In this review, I will tell you about the most wild and extraordinary device, the CAMPBEL KIT from the Chinese company Smoant.
In the last slowpoke review, I lamented that the miracle Rofvape STALIN Pipe Mod was discontinued and the company ceased to exist. This time, the manufacturer Smoant is alive and well, but the device has also been discontinued and is no longer sold. And there is nothing to be sad about.
Packaging
The Smoant CAMPBEL KIT package is simply gorgeous and one might even say premium. Everything starts with a decent-sized cardboard box in royal blue and gold embossed inscriptions. On the front side are the names, logos and a note about the color of the device. new zealand vape shop wellington On the back side: delivery set, specifications, information about the manufacturer, barcodes and QR codes, a strip with an authenticity verification code and a number of certificate icons. The sides are given over to logos, internet address and other insignificant information.
Smoant CAMPBEL KIT – delivery set
Inside you will first of all be greeted by an envelope made of thick black paper with various waste paper inside, parts of the device (and a couple of spare glasses) will be placed in separate compartments cut in foam plastic, and spare coils and a charging cable will be in individual boxes.
Paper package: instructions (mostly in Chinese with rare inclusions of English), a memo on safe use, another memo on batteries, a warranty card and a certificate of internal quality control. In small boxes there will be two spare evaporators, a USB – microUSB charging cable and a bag with spare sealing rings.
Design
The Smoant CAMPBEL KIT looks a bit wild at first glance, and at the second and subsequent glances, too. The battery pack is even normal against the background of “all this”, but the tank is almost 12 (!) centimeters high and amazes and makes you think about the teachings of grandfather Freud. The metal coating is always glossy for any color of the case, so all your fingerprints will be instantly collected, and rainbow stains will please the eye a little less often than usual. If you don’t pay special attention to the protruding tank, you can note how conveniently the battery pack fits in your hand, which is largely due to the edges rounded on all sides. The decorations on the kit include the inscriptions Smoant and CAMPBEL, as well as an insert made of dark plastic around the Fire button.
The tank body, for a change, is not threaded, but simply put on a pair of sealing rings. That is, the entire upper part can be easily removed without unscrewing a single threaded connection and calmly fill the main tank, having previously unscrewed the upper steel cover. As you can see in the photo above, there is even some kind of adjustment of the air intake intensity, but there is no point in using it only because there is absolutely no need to make a tight blowing on a hookah device.
We remove the glass of the main tank and get access to the classic base for a maintenance-free coil and the ability to replace the coil itself.
The coils are classic, with a vertical spring inside and a resistance of 0.2 Ohm. There are three of them in the kit, but whether it is possible to buy them separately, when these run out – it is not clear, you will have to go to stores and look for analogs comparing sizes personally.
Personal impressions
For the purity of the experiment, I poured a 50/50 base of 3 strength into the tank and just started vaping. Naturally, there was zero taste, a moderate amount of steam. Then the bubbler was filled with Coca-Cola. The sensation of a hookah when inhaling is as similar as possible, that it bubbles, bubbling, the steam is as cold and wet as possible. The taste changed slightly, except that it became noticeably sweeter, and when drops of cola began to get into the mouth, a characteristic aftertaste of the drink appeared. Then there were experiments with other liquids in the bubbler: Fanta Grape (well, something like that), Lidsky dark kvass (now that’s more interesting, a vape with a bread aftertaste), red wine (nothing at all, as if you were breathing over a glass of “birla”). I didn’t risk pouring in milk or something strong alcoholic.

Smoant CAMPBEL KIT – size comparison
Well, I don’t even know. On the one hand, the Smoant CAMPBEL KIT is complete and utter crap. On the other hand, it’s no less cool crap that you can use to surprise your friends and strangers. It’s sort of like a “not quite a vape” (there are no settings or adjustments at all) and like an “almost hookah” (it gurgles, you can pour in any liquid you want).
