Allo Pava Horiz Ultra Pod Kit

The 2.01in HD touchscreen is the device's defining feature, and it is a proper colour panel you navigate by touch. Out of the box you can pick from watch-face-style themes, from clean wattage readouts to elaborate skeleton-watch and compass designs, so the device looks the way you want. It is a level of personalisation no ordinary pod kit offers, and it is the main reason to choose the Pava Horiz Ultra over a plain device.

Beyond looks, the screen drives the smart functions. Smart Mode reads the resistance of the pod you fit and automatically sets an appropriate wattage, which takes the guesswork out for newer vapers. Eco Mode reduces output to extend battery life when you are away from a charger. Both are selected and monitored on the touchscreen rather than buried in button-click menus, which makes them easy to actually use.

Bluetooth is where it goes furthest beyond vaping. Pair the device with your phone and the screen can show notifications, let you answer or reject calls and control your music. Whether you want that from a vape is a fair question, and plenty of people will leave it switched off, but it is there if the novelty appeals or if you like keeping glanceable notifications on a device already in your hand.

The most genuinely useful smart feature is the quit-smoking assistant. The device counts your puffs and tracks your usage over time, giving you real data on how much you are vaping. For anyone trying to cut down, that feedback loop is more practical than any of the entertainment features, turning the screen into a tool rather than a gimmick.

For all the smart features, the Pava Horiz Ultra still has to perform as a vape, and the hardware is sound. The kit includes two 2ml refillable pods, each with its own mesh coil: a 0.6 ohm pod tuned for a restricted direct-to-lung draw with warmer, fuller vapour, and a 0.8 ohm pod for a tighter mouth-to-lung inhale closer to a cigarette. Having both in the box means you can find your preferred style without buying anything extra.

The pods are side-filling, which is the tidy way to do it: a port on the side of the pod opens for filling, so you top up without removing the pod or making a mess. Being refillable, they take any 50/50 e-liquid, whether a nic salt or a shortfill cut to strength, which keeps the running cost low compared with prefilled-pod systems. When a coil tires, you replace the whole pod rather than fiddling with a separate coil.

Power runs from 5 to 30W, which is a sensible range for 2ml mesh pods. The 0.6 ohm pod likes the upper end for denser RDTL clouds, while the 0.8 ohm sits lower for a cooler MTL draw. If you do not want to think about it, Smart Mode picks for you. The 30W ceiling is plenty for pods of this size; this is not a sub-ohm cloud machine, and it does not pretend to be.

The 1300mAh battery is a good size for a pod kit and comfortably outlasts the slim, smaller-celled devices in this class. USB-C fast charging keeps downtime short, and the screen shows the exact battery percentage rather than a vague light. For a device doing this much, the battery holds up well across a day of normal use.
