The Yocan Kodo Animal Series is the new upgrade to the popular Kodo device. I reviewed the original Yocan Kodo in 2019, and it’s still one of my most popular reviews. People love this device because of its tiny size and how it does exactly what it needs to do. It’s simple and discrete, and it performs great.
Design
The Yocan Kodo Animal Series is a tiny little 510 cartridge device. This new model has several upgrades over the original but is very close to the same size. It’s slightly taller but only by about 7mm, so it’s not noticeable.
At the top is the 510 thread and a lanyard hole, and the front of the device features some type of animal. The animal’s eyes are LED lights, and the firing button is in the animal’s mouth.
There’s a large selection of colors and animals to pick from:
- Black: Elephant or Croc
- White: Tiger or Cat
- Red: Wolf or Snake
- Purple: Lion or Dog
- Blue: Gorilla or Shark
Features
The Kodo Animal has three voltage levels, which you can select by clicking the firing button three times fast. You can tell which voltage you’re using by the color of the LED lights.
- 2.5v – blue
- 3.0v – green
- 3.5v – red
The voltage options are the same as the original Kodo. It’s a small selection but it keeps thing simple.
This also has a preheat mode, which runs for 15 seconds at 1.8 volts. That’s a nice low voltage that will warm your cartridge without wasting it.
There’s a 15-second cutoff, which is nice for safety reasons and should be plenty of time for most people to get the hit they want.
You can use any cartridge with a resistance higher than 0.8 Ohms, which would be pretty much any cart on the market.
Battery
The internal battery is a 900mAh XL battery. This is a massive battery for such a tiny device. And more than twice the capacity of the original, so that’s a significant upgrade.
This also charges using a USB-C cable; another big upgrade over the micro-USB of the original. It fully charges in only an hour. The charging port is on the bottom of the device.
Final Thoughts
The Kodo Animal Series device is an excellent upgrade to a great product. It looks better, performs better, has a larger battery, and charges with USB-C. And they’re affordable. If you want a nice little discrete 510 vape, this is a great option.
You can get the device for $17.99 from Yocan.
