Last February I talked about the Thoth G, an open system pod from Kumiho that proudly continues on the path of “open” systems. After many pods of the most varied shapes, here comes the first alternative version, in mini format of the Thoth G: the THoth G Lite that was sent to me free of charge by Healthcabin. It maintains compatibility with all its coils and cartridges, with a little less weight at the expense of the battery, here of only 650 mAh and a LED system that replaces the screen.
Dimensions of 23.8 x 13.8 x 113.7 mm, so slightly smaller while maintaining aluminum as a material. Beyond the desire for lightness that recalls the name “Lite”, which is not even very successful (it weighs 43 grams, against the 47 of its bigger sister) we think of those who come from disposables and either want to abandon them because of the high cost or simply because they live in a country where they are banned.
Rather than the wattage, we try to emulate the simplicity and immediacy of these devices. The packaging also recalls the disposable world with the Kumiho Thoth G Lite “cellophane wrapped” as happens for disposables instead of the usual plastic panel or attached material with the preformed shape of the pod. The USB Type-C cable is missing but an instruction manual is present, while the cartridge is the usual 0.6 ohm. On the back of the box, the ever-present scratch and check to verify the originality of the product.
Together with the Thoth G Lite, a 0.6 cartridge (coil + integrated pod) with a capacity of 2 ml is supplied in smoke color. The usual filling is done by lifting the cap with the word “Open” and the pros of avoiding leaks and condensation thanks to the cartridges at the expense of having to throw everything away. If you don’t like it, empty pods with their coils are available, compatible with the entire Thoth series, including the Thoth G Lite.
On the front side, the impedance in ohms is printed, while the bottom has two magnets to allow installation on the body of the Thoth G Lite. It is not visible but there is also a “Min” writing where Kumiho recommends not to vape further to avoid stutters. Having tried them all, the mouthpiece/drip tip remains the same size.
The choice between 5 models that vary from flavor to MTL vaping, available in both cartridge and refillable pod + coil versions:
- 0.4Ω (25-35W)
- 0.6Ω (20-25W) (included in the package)
- 0.8Ω (16-20W)
- 1.0Ω (12-15W)
- 1.2Ω (10-12W)
This time too, Kumiho has opted for the 0.6 ohm cartridge with the PCTG in the smoked version, slightly too much for a device with a 650 mAh battery. Here too, I think the choice was made with those who come from disposables in mind, accustomed to 20 or even 50 mg of nicotine since they are allowed abroad and the relative kick they give.
Since the Thoth G Lite has no circuit, I don’t know how high it shoots but I still had some cartridges at home that I tried with the normal G: for a “normal” vaper with the 1.2 and 1 ohm you have a nice portable MTL device with a good autonomy.
Form factor more than a disposable it seems like a real circuited pod that anyone has had at hand. The finish unlike its older sister Thoth G is rougher similar to that of the Thoth S. Printed towards the bottom, the “Thoth G” logo. Nice idea of ​​the window on the body that makes the remaining liquid in the pod visible with the writing “min” to avoid dents. In the center, where in the Thoth G there was a screen, there is a LED that offers visual feedback on the charge level:
White: 100-30%
Blue: 30-5%
Red: 5-0%
In addition, the LED is also used as visual feedback for when the protection system enters:
Dispensing cutoff after 8 seconds: the LED flashes white 8 times
Short circuit: the LED flashes red 3 times
Pod no longer read: the LED flashes white 5 times
Low voltage/battery low: the LED flashes red 8 times
After 2 pods created by Kumiho this indicator is the first thing that leaves me perplexed since it would have been much better to make the LED blue well before, such as 50% charge and make it red at 20%. Not being familiar with disposables, not treating them I don’t know how the indicator is reported on them; maybe here too, Kumiho has adapted to them.
The slider that manages the air seems to me the same as the shot with the holes that have the same diameter, with the third of diameter larger than the other two, partializable at will and, offering from a closed MTL to a more open one. Also made, hard enough to move and metallic finish.
On the side, the USB Type-C port always with a specified 0.6 A charge: to charge it from when the LED turns blue (30-5%) it takes an hour and a few minutes. USB Type-C cable is missing, the Kumiho one can be purchased for the entire Thoth line but it is not promoted as “mandatory”. Considering that it arrives “on” and that it maintains this status, the first thing to do, when it arrives new, is to give it a charge.
Sister and little sister close, with the difference as I said, in the texture of the body with the Thoth G almost brushed, while in the Lite it is rougher. The dimensions are more or less the same, as is the weight. But for sure, with the new generation of vapers that comes from disposables or is even a dual with combustible cigarettes, the Lite, despite on paper having less battery allows you to play more easily without the clicks for on and off. Maybe in the future, when you have become familiar with it, you can then move on to the G or any other pod, just to abandon a highly polluting and expensive system and in the case of cigarettes, harmful.
The Thoth G to be Lite abandons the screen and with the cost really in line with a disposable, perhaps even cheaper. It wants to be simple and simple is with a target perhaps not made up of very expert people and not even know the convenience and convenience that the “open” world has or as is reported in the description of the Kumiho site, when searched on google “KUMIHO丨Pioneer Open System Vape Brand”.
