Healthcabin asked me to take a look at the latest pod kit from Kumiho, the Thoth G. I’ve been pretty happy with the previous Thoth kits thanks to their quirky designs and fidget spinners so I thought it might be worth a gander at this slightly more conventional take on a pod kit from Kumiho.
- 114.5 x 24 x 14.1mm
- 48.4 grams
- Output 5~35 watts
- 900mAh internal battery
- USB-C charging
- Compatible with full range of Thoth pods
The Thoth G is available in ten colours although Healthcabin only currently seems to list eight of these, and I was sent the “Galaxy Blue” version for testing. It’s a pretty bare bones unboxing experience with just the Thoth G plus one 0.6ohm pod and a brief user guide included in the slimline box, but with this being offered at just $12.74 this can be forgiven a little.
Unlike the previous Thoth kits I’ve looked at which favoured a compact square design with the pod offset to one side, the Thoth G favours a conventional flattened pen style. The main chassis is constructed from an aluminium alloy making this a lightweight pocketable option.
The front panel features a small but functional screen up top with a textured metal button sitting in the middle of a bold diagonal slash midway down the frame, and this is finished off with a carbon fibre style decal below. The back side is rather plain except for a deeply engraved Kumiho logo near the base. The anodised finish is a rather fetching deep blue in the kit I was sent, and this has a slightly brushed finish which looks quite smart, the lack of any fidget spinners this time around does mean that you lose the quirky nature that made previous kits stand out from the crowd though.
The simple one button menu system is easy to learn without overwhelming you with options, but mostly you’ll be using this to alter the wattage. However the smart wattage limits are quite well matched to the available range of pods so you may find you don’t even need to do that all that much. Auto draw and button firing are both available, but I’ve found that the auto draw function is perfectly reliable and have simply used that.
The right side features an adjustable airflow slider allowing for a tight mouth to lung draw all the way up to a fairly restricted direct lung draw. There’s a decent amount of tension here, but I have found that this can occasionally get knocked out of position from my preferred setting.
You’ll find the USB-C charge port on the left side of the device. In my charge test, this hit a peak charge rate of 1.14 amps with a final recorded capacity of 979mAh reached in 1 hour and 22 minutes.
Pods are held tightly in place up top by magnets, there’s a teensy bit of play in the pod here but no more than you’d find on any other similar kit.
Only one 0.6ohm pod is included in the package which happens to be one of my favourites from the range of available pods (for me the 0.8ohm pod is the best) and these modern mesh pods can hold their own against any of the more mainstream manufacturers offerings. With a full 35 watts on tap, the Thoth G is capable of utilising the full range of pods from 0.4ohms to 1.2ohms, and they are available in side fill, top fill and replaceable coil forms so you have lots of options.
Conclusion
The Kumiho Thoth G can hold its own against most of the more mainstream and well-known brands and the pricing is attractive. You have lots of options with the pods as well, so you should be able to find something that suits your needs.
Many thanks to Healthcabin for sending the Kumiho Thoth G over for review.
