IN SHORT:

The Pod by Pulp

The Vapelier recalls that the products of the vape are intended for an audience of adult smokers in the context of smoking cessation assistance. Any sale to a minor public, any purchase by a minor or by an adult on behalf of a minor are prohibited by law. We advise parents to discuss with their children the addiction to nicotine that vaping devices can cause and to warn them of the dangers involved. Similarly, the public authorities have sole responsibility for enforcing the law in this area. If you don't smoke, don't vape! 

And bam, there are puffs.

Disposable devices are currently flourishing on the vaping market. Passed in common parlance under the name of "puffs", Pulp brings out a large range of these small objects by calling them "pods". Well, after all, why not? Personally, I'm going to call them "poffs", so there will be something for everyone! 

More seriously, puffs are also a hot item right now. Threatened with heavy taxation, or even prohibition, these systems pose a double problem for our elected representatives. That of a very strong ecological footprint, which is not false but all the same less worrying than the recycling in the next thirty years of the billions of tons of batteries from the future wrecks of electric vehicles. That also of a gateway to tobacco for minors. Old anti vape antiphon who still think that tobacco needs a "front door" to fascinate minors, forgetting in passing the last hundred years or the vape did not exist and or the packets of cigarettes circulated in the colleges or high schools... 

Before starting this review, I would like to point out that the legislation prohibits vaping for minors. If you have been in class, you therefore know that although it is the National Assembly and the Senate that draw up the laws, their execution is devolved to the power…executive, precisely. So, rather than thinking about banning a simple, no-brainer product that helps remaining smokers quit, why, gentlemen of politics, not think about enforcing the legal arsenal already at your disposal? 

The By Pulp pod is the remarkable entry of the e-liquid brand into this buoyant segment. The manufacturer arrives with an aura that has continued to grow over the years. An exceptional liquidator, part of the leading pack in the European industry, which offers the basic format to get off the cigarette, it's less surprising than it seems. Indeed, the material of Chinese origin is currently completely up-to-date and filling it with French liquid experienced in the dual exercise of taste and healthiness can only be an added value to the format. 

The puff (sorry, Pulp) presents itself to us in the simplest way, devoid of vulgar luminous appendages, of variegated and garish hues quick to seduce the youngest audiences, we immediately notice that we are dealing with a mature object . Color code to avoid making mistakes, velvet touch to be pleasant in the hand, small size but substantial weight and solid construction, we find on the body of the object the brand logo, the mention of the on-board flavor and the rate of nicotine. We are obviously not here to show off with teenage friends, but rather on a truly adult device intended for weaning. 

The pod-puff-poff carries 2 ml of liquid, TPD obliges, having a PG/VG ratio of 50/50 and a 550 mAh battery, a combo sufficient to ensure around 600 fragrant puffs and a day's autonomy without exaggerating. The liquid is with nicotine salts and the Ile-de-France manufacturer offers it in 20 mg/ml for inveterate smokers, in 10 mg/ml for temperate smokers and in 0 nicotine for… no one in fact. This rate is not likely to help anyone to quit smoking. 

The packaging is of good quality and inspires confidence. Sober, impeccably designed and produced, it includes all the information about the circumstances as well as all the pictograms and warnings in force in the legislation, whether on the cardboard packaging or in the instructions included. The puff itself is imprisoned in an airtight bag and has two silicone plugs that must be removed before use. 

The rendering is fleshy, developing a fairly dense vapor and suitable for an MTL draw. It evokes the presence of a mesh resistance around 1.4/1.6 Ω for a power between 7 and 8 W. Largely satisfactory for the purpose of the device. The vape is pleasant, the operation perfect and the draw totally adapted to passing high levels of nicotine.

The little extra? No less than 15 flavors begin Pulp's journey to the land of puffs. So far, it's not unusual, but the manufacturer has slipped in a surprise: the taste categories are much more eclectic than usual...

We are the taste!

 

The Vapelier protocols are strict. For the puffs, we can only give a Top Vapelier to a range if each flavor inherits a score greater than or equal to 4.5/5. This explains why no range was able to benefit from it. At least until today.

Pulp has nothing left to prove and yet this collection of “pods” (just to please them 😉) hits the mark. Sharpness of flavors, relevance of the balance between taste categories, presence of gourmands and tobacco, everything is deployed to convince and seduce smokers in their vast majority. 

The realism of the tastes, the fruits in particular, do a lot for the seduction. The aromas must absolutely endure and the format of the puffs, however imperfect, must survive. It's just a real public health problem, isn't it? Pulp has understood this well and is delivering a weapon of mass destruction against the diseases that kill 220 people a day in 2022. This range will be a milestone! 

  • Nicotine levels needed
  • Taste at all levels
  • The operation of the hardware convincing.
  • The softness of the coating.
  • The info on the puff itself.

  • The rate in 0, avoidable.
