HorizonTech Talons II Starter Kit

HorizonTech Talons II Starter Kit

Adjustable power up to 32W from a 1200mAh built-in battery, with a 0.96" TFT colour screen and refillable 2ml pods that cover MTL, RDL, and DTL in one device. The HorizonTech Talons II runs on Horizon's Talons pod cartridges, charges over USB-C, and reads your fitted pod automatically to set a sensible wattage.

It suits vapers stepping up from disposables who want proper control without a mod-sized learning curve, and it has become a popular starter pick at Pirate Vapes for that reason. 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:

• Three vaping styles, one kit. A tight 1.0ohm MTL draw for ex-smokers, a balanced 0.6ohm for the middle ground, or a lower resistance opened right up for airier RDL and DTL. Few pod kits at this price stretch that far.

• Colour TFT screen shows wattage, battery, and puff data at a glance.

• Coil detection sets the wattage for you, so setup is genuinely quick.

• 1200mAh with USB-C covers most vapers through a day.

• Refillable 2ml pods mean you pour in whatever e-liquid you like rather than buying prefilled every time.

HorizonTech Talons II Features

0.96" TFT Colour Screen

The 0.96" TFT display is a step up from the single LED you get on most budget pods. It shows wattage, battery level, and puff count clearly, and the colour panel makes it easy to read at a glance. Small thing, but it makes managing the 1200mAh battery far less of a guessing game.

0.4Ω to 1.0Ω Pod Range

That is the real appeal of the Talons II. With the Horizon Talons pods spanning 0.4ohm to 1.0ohm, you can run a tight cigarette-style MTL inhale on the higher resistances or open the airflow and drop lower for a warmer RDL pull. The stepless airflow slider lets you land anywhere in between.

Automatic Coil Detection

Fit a pod, and the device recognises the resistance, then automatically sets a sensible starting wattage to suit it. You can easily override this by spinning the fire button dial, but for anyone who just wants to vape, it takes the guesswork out of the equation. Pair it with a bottle from the 10ml e-liquids range and you are set in seconds.

Dual Activation and Wattage Dial

The Talons II fires two ways: inhale to activate it automatically, or use the fire button if you prefer a deliberate press. But that button also doubles as your wattage control. Simply spin the dial around the button to quickly adjust your power up or down without diving into any digital menus. Triple-press it to lock or unlock the button, while auto-draw stays available throughout.

1200mAh Battery and Compact Design

A 1200mAh pod this size slips into a pocket or bag without weighing you down, and the six colourways mean it does not look like every other black slab on the shelf. A solid everyday carry from the MTL Vape Kits side of things that can also handle a looser pull when you want one.

How to Set Up the HorizonTech Talons II

First fill takes a minute or two. Let the pod soak before you draw.

1. Open the top fill port on the pod (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 cotton completely saturates. Firing a dry coil will instantly ruin it.

4. Charge over USB-C if the battery is low, checking the TFT screen for the level.

5. Let the coil detection set your starting wattage, or manually spin the fire button dial to adjust it. Inhale to vape!

What's in the HorizonTech Talons II Box

The kit includes:

• The Talons II device,

• One 0.6ohm Talons pod,

• A USB-C charging cable,

• And the printed user guide.

As a bonus, Pirate Vapes includes a free 10ml e-liquid with this kit (selected at checkout) so you can start vaping the moment it arrives. (Note: The kit only comes with one pod, so keeping a spare pack on hand is highly recommended).

Made for the Horizon Talons Pod System

The Talons II runs on Horizon Talons pod cartridges, with resistances from 0.4ohm through 1.0ohm to cover everything from tight MTL to looser RDL. That gives you room to change your draw style later just by swapping the pod, not the device.

One thing to note: this kit is not compatible with the 0.2ohm Talons pod, and it does not take pods from other HorizonTech kits or any other brand. Stick to standard Talons pods, and you are covered. You can browse the wider HorizonTech Coils range for replacements.

About HorizonTech

HorizonTech earned its reputation on flavour, most famously through the Falcon tanks and their mesh coil work. The Talons line brings that flavour focus into a compact refillable pod format, using the brand's wood pulp blend cotton in the coil to squeeze detail out of both nic salts and freebase e-liquid.

The Talons II refines the format with coil detection and a colour screen, aimed at vapers who want the taste HorizonTech is known for in something small enough to pocket.

Stock Up and Save

A refillable kit like this pays for itself over time. Filling your own 2ml pods works out cheaper than repeat-buying prefilled devices, and a spare pod means you are never stuck when a coil starts to fade.

Pirate Vapes keeps orders moving with same-day dispatch before 4 pm, and everything ships TPD-compliant through an age-verified checkout, over-18s only.

Conclusion

The HorizonTech Talons II is a genuinely flexible starter kit that punches above its price, with a colour screen, coil detection, and pods that cover MTL, RDL, and DTL in a pocket-sized body.

The 1200mAh battery and USB-C charging make it easy to live with day to day, and the free 10ml e-liquid gets you started straight away.

FAQs

Is the Talons II refillable?

Yes. It uses 2ml Talons pods you fill yourself, then swap the pod once the coil tires. No prefilled cartridges needed.

What wattage does the Talons II run at?

The Talons II adjusts up to 32W. Its coil detection sets a starting wattage based on the pod resistance you fit, and you can manually adjust it from there by spinning the fire button dial.

Which coils can I use with the Talons II?

Horizon Talons pods in 0.4ohm, 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.0ohm. Higher resistances give a tighter MTL draw, lower ones an airier RDL pull.

Can I use nic salts in the Talons II?

Yes. Nic salts pair best with the higher-resistance pods for a tighter draw. Freebase and higher-VG blends suit the lower resistances with the airflow opened.

Does any other pod fit in the Talons II?

No. Only Horizon Talons pods work, and the 0.2ohm option is not supported. Other brands' pods are not compatible.

How do I lock the Talons II’s button?

Press the fire button three times to lock or unlock it. Auto-draw keeps working whether the button is locked or not.
