The RUBI is an open-system pod vape perfect for using your own nic salts or any ejuice. It comes with a 1 mL empty pod and a universal micro-USB charger. Itโs slightly larger than the JUUL but more ergonomic with rounded edges. It also has a larger e-juice capacity, more airflow, and longer battery life at 280 mAh. And speaking of the battery, Kandypens states that it comes with a lifetime warranty.
Although it may look like a JUUL, the RUBI is different. It even works with concentrates. But my usage is strictly about the juice.

Filling and refilling the pods is simple. Choose your ejuice, then just pull off the side rubber stopper, fill with a needle-tip dropper, replace, then pop the pod in with a satisfying snap. In the week Iโve used it as an ADV, I havenโt had the slightest leak. No condensation or wet contacts. Also, thereโs been no spit back like so many other similar devices. Juices from 50% VG to 70% VG have worked like a charm. No dry hits so far.
These pods work well! One has lasted me a week so far with no drop off in performance. Utilizing a ceramic coil wrapped in organic Japanese cotton, the RUBIโs given me solid flavor and incredible vapor โ easily the biggest clouds Iโve seen from a device this size. The draw is like 1.5x as open as the JUUL, but itโs still good for MTL or even restricted lung hits. Itโs kinda remarkable for such a small thing.
Just trying to find objective cons about the device feels forced. I do wish it had pass-thru charging, but thatโs a pretty weak gripe. Especially when it doesnโt use a proprietary charger like so many others. The only other objective issue I have is that thereโs no visible window to monitor your juice level. But it’s no biggie. Simply pop out the pod to see how much juice is left. When the flavor drops a little, that’s when the pod is getting low.
I gotta give props to Kandypens for this device. It’s designed and built well. And the performance has been consistent. Although I’ve only used it for a week so far, I’ve purchased several pod vapes that barely work on the first day. Dribbling e-juice in the mouth. Weak hits. Dry hits. Misfires. Leaking! It goes on and on.
The RUBI has been free from of all that. Iโm impressed… not because it performs how it should but because it performs better than I thought these devices could. I strongly recommended the RUBI if you are into these kinds of devices and want to be able to use your own e-juice.
Is this for e-liquids or something funky?
Yes, for eliquid. “The RUBI is an open-system pod vape perfect for using your own nic salts or any ejuice.” Nic salt is just a type of nicotine (like in the JUUL, PHIX, or like Mr.Salt Eliquid).
How many refills did one pod last and where is the LED battery indicator and how does it work?
Are you kidding me? You must have either: A) gotten a faulty device and or battery, or pod (sometimes 3rd party sellers can be “sketchy”; I’m not sure where you purchased it from B) You did something wrong… period This hybrid pen pod mod (1000000 similar but better than Juul) produces clouds. I’m sorry to say, but this is the 2nd vape I’ve bought, and I plan on sticking with it. It’s small and concealable, refillable (I’ve gotten way over 15 refills, as I chain vape) MOSTLY IT PRODUCES CLOUDS OF VAPOR. Probably just as much as, if not only… Read more ยป
I’ve had about one refill every other day the past two weeks. The LED is the “k” seen in the pictures. It glows white while drawing on the device. It turns red when the power is depleting (maybe around 20% life left). How it works is the same as other devices similar to it. There is a battery, a pod that houses a wick, coil, chimney, and a reservoir for filling with your liquid (essentially the pod’s “tank”). The vape happens with a simple pull. It’s a draw-activated device which means there are no buttons. Air comes in from little… Read more ยป
Want to love this thing, just cant make it work for me. Almost no vapor, its like sucking in fresh air.
I completely agree (using nic salts). Also, the battery lasts much less than a day, and if to charge in the evening – the light will blink red in the morning even without vaping
Are you using regular ejuice?
Sorry to hear. This is not typical at all. Please contact customer support on the KandyPens website and they will send you a few replacement pods. Tell them Graham sent you. ๐
Not sure how replacement pods is going to help me, best guess is the unit is defective. Emailed them at the address supplied in the kit, but gmail says the address is not accept requests to connect.
The correct email is [email protected]. Try calling them on Monday at 855-526-3904 during normal business hours. They can assist you. Question: What are you using in the RUBI? If you watch all the review videos you will see the huge clouds people are getting so it must be the liquid or a defective pod. Either way, KandyPens customer support is the best in the industry and they will get you fixed up. ๐
Tested with 4 pods, so unlikely to be bad pods unless its a bad batch. More likely a defective battery. Spoken with two people who report the same issue. Juice is varied from DIY to Elements NS20.
Im UK based, so will await their response.
What kind or brand of oil should I get to refill the rubi pods? I’m new to vaping and clueless. I’m looking for full spectrum cbd oil for anxiety and the searches I’m doing are useless. Please help!
If you are planning on using the RUBI with CBD, you should make sure that you are getting vape juice and not a CBD oil tincture. It can get a bit confusing at times, because the word “oil” is often used for vape juice as well, but oil tinctures should not be vaped and are only suitable for oral use. We are listing our favorite CBD vape juices here, but note that the majority of CBD e-liquids are isolate based. If you want a full spectrum juice you should check the VaporFi CBD Custom Blend which is number 2 in… Read more ยป
Hi, Rubi device is also compatible with cbd e liquid?
Yes, you can use any type of e-liquid with it.
