π§ Who This Device Is For
This pod system is ideal if you:
- Like the shape and feel
- You want to clean up after your juice leaks out of the pod inside the device
Skip it if you:
- Value your juice and prefer not to clean up after the pods leak everywhere
- Want to avoid frustration and spend your hard earned cash on a device that is reliable
πͺ Final Verdict
The VRIZZ 2 is built to have the look and feel of a disposable, but was unusable because I couldn’t find a pod that didn’t leak the entire tank after trying 4 different pods.
I love the size, look, feel and size of the tank but this was a huge disappointment. I really wanted this to be a compact option for me and use less disposables, I even bought a pack of extra pods with the device. After trying 4 different pods and losing a lot of juice I gave up. The pods being cross compatible with the previous version of this device was appealing until I found how unreliable and utterly frustrating the pods were. This isn’t a matter of overfilling, I tried different amounts of juice in the pod each time and I had the same result. There was one pod that lasted a couple of days before it leaked the contents of the pod all over my desk.
This is why it’s important to look for reviews of certain devices on other websites other than sites that sell these items and content creators that have an incentive to give positive reviews. On the Element Vape review section this has a very high rating at an average of 4.4 and I’ve tried to submit a review on that site several times, but it never got posted. It’s unfortunate because it could save someone else the +/- $20 and frustration.
