There are disposable items, the packaging and presentation of which are quite presentable. In my opinion, exactly such a device is a Pod device called GEMINI, produced by the MGO brand.

MGO GEMINI POD KIT packaging

So, we have a box “with a shift”, that is, it opens by moving the cover up or down. The front part shows the top of the device, its name, flavors (there are two of them – more on that below) and a large warning about the dangers of nicotine. canadian vape shop edmonton On the sides are the characteristics of the device, the complete set and the entire view. On the back there is the production date (06/17/2022) and expiration date (24 months), a sticker for checking originality, recommendations for use and manufacturer contacts. Overall, everything you need is there and you can open it.

Package contents MGO GEMINI POD KIT

We slide the cover and in the black insert we have the following: the pod device itself (roughly speaking, a rechargeable battery pack), two cartridges with liquid of different flavors, a bag with four filters and a drip tip, a USB Type-C cable for charging and instructions. Agree that everything looks very civilized and dignified, and can easily qualify for a symbolic present.

Now briefly about how it all works. The battery pack is made of aluminum, has a niche at the top for a stick with a contact group, and at the bottom there is a charging port and holes for air supply when tightening. The upper part of the cartridge is covered with a silicone plug to protect it from dust, and the lower part, where the contacts are located, is sealed with a protective sticker. I think there is no need to explain for a long time how it works, but in a nutshell it looks like this: remove the protective sticker from the cartridge, insert it into the block (the contacts will “find” each other when docked and take the correct position), pull out the plug – and That’s it, you can take a puff. Although no, there is something else…

And this something is a bag containing 4 filters and a plastic drip tip on two orings. The story is partially repeated with the MGO D14 and MGO D03 models, which also had complete filters. Perhaps they will really help people get used to such an electronic device after the analogue one, but they certainly do not add taste. With a complete drip tip, things are much better, because it is really convenient to use the device. If you decide not to use the contents of the included bag at all, believe me, this is also possible.

Cartridge packaging for MGO GEMINI POD KIT

For MGO GEMINI, as well as for the MGO D06 model, cartridges with different flavors can be purchased separately. They are supplied in colored cardboard boxes; the set consists of two sticks with liquid, each of which is packaged in a separate bag. There is also information on the Internet that you can purchase a battery pack separately. In other words, assemble the kit piece by piece.

Characteristics of MGO GEMINI

Now a few characteristics, of which there are not very many:

Evaporator resistance in cartridge: 1.4 Ohm (on grid)

Cartridge capacity: 2.0ml

Charging capability: via USB Type-C port.

And that’s all we could find. About the battery pack, I can say that a full charge is enough for a day of use, and charges in about 30-40 minutes. Well, the liquid in the cartridge is enough for approximately 800-1000 puffs.

And one more moment. I was very interested in whether it is possible to use a cartridge from the MGO D06 model in GEMINI.

Description of MGO GEMINI POD KIT flavors

Judging by the information on the Internet, today there are 5 sets of 2 flavors each. I got 4 of them for testing – and more about all this below in the text.

MGO GEMINI – Frosted Mango Grape / Passion Fruit

The first cartridge is very sweet. Moreover, in fact, all the sweetness comes from the mango; the fruit here is extremely rich and juicy, but this makes it a little “chemical”, without the usual natural ripeness. The grapes are left somewhere behind, and there is only a slight background berry flavor. No frost was detected.

The second cartridge is no less sweet passion fruit, the taste of which is very reminiscent of fruit juice. And yes, it is very similar to a tropical fruit.

MGO GEMINI – Pinacolada Rum / Tobacco

The first cartridge is a classic cocktail of pineapple and coconut slices. The first declared component acts as a base; its taste is more than distinct, pleasant and natural. I will also note that there is some kind of slightly bitter aftertaste – perhaps this is the interpretation of the said rum. You know, it turned out very well!

The second cartridge is dry, tart, slightly drying tobacco leaf. Tobacco is also tobacco in Africa, a real masculine taste.

MGO GEMINI – Strawberry Kiwi / Frosty Watermelon

The first cartridge is pure kiwi water. If usually in such pairs the berry dominates, then here the fruit with juicy green pulp is definitely the first in everything. The kiwi in this mix is very similar to the one sold on store shelves or markets; it is ripe and soft and sweet in its own way. Strawberries act as a companion, only for a light berry flavor.

The second cartridge is never frosty or even cool, but quite a ripe watermelon, strongly reminiscent of the chewing gum of the same name. Yes, that’s it, because the taste is a little sugary, partly even candy-like.

MGO GEMINI – Blueberry raspberry / Menthol

The first cartridge is a classic of such recipes! Ripe berries merging together into a juicy tandem. Both blueberries and raspberries are presented very powerfully here, with a slightly unusual sweetness, without natural sourness, but still they are easily recognizable. Yes, again there is a hint of sweet caramel here, but I want something more natural, but overall it turned out pretty good.

The second cartridge is menthol, which cannot be confused with anything. Some people will notice a hint of toothpaste in this taste, others will feel mint chewing gum, but the recipe is definitely invigorating and refreshing, as befits such a component as menthol.

Conclusions

Traditionally, MGO flavors are quite sweet – and the new GEMINI product is no exception. It seems that the components are selected at the proper level, and there is a concept, but sometimes the proper natural taste is sorely lacking. If you close your eyes to this and imagine that this is how it should be, then undoubtedly such a set takes place. Presentation, kit, build quality and materials – everything is very good. And the price seems to be justified. Moreover, you can spend money on a set once (or even find a battery pack separately) and only buy more of your favorite flavors.
