Review: Eleaf iCare 2 Pod

Addendum to previous review - this order came super fast, within 2 days. Excellent seller

I've been using the iCare 2 for about 2 years now, and although there are a few minor drawbacks as mentioned in other reviews, it is the best I've found for the price and my personal prefs. Small and easy to carry/conceal, I like the hit and product quality is consistent. I've broken one pod in the past 2 years, and once I got a pack of crappy coils, but all in all, I can absorb that since the cost is low and 99% of the time, product quality is good. I keep coming back.

I really enjoy this vape. Great clouds, great taste, and good battery life. I just bought a second one I love it so much. It's not the best for salt nic but I did a little research and found that eleaf makes an SC coil that fits on these. The SC coil has much bigger openings for juice and is made for thick juices so hopefully this will help the coils last a bit longer. The salt nic I ordered is supposed to be here today so I will post an update later on but for regular juice this device is a beast!

It’s a decent device the plastic is cheap, but so are the pods so all in all good deal.

Great for Nic salts. Great price. Fast shipping thanks.

Very inexpensive portable mini-vape. Nice hit, nice flavor. Can't really complain about much considering the bang for the buck that you get with this. Best cheap portable on the market. A tie with the original Icare because some features on this are better, some are not.

My big issue with Eleafs design of the iCare 2 is the cheap plastic thats used. Says to use your fingernails to remove the bottom piece to replace the coil. I’m a man! I do not have nails. If you take a closer look at how its setup; there is only a thin small plastic lip that is holding the bottom piece together. These break very and I mean VERY EASY! I am now on my third iCare 2 Pod. Its almost like a doomsday countdown. Everything is fine when you first get the pod because the coil is pre-installed but you begin to hear that dreaded doomsday countdown as days or even weeks pass by because you know it will soon be time to replace the coil and you just know the plastic will break causing your high dollar nic salts to leak all in your device! Maybe its just me but I really believe Eleaf could have come up with a better way to replace the coil. This is just super frustrating!

I love the original icare, so thought this was going to be great, no its crap. The pod is the culprit, it leaks from the coil gasket on bottom and spits juice in your mouth from the top.

Great little vape..!

I had my last real cigarette on 5/26/15. A long-term, heavy smoker of almost 30 years; I had success quitting the real thing with the help of Blu batteries/box, with after-market cartomizers (Blu cartomizers taste awful). Over the two or so years that I used Blu, the quality of their charger boxes went down, and I tired of replacing them at $40 bucks per.  I know that vape aficionados scoff at that sort of thing, and I don't care- I'm still addicted to nicotine, and given my crazy stressful work, I don't foresee giving it up any time soon.  Searching for an alternative  to Blu, I came across the iCare2, and noted the generally positive reviews for the product. For my MTL money, iC2 is a great product that produces a good throat hit, and a nice lung full of vapor to exhale. It's durable, the quickly charged battery lasts for hours, and at $15 bucks, it's economical.  Like Blu, it's what I call CCV- Concealed Carry Vape, so it's easy to be discreet when using it, and I can easily sneak in a drag at my work station, a bar, concert venue, and the like.  There are minor spitting issues, and because I keep my nails short, it's a bit difficult to remove the bottom cap to change the coil- so I always keep a couple extra pods on hand, just in case I break a piece of the plastic off. The coils usually last me seven to nine days, and as I mentioned, you'll want to purchase extra pods, which have the added bonus of coming with a coil already installed.  If you're only vaping to kick the real thing, and you don't want to lug around a big old mod, it's hard to beat the iCare2.
