Geekvape Wenax S3 Pod Kit

The Wenax S3, a discreet pen for vaping without constraint

The Wenax S3 pod kit from Geekvape takes the shape of a 19mm diameter pen, weighing barely 51 grams. It fits in a shirt pocket and is quickly forgotten. It is for people leaving cigarettes behind as well as those looking for an easy-going second device, with a built-in 1,100mAh battery that charges by USB-C cable.

Two ways to use it: you draw and it fires by itself, or you keep your hand on the button to decide each puff. Three quick presses move the power from the low level to the high level (red, blue then green light), and Boost mode sends maximum power when you want a denser puff. The air inlet adjusts finely: tightened, it gives mouth-to-lung inhalation (MTL, the vapour stays in the mouth first, as with a cigarette); more open, a restricted direct draw (RDL), airier.

Compatible pods

The Wenax S3 works with Geekvape S pods, whose coil is built in: when the taste runs out of steam, you change the whole pod. Find them as Wenax S pods 2 Pack, in 0.8ohm (14 to 18W) for more vapour or in 1.2ohm (9 to 13W) for a softer vape. These pods also fit the Wenax S3 Evo, its more recent version. The other devices are in the pod kits category, all refills in the pods category.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to press the button to vape?

No, just draw. The button is mostly used to change power level, start Boost mode or lock the device.

Which pod should I keep for everyday use?

The 0.8ohm, fitted as standard, works between 14 and 18W and gives more generous vapour. The 1.2ohm is content with 9 to 13W: the puff is softer, a good starting point if you are coming off cigarettes.

What are the filter tips for?

Placed on the pod, they give a feel in the mouth close to that of a cigarette. The box contains three.
