Everything you need to run an Airscream Pro LITE properly — from first charge to replacing the coil, and the one step that decides whether your first pod tastes right.
What's in the box
- The Pro LITE battery
- A refillable pod with a coil fitted
- A USB-C charging cable
No e-liquid — the device ships empty. Most people start with 313 AirsPops 1.9%; go to 4.0% if you're coming straight off cigarettes.
1. Charge it first
Charge to full before the first use. The light goes out when it's done. A normal phone charger or a laptop port is ideal — avoid fast-charge bricks, which push more current than a small pod battery needs.
2. Fill the pod
- Pull the pod straight up out of the battery. It's held magnetically.
- Open the silicone fill plug on the side.
- Fill slowly, stopping just below the max line — the pod needs an air gap to work.
- Press the plug back in until it sits flush.
3. Prime the coil — don't skip this
Stand the filled pod upright for 5 to 10 minutes before the first draw. The wick has to soak. Vaping a dry coil burns it in seconds and a burnt coil cannot be recovered — you replace it.
This single step is behind most "my new device tastes burnt" complaints. If it's already happened, see fixing a burnt taste.
4. Fit the pod and vape
Push the pod in until it clicks. The Pro LITE is draw-activated — no button, just inhale. Take a steady, gentle draw rather than a sharp pull; hard draws flood the coil and cause gurgling.
5. Pods and coils
The Pro LITE shares its consumables with the Pro II, so anything below fits either device:
- Refillable Pod 2-Pack — complete pod, coil included
- Coil 2-Pack — coil only, when the pod is still good
A coil lasts roughly one to two weeks of regular use. Replace it when the flavour dulls, the vapour thins, or a fresh fill still tastes scorched.
Keeping it working
- Never run it dry. Refill once the liquid drops below the coil window — that is what kills coils.
- Wipe the contacts with a dry cotton bud now and then; condensation there causes misfires.
- Store it upright. On its side, liquid seeps into the airway and you get gurgling or leaks.
- Don't run the battery flat repeatedly — deep discharges shorten its life.
Troubleshooting
- No vapour — reseat the pod, then clean the contacts. If there's no light on a draw, charge it.
- Burnt taste — the coil is spent or was never primed. Replace it.
- Gurgling or leaking — usually overfilling or side-storage. Empty, wipe the airway, refill to just under the line.
- Weak flavour — coil near end of life, or a liquid too thin for the coil.
Pro LITE or Pro II?
They take the same pods and coils, so it comes down to size and battery: the Pro II is larger with more capacity, the Pro LITE is lighter and more discreet. Neither is a downgrade on flavour. Full breakdown in Pro vs Pro II vs Pro LITE.
