As promised, we’re reviewing the second of the two new releases from Suorin called the Fero Lite Kit. This is the third pod device in the Fero brand of products from Suorin.
Having just completed our review on their Fero Box kit, which you can see here, the Suorin Fero Lite is very similar in terms of function and design with one major exception. The Fero Box is a compact box style pod kit with variable airflow, 30W max power, 1300mAh battery, Normal and Passion wattage modes and an RGB color display screen. The Fero Lite follows in the same footsteps although it’s 25W max with a 1000mAh battery but its form factor reverts back to the earlier design of the Fero Pod kit, which you can see here, of a tall slim pen style device.
Both these devices including the earlier Fero Pod kit use the same well received Fero pods range so are compatible across all 3 Fero devices.
Because the Fero Lite is a tall slim version of the Fero Box, the format of this review will be very similar to our Fero Box review but with the obvious differences.
As always we will give a quick overview covering the main points and features of the Suorin Fero Lite and then jump into the main body of the review covering everything there is to know.
Overview of the Suorin Fero Lite Pod Kit
The Suorin Fero Lite is a Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) and Restricted-Direct-To-Lung (RDL) draw activated tall pen style pod device with an adaptive power output operating up to 25W max (pod dependent). Two pre-set power modes are available; Normal and Passion which are selectible via a lever switch positioned within the small RGB light display on the front face of the Fero Lite.
In addition to this power toggle lever, an airflow slider on the reverse face of the Fero Lite controls the air intake which fine tunes your draw style. Other than this there are no selective menu’s, no on/off or fire button making this a simple to use no fuss beginner friendly vape kit.
A multi-colored RGB light display surrounding the power toggle switch, much smaller than we saw on the Fero Box, provides a visual light effect when you draw on the pod’s mouthpiece. This light also monitors the battery status and provides an indication of the 6 different safety prompts.
Powered by a slightly smaller 1000mAh capacity internal rechargeable battery, the Fero Lite is charged via the Type-C USB charging port, specified as 5V/2.0A, on the side of the Fero Lite body. Charging is pretty quick (40 minutes) from the supplied charging cable with the added bonus of having pass-thru so you can vape while it’s being charged.
The Suorin Fero Lite comes supplied with two Fero refillable side fill 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm pods with a 2ml/3ml e-liquid capacity depending on your region. Additional 0.4 ohm and 1.0 ohm Fero pods (sold separately) are also available for use with the Fero Lite.
Its design and shape is a tall slim pen style (flattened tube) device and measures 113.7mm high including the pod by 25.5mm wide and 14.4mm deep with a weight of 47.6 grams. It’s manufactured out of Aluminum Alloy giving it that solid and robust feel to it.
There are a total of 6 different colors available in the Fero Lite range. We received the “Dreamy Blue” color which you can see in the photos throughout this review.
I would like to thank Chilly at Suorin for sending us the Suorin Fero Lite kit. As always this review is completely unbiased and is my honest opinion of my findings while using and reviewing the supplied kit.

Suorin Fero Lite Packaging
The packaging is a slide out draw type box with an outer sleeve that’s white in color. Once the outer sleeve is removed, the Suorin Fero Lite device with the 0.6 ohm pod installed sits within a cardboard insert lined with plastic.
Beneath the cardboard/plastic insert are the spare 0.8 ohm pod, Type-C charging cable and lanyard in clear plastic sachets together with a user manual. The overall dimensions of the packaging box measure 140mm high x 60.5mm wide x 37mm deep.
On the front of the outer sleeve is a photo sticker of the Suorin Fero Lite. The image appears to be in the same color irrespective of the included device color. “Suorin Fero Lite” is written above the photo sticker and the lower section of the front sleeve has the nicotine warning message.
The reverse side of the outer sleeve details the “Contents”, “Manufacturer’s Details”, “CE/Kitemark” logo’s, the relevant safety warnings, a “Scratch Me” authentication label and a bar code sticker with the color of the included device.
The left side of the outer sleeve highlights “Suorin” and a boxed “Not for sale to minors” statement. The right side of the outer sleeve has a boxed statement “This product does not contain tobacco. This product is not for sale to persons under 21”.
Preparing to Use the Suorin Fero Lite Kit
When you first unpack your Suorin Fero Lite, it comes pre-fitted with the Fero 0.6 ohm pod. Before you can use your device, remove the pod from the Suorin Fero Lite pod recess and remove the white protective sticker from the base plate of the coil.
The Suorin Fero Lite also has a clear film that protects the wrap around smoked black RGB display and airflow lever mid-section. Remove this as well as it does become untidy during use.
Unplug the black silicone rubber e-liquid bung on the side edge of the Suorin Fero pod, fill with e-liquid, refit the rubber bung and wait for 10-15 minutes so the e-liquid fully saturates the wick in the coil.
Reinsert the Fero pod. The Fero Lite doesn’t have an on/off button as it’s powered all the time so once the pod is fitted you’re ready to vape. I would suggest initially setting the power level toggle switch to the “Normal” mode and taking a few quick draws to initially bed the new pod in first.
Suorin Fero Lite Kit Design and Appearance
Suorin Fero Lite Device (battery/body)
The Suorin Fero Lite is constructed out of aluminium alloy giving it a lightweight but robust quality feel and measures 88.75mm tall (excluding the pod), 25.5mm wide by 14.4mm deep and weighs in at 39.3 grams. When the pod is attached, the overall height is 113.7mm with the combined weight being 47.6 grams.
It’s a tall slim pen style sized MTL and RDL style draw activated device and capable of providing up to 25W of power. The Fero Lite auto detects the resistance of the coil fitted in the attached pod being used and selects the optimum wattage for that pod.
In addition to this fixed wattage, a power toggle switch positioned within the RGB light display can be set to either Normal or Passion mode which further increases the wattage for an enhanced vape.
- 0.6 ohm Pod = 18W Normal Mode and 23W Passion Mode
- 0.8 ohm Pod = 12W Normal Mode and 16W Passion Mode
Powered by a 1000mAh capacity internal rechargeable battery, it’s recharged via the Type-C USB charging port on the side of the Suorin Fero lite specified as 5V/2A. Charging times is pretty quick and will fully charge the Suorin Fero Lite in approximately 40 minutes with the added benefit that a pass-thru function allows you to vape while it’s being charged.
We’ve covered the RGB light charging display and times in more detail in the How do I Charge the Suorin Fero Lite section of this review.
The Suorin Fero Lite has a finely detailed smooth surface colored finish with an off-set wrap-around smoked black mid-section. This houses the RGB multi-colored 8.5mm by 3.5mm display with the power toggle switch within the display on the front flat face. On the reverse side is a variable airflow control slider lever to fine tune your draw style.
This RGB display will illuminate when the pod is removed or inserted, when you draw on the pod mouthpiece, while it’s being charged and when it displays any of the safety prompts. There are no numerical readings on this display as it’s tiny so it doesn’t have any indication of the wattage level, pod resistance or puff counter.
Battery status is provided by the RGB display illuminating in one of three colors when the pod is inserted or removed and after you draw on the Fero pod mouthpiece as follows:
- Red = <30%
- Blue = 30% – 70%
- Green = >70%
We’ve covered the RGB light screen functions in more detail in the Functionality section of this review.
The variable airflow control lever on the back of the Fero Lite will adjust between closed in the upward position to open in the downward position where you can select 1, 2 or 3 holes to tailor your draw. The resistance of the lever is pretty tight so shouldn’t move on its own.
On the top of the Suorin Fero Lite is the 13mm deep recessed oval opening for the pod to be located which can be fitted either way round. Within the pod recess are two gold plated spring loaded coil contact pins, two rectangular bar magnets that line up with the pod and an airflow intake chamber that leads through to the airflow slider lever.
Strangely enough I couldn’t see an auto draw sensor in the pod recess so I’m guessing it must sit below the air intake chamber.
The bottom of the Suorin Fero Lite is flat so will stand upright but because of the small surface area and the height of the Fero Lite it’s not that stable. There are also a row of 3 small holes in the base to provide an air escape if the battery gets too hot and decides to vent.
Suorin’s branding is reasonably discrete with the brand name “Suorin” and the “CE” marks screen printed on one side and “Suorin Fero Lite” screen printed on the other side of the casing.
The Suorin Fero Lite also ensures a multitude of safety features are maintained, such as:
- Overtime protection (6 seconds)
- Low battery protection (3.2V)
- Short circuit protection (<0.4 ohms)
- Over temperature protection
- Overcharge protection
- Output overcurrent protection
There are a total of 6 different colors available in the Suorin Fero Lite range, these include:
- Curious Green
- Inspired Purple
- Dreamy Blue
- Space Grey
- Before Daybreak
- Fearless Pink
We received the Dreamy Blue to test which you can see throughout this review.
Suorin Fero Pods
These Suorin Fero side fill pods, including a newly introduced 0.4 ohm pod, use what Suorin call BPC (Boost, Pure, Clean) heating technology to enhance the flavor and increase the purity of your vape experience. They also stipulate zero leakage technology (AAA) by using an air tight silicone cap, assured high polymer cotton and an airtight silicone seal.
Suorin specify each pod comes with a longer lifespan coil allowing you to refill up to 10 times (30ml of e-liquid). Having used the 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm Fero pods in the earlier Fero Pod kit, I can confirm this figure is very conservative and in some cases I’ve cycled over 100ml of e-liquid through them before the flavor drops off.
Two Suorin Fero pods; 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm are included in the Suorin Fero Lite kit. They have a 2ml (TPD) / 3ml (standard) e-liquid capacity and have side fill ports so have to be removed from the device in order to fill. They come with fixed integrated coils so are not replaceable; once the coil degrades the whole pod is replaced.
When first installing your pod, make sure you remove the white sticker from the base of the pod. The pre-fitted pod come shipped with this protector so they can’t be accidentally fired before e-liquid has been added.
Each of these pods are manufactured out of slightly tinted (smoked) lightweight PCTG material. The tint is pretty clear making it easy to see the level of e-liquid through the pod. The mouthpiece is a duckbill shape with a 9mm oval opening tapering to a 4mm circular cut out to cater for the MTL/RDL vape styles.
Its dimensions are 38.2mm tall by 25,5mm wide and 14.5mm deep and the weight of the pod is 8.2 grams. This was measured on the 3ml version of pod, the 2ml may be slightly smaller in height.
The Suorin Fero pod side fill port is positioned on the side edge of the pod, concealed beneath a flush fitting black silicone rubber stopper. The words “Open” are branded into the rubber with a directional arrow depicting which end of the stopper is lifted to open.
A word of warning though, the rubber flap is quite thin so do take care when opening the stopper as it may break if you’re too heavy handed. As these pods are disposable i.e. have a limited life it’s not really a problem.
When the plug is opened, the other end of the silicone rubber flap will remain attached to the pod so it won’t get lost. The e-liquid fill port oval hole is a reasonable size measuring 5mm so is big enough to accept short stubby e-liquid tip bottles.
On the underside of the pods are 2 small diagonally opposed air intake holes, two circular coil contact plates and two rectangular bar magnets on the base of the pod that locate with the magnets in the pod recess of the Suorin Fero Lite device. The pods have a symmetrical oval base so can be fitted either way round.
Branding on these pods has “Suorin” and the “CE” markings screen printed on one side of the pod. There is a “Min” e-liquid level line on the other side and the “Coil Resistance” printed on the base of the pod.
Inserting the pod is straight-forward enough, simply place the pod to the Suorin Fero Lite body recessed pod opening and it will slide into the recess and be held in place by the magnets. The pod is a loose fit and does move within the pod recess. To removing the pod just pull on the pod body and it will come away.
When the pod is inserted into the Suorin Fero Lite body, or removed, the RGB light display will briefly illuminate in the color corresponding to the remaining charge left in the battery.
Suorin Fero Lite Lanyard
The Suorin Fero Lite comes with a lanyard so thought I’d better try it.
It’s a nice colorful looking lanyard with a silicone stretchy rubber loop that attaches around the Suorin Fero Lite body. I did use it for a couple of days and didn’t have any issues with it. This lanyard is the same one that’s used on the Fero Pod kit.
I found it easier having the loop attached just below the airflow slider and toggle switch so it rested around my neck in a horizontal position.
It’s good that Suorin have included one in the kit and yes it does work. Personally I don’t like things hanging around my neck but nevertheless it’s nice to have that option if you desire.
Suorin Fero Lite Functionality
The Suorin Fero Lite pod kit is pretty simple and straightforward to use. It doesn’t have any menu options to worry about, no fire button as it’s draw activated and no on/off button. What you do have is a step-less variable airflow control lever and a “Normal” and “Passion” power toggle switch to select two pre-set power levels.
It’s an auto draw device so firing is activated by drawing on the pod. Quite simply all that’s required is ensuring your Fero Lite is charged, you’ve positioned the airflow lever and power toggle switch to the type of draw you want and the Fero pod contains e-liquid.
When using the Fero Lite pod kit it will automatically detect the coil resistance in the pod you’ve fitted and set the power level (wattage) accordingly. The maximum wattage the Fero Lite is capable of providing is up to 25W. The two pre-set power levels for each pod type alter the power level as follows:
| Pod Resistance | Normal Mode | Passion Mode |
| 0.4 ohm Fero Pod | 24W | 25W |
| 0.6 ohm Fero Pod | 18W | 23W |
| 0.8 ohm Fero Pod | 12W | 16W |
| 1.0 ohm Fero Pod | 10W | 14W |
For reference, we’ve included the 0.4 ohm and the 1.0 ohm Fero pods (sold separately) in the above chart.
The user interface is a 8.5mm by 3.5mm RGB multi-colored display screen that illuminates when you draw on the pod mouthpiece, when you insert or remove the pod and when it’s being charged. This display provides you with the remaining battery charge status and will flash with different sequences for the safety notifications and prompts.
Battery Status
When using the Suorin Fero Lite, the current discharge status of the battery is displayed on the RGB light screen each time you insert or remove the pod in the color corresponding to the remaining battery charge. It will also illuminate and switch to this color 5 seconds after you’ve drawn on the mouthpiece for a further 1 second.
- Red = <30%
- Blue = 30% – 70%
- Green = >70%
When the battery is depleted of its charge and reaches the low battery cut-off (3.2V), the RGB light screen will flash red 3 times and the device will stop working.
At this stage you will need to charge the Suorin Fero Lite. We’ve covered this charging times and charging screen display in the How to Charge section of this review.
Pre-Set Wattage Mode
Two pre-set power levels are available and alter the wattage between “Normal” and “Passion” by moving the power toggle switch to the left or right position. This is the same function we saw on the Fero Box.
Moving the switch to the left puts it in “Normal” mode which is identified by a very small raised “I” numeral under the toggle switch. Moving it to the right switches it to “Passion” mode which is identified by “II” under the switch.
Prompts and Safety Indications
A visual indication of color/flashes on the RGB light screen display will change for each of the included prompts and safety features as detailed below:
| While Charging: | RGB light cycles in the battery status color (Red/Blue/Green) |
| Full Charge: | RGB light turns static Green and remains illuminated |
| While Vaping: | RGB light cycles in multiple colors then shows battery color |
| Low Voltage Protection: | RGB light flashes Red 3 times |
| Abnormal Pod Status: | RGB light flashes Red 4 times |
| Over-Time Protection: | RGB light flashes Red 2 times |
| Over-Heat Protection: | RGB light flashes Red 5 times |
| Pod Inserted: | RGB light illuminates for 5 seconds in the battery color |
| Pod Removed: | RGB light illuminates for 5 seconds in the battery color |
RGB Light Display Timeout
During use, the RGB display will illuminate each time you draw on the pod mouthpiece with a scrolling multi-color effect and will remain illuminated for 5 seconds. After this time the display will switch to a solid color for a further 1 second. This solid color relates to the current discharge status of the battery.
Airflow Control
The Suorin Fero Lite incorporates adjustable airflow control using a slider lever on the reverse side of the casing within the smoked black 3/4 width inlay panel. Moving the slider upwards closes off the airflow producing a tight MTL style draw. Moving the slider downwards opens the airflow for a RDL/DTL draw.
This slider is step-less and has 3 different size holes so you can control the amount of air intake you want.
Suorin Fero Lite Performance
Two Suorin Fero pods are supplied with the Suorin Fero Lite kit, a 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm, both Kanthal mesh side fill. They have integrated coils which are non-replaceable so one the coil degrades the pod is disposed of. Suorin specify these pods can consume approximately 30ml of e-liquid use before the performance drops off.
I’ve used the Fero pods for several months now in the earlier Fero Pod kit and when reviewing the Fero Box kit and they far exceeded this 30ml volume.
As always, when filling the pod for the first time, do leave it to stand for 10-15 minutes before you use it to allow the e-liquid to fully saturate the wicking material.
Because of the fairly small wicking ports in each of the coils, I would recommend not using a high VG e-liquid.
Suorin Fero 0.6 Ohm Pod (pre-installed)
With the Fero Lite set to Normal mode, the wattage is fixed and set to 18W. Switching it to Passion mode increases the wattage to 23W.
After a few quick very short draws to bed the new pod in, my normal draw of 2 seconds produced very dense vapor with the flavor of my e-liquid coming through very nicely. Airflow wide open resulted in a nice slightly restricted Direct-To-Lung (DTL) draw whereas shutting the airflow off tightened the draw but muted the flavor and vapor a little too much for me.
Reducing the airflow to midway restricted the airflow to a more normal RDL draw with more than adequate flavor and vapor. With the airflow just off closed tightened the draw to an MTL style draw. Closing the airflow off fully was too tight a draw and muted the flavor and vapor while making the vapor too warm.
Switching from Normal to Passion mode only appeared to alter the power level slightly. Lowering the normal mode to increase the change in power levels between the two would have been better.
Suorin Fero 0.8 Ohm Pod
With the Fero Lite set to Normal mode, the wattage is fixed and set to 12W. Switching it to Passion mode increases the wattage to 16W.
After a few quick very short draws to bed the new pod in, a 2 second draw produced quite dense vapor with again the flavor of my e-liquid coming through nicely. Airflow wide open resulted in a RDL draw whereas shutting the airflow completely was again too tight a draw.
Altering the airflow to midway improved the air intake giving an airy MTL draw and a restricted Direct-To-Lung (RDL) draw. With the airflow just off closed tightened the draw to a perfectly tight MTL style draw.
Again switching between the two power modes was quite difficult to tell the difference between the two modes.
Any Leaks?
Throughout my time using both the pods supplied with the Suorin Fero Lite kit there were no e-liquid leaks or seepage and no sign of any condensation. However, despite this I always recommend if you’re not using the device, or any other device for that matter, for a day or two and the pod is still connected, e-liquid seepage WILL eventually occur.
This is not a criticism of the Suorin Fero pods in any way, it’s just my experience when using any pod device.
Airflow
The airflow slider adjustment worked effortlessly and has a good resistive feel to the slider. Irrespective of which pod I was using, closing the airflow off completely restricted the air intake too much. Altering the airflow between open and just off closed was perfect for all vaping styles.
However, when the airflow is fully open, especially when using the 0.8 ohm pod, the auto draw can become unresponsive at times which is a pain as there is no fire button.
Auto Draw
The auto draw was a little hit and miss for me especially when the airflow slider was set to the fully open position when using the 0.8 ohm pod. We found this to be a similar issue when using the Fero Box. You can draw on the mouthpiece and it works fine but will then suddenly stop working for the next half dozen draws.
When the 0.6 ohm pod is fitted with the airflow slider fully open, the auto draw is responsive but does require a harder draw.
Performance Summary
Both the 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm pods were very impressive. Flavor and vapor, including the throat hit from them was really good. The life of the pods far exceeds the 30ml life span specified by Suorin.
The draw was smooth and pretty quiet with no gurgling. The throat hit from 3-6mg freebase nicotine was very good and the airflow control on the Suorin Fero Lite is very effective. Auto draw lets the overall performance down a bit and I would have liked a noticeable difference between the two power settings.
Suorin Fero Lite Battery Performance
The Suorin Fero Lite is powered by a rechargeable 1000mAh internal battery which is a decent capacity for a pod mod of this size. Charging time takes approximately 40 minutes to fully charge via the on board Type-C USB port with the supplied cable when using a power source of 2A.
On average I was achieving a full day’s vaping irrespective of which of the included pods I used. The different color RGB battery status lights gave an accurate indication of the remaining battery level. I was pleased to see that once the RGB light turns red, you still have a good couple of hours vaping time before the battery cut out.
Vaping times will vary depending on the resistance of pod you’re using, the wattage toggle position you’ve set and your vaping style i.e. duration and frequency of your draw.
When the battery reaches its low voltage cut-off point, the RGB light display will flash red 3 times. At this point you will no longer be able to vape and will have to charge your Suorin Fero Lite.
We’ve covered the charging process and what to expect in How do I Charge the Suorin Fero Lite section. The Suorin Fero Lite, despite only taking a short time to fully charge, does has pass-thru so you are able to vape while it’s being charged.
The intensity of the draw remains the same throughout the discharge cycle of the battery. It doesn’t diminish as the battery drains and remained the same up to the point when the battery cut out.
How do I Fill the Suorin Fero Pod?
These Suorin Fero pods are a side fill design and have to be removed from the Suorin Fero Lite body in order to fill with e-liquid. There is a “Min” e-liquid level mark on the pod but is not visible unless you remove the pod. When the pod if fitted, as long as you can see you’re e-liquid in the bottom of the pod it’s ok. Never let the level fall too low otherwise you will destroy the pod and will have to replace it.
The fill port is located on one side of the pod casing and is concealed behind a black silicon rubber flap. A small arrow next to the “Open” branded into the rubber stopper highlights which end of the rubber stopper lifts away to gain access to the fill port.
This silicone rubber flap is attached to the pod by a small rubber pin so there’s no chance of it getting lost. It can be swivelled side-wards when you’re filling to give a little more free room. Because the fill port opening is pretty wide (5mm), it’ll accept those larger e-liquid/shortfill bottle tips.
Pull open the flap and insert your e-liquid bottle tip into the opening. Tilt the pod on its side to aid filling and to get the maximum amount of e-liquid into the pod. Once filled, re-insert the silicon rubber flap making sure the fill port is securely re-seated.
Refit the Fero pod into the Fero Lite pod recess and you’re ready to vape again. As you insert the Fero pod the RGB light display will briefly illuminate in either red, blue or green depending on the current discharge status of your battery.
Quick Tip: If you are filling the pod for the first time, once filled, leave to stand for approx. 10-15 minutes before you start to vape. This will help saturate the wick fully in e-liquid and help prolong the life of the coil/pod.
When and How do I Change the Suorin Fero Pod?
Because both of the included Suorin Fero pods have fixed non replaceable coils, when the coil starts to degrade after a few weeks of use, the pod will need to be discarded and a new pod fitted. Suorin state these pods have a lifespan of 30ml of e-liquid that can be passed through the pods before the flavor becomes muted.
In my time using the Suorin Fero pods in the Fero Lite and the Fero Box devices I found I was exceeding this limit by quite a margin.
I’ve used the same 0.4 ohm, 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm pods in both devices and haven’t had to replace any of the pods yet with the following e-liquid volumes passed through them.
- 0.4 ohm Fero Pod = 60ml
- 0.6 ohm Fero Pod = 90ml
- 0.8 ohm Fero pod = 40ml
An indication of the coil degrading will show by either a loss of flavor and/or a lack of vapor or in worse case a burnt taste. Equally the coil could fail going open or short circuit. Either way, when this happens discard the pod and fit a new one.
Pull the pod away from the Suorin Fero Lite battery/body. Unfortunately if you still have e-liquid in the pod, this will have to be discarded as well as it will have been tainted by the burnt out coil.
When fitting a new pod, follow the procedure for How do I Fill the Pod. As you insert the pod into the Suorin Fero Lite body, the RGB light display will briefly illuminate in the color of the remaining battery charge.
How do I Charge the Suorin Fero Lite?
Because the Suorin Fero Lite has an internal battery, charging is carried out using the USB to Type-C charging cable (supplied in the kit). Simply connect the cable into the Type-C port on the side of the Suorin Fero Lite body and the other end into a suitable USB power source. The specified charging circuit of the Suorin Fero Lite is 5V/2.0A and will fully charge the device in approximately 40 minutes.
While you’re using the Suorin Fero Lite, once the battery runs out of charge and reaches its low voltage cut-off (3.2V), the RGB light display will flash red 3 times. At this point you will have to place the Suorin Fero Lite on charge.
When the Suorin Fero Lite is placed on charge, the RGB light display illuminates and cycles in the color Red. After 15 minutes, the RGB light display switches to a cycling Blue screen. A further 17 minutes later it will change to a Green cycling screen and then turn static green after another 9 minutes.
The RGB display remains illuminated throughout the entire charging cycle (love it!). Full charge is reached when the RGB light display turns static green. This screen will remain illuminated until the charging cable is removed.
- Red cycling screen = 15 minutes
- Blue cycling screen = A further 17 minutes
- Green cycling screen = A further 9 minutes
- Full charge (static Green) = 39 minutes
Because the Suorin Fero Lite has pass-through you can vape while it’s being charged but this will increase the charge time.
I did observe while the Suorin Fero Lite was on charge the case does gets warm to the touch. While this is normal with a 2A charging circuit, I strongly advise to always charge this, and any other device for that matter, on a non-flammable surface.
As with any vape device, NEVER leave it unattended whilst charging and don’t charge it overnight.
Suorin Fero Lite Pod Kit Price
The Suorin Fero Lite kit has only just been released and at the time of writing only a few retailers have these in stock. The average cost I’ve seen these being sold for are around £20-£25/$20-$25.
For a good performing pod kit with two included pods and a lanyard then this is a good choice to purchase.

Suorin Fero Lite Pod Kit Review Summary
The Suorin Fero Lite kit is a good cost effective addition to the Fero range of devices. Functionality is limited but it’s a beginner friendly device so you can’t expect anything more. The inclusion of airflow control works really well and there is a choice of two power modes.
Battery capacity is good and the accurate display of the battery status works well. Pass-thru function is always great to have even though the charging time is very quick. The charging display is visible throughout the charge cycle which is a great bonus for me.
Performance from the Suorin Fero pods continues to deliver with very good flavor and dense vapor. Two different Fero pods (0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm) are included in the Fero Lite kit together with a lanyard for those of you that like using them.
The overall performance for me was let down due to the draw activation not firing every time when the airflow is fully open which was a shame as there is no fire button on this model. The pods don’t fit tightly in the pod recess and I would have liked a bigger power difference between the “Normal” and “Passion” modes.
Despite these minor niggles, the Suorin Fero Lite is a stylish looking pod device, has 25W max output power and gives great results from the two Fero pods.
For your reference, I’ve linked all the Suorin vape kits we’ve reviewed to date.
