YUMI EPICMOD Review by Z-Lee-Cover

The EPICMOD seems to be a slightly younger version of the POPMOD when comparing them side by side. The only major differences between them are the airflow, the hand feel, and the shape of the mouth piece. Being that the EPICMOD lacks an airflow control, the shape of the mouth piece would further suggest that this device is meant more for (loose) MTL vapers. Let’s get started the YUMI EPICMOD Review together!

YUMI EPICMOD Review by Z-Lee

I received the Blueberry, Grape, and Pink Lemonade flavors for this review. I will describe below as best as I can with comparisons against the POPMOD when applicable.

– Blueberry –

Flavor Notes: Blueberry, Menthol, Sweetener?

Airflow Adjustments: None

Flavor Description: The blueberry flavor clearly overpowers the menthol additive. However, unlike the POPMOD, I’m getting a much sweeter flavor. This could be due to the lower presence of menthol which makes the blueberry pop out more, or an additive sweetener has been splashed in.

Rating: 8.0 – The menthol is far less present in the EPICMOD in comparison to the POPMOD however, you still get the cooling sensation of the menthol. This would probably rate higher for those who like more of a sweeter flavor.

– Grape –

Flavor Notes: Grape, Menthol

Airflow Adjustments: None

Flavor Description: The grape flavor is a mixture of candy grape and a real grape. To my surprise, the grape is a bit more subtle than the POPMOD, and maybe a tad bit sweeter or tart. I will however say that the menthol is much more prevalent in grape than it is in blueberry when comparing EPICMODS. An even blend of grape, menthol, and sweetener with a tad bit of a tart aftertaste.

Rating: 8.5 – This type of grape is more up my alley. If you want a more sweeter (tart?) grape flavor and less of a sugary one (if that makes any sense), this is a better choice over the POPMOD.

– Pink Lemonade -​

Flavor Notes: Pink Lemonade (?), Menthol

Airflow Adjustments: None

Flavor Description: I’m not exactly sure how to describe this. I can definitely taste the lemonade, but it’s like they shoved a bunch of flowers into the glass and muddled it all together. There’s a floral taste mixed in with the lemonade. It’s almost like I took in a mouth full of lemonade and then smelled some pungent wild flowers while swallowing the lemonade. I think pink lemonade way back in the day was actually made like this, but this isn’t what I’d expect from a pink lemonade disposable. The menthol is more subtle in this disposable, but still very present. By percentage, I’d say 40% lemonade, 35% wild flowers, and 25% menthol.

Rating: 6.5 – The flavor profile just doesn’t jive with the description very well. If the flavor was OG Pink Lemonade, I think that would be more accurate and would probably give some people a heads up that this isn’t a Kool-aid-type pink lemonade. A little bit of additional sweetener might have helped this one out a bit.

REVIEW TESTING & OBSERVATIONS

The EPICMOD sports a 650 mAh battery. Their overall size and physical attributes are very close with the exception of some additional edges etched into the EPICMOD. The EPICMOD doesn’t have an airflow control, and the airflow hole sits on the side. Judging by the build quality, the EPICMOD seems quite a bit more robust and forgiving if dropped being that the bottom 2/3 of the device is a single rubbery plastic piece. The only way this could leak is if the disposable sat on its side for a prolonged amount of time.

EPICMOD OVERALL RATING

The EPICMOD proves to be a better choice between these two mods, in my opinion. Again, I may have received a bunk set of POPMOD samples that skewed the results a bit, but I also believe the EPICMOD is better constructed against leaking which is always a concern for any pocketable vape product. Ultimately, if flavor is your biggest priority, then find what flavor you think suits you the best between these two and go with it.

Again, I want to thank Sue over at HealthCabin for sending these out for review. I may not be a fan of disposables, but I don’t mind testing them out to stay in the loop with what’s currently available on the market.
