The Suorin Drop is a stylish refillable pod vape designed to look like the shape of a teardrop. It comes with a 2 mL empty pod with a resistance of 1.3 ohms, and a tight draw that works exceptionally well for MTL vaping.
Fitted with a low-capacity 300 mAh internal battery, the Drop measures a mere 73 mm x 49 mm x 12 mm – which fits easily into the 5th pocket of my jeans. But although the Suorin Drop is small in stature, it has a notable heft and at ~65 grams with a full pod.
Retail Price: $34.99
Empty Pods: $3.99
Colors: Black, Yellow, Tiffany Blue, Brushed Gunmetal, Red
Being a bit of a sucker for vape novelties, I bought a Suroin Drop out of sheer curiosity. And, well, because I think it looks awesome! I just had to have it. Plus, of the five or so vape shops I got to, I was told these kits have been selling fast. That’s how I ended up with a Tiffany Blue Drop. Not my choice. Just what was left.
I’ve used it for almost two weeks now and have a few things to say about my experience with it. Spoiler alert: I like it a lot more than the Suorin Air! But all is not perfect. Hopefully this short review can help you make an informed decision about whether you want to buy the Suorin Drop.
That body! The flattened teardrop form of the Drop is akin to the Vype Pebble but with a much more solid feel and refined design. It’s finished with an easy-to-grip rubber coating which has a soft & smooth feeling. The Suorin Drop feels secure in the hand, especially because it has a button that gives your fingers something to grab onto. But the button has no real “button” function – it’s not even an LED. But I do like having it there. Still kinda odd though.
Onto the pods. They’re leak resistant, spitback-free, and devoid of hot-pops. They are best filled with needle-tip droppers. The plugs to access the chamber for filling are attached (like on the Air), so you won’t have to fear losing them.
Sometimes only one side of the pod’s gets depleted. I have left it like that overnight and the pods do equalize, but I can’t say how long it took. Normally when I see one side empty, I just refill it. No need to risk a burnt hit. But that also means I have to refill after only using half the pod’s capacity.
A few more issues with the pods: The Suorin Drop’s dark tinted pods can be hard to see through unless holding it up to a bright light (despite how it looks in pictures). You can hardly see the battery-level indicator light unless you’re in a dark room looking in a mirror (the pod lights up from the bottom as you draw on it). And though the pods should feel secure in the battery, the pods do not click into place. At all! It’s mush. I can take a pod out of the battery with just my mouth. Not cool.
For my preferred style of vaping, the Drop has a top-notch hit. It’s a satisfyingly warm MTL draw. It’s not super tight (like on the Phix), but it’s tight.
The flavor is good too. It’s accurate, and the vapor is quite dense for the size (akin to a bulkier Aspire Breeze). In general, I love the vape from this thing. It hits kinda hard, so you might want to step down your nic a bit. Either way, it’s a great hit for salt eliquid.
But, I have had issues with the performance. Inconsistent hits, misfires, and it takes a little too long – over a second – for the device’s automatic draw to be activated from a cold state. The inconsistent hits could be all in my imagination, but the misfires are not! Every once and awhile, I go to take a draw – which is already a bit slow to be activated – and a few seconds in I realize I am sucking on air. Ugh!
The Suroin Drop is more than an aesthetically pleasing design. It’s reasonably priced and a big plus is the refillable pods are only $3.99. My one pod has lasted over two weeks with no drop off in flavor or vapor. It’s a helluva vape.
But I think the issues need to get worked out… like in a version two. The unsecure pods, slow-to-ramp coils, the odd wicking of just one side of the pod, and especially the misfires are my biggest gripes. I am still able to enjoy the device though, like, a lot! I just wish I would’ve known about those issues before buying. I likely would’ve waited for a sale.
I recommend this device if you are a pod chaser and also a big fan of a tight MTL draw. The Drop gives good flavor and killer hits. If that’s not enough for you to look past its shortcomings, you just saved a minimum of $30.
What do you think about the Drop? Sound off in the comments section below.
What does the flashing blue light mean!!
Blinking blue light means your battery is at medium level. Many vape devices begin operating at medium power when the battery level drops. It blinks blue to let you know you should recharge it soon. This is the answer mentioned in Suorin official direct sale online store blog; you can check it!
I still can’t figure it out. As I am sure you know, it’s also not written in the manual. Flashing red means battery is about to go kaput. Blue means the battery is charged from 30-100%. But that flashing blue is a mystery to me. It only happens for me when I take out a pod… but it doesn’t always happen. Another oddity in an otherwise good device.
It’s time for an update (already). Some things have changed with my experience. Some good and some bad. I’ll make sure to address the lights and other issues I missed.
Mine will flash blue randomly when I try to inhale, and it doesn’t activate.
I had issues with the misfires of the first Drop I had. I bought a new one and it does not have those issues, but the flashing light still happens.
Very important that you guys use the charger that came with the drop, not just any micro usb. Flashing red or blue light means the battery has been fried.
how do you vape 2 flavors at once?
Mistake on my part. There are two sections for filling the pod. When the device first came out, it seemed as if the two chambers were separate from each other, thus allowing the pod to get filled with two separate flavors. But after a while, I noticed that the pods’ two chambers do equalize, which means it’s just one chamber. In other words, the way to vape this pod with two flavors is the same way you would with any tank! Just add two separate flavors. But that’s nothing special. There have been other devices that have come out (like… Read more »
You didnt hit any of the problems that i have about this vape. I love the drop but its not stable at all making it very easy to fall off your table and breaking on impact which hasnt happened to me but everyone i know who has had one broke it in the first 2 weeks. Another thing is that the cartridges, yea they are only 3.99 but when i buy 30ml of juice i need to buy 5 cartridges because they vurn so dang fast and for one reason the bubbles. Every two minutes of hitting this thing i… Read more »
Hi Colin, Consider that my review and the purchase of the Suorin Drop was over a year ago (when it first came out) and a lot of the issues I had others didn’t have, and vice versa. For instance, my pods were mushy when they went into a battery, but now they click into place. These companies frequently change manufacturers, designs, and materials without saying so (just like Suorin did with the Air. They never said the new pods were a v2, but they were different than the originals.) No matter how you slice it, these are mass-produced products from… Read more »
This was definitely a Quick & impatient buy for me at a store & something I never do before research also (I only buy online when it comes to” any ” of these devices, but due to the fact my Novo was stolen! So I didn’t have any knowledge about the Suorin Drop … Except it was kind of a low price for something that I don’t know is worth spending my money on & trying or ” if it’s my style of using or liking “!?
How is it working for you? It’s definitely different than the Novo, but it’s still quite popular.
Pods last a long time but to extend the pod life you can wash out the pod with water then put juice in it and wait 10 minutes.
