This time, thanks to HealthCabin, I’ve brought you a little novelty, namely the THOTH T POD set manufactured by Kumiho, which eerily resembles a pocket radio, something the manufacturer is aware of and even created this way intentionally. On the manufacturer’s website, they refer to the THOTH T as Radio Vape or Rock the puffs. They are a very cool manufacturer, as they seemingly understand humor, yet they take their products quite seriously, and their products are accompanied by maximum expertise. The THOTH T has a mere 1300mAh battery, yet it lasts much longer than I initially thought. It sends a maximum of 35 watts to the atomizer, which, of course, only goes hand-in-hand with the lowest resistance. The device adjusts the wattage to the atomizer based on the ohm, which it executes perfectly! It can be operated by both a vacuum switch and a fire button, and the airflow ranges from MTL to loose RDL. Kumiho, of course, also thought about protection, so the chip ticking inside the THOTH T protects against overcharging, short circuits, low voltage, and even open circuits! The latter, by the way, means it doesn’t heat up without a POD head, because the circuit is open then, but “protection against open circuits” sounds very nice…
It is available in 5 colors, all of which are simple and understated. These are Armour Black (black), Jungle Green (dark green), Space Gray (gray), Arctic Silver (silver), and Eggplant Purple (purple). I received the Arctic Silver among these. Well then, nothing left but to move forward! Let’s take a look!
Kumiho THOTH T POD Kit Review
Box Contents and Getting to Know the Device
There’s almost nothing in the box, just the device, the 2ml PCTG POD head pre-installed with a 0.8 ohm atomizer, and a metal necklace, along with a short user manual under the foam that hides the device. The minimal contents are not a drawback, as nothing else is needed for this device to be used or maintained.
Attaching and removing the necklace is quite cumbersome, as the holes where it needs to be hooked are located very close to the fire button, making them a bit difficult to access, and the chain is unnecessarily long. But fortunately, it’s not mandatory to use it, so this is not a negative, just a subjective remark.
On the right side of the device is the airflow control slider, which has 3 holes when fully open, becoming progressively smaller as you move down. On the left side of the device is the USB-C charging port, accompanied by an indicator LED hidden by that small hole above the port. The device is (according to the manufacturer) theoretically capable of fast charging, but practically, unfortunately, it is not.
The THOTH T comes with a POD head equipped with a 0.8-ohm atomizer. It connects to the mod using the familiar magnetic solution, meaning you simply drop it into the device. The magnet is extremely strong, holding the POD heads perfectly in place. The atomizer inside has 3 wicking ports: one on each side and one at the front. There isn’t one at the back near the filling port, so it’s advisable to use it when there’s very little liquid left by tilting the THOTH T so that the front of the POD head is in the direction you’re tilting, allowing it to be emptied completely.
I also received POD heads with resistances of 0.6, 1.0, and 1.2 ohms, and a 0.4-ohm resistance version is also available. On the HealthCabin website, we can also choose between 2 and 3ml versions, as well as black or transparent designs. Not to mention, these POD heads contain mesh atomizers, which greatly enhance the experience.
Kumiho also considered fun and stress relief important, so the THOTH T includes a fidget spinner, with the motto “just for fun.” Personally, I find it a charming and funny addition, and the idea is absolutely viable, as I also played with it for a good while until it fell off on the first day of testing. In this case, the fidget spinner is not as high quality as the other segments of the POD, and it happened a few hours after unpacking, so it’s not the result of my rough handling. A simple magnet holds it, which I couldn’t even move at first, but the more I played with it, the weaker it became, so unfortunately, this is the first negative point. I took it off so as not to lose it somewhere.
The test began with the pre-installed 0.8-ohm POD head, which has a transparent PCTG casing, where the 2ml capacity is perfectly visible. You can fill it to the point where there’s very little or no air left, but then it starts to gurgle quite strongly. This stops during later use, and liquid doesn’t leak out of the completely leak-free POD head, but it’s worth leaving a small air bubble to avoid potential gurgling.
Secondly, I tested the 1.2-ohm POD head, where I no longer experienced the gurgling mentioned above, which could occur with such a small air bubble in the previous POD head. Despite its opaque casing, the liquid level inside is perfectly visible, although I think the transparent one created a nicer overall look, but this one isn’t bad either.
Since the device calibrates the wattage sent to the atomizer based on the ohm and not the airflow, the experience is not characterized by cold vapor at all. However, I wouldn’t call the constant warm vapor problematic; it’s rather natural for such devices. Thanks to the PCTG material, the mouthpiece does not get hot at all during use, only lukewarm, which is a huge positive for me, as overheating/heating always detracts from the experience! However, after a while, a small amount of condensation appears under the POD head inside the device, which is also not serious, but it doesn’t disappear even with the higher resistance POD head, and it has a small negative consequence, which I will explain later.
A virtual tour of the device itself, or rather the kit, has been completed. As you can see, it doesn’t consist of many parts, so let’s jump to the most essential part of the review.
Review
A THOTH T’s body is made of zinc alloy and in places of polycarbonate plastic; its grip, when held in a fist, is not terribly uncomfortable for a rectangular prism, but it’s noticeable that the curves are not sufficiently rounded in places. The fire button is not too sensitive, nor is it easily pressed; it has a noticeable resistance, which gives it a rather distinct feel, and it’s not really prone to being pressed in a bag unless something presses against it, though the protruding mouthpiece makes this unlikely. The airflow control slider is also distinct; it doesn’t shift due to any external influence. Its weight is not excessive, but since it’s not 100% plastic, it might not be the lightest on the market for a POD, yet it gives me a sufficiently high-quality impression, considering the nature and usability of the buttons. The fidget spinner on it is the weakest link on the device, although it was indeed fun to play with, even if only for a short time. However, as usual, something always gets messed up with my test subjects, so perhaps I’m even glad that this time it was ONLY this, and not something else that broke, or that the construction wasn’t faulty from the start! Its exterior, or rather its design, can be quite divisive, as who uses a pocket radio today? But at the same time, it pleasantly jolts you out of the fluffy, pastel, and gradient world with flickering fuchsia displays that characterize the market nowadays. Therefore, for me, this design is quite appealing; it’s not ordinary, perhaps a bit retro, but that’s exactly why it’s so cool!
As a first step for use, I filled the factory-provided POD head, whose filling port is so large that we can comfortably fill it with anything. Then I waited about 10 minutes, and after putting it back in place, the test began. The first 4-5 puffs were terribly hot and came quickly, but then, as soon as the device figured out exactly which POD head was inside, it immediately reduced its performance. The vacuum switch activates literally instantly upon drawing, and it operates the atomizer with extremely strong intensity. It works the same way with the fire button, but during a draw, only one of them drives the atomizer in the POD head, which is none other than the vacuum switch. When I wanted to use it with the fire button, it also took over as soon as I inhaled. This doesn’t interfere with the experience at all; you only notice it if you release the fire button while drawing, as it continues with the same intensity as if the fire button were just a visual element. However, if you keep holding the fire button after the puff ends, it continues to atomize just as if the button were primary, but in reality, it’s a push-and-pull game between the fire button and the vacuum switch. So, essentially, the vacuum switch is primary, and the fire button is only for those who perhaps cannot get used to draw activation; it starts atomizing the same way, but as soon as you inhale, the vacuum switch takes over. I think it’s really cool that they thought of everyone, but in my opinion, it should have had a button, or a slider, or anything that would allow us to decide which one we want to use at the moment.
The fire button itself is a bit loose due to its size and design, but this is not significant and can be considered natural for this type of construction. However, it’s not noticeable during use and doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall off, unlike the fidget spinner, so we can say this is intentional, and I don’t mean that in a negative way at all. Turning the THOTH T on and off is done with 5 quick button presses, but apart from this and firing, we cannot use the fire button for anything else, which is not a disadvantage, as this is a semi-mech POD, capable of only these functions. With the help of the airflow control slider, the air inlets can be closed individually, or we can set it so that only one is half-closed, leaving the one(s) below completely open. This allows for an airflow that can be narrowed from a pleasant RDL to a slightly airy MTL, from the largest hole to the smallest. While it’s not precisely fine-tunable, it’s perfectly satisfactory for the resistance of the POD heads, and this much airflow is needed for the intensity with which the device operates. Additionally, the airflow slider can be completely closed; even then, the atomizer in the POD head gets a little air, and this brings it much closer to a classic MTL, but it’s still considered quite airy compared to that.
The indicator LED is white, which can be a bit blinding, for example, if it indicates low battery and you happen to glance at it, which it signals with 10 flashes. Additionally, there are 5 flashes if the POD head is not inserted, or if for some reason it’s not detected, and 8 flashes if the 8-second puff time has ended. When it ends, the device immediately cuts off power as usual, so it becomes very easy to draw air through the POD head, but due to the intensity of atomization and increasing heat, I don’t think the maximum puff time will be typical for others. If you insert the POD head, it flashes long once. During use, or rather drawing, it lights up continuously. We do not receive a charging cable with the device, so it can be charged with the one that came with your phone, of course, only if it’s USB-C. We don’t really have much other choice in this regard. As I wrote above, the manufacturer promises fast charging, but unfortunately, the THOTH T cannot deliver on this. I charged it with the charging cable and adapter that came with my phone, and with a power bank, all of which support various charging modes based on their specifications. My phone’s charger supports 5V/2A, or 9V/2A, and 10V/4A for super charging, while the power bank can output 5V/3A, or 9V/2A, and 12V/1.5A for super charging. I believe these would have been more than enough to charge the THOTH T’s 1300mAh battery with fast charging in about 1 hour, especially since the POD itself regulates how much voltage it allows in, but instead, it took 2.5 hours, let me repeat, an absurd 2.5 hours to charge the tiny 1300 battery from 0 to 100% with the two chargers, and I specifically did not use the THOTH T while charging, even though it supports this option. However, if it gets at least 1 hour of charging time with the 1.2 ohm POD head, it will last until late afternoon, but the manufacturer didn’t promise this, and 2.5 hours is a very long time for such a small battery.Regarding the experience, I think I was greatly positively surprised, despite the few negatives! I approached this test thinking: Ugh, this is just a little POD, I’ll bring plenty of liquid and a charger to work. But Kumiho managed to thoroughly disprove this, as I monitored it regularly, even timed it, yet it barely wanted to discharge or empty! Thanks to the perfectly leak-free POD heads, I didn’t have to prepare liquid with excess VG; it operated perfectly with a 50/50 ratio, although it’s true that it leaked like water when I tilted the POD head, but there was absolutely no problem with this ratio during use. It delivered the flavors literally perfectly, the vapor is truly abundant, but it’s warmer than I prefer, though it was still bearable for me. However, I did reach for my favorite RTAs from time to time to get a cool experience. As a deviation from such a test, I made the discovery that compared to my RTAs, the THOTH T POD heads provide much softer, silkier flavors, so every flavor was precisely discernible in multi-flavor compositions, of course, until the atomizer inside was completely used up. It has absolutely no throat hit, not a speck, which is why for the first few days I only felt the strength of the nicotine, which naturally disappeared when the POD head was sufficiently used. The manufacturer likely recommends using it with a maximum of 50mg nicotine salt due to the TH-free atomizers. I was lucky enough to test the 2ml variants of the POD heads, which, as I wrote, surprisingly lasted an incredibly long time without refilling! With the 0.8 ohm one, it took about 6 hours to completely empty the POD head, and with the 1.2 ohm one, it was approximately 8 hours. This is outstanding, considering the immense power contained within this little pocket radio. Because of this power, the atomization is so intense and fast, and the vapor is huge, not to mention the perfect flavors! After this, I didn’t really expect any other miracles, but Kumiho still managed to surprise me, with an incredibly long battery life compared to a 1300mAh battery! With the 1.2 POD head, this palm-sized POD delivered a full 2 days of battery life, and with the 0.8 one, it lasted 1.5 days, which is simply unbelievable!
I could barely come to my senses, this product had me so much in the clouds, but I was managed to be pulled back to reality by the little condensation it causes under the POD head. Sometimes, when the liquid vapor condenses, or rather, if too much liquid vapor condenses, the vacuum switch operates a bit intermittently, which can be resolved by thorough wiping, or if we don’t have the time or opportunity for that, then by assisting with the fire button, we’ve already overcome this problem. I believe this will eventually be a minor drawback for all such devices with a vacuum switch that have a completely closed design or whose power is not adjustable. This is because the atomizer needs to be cooled maximally, but the vacuum switch doesn’t allow for this, as as soon as you inhale, atomization begins, which, of course, due to its intensity, releases much more heat. Perhaps a solution could be to periodically remove the POD head immediately after inhaling and just inhale without it, so that it can cool down properly sometimes, but I don’t think this is always viable in practice. However, if the power cannot be adjusted, and the THOTH T already operates with such a high output that liquid vapor condenses, then at least there is the fire button, which still activates the atomizer in the POD head even if the vacuum switch operation is jerky due to condensation. And of course, the device’s connector needs to be thoroughly wiped occasionally! So, this is not a world-shattering flaw, but the result of the vacuum switch, the closed POD housing, and the high power output, which was expected given these factors.
The atomizer handled flavor changes very well, delivering the next one immediately, with no characteristic flavor mixing. In such cases, one must pay attention to which flavors one wants to use, because an atomizer lasts longest if you start with the simplest or mildest flavors and move towards more complex, stronger ones. The POD heads themselves last about 1 week, of course, this strongly depends on the liquid, as I mentioned earlier, and also on usage, since the heating is quite powerful, so it carbonates quickly. When the vapor becomes warmer, or a bit less, and of course the flavor becomes faint, you know that the atomizer in the POD head has unfortunately reached its end.
Now let’s summarize what has been described.
—### Pros 
- Small and compact size. It can be considered quite small with its 48x23x78mm dimensions, but this is an advantage in this case. It doesn’t stick out anywhere, fits in almost any pocket, and its dimensions are quite comfortable even in relation to our hands.
- Simple to use. It’s not just simple because it’s a semi-mech without a display, so you don’t have to fiddle with menus, but also because thanks to the vacuum switch, you literally only need to inhale and exhale.
- Outstanding battery life. When I saw that the 1300mAh device would come with a 0.8 ohm POD head, honestly, I didn’t expect much for a day of battery life, because at such power, the battery would quickly run out of juice. But since these are mesh coils, they can be considered economical. So, if it lasted 1.5 days with the 0.8 ohm and 2 days with the 1.2 ohm, then the 0.6 ohm will last approximately 1 day. In this case, the manufacturer is right about all-day battery life, they just calculated with the minimum.
- Long-lasting small capacity. At first glance, I underestimated the THOTH T in terms of capacity as well, because based on RTAs, 2ml is only enough for me for a few hours, but Kumiho proved this wrong with the mesh coils.
- Easy refilling. Other manufacturers could adopt the filling hole size of the POD heads, as it is compatible with all my bottles (including the huge dropper-style pharmacy ones), and thanks to this, it doesn’t spill, you don’t end up covered in liquid, and of course, you don’t have to wipe anything afterwards.
- Can be used with both button and draw activation. This is great because it takes time to get used to new things. For those who have been pressing the fire button for years since the beginning of their vaping career, it will take some time to get used to being able to activate their favorite flavors by inhaling. The combination of the fire button and vacuum switch helps with this.
- High intensity, outstanding experience. The device can output a maximum of 35 watts, but this is calculated by a chip, which cannot see that this is not a typical wire, but an energy-saving little mesh sheet that wouldn’t ask for nearly as much as it’s given. This is an advantage because it allows us to have experiences with increased intensity where we would otherwise reduce the wattage with a regulated mod. It is visible and palpable that the best can only be achieved from a mesh coil that can cool down properly during use, and the THOTH T knows this very well!
- Completely leak-free POD heads. Perhaps the biggest positive that supports the THOTH T alongside many smaller positives! Gurgling may occur if we accidentally overfill, but it won’t leak at all, as the POD heads themselves are equipped with enough seals that, no matter what, they won’t let the liquid leak. This is also why the occasional gurgling stops over time, as there’s nothing left but for the excess to slowly evaporate. Manufacturers could also adopt this, saving many fellow vapers a lot of frustration!
- PCTG material POD heads. PCTG is a great material because it tolerates high temperatures very well and doesn’t transfer them, so it won’t burn your mouth during use. It also has impact resistance, so we don’t have to be overly protective of our POD heads if we accidentally drop them.
- Good scratch resistance. It’s probably common knowledge that when I test something, I take it everywhere, expose it to every possible effect, and I don’t hesitate to put it in my pocket or bag next to keys. The THOTH T was no different. It was in my pocket next to my work keychain for days, and it doesn’t look worn at all. Of course, this doesn’t mean it can’t be scratched, just that it’s very, very difficult, so it’s absolutely durable.
Kontra 
- Warming POD head. Some people won’t mind, some will like it, and I’m someone who feels best with cold vapor. This warming, as I wrote above, is a consequence of the vacuum switch, the closed POD housing, and the high power output. But at least it’s not scalding hot, and thanks to the PCTG material POD head, it’s absolutely bearable, even for me, but it’s still not what I’m used to. However, it’s probably wiser to treat this as a subjective opinion, as it’s not a flaw but an inherent part of the construction.
- Condensation on high heat. This, however, is more of a construction flaw, as the device itself doesn’t heat up as much as the POD head, so the liquid’s vapor will condense towards the cooler surface, which occurs here. Not to mention, it sometimes hinders the operation of the vacuum switch. The design of the device’s connector also presents a slight difficulty. But as soon as we manage to wipe away the condensation, everything works smoothly again. Although I would have been happy if it hadn’t happened and I didn’t have to write this, as this is the main con against the THOTH T!
- Weak fidget spinner. Would it be a cheap toy? Perhaps. But it’s quite entertaining for what it is, so I regret it a little, but luckily it has nothing to do with the usability of the device, so if it happens to someone else, they will probably get over it.
- Long charging time. If I charge the 3000mAh brown LG, it takes about 2.5-3 hours to charge, so I, as a judge, do not consider this a defect, but a simple lie! The manufacturer’s website said fast charge, which is a lie, because 2.5 hours is damn not fast! It’s a small compensation that it can be used while charging, but still…
Finally, I would just say that for me, the 1.2 ohm POD head was the most appealing, because on the one hand, it lasted the longest, both in terms of liquid and battery life, and on the other hand, it heated up the least. The entire device went completely against my user habits, but I still enjoyed using it! The flavor and vapor experience are head and shoulders above the rest! Therefore, I wholeheartedly recommend the Kumiho THOTH T POD set to all MTL and RDL fans who are looking for a small, compact, and not at all ordinary retro, and last but not least, simple-as-a-wooden-stick pocket radio that can’t play music, but can definitely vape!
Thank you for reading! Have a nice day!
