HorizonTech Talons 3 Pod Kit

HorizonTech Talons 3 Pod Kit

Adjustable power up to 40W from a 1500mAh battery, with temperature control, intelligent coil recognition, and refillable sub-ohm pods that run from tight MTL to full DTL.

The HorizonTech Talons 3 ships with a 0.2ohm Kanthal pod, reads the coil material to switch between wattage and temperature modes on its own, and shows the lot on a 0.96" TFT colour screen.

It suits vapers who want mod-style control in a pocket pod, and it is one of the more feature-packed kits on Pirate Vapes at this price. You will find it in the Refillable Pod Kits range. Fill a pod with your own Nic Salts or freebase, pick a colour, and go.

Why vapers choose this:

• Sub-ohm in a pocket pod. The 0.2ohm Kanthal pod pushes proper vapour and bold flavour at up to 40W, which is unusual in a device this small, and it still steps down to a tight MTL draw on the higher resistances.

• Temperature control helps keep the pod running clean and extends its life.

• Coil recognition sets the mode for you, so there is no guessing.

• 1500mAh with 2A fast charging tops up in around 40 minutes.

• Colour TFT screen shows wattage, resistance, battery, puff count, and vape time at a glance.

HorizonTech Talons 3 Features

0.2Ω Sub-Ohm Pod and 40W Power

The headline is that 0.2ohm pod. Most pod kits top out well above sub-ohm, but the Talons 3 runs a proper low-resistance coil for thicker vapour and louder flavour, pushed by the full 40W. Open the stepless airflow right up, and it behaves far more like a small DTL kit than a typical pocket pod.

Temperature Control

Because it keeps things consistent. The stainless steel pods let the Talons 3 hold a set temperature rather than just firing raw wattage, which cuts down on dry, burnt hits and helps the coil last longer. It is a genuinely useful feature to see in a device this compact, not just a spec-sheet line.

0.96" TFT Colour Display

The 0.96" TFT colour display is busier than most, in a good way. It shows set wattage, pod resistance, battery level, puff count, and vaping time, so you always know exactly where you stand. The coolest feature? The fire button doubles as your wattage control. Simply spin the dial around the button to dial your power up or down without clicking through tedious menus. Pair it with a bottle from the 10ml e-liquids range and you are set in seconds.

0.2Ω to 1.0Ω Pod Range

The Talons 3 takes the full Talons pod range from 0.2ohm up to 1.0ohm, so you can run a warm, airy DTL setup one week and a tight MTL draw the next just by swapping the pod. Combined with the stepless airflow, that is a lot of range from a kit this small.

The 1500mAh battery goes a day and a half for most vapers, and the 2A USB-C charging brings it back quickly when it does run low. The slim stainless steel and polymer body slips into a pocket easily, making it a solid daily carry from the MTL Vape Kits side that can also chuck a proper cloud.

Thirteen finishes in the store picker, all sharing the same slim Talons 3 body. The choice is purely cosmetic, since the hardware does not change between them.

How to Set Up the HorizonTech Talons 3

First fill takes a minute or two. Give the pod a moment to soak before you draw.

1. Open the top fill port on the pod by sliding the cap (you do not need to remove the pod from the device to do this).

2. Add your e-liquid into the 2ml pod, filling to just below the top, then seal the port securely.

3. Stand the device upright for five to ten minutes so the thick wood-pulp cotton completely saturates. Firing a dry coil will instantly ruin it.

4. Charge over USB-C if needed, then check the TFT screen for the battery level.

5. Let the coil recognition set your mode, then manually spin the fire button dial to adjust the wattage to taste. Inhale to vape!

What's in the HorizonTech Talons 3 Box

The kit includes:

• The Talons 3 device,

• One 0.2ohm Kanthal Talons pod (2ml),

• And a printed instruction manual.

This listing also comes with a free 10ml e-liquid to get you started. No extra e-liquid beyond that is supplied, so keep a spare bottle handy once it runs low.

Made for the HorizonTech Talons Pod System

The Talons 3 runs on HorizonTech Talons 3 pod cartridges, spanning 0.2ohm through 1.0ohm to cover everything from sub-ohm DTL to tight MTL. Swapping the pod changes your whole draw style without changing the device, which is the appeal of the platform.

Worth knowing: this kit uses the Talons 3 pods specifically. It does not take pods from other HorizonTech kits or any other brand's pod system. Stick to Talons 3 pods, and you are covered. Replacements sit in the HorizonTech Coils range.

About HorizonTech

HorizonTech has a habit of pushing hardware firsts, and the Talons 3 is a good example: the brand bills it as the first pod system to combine sub-ohm vaping, temperature control, and intelligent coil material recognition in one small device. That focus on putting mod-level tech into a pocket pod is what sets the Talons line apart from the usual budget kits.

The smart chip reading the coil and switching modes on its own is the sort of thing you normally only get on a full-size device, and here it sits in something that fits in a jeans pocket.

Stock Up and Save

If you are moving up from a simple starter pod or a disposable, the Talons 3 gives you room to grow into sub-ohm and temperature control without buying a full mod. Keeping a spare pod on hand means you are never stuck when a coil starts to fade.

Pirate Vapes dispatches every order the same day when it is placed before 4 pm, and all stock is TPD compliant, sold through an age-verified checkout, over-18s only.

Conclusion

The HorizonTech Talons 3 is one of the more capable pocket pod kits going, packing sub-ohm vaping, temperature control, coil recognition, and a colour screen into a 1500mAh device that still fits a pocket.

The five-resistance pod range covers MTL through to DTL, and the free 10ml e-liquid gets you vaping straight away. Browse more in the Best Refillable Pod Kits range, grab a Charging Cable if you need a spare, or head back to Pirate Vapes for the full line-up.

FAQs

Is the Talons 3 refillable?

Yes. It uses refillable 2ml Talons 3 pods you fill through a top-fill port, then swap the pod once the coil tires.

What wattage does the Talons 3 reach?

The Talons 3 adjusts from 5 to 40W. Its intelligent coil recognition automatically sets a sensible mode based on the pod fitted, and you can manually tweak the power from there by spinning the fire button dial.

What does temperature in the Talons 3 control do?

It holds the coil at a set temperature rather than firing raw power, which helps prevent dry hits and can extend pod life on the stainless steel pods.

Which pods fit the Talons 3?

HorizonTech Talons 3 pods in 0.2ohm, 0.4ohm, 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.0ohm. Lower resistances suit DTL, higher ones a tighter MTL draw.

How fast does the Talons 3 charge?

Over USB-C at 2A, a full charge takes around 40 minutes from low. The screen shows the battery level as it climbs.

Can I use nic salts in the Talons 3?

Yes. Nic salts pair best with the higher-resistance pods for a tighter draw. Freebase suits the 0.2ohm sub-ohm pod with the airflow opened up.
