Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the WYE Pod System Kit 430mAh from Teslacigs. The WYE Pod System Kit 430mAh was supplied for the purpose of this review by Gloria from Teslacigs.

Introduction
With the popularity of the lightweight Wye series of devices it was only going to be a matter of time before Teslacigs released a Pod system bearing the name. Like it's high powered siblings the Wye Pod System is super lightweight, weighing just 30g and has the same feel nice rubberised finish with 3 of the colour options being two toned fusing together where the colours meet just like the Wye II. The Wye pod system is draw activated but does have a physical button allowing the device to be turned off, the button is also used to select between 4 different voltage settings and to check battery status indication. Both Wye devices i have had previous are cracking devices so let's find out if the Wye pod system lives up to the same high standards.

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Wye Pod Kit came in a tiny pull out draw style box that made me think the Wye was tiny but on opening found the device without pod installed and efficiently packed explaining the tiny packaging. After saying that it's still on the small size and being made of plastic with rubber paint coating (just like it's siblings) it's extremely lightweight, weighing just 30g. I received the Black version, it's also available in Red Black, Green Black, Blue Black and White, all versions come with matching colour transparent pods. The overall shape with pod installed is a pill shape, very ergonomic and pocket friendly. The front of the device has a metallic elongated juice drop panel which has a small Black button at the bottom with translucent Teslacigs logo, above the button "WYE POD" is etched into the metal sheet. On the back of the device towards the bottom we have printed safety marks and branding, finally housed on the bottom is the micro USB port.

The Pod
The Pod is coloured (with my version tinted Black) but fully transparent so no issues with seeing the juice level. The shape is rounded towards the top to complete the pill shape when inserted into the device, it also flattens duckbill style to make it a very comfortable vape. On the bottom of the pod we have the contacts and between these a hole that will line up when inside the device to lead to the membrane switch. On the outer edges of the bottom of the pod we have fill ports with bungs that stay attached to the pod when removed, when filling remove both so air can escape from one while you fill using the other. The fill ports are not the biggest so if using glass droppers you will need to decant into another bottle with a thinner nozzle. The coil in the pod is a ceramic 1.2ohm, you only get the one pod which is a con as all pod systems should be coming with a spare.

Fitting The Pod
Looking inside the device we can see the spring loaded contacts and between them is a hole that leads to the membrane switch. The pod just gets press fitted into the device but it's a nice tight fit. The fitting is snug so because the airflow is fed via the joint between pod and device this explains the draw the Wye gives which i will talk about in the Performance section.
___________________________________________________________________
Operating The Wye
The Wye has a physical button but it isn't a fire button so the device has draw activation only so to vape simply take a draw from the device. To turn the device on and off is 5 clicks of the button and to confirm the Teslacigs logo on the button flashes 3 times in the current battery status colour. The battery status indication has only two stages so although it's a pro for any pod system to have battery indication i feel it should be 3 stages minimum to be useful. To check the battery status hold the button for 5 seconds, when the teslacigs logo lights Green the battery is between 40% and 100%, when it lights Red it's less than 40%. The Wye also has 4 different voltage level settings which can be set by clicking the button 3 times, once you have clicked the button 3 times the Teslacigs logo alternates between different colours to indicate the different voltage settings, Blue is 3.0v, White 3.3v, Green 3.6v and Purple 3.9v, when the logo is the colour that indicates the setting you want press the button to select and the logo will flash that colour 3 times to show it's selected. When you take a draw on the Wye the logo lights up the colour of the voltage setting you are using if you want to check the voltage setting without vaping simply press the button. As per normal the Wye comes with all the usual safety protections that are indicated by various flashes in different colours when kicking in.
