There’s a quiet revolution happening in the world of portable vaping. While the industry has swung wildly between gigantic, screen-covered brick mods and ultra-minimalist disposables, a small but dedicated community has been waiting for something else: precision. Enter the Pandora R210 New.
If the name sounds familiar, it should. The original Pandora R210 was a cult classic—known for its restrictive direct-to-lung (RDL) draw, exceptional flavor, and a build quality that felt more like a Swiss watch than a vape tank. But the market moved on. Coils became harder to find. Newer, flashier devices took the spotlight.
Now, in 2026, Pandora has returned. But this isn’t a simple re-release. The R210 New is a ground-up rebuild of an icon. I’ve spent two weeks with it, testing everything from coil longevity to leak resistance. Here’s my full, unfiltered review.
Installers will appreciate the updated 1-Wire interface, which allows for easier connection of additional sensors (shock, tilt, microwave) without running complex looms through the firewall.
The battery may have a small charge from the factory, but it is recommended to charge it fully before first use.
Gone is the cheap cardboard of the original. The R210 New arrives in a matte-black, magnetic flip box that feels premium before you even see the device. Inside, you’ll find:
The first thing you’ll notice is the weight. At 128g, it’s dense but not heavy. The chassis is now machined from a single block of aluminum-zinc alloy, with a soft-touch coating that resists fingerprints. The original R210 had a sharp, boxy feel. The “New” version features slightly rounded edges and a contoured grip that fits naturally in the hand.
One of the most significant upgrades is the advanced UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) ready architecture and improved CAN bus logic. The R210 NEW uses time-of-flight distance measurement, making it virtually impossible for thieves to extend the signal of your key fob using a relay box.
The Pandora R210 NEW is ideal for owners of high-risk vehicles (Lexus, Toyota, Land Rover, Kia, Hyundai) that are frequently targeted by CAN-injection thefts. It is also a top choice for luxury daily drivers who want the convenience of hands-free smartphone entry without relying on the insecure factory keyless system.

Cons:
Upon the first boot, the device will launch the Android Setup Wizard.
