Vowl
40 kit
Vzone were the first to bring a
disposable mesh tank to the market,

tolerances are on point, so this is a rattle-free device that
has no gaps or undesirable seams. Considering the very
affordable price point of the kit you can only expect so much,
and the Vowl is perhaps not a device designed with extended
longevity in mind.
There’s just one button on the mod, which can be clicked five times
to power the device on or off, or three times to adjust the power output.

Battery performance is impressive given the Vowl’s tiny frame and weight, but at the

disposable tank
is nice, but other 1500mAh+ devices in my collection easily last a full day’s use with the same
atomizers, so something doesn’t quite add up there. Luckily, the Vowl has 1A charging which
minimizes downtime, charging the device from flat to full in just north of an hour.
On to the new Preco mouth-to-lung (MTL) tank.
Much like the original Preco, this is a disposable tank that cannot be dissembled and does not use
replaceable coils. This idea was met with some trepidation when the Preco originally launched, but if you think
of these products as replaceable pods that can fit onto any 510 mod, their place in the market becomes more
apparent.
The airflow control is slightly confusing, considering Vzone are calling this the Preco MTL. At its largest setting, this is a
restricted lung hit for sure. Closing all the way down to one hole on each side gives a loose MTL draw, so if you’re looking
for an old-school MTL experience, you’ll need to close the airflow off almost completely. This does work, though, so it’s not a
complaint, just something to note.
Between 10-15W at the smallest airflow setting, the Preco MTL provides a smooth, moderately warm and flavourful vape. It doesn’t
quite match the output of larger stock coil MTL tanks, but it’s certainly on par with the best pod systems that I’ve tried. Considering that
this is essentially a pod that happens to have a standardised connection, I think this performance is admirable.
