Uwell Yearn Neat 2 Review by Owen

Introduction

Love them or hate them, pod systems are most certainly here to stay.

As much as I love the ritual of a wrapping wire around a rod, securing it into the deck of an RTA and getting my wicking spot on, there’s no denying the convenience of a pod.

A couple of years ago, pod systems were very much hit or miss – maybe it would wick correctly, maybe the coil would last more than a couple of refills, maybe you might get something close to flavor, but this very far from being the case now, I haven’t had a shit pod system in a long time, neither have I had a dud coil, or something with no flavor.

So where does the Uwell Yearn Neat 2 fit into the scheme of things as far as pods are concerned?

First Impressions

Initially, I thought this was a disposable vape – the box is tiny, the pod system comes in a rip-to-open package and there’s no cables.

Sometimes, I really enjoy the classy packaging and presentation of a vape, this is the exact opposite of that, I’ve had chocolate bars with more extravagant packaging.

Once I worked out that it is neither a disposable vape nor a chocolate bar, I was greeted with very light plastic pod system with one pod fitted, no adjustable anything, autodraw only.

If that’s all I’m getting, this had better be cheap. TL; DR – it’s very cheap.

How to use it?

Charging will require your own type-C cable, with charge levels being indicated by an LED on the front of the mod.

The pod has a side-fill system, I’d rather have top-fill, but at least the opening is nice and wide and the rubber pull tab is easy to grab hold of.

Performance

• Battery – this is my main issue with the Neat 2 – while the battery charges quickly, it’s not going to last a full day of vaping.
• Vape Quality – and this is what I like the most about the Neat 2, it’s a nice vape, clear and accurate flavor, with fruit and pastries, and a decent throat hit.
• Autodraw – nicely sensitive, no complaints here.
• Pod quality – mine hasn’t died or lost flavor, despite numerous refills. Neither have there been any leaks. The pod is tinted, but juice levels are easy to see.
• Airflow – non-adjustable, but a well judged MTL draw.

Price

This is where the Neat 2 suddenly became a little more interesting, Most places have it for $15-20, and it can be picked up as cheaply as $10.
