Time for a pod kit from a brand I am not familiar with – the Nevoks Feelin A1!

Nevoks Feelin A1 Main

However we at Ecigclick became acquainted with the brand in 2022 when we reviewed the Nevoks Feelin X pod kit.

Nevoks were created in 2019 in Shenzhen China. Their mission is to…

“build a non-tobacco and healthy world. To achieve this, we offer innovative stylish products, exceptional user experience, and reliable pre-sales and after-sales service.”

The Feelin range began in 2020 with the original Feelin Pod Kit, then the Feelin Mini in 2021 and the above mentioned Feelin X and Feelin C1 were the next in the series. They also created the Pagee and APX ranges.

Thank you to Nevoks for sending these over for review! I will report back honestly on the devices in my possession.

What To Expect From The Nevoks Feelin A1 Pod Kit…

This does give off the impression of being a very “back to basics” starter pod kit – but it does have some more advanced features!

feelin a1 components

Firstly the body conceals a 1000mAh battery which is charged using the USB Type C port at a 1A charge rate.

feelin a1 battery

The output is specified as 10-30W, but the device will recognise the pod installed and then allow you 3 output levels to suit the coil resistance.

feelin a1 output

You can either use the manual fire button or simply inhale on the mouthpiece to trigger the auto draw firing.

feelin a1 features

An LED is provided to view the device status, battery level and power level.

On the rear of the device an airflow adjustment slider is provided to tailor the incoming airflow to your preference.

feelin a1 airflow

Looking at the pods, these have a fixed coil – so you will discard the pod section when the coil performance drops.

There are quite a few pod options to choose from – 0.4ohm, 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm. The 0.4ohm and 0.6ohm are included in the kit.

feelin a1 pod options

Also there are two styles of pod – a 3ml standard version with a side fill port or a 2ml TPD pod which has a removable mouthpiece to access the top fill port.

feelin a1 filling styles

Nevoks promise a faster firing and increased airflow due to the 4 airflow inlets on the base of the coil which should result in better flavour too!

There are 7 colour options to choose from: Grey, Red, Blue, Pink, Gold, Purple and Black.

Nevoks Feelin A1 Design and Build Quality

I received the Black, Grey and Blue versions.

feelin a1 in hand

The packaging was classy with a cardboard over-sleeve which uncovered a cardboard tray with a foam cut out to house the device and a smaller cardboard box for the rest of the kit.

feelin a1 packaging

The instructions are some of the best I have seen in a while. Yes they are tiny but there are 10 pages in one language only. Plus there was a card with more details about the different pod options.

nevoks a1 instructions

Sadly there are no online instructions – I often find it useful to view them online or download PDF if the writing is very small.

Nevoks also kindly sent me a carry case and various different pods in different resistances / fill methods / capacities.

Nevoks Feelin A1 Mod

The design does remind me a bit of the Uwell Caliburn G / G2 with the textured panel and circular fire button.

feeling a1 front views

The body is mainly a metal shell made of Aluminium Alloy which makes it nice and light – even with a full pod. It has a matte metallic finish in the colour of your choice.

Looking first at the front of the mod, at the top is a cute “e-liquid viewing window” which has a nice design and also you can clearly see the “minimum” level marking on the pod. But as it is only cut out on the front, the window is quite dark so not a total success.

feeling a1 min mark

Moving down and the centre area of the front has a textured panel in an oval shape which features the tiny LED indicator. The LED is bright but could do with being a bit bigger.

feeling a1 LED

Below that is the 9mm diameter circular fire button which has a “record groove” texture which feels good and is easy to locate. It is nice and clicky and quick to respond to the multiple presses required to access some features.

feeling a1 fire button

Towards the bottom of the front is the “Nevoks” logo printed vertically – the colour of the text varies according to the device colour.

feeling a1 branding

Each side of the device has a shiny mirror finish panel and on the USB Type C port side it also has the text “5V 1A” and “3.7V 3.7Wh” etched in.

feeling a1 USB Side

On the rear you will find the airflow adjustment slider. This is very effective but is quite loose to slide, so you may find it moves accidentally. My only gripe with the design is the location of this slider as I often blocked the incoming airflow as the inlet is where I would grip the mod.

Top = Fully closed, Bottom = Fully open

The base features the required legal logos and appears to be made from Black plastic with a grooved texture.

feeling a1 base

At the top is the pod compartment, this is very deep so might not be that easy to access for cleaning etc, but as I have so far had no leaks I don’t see an issue.

feelin a1 pod compartment

Inside the pod compartment are 2 spring loaded connectors and 2 magnets which match up with the magnets on the pod base. The pod is held in firmly with no wobbly wobbly!

Auto Lock

When you don’t use A1 for 1 minute, the button will lock, you need to auto-draw to start it again. If you want to turn off this feature, 3-click while the device is switched off.

Nevoks A1 Pod

I was supplied with both styles of pod…

Side Fill 3ml Pod

This for me was the best design. The whole pod is a tinted colour and the top half is perfectly clear. The bottom half has a slight frosting which is a shame.

feeling a1 3ml side view

Even so the e-liquid level is clear to see.

feeling a1 3ml pod filled

I love the mouthpiece it is wide but slim in thickness and quite square, but extremely comfortable in use.

feeling a1 3ml mouthpiece

On one side the resistance and “Nevoks A1” is clearly marked and both sides have a “min” level line etched in.

feeling a1 3ml front view

The fill port is covered by a Silicone cover with the lift side marked with an arrow and a small indent to allow you to insert a nail to lift the cover.

feeling a1 3ml fill port

The fill port is an oval shape and roughly 5mm by 3.5ml and it was fine for my 30ml and 60ml bottles.

On the base you will find the required legal logos etched in, plus the 4 airflow inlets, 2 electrical contacts and 2 strong magnets.

feeling a1 3ml pod base

Top Fill 2ml Pod

This pod is for us poor buggers in the TPD regulated areas as it will only hold 2ml.

feelin a1 2ml front view

It is the same height as the 3ml pod which surprised me.

feelin a1 2ml v 3ml
Left = 3ml pod, Right = 2ml Pod

This time the top half of the pod is covered by the Black plastic removable mouthpiece. It is not as difficult to remove as some top fill pods I have tried but it does take a bit of budging.

I suggest snapping it off by gripping the pod and mouthpiece. I have added a video in the filling section.

Below that you will find a Silicone lift up cover with an arrow and a cut out to lift with a finger nail.

You can then swing the cover out of the way to access the port.

feelin a1 2ml fill port

As with the side fill pod, this has an oval fill port measuring roughly 3.5ml by 5ml and it performed fine with my e-liquid bottles.

With the fill port cover lifted you can also access the vapour outlet path – which should not be used to add e-liquid as this will cause spitting and flooding.

feelin a1 2ml filling

The rest of the pod is the same as the side fill, with the slightly frosted bottom half, the same printing and base.feelin a1 2ml base

The capacity is reduced as the pod does not continue behind the mouthpiece – it has a flat top.

Quick Start Guide

The device arrives with no pod installed. So you can choose your pod, fill with e-liquid and get vaping! I will cover the process below!

Nevoks recommend an e-liquid ratio of 50%VG up to 70%VG for all of the pods. The included tips card also shows the recommended airflow settings for each pod.

nevoks feelin a1 tips card

Basic Operation

  • Power On/Off = Press the fire button 5 times to turn on and off.
  • Vaping = Hold down the fire button to vape or simply inhale on the mouthpiece to trigger the auto draw activation.feelin a1 activation
  • Battery indicator = The LED will show Green for 60-100% charge remaining, Blue for 30-60% and Red for 0-30%.
  • Battery indicator when charging = The LED will cycle through the above colours and turn off when fully charged.
  • Airflow: Slide the airflow slider up and down. Up = more restricted airflow, down = less airflow restriction.
  • Adjust output = Press the fire button 3 times. Every time you press the fire button 3 times the LED will change colour to indicate the mode selected – Green (high – 3.5-3.6V), Blue (medium 3.4V) and Red (low 3.2V). When the satisfied with the level displayed leave the device and it will go back into standby mode.feelin a1 power modes

Protections

  • No Atomiser / Resistance too high: If the resistance is over 3.5ohm or there is an open circuit the LED will flash White for 15 seconds. Check the pod is installed correctly, clean contacts or replace with a new pod.
  • Low Battery: If the battery voltage is below 3.3V the Red LED will flash 15 times and the device will stop working until it is recharged.
  • Short circuit: If the resistance is less than 0.25ohm or there is a short circuit, the LED indicator will light up White for 5 seconds. Check the pod is installed correctly, clean contacts or replace with a new pod.
  • Over time protection: If vaping for longer than 10 seconds the fire will cut out and the LED will flash 5 times. Restart vaping as usual.
  • Overheat protection: If the circuit board is hotter than 85°C the White LED will flash 3 times and the device will not work until it has cooled down.
  • Pod installed: White LED will flash.

How To Charge The Battery

The charging rate is specified as 1A.

This does have “pass through” charging – meaning you can vape on it whilst charging.

  • Using a USB type C cable, connect the small end into the USB port on the mod.feeling a1 charging
  • Connect the large end of the cable into a suitable USB outlet.
  • The LED will cycle through the colours and turn off when fully charged.

I found this to take around an hour to charge from empty.

How To Fill the Pod

There are 2 pod styles – the top fill and side fill so I will cover the filling methods for both.

If using a new pod leave to stand for 5-10 minutes after first fill to allow the coil to saturate with e-liquid.

Make sure to fill when the e-liquid level is above the minimum marking on the side of the pod.

Top Fill

  • Push on the mouthpiece to get it to click off. I have recorded how I do it below (excuse my dodgy hands!)
  • Lift up the port cover in the direction of the arrow.feelin a1 2ml port cover
  • Add e-liquid to the oval shaped port. Do not add e-liquid to the centre port as this will cause flooding and spitting.feelin a1 2ml filling
  • Watch the e-liquid level through the side of the pod.feelin a1 2ml e-liquid
  • Replace the fill port cover firmly.
  • Replace the mouthpiece until it clicks.

Side Fill

  • Remove the pod from the mod.
  • Tip the pod on its side and lift up the fill port cover in the direction of the arrow.feeling a1 3ml fill port
  • Rotate the cover out of the way if needed.
  • Add e-liquid to the fill port watching the level through the side of the pod.feeling a1 3ml filling
  • Replace the fill port cover firmly.

How Does the Nevoks Feelin A1 Perform?

As there are different styles of pod included in the kit, I will choose different types of e-liquid to suit.

If any of these terms are over your head – have a read of our handy guides below!

0.4ohm Nevoks A1 Pod

The power outputs for this pod are..

  • Low = 25W
  • Medium = 29W
  • High = 30W

For this pod I will be using the Choppa Vapes Blue Slush shortfill e-liquid as it is designed for lower resistance coils with a ratio of 64%VG / 36%PG.

I have not added nicotine as I like the full flavour!

I basically stuck with the high power level as this was just epic.

The flavour and vapour are extremely good – with thick plumes when you exhale!

I get all the sweet syrupy notes of my e-liquid and it is a beautiful vape indeed. It feels way more powerful than it actually is!

The airflow felt best at 3/4 open for me – more of a restricted direct lung. But of course you can fully open it and push out the clouds!

After 4 refills (of 3ml – approx 12ml) the flavour was still banging!

0.6ohm Nevoks A1 Pod

The power outputs for this pod are..

  • Low = 17W
  • Medium = 19W
  • High = 22W

For this pod I used my 50% PG / 50% VG Bubblegum e-liquid with 6mg nicotine salt. I mix this myself from the IVG concentrate.

One thing that really surprised me was the volume of vapour – bloody hell was not expecting that at all!

The flavour is decent – not the best I have ever tried but still a lot better than some kits. I am finding a lack of throat hit – I expected this to be quite fierce with a 0.6ohm pod and nic salts but it is still very smooth.

I found I used this pod with the airflow half open to get the best combo of flavour and vapour.

Overall an above average pod and I have refilled this 7 times (this is the 3ml pod so 21ml roughly) and the flavour has not dipped at all.

Additional Pods

As I was also sent the 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm pods I thought I would add how they performed.

I will not be adding these to the ratings at the end as these are just optional extras!

0.8ohm Pod

0.8ohm is my usual “go-to” when it comes to MTL vaping as it is the pod I prefer in my OXVA Xlim kits. For this pod I used the same 50/50 Bubblegum e-liquid as I used in the 0.6ohm pod.

I found this to be an OK performer, not quite as flavourful as other kits with 0.8ohm coils / pods. Where this did have a huge benefit was with the battery life. The battery charge lasted around 7 hours and around 4 refills (12ml) on the high power mode.

It is an average vape, the flavour is there, but not bursting like the 0.4ohm and 0.6ohm pods.

There is a nice warmth and plenty of vapour though.

1.2ohm Pod

For this pod I used an e-liquid with a bit more “oomph”. I chose the Unreal Berries Blackcurrant & Strawberry 50/50 e-liquid with a 20mg Nicotine Salt strength.

I really like this pod! Usually the high resistance pods can lack a bit of flavour and throat hit. However using this on the high power setting it is way better than I was expecting.

I found the airflow was best at the mid-way point and this was a perfect MTL vape!

Airflow

To help rate how restricted the airflow is, I use a scale – where 0 = fully closed, no airflow up to 10 = breathing fresh air.

For the 0.6ohm pod this ranged from 1 fully closed up to around 7 when fully open so quite a wide range of adjustment – which is excellent as this pod is on the boundary of being MTL, DTL and RDL!

With the 0.4ohm pod this again started at 1 when fully closed and I would say roughly 7 when fully open. So you will be able to comfortably use RDL and DTL vaping styles.

The 0.8ohm pod was 1 when airflow fully closed and around 5 when fully open – so quite a bit more airflow restriction.

With the 1.2ohm pod I found it rated 1 fully closed and again around 5 fully open.

Mod Performance

The auto draw fire was very responsive even with the airflow fully open – which can cause misfiring or stuttering on some kits. The Nevoks Feelin A1 had no issues at all!

The output seemed well regulated and I only noticed a drop in output on the last 4 or 5 vapes before the battery conked out.

It does take a full hour to charge which is OK when you consider it has a 1000mAh battery, but it is only 1A charge rate. If that was increased to a quicker 2A charge rate it would be a great upgrade.

Leaks

Not a single drop – totally leak free and bizarrely there is barely any condensation either! Extremely well designed pods (apart from the top fill obviously!)

Battery Life

This is always a variable and will depend on the pod installed, output level selected and your own vaping habits.

With the 0.6ohm pod I got nearly 5 hours on the medium power output and 4.5 hours on the high power output. This equated to around 2-3 refills per charge (6-9ml)

I used the 0.4ohm pod at the high power level and the battery life was very much impacted at around 2.5 hours and 2 refills (6ml). It is worth noting that I was not using nicotine in the e-liquid so I was really hammering the vaping!

I got around 7 hours and around 4 refills (12ml) on the high power mode with the 0.8ohm pod.

Pros

  • Classy looking kit
  • Draw and button fire provided – sometimes over time the auto draw firing can fail on a device so it is great to have the back up of a fire button.
  • A lot of features for what first appears to be a basic pod kit!
  • A great range of pods to suit all vaping styles
  • Large range of airflow adjustment
  • Flavour on both included pods was great
  • Feels and performs way better than the price tag would imply
  • The 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm pods give exceptional battery life
  • Zero leaks from any of the 4 pods I tried!

Cons

  • I do have concerns as to whether the replacement pods will be widely available as this brand is not one of the main ones usually stocked by all retailers. But if you purchase your supplies online you should be fine.
  • Position of Airflow slider / inlet does mean I accidentally cover it when vaping
  • 1A instead of 2A charge rate – but it still does only take an hour to charge.
  • Top fill pods are a bit fiddly to open to refill
  • The e-liquid viewing window is a bit dark – could do with having cut-outs on both sides of mod.

Nevoks Feelin A1 Final Review Verdict

The initial appearance of being a “no frills” pod kit does this an injustice! There are features which you get such as airflow adjustment and power level choices which make this into a slightly more advanced kit.

Also the good range of pods means this should satisfy most vapers and the large range of airflow adjustment seems to be able to match that claim.

It is not the most exciting kit to look at but it does remind me of the Caliburn kits, which look plain but really perform well.

Overall I was impressed as it outperformed my expectations – however it has not done enough to replace the Xlim’s and Caliburn’s as being my favourite pod kits. Plus they are a similar price to the Feelin A1 and superior in performance.

If you buy the Nevoks Feelin A1 kit and find the pod which suits you – you will not be disappointed as it is a good performer and at below £20, it is better than some kits with a higher price tag!

nevoks-feelin-a1-reviewThis is not the best pod kit out there in this genre, but if you purchased it you would not be disappointed as it outperforms some more expensive kits. However it does have very strong competition in the pod market and it doesn't quite hit the mark of the better ones at a similar price.
