Design
The Charon Racer definitely makes a statement with its sleek, sporty look. The zinc alloy and leather combo gives it a premium touch, while the compact, ergonomic shape makes it super comfortable to hold. The 0.96" color screen is crisp and easy to read, showing all the important details like wattage, battery life, and coil resistance. I also love the adjustable 3-level airflow system, which makes switching between MTL (mouth-to-lung) and RDL (restricted direct lung) vaping effortless.

Pods
Smoant includes two pod options in the box:
- 0.6Ω coil (preinstalled) – Great for RDL vaping, producing a bit more vapor and a looser draw.
- 0.8Ω coil – Designed for MTL, giving a tighter pull and more throat hit.
There’s also a separate 0.4Ω coil available if you’re looking for a bit more power and vapor. Flavor-wise, these coils perform really well, delivering crisp, clean notes across different e-liquids. I found fruity and dessert flavors especially pop with these pods.
The 2.0ml pod capacity is decent, though heavy users might find themselves refilling often. The side-fill system is easy to use, and I haven’t run into any leaking issues so far.

Performance
For a pod system, the Charon Racer really holds its own. The adjustable 5W-45W range lets you fine-tune the experience, and the device fires almost instantly when you press the button.
Battery life is solid, easily lasting a full day of moderate use. When you do need to charge, USB-C fast charging (5V/2A) gets it back to 100% in about 45 minutes, a big plus if you’re on the go.

Pros
- Sleek, ergonomic design with premium materials
- Adjustable wattage (5W-45W) for customization
- Great battery life (1000mAh) & fast charging
- Three airflow settings for MTL & RDL
- Impressive flavor & coil longevity
- Compact, pocket-friendly size
- Includes a lanyard for easy portability

Cons
- 2.0ml pod capacity might be small for frequent vapers
- Only two coil options included (though they perform well)

Verdict
The Smoant Charon Racer is a versatile, stylish pod system that delivers on both performance and convenience. Whether you're into MTL or RDL vaping, the adjustable airflow, solid flavor, and compact design make this a great choice. The fast charging and long battery life also make it a reliable option for all-day vaping.

If you're looking for a refillable pod system with great flavor and customization, the Charon Racer is definitely worth checking out!

Big thanks again to Smoant for sending this over! I had a blast testing it out. Be sure to check out their website to see more of what they have to offer!
