Size, look, and feel
The VIBE SE is a sleek, pen-style pod with vibrant colors and a chameleon-like finish. It features a side USB-C port, mode slider, LED battery indicator, and a juice window—though the tinted pods make it hard to see levels. It feels solid and looks great.
The VIBE NANO is a compact, square design with a glossy finish, a small screen showing battery and mode, and similar tinted pod visibility issues. The mode switch and charging port sit at the bottom.
Both are lightweight, durable, and pocket-friendly. The SE stands out for its finish, while the NANO wins on design. Either is a solid choice.
Getting started
Both devices work the same—simple and hassle-free. They’re draw-activated with no buttons or power switches. Just fill the pod, wait five minutes to prime, pop it in, and vape.
Pods attach magnetically with a secure fit—no rattling. The LED shows battery status when inserting a pod. Filling is easy via a side rubber plug after removing the pod.
A mode switch lets you toggle between Power (stronger hit, more airflow) and Eco (tighter draw, better efficiency), adjusting both power and airflow together.
The battery meter is basic; the light color tells you the range of charge you have:
Green: 70-100%
Blue: 30-70%,
cRed: 0-30%
Performance
So, how do they vape? Both devices offer a solid MTL experience, with smooth performance and good flavor. They each come with one pod (usually 1.0-ohm in the U.S., though I got a 0.8-ohm with the NANO). It would’ve been nice to include both pod types.
The “Smart Pod” system uses dual-mesh coils—Eco mode fires one coil for longer life, while Power mode fires both for more flavor and vapor. Power mode drains battery and burns coils faster, but boosts performance. Eco mode is more efficient with a tighter draw.
Flavor and coil life are solid in both modes. Coils easily handle a 30 mL bottle and can last 1–2 weeks with normal use. Both modes are satisfying—it really comes down to your preference.
Battery life and charging
Both devices easily last a full day for most users. While listed at 1100mAh, real-world use is usually about 20% less. In testing, the VIBE NANO delivered 1046mAh and the SE 1022mAh—solid results. Charging speeds were around 0.94–0.95A, taking about 1 hour and 25 minutes for a full charge, which is great for this battery size.
These aren’t the fastest-charging pods, but they prioritize battery life and juice capacity over speed. Both support passthrough vaping, so you can vape while charging. No complaints on battery performance.

CONCLUSION
These two budget-friendly pod systems offer nearly identical features—great battery life, large juice capacity, and vibrant color choices. The Smart Pod tech with dual-mode switching works well and delivers solid performance. If you’re after an easy-to-use, reliable vape, both are great picks—just choose the design that suits you best.
