I received the latest gem from Kumiho, the THOTH G Lite, courtesy of HealthCabin. This is a slightly dumbed-down version of the previous THOTH G model, as it only operates with a vacuum switch and doesn’t have a display. It automatically detects the resistance and adjusts the appropriate power accordingly. The device itself is capable of a maximum of 35 Watts, which is a bit much for the 650mAh built-in battery, but fortunately, they didn’t include the lowest resistance pod head. Its dimensions are 13.8 x 23.8 x 113.7mm including the pod head, which is absolutely perfect for a pod system. Of course, it’s also equipped with protections such as 8-second puff duration, overcharge protection, short circuit protection, low voltage protection, and open circuit protection.
The G Lite, made of an aluminum housing and PCTG base, is available in 5 colors: silver, grey, black, blue, and orange. I received the grey, or Space Grey, one. Let’s see what the box contains and what the G Lite can do!
Kumiho THOTH G Lite Pod Review
Box Contents and Getting to Know the Device
Kumiho once again provides nothing extra with the device, just a user manual and a pre-installed 0.6 Ohm pod head. As seen in the picture, they even put the device in a bag with quite a few warnings written on it, such as: Do not charge with a damaged cable as the device may catch fire, or you may receive an electric shock! But here’s another: Do not leave the device charging for too long after it’s full as it may overheat, and do not charge it on a sofa or bed, as they can also catch fire! And one more, which isn’t that absurd: When charging the device, do not expose it to moisture and do not leave it in direct sunlight in the car, as it may catch fire! Oh, and my personal favorite: When firing the device, do not look into the drip tip, as the liquid may spit into your eyes! It was at this last one that I realized, since the G Lite has a vacuum switch, that these warnings are universal calls to action and not specifically for this device, but generally applicable to all cheaper (i.e., low-quality) gadgets. So, no worries, the manufacturer is just being silly!
There isn’t much on the front of the device. The G Lite has a viewing window where we can see the marking on the pod head indicating the minimum liquid level. However, if we insert the pod head the wrong way, we’ll see the rubber plug of the filling port. But since it’s compatible with all THOTH pod heads and they all have this design, we have to make do with this. Anyway, it’s not a big effort to flip the pod head if we accidentally put it in the wrong way. Below the viewing window is the battery indicator LED, which can glow in 3 colors depending on the battery charge. From 100% to 30% it’s white, from 30% to 5% it’s blue, and from 5% to complete discharge, i.e., 0%, it’s red. It’s not a bad solution for indicating this, only the percentage divisions seem strange to me. The back is completely empty, with only the manufacturer’s logo visible at the bottom.
On the left side of the device, we can see the airflow control slider with 3 holes. The airflow itself is tighter compared to previous Kumiho products, but that’s exactly what the 0.6 Ohm pod head needs. Therefore, I believe this resistance is the minimum for a satisfactory experience. On the right side, we find the USB-C port, which supports fast charging at 5V/0.6A, taking about 1 hour to charge the 650mAh battery. The device can also be used while charging, but the charging time will increase.
The PCTG material pod head has a capacity of 2ml, but a 3ml version can also be purchased. The filling port is large enough to fill comfortably from any bottle. The connector in the device and the surrounding surface are just like in its bigger sibling, the THOTH G, as there are hidden magnets here that hold well, the pod head doesn’t wobble, it doesn’t fall out when dropped, and it doesn’t get damaged thanks to its material.
Visually, the G Lite appears to be a very successful specimen, but let’s see how it performs now.
User Experience
Since the entire housing is aluminum, it’s hard to damage it in case of a drop. The PCTG base is also indestructible, so it can withstand a few tumbles and falls. This is important, as it’s only 13.8mm thick and 23.8mm wide, to which the 113.7mm height is arguably a negative association, meaning it tips over easily. Very easily. But as I mentioned, the aluminum housing holds up well. The magnets of the pod head and the device hold perfectly; the pod head doesn’t wobble in the device, it stays firmly in place no matter what happens. I think the viewing window makes it a bit cool, although it’s almost useless in terms of function if we insert the pod head the wrong way, as we can only look at the rubber plug through the viewing window, thus losing its purpose, so it’s not that great. If the filling port were on the side of the pod head, it wouldn’t matter how we inserted it. But this isn’t that important, as it doesn’t affect anything, especially since the pod head is dark, making it difficult to see the liquid level through the viewer. However, with a transparent pod head, the viewer would be useful. The airflow adjustment slider is quite stiff, so it stays in the set position and doesn’t accidentally change. The airflow itself, as I’ve already mentioned, is tighter than on previous models, but this is positive in this case, as it’s only paired with a 650mAh battery which doesn’t last very long, so this is more of a device for lighter RDL or MTL. The 0.6 Ohm pod head that comes with the device is perfect for this airflow and battery capacity, but I would personally consider the 0.8 Ohm or 1.0 Ohm pod heads to be better, not just because of the battery, but I’ll explain that a bit further down. Regarding charging, the charging time is about 1 hour, which is standard, as almost all built-in battery devices charge in 1 hour. However, since this is a small battery, it tends to get warm. While it’s not significant, for safety’s sake, if you don’t heed any other warnings, at least heed this one: remove it from the charger as soon as it’s fully charged. The battery indicator LED is great, but I found the percentage divisions hard to get used to. 100-30% is white, 30-5% is blue, 5-0% is red, which I think is disproportionate somewhere, but fortunately, when it flashes red, it doesn’t mean it’s dead immediately; there’s still about 10-15 minutes left, which can be extended a bit if it’s not constantly in your mouth. You can also look at it this way: if it’s glowing red while you’re vaping, it’s time to put it on charge. So, it’s a matter of perspective whether the percentage divisions are a disadvantage or not, but they feel very strange to me.Regarding the atomizer in the POD head, this 0.6 Ohm one passed my tests perfectly! It can produce huge vapor and is great for flavor too! It never burned out for me during the 2 weeks, only towards the end of the second week the flavors started to slightly dull, which is natural after this much time, so it holds up exceptionally well. The 2ml capacity is enough for roughly 3-4 hours if we’re constantly using the G Lite, so definitely don’t go far without liquid. The 650mAh battery might seem small, but it’s not that much after all. It lasts about 6-7 hours with intensive use, which can naturally be extended to a whole day. For the 0.6 Ohm POD head, it’s not necessary at all to restrict the airflow; I think this device and its airflow were designed precisely for this POD head, so it’s perfect as is. However, restricting it makes the vapor warmer, which is naturally a consequence of the warming POD head, and in the worst case, it can burn out, which is why restricting isn’t necessary, not to mention the device’s airflow is already quite tight. Although it’s not customary or advisable to use it with completely closed airflow, it’s good to know about the G Lite that even if we completely close the airflow, it still leaks. A very slight condensation can be noticed under the POD head inside the device, but it’s not bothersome and is somewhat natural, as the POD head heats up slightly with intensive use. However, since the device’s connectors are recessed, or rather, the area around them is lower than the magnets, it’s difficult to wipe clean. This condensation is hard to avoid with a device like the G Lite, where the internal airflow (i.e., where the incoming air passes at the bottom of the POD head) is hidden, but it can be reduced with a higher resistance POD head like the 0.8 or 1.0 Ohm ones. This is why I mentioned above that it would be better to use those, but of course, it’s also perfect with the 0.6 Ohm. But everyone will decide for themselves which is most suitable. In any case, I enjoyed using it with the 0.6 Ohm POD head; I only elaborated on my last thought process because, as you know, nothing is 100% perfect! But regardless, we are talking about an absolutely lovable POD!
Now let’s list the points mentioned above.
Pros 
- Vacuum switch. I personally don’t really like vacuum switch solutions, but the good thing about the G Lite is that it doesn’t overwork the atomizer, so there’s no risk of burning out, which can be characteristic of a more powerful vacuum switch device. Those who have had negative experiences with this before can regain their trust in vacuum switch devices with the G Lite.
- Ease of use. Less is often more! The G Lite is exactly the POD you pick up and use! Simple and great!
- Solid build. The aluminum body ensures that we don’t have to look for a new POD after an accidental drop. Of course, nothing lasts forever, but metal-cased items always prove to be much more durable and long-lasting.
- Fast charging. The 1-hour charging time is quite fast, not hard to wait. But if someone is impatient, the device can be used while charging, only the charging time will be extended.
- Easy refilling. The filling port of the POD head is compatible with all kinds of bottle droppers, so it can be easily refilled from anything. We just need to make sure to leave a small air bubble in the POD head, otherwise, it will start to gurgle.
- Long atomizer lifespan. All tests last for 2 weeks, just like the lifespan of THOTH POD heads. This is exceptionally outstanding, which is also contributed by what I wrote above: the G Lite doesn’t overwork the atomizer, and of course, the cooling is perfectly fine, so it will easily last 2 weeks for others too.
Cons 
- Battery percentage indication. Although I’ve managed to process that the indicator LED is white from 100-30%, blue from 30-5%, and red from 5-0%, it’s harder to get used to, and when the LED is already red, it can only be used for about 10-15 more minutes before it completely drains. For me, this is a disadvantage because I think the distribution is wrong. Of course, as I wrote above, it can be viewed as a signal to charge when it’s red, but since not everyone constantly watches the indicator LED color, as I don’t either, it would have been better to leave more time (percentage) for red. I note that this is a disadvantage for me, but there will surely be someone who can turn this into an advantage in the way I just described.
Overall, I must say that Kumiho as a brand is slowly but surely making its way up! For those who have a weakness for simplicity and love solid PODs with POD heads equipped with flavorful and high-vapor-producing atomizers, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Kumiho THOTH G Lite!
Thank you for reading! Have a nice day! 
the writing is great .. but that Tóth isn’
