I\u2019ve had the Eleaf iSOLO AIR 3 on my desk for a few days now, and I\u2019ve been using it as my daily driver to see how it effectively holds up against the competition. On paper, it looks like a standard pod mod, but after putting it through its paces, it\u2019s clear this device is punching well above its weight class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my take on how it performs in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions and Build Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Picking it up, the first thing you notice is just how compact this device really is. It tucks neatly into the palm of your hand, and the leather-style grip panel adds a layer of comfort that stops it from feeling cold or slippery like some all-metal devices. The alloy body gives it a reassuring weight, it doesn’t feel like a cheap plastic toy, but it\u2019s light enough that you won’t notice it in your pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interface layout is intuitive and clean. You have a responsive fire button that sits naturally under the thumb, a crisp OLED screen that stays bright even in daylight, and solid adjustment buttons that don’t rattle. The USB-C port is conveniently located at the bottom, keeping the aesthetic clean. Overall, the construction feels durable and ready for daily wear and tear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Power and Battery Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fitting a 1600mAh battery into a frame this small is impressive engineering. In my testing, I found it comfortably lasted a full day of moderate vaping without needing a top-up. Even with heavier use at higher wattages, it holds its ground surprisingly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 40W output ceiling is more than enough for the included coils. I rarely found myself needing to push it to the max to get a satisfying hit. When you do need to recharge, the 2A fast charging is a significant advantage. It minimises downtime, getting you back to a full charge much faster than older micro-USB devices. This is a massive plus if you are using this as your primary kit and are constantly on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Smart” Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most practical features I found during testing is the Smart Wattage mode. As soon as you insert the pod, the chipset detects the coil resistance and automatically adjusts the wattage to the manufacturer’s recommended setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t just a gimmick; it\u2019s a genuine quality-of-life improvement. If you frequently switch between the 0.8ohm and 0.3ohm coils for different vaping styles, the device remembers your preference for each. It prevents that common mistake of accidentally firing a high-resistance coil at 40W and burning the wick instantly. It simplifies the experience, letting you focus on vaping rather than constantly fiddling with settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flavour and Airflow Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The iSOLO AIR 3 utilises the established GTL coil series, which is known for longevity and flavour clarity. I spent time with both included options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
