Alas, the coronavirus pandemic has not only been receded, but has been constantly gaining momentum lately, and it has affected not only friends and acquaintances, but also employees of our MorePara store chain. But all is well that ends well, so new products will now be constantly studied and reviewed. One of these new products that really deserves the attention of vapers is Smoant Santi kit. Naturally, if we take into account the number of sub-mods that are presented on the vape market, Smoant Santi kit may get a little lost, but at the same time this device has a number of features and features that make it attractive to many vapers, experienced and not so experienced.
General information
Smoant Santi kit is a compact pod-mod, equipped with a medium-capacity battery, running the Axon chipset and designed for the use of replaceable evaporators. The design of the new device is quite simple, but the device is small and ergonomic. Thanks to the Axon chipset, the vaper will be able to set the power of the device, which can be a maximum of 40 watts. The vaper has at his disposal both replaceable S series evaporators and a serviced base. You can buy Smoant Santi kit in four gunmetal colors, steel, black and rainbow.
Equipment
The Smoant Company, providing for the possibility of installing a serviceable base, like many other manufacturers, did not bother to equip the new device with it. But otherwise the equipment is quite standard and traditional:
Santi Mod Battery Pack;
Santi Pod Cartridge;
Evaporator S-2 0.6 Ohm (preinstalled);
USB Type-C cable;
Certificate;
Warranty card;
User’s Guide.
Santi Mod Battery Pack
Taking into account the fact that there are many sub-mods on the vape market today, the Smoant company, which also has a lot of devices of this format in its assortment, decided to present another device, the Santi kit. It is unlikely that the device will make a revolution in its form factor and format, but it is a fact that many vapers will be happy to use it and enjoy tasty and aromatic vapor.
If we talk about the design of the Smoant Santi kit, it is quite traditional and has been used more than once by other manufacturers, but at the same time the device is quite compact (104 * 28 * 18.5 mm), lightweight (82 grams) and ergonomic (it is made in a rectangular case with rounded edges). The case is made of plastic and zinc alloy, and there are perforations on the side panels, making it very comfortable to hold in your hand.
The Smoant Santi kit’s maximum power of 40 Watt is provided by a built-in medium-capacity 1100 mAh battery, which is enough to provide autonomous operation for one day. The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the side of the device, with a current of 1A.
An important feature of the Smoant Santi kit is that it is controlled by the Axon chipset, already familiar to many vapers, with which the vaper will be able to use two main operating modes VW and DVW (variable watts with adjustable curves). The device is equipped with a small color display on which you can find a standard set of information about the operation of the device: battery charge level, power, voltage, coil/evaporator resistance, number and time of puffs. If desired, you can change the color scheme, adapting the appearance of the display depending on the wishes of the vaper.
Santi Pod Cartridge
Considering that the Smoant Santi kit is a representative of the class of sub-mods, it has a removable cartridge with replaceable evaporators and an RBA base. The cartridge is held in the battery pack using magnets.
The Smoant Santi Pod cartridge is designed for the use of branded S series evaporators, of which there are currently three types for different types of vaping. If desired, you can install a serviceable base (purchased separately), but it is worth remembering that it is designed for very modest spirals.
The nice thing is that the Smoant Santi kit provides airflow adjustment, implemented using a small slider on the side surface of the cartridge, and in order to set the airflow, there is no need to remove it from the battery pack (in many devices this is a significant disadvantage).
Refilling the cartridge will not cause any difficulties or questions; you just need to remove the cartridge from the battery pack, open the silicone plug on the side and fill in 3.5 ml of liquid.
Conclusions and impressions
Smoant Santi kit is a completely worthy competitor to similar devices from Smok and Voopoo, and it is made with high quality, neatly and quite compactly. If a vaper wants to get a simple, but at the same time practical and convenient device, then he should definitely buy the Smoant Santi kit, which will delight you with taste and bulk.
