ever used. (I also have the Air Mod which is pretty rubbish)
Just got this today, and from first impressions, I would say good review is spot on. The Sourin Air is tiny, stylish, and surprisingly powerful for it’s ultra. compact size. It hits more strongly than the portable Smok Mico I have. The only advantage, if you’d call it one, of the Mico is the lanyard that came with it.
We’ll see how this operates over the next few weeks, but so far I’m impressed, especially for the price.
This thing is crap. The leaking issue that I’ve seen described elsewhere is prolific. I don’t know how they get recommended tank replacement after 5-10 uses. My first 2 (and last 2) tanks leaked after my 2nd fill. That is NOT economical.
If that’s your opinion on vaping, I’d hate to see what you have to say about spelling.
Thanks for the thorough description. Found this in my son’s night stand and didn’t know what it was. After reading this artcle I took it, put it in my pocket, went to the basement, grabbed a hammer, back to the kitchen, got out outlr stonewre cutting board, slammed it on the kitchen table while he was eating breakfast. Set the sauron air on the cutting board and busted hit hard twice with hammer. Looked him in the eye and said “That is my opinion of vaping. Do you understand my opinikn?” He said yes. I think I got the point a across. He got a full ride to college, straight A’s in high school, 3.4 first semester, and is failin a class this semester.
