Business is not tobacco: TOP 5 starter kits for vaping

Eleaf Electronics Co is a Chinese manufacturer of electronic cigarettes since 2011. The company's products are quite popular and designed to satisfy the tastes of the general consumer. Eleaf iCare 2 Kit is the second, improved generation of a set for novice vapers.

The shape of the cigarette is a bit like a whistle. Available in 6 colours: grey, black, red, white, light green and gold. Compact dimensions of 31x13x86 mm allow you to comfortably hold the device in the palm of your hand. The case is made of matte plastic, pleasant to the touch. Rubberized inserts make the structure strong and reliable.

In iCare2, they abandoned the tightening sensor, which worked even from the wind, and used a button. Now, to turn on the device, you need to press the button 5 times for 2 seconds, and to take a puff, press and hold the button while you are tightening. By the way, if the duration of the puff is more than 15 seconds (this is what lungs you need to have!), the overheating protection will work and the device will turn off. The button is located quite conveniently, it is easy to press with your thumb.

The power of the device is only 15 watts, it generates a little steam compared to boxmodes, and its taste is much weaker, so it is better to steam more flavored liquids with an equal ratio of propylene glycol and glycerin.

The tank capacity of 2 mL with this capacity is enough for 200 – 250 puffs. In terms of cigarettes, it's about a pack and a half. The tank is made of transparent plastic, there is a window for visual control of the liquid level in the housing under it. The mouthpiece is wide, comfortable, easy to remove and clean.

Eleaf iCare2 Kit essentially consists of 2 parts: the atomizer is a tank with a mouthpiece and an evaporator and the main body, which houses a non—removable battery. The evaporator is not serviced, as it wears out, it should be replaced with a new one. There is a spare in the kit, so you won't have to buy more for a long time. At the rate of 100-150 puffs per day, the evaporator should be replaced approximately once a month. The disadvantage of this process is the need to disassemble the tank, remove the bottom cover, the fastenings of which are plastic and unreliable.

Liquid is poured into the tank through two holes in the upper part, access to which opens after removing the mouthpiece. It is not necessary to remove the refueling tank itself, but you can if you need to wash it.

The battery capacity of the 650W mod is enough on average for half a day of soaring. A 4-colour display will help determine how much is left before full discharge. Charging is performed via a standard USB port.

Eleaf iCare 2 Kit pleases almost everything: compactness, ease of maintenance, price. Not everyone will like the battery capacity, but given the size of the device and the ease of charging (power bank to help), it should not be considered a big inconvenience.

Eleaf iCare 2 Kit is a simple and profitable solution to quit smoking.

Updated version of "egoshka" from the Joyetech company, it was created for even more fun for novice vapers. Loved by many, the all-in-one system is easy to use and allows you to soar, as they say, right out of the box.

The design of the eGo AIO model, compared to its predecessor Joyetech eGo AIO D22 Kit , turned out nicer, more convenient and more practical. The window has become larger, and the stainless steel case has acquired a longer, narrower shape measuring 19x118 mm.

Caution: the glass in the window is not replaceable, so if it breaks, you will have to buy a new device.

The manufacturer offers 5 colour options: ivory with red or black, grey-black, black and polished steel. The coating, to tell the truth, is not the most resistant, over time the paint will climb.

The mouthpiece of the "drip tip" type is not through, but with a twist, this protects against the possible ingress of liquid into the mouth. On the other hand, such a design does not fully reveal the taste of the liquid. Therefore, there is also a regular straight mouthpiece in the kit. With it, the taste of steam is more saturated. There is a dot indication on the tightening power adjustment ring, when the points coincide, the thrust is maximum, turning the ring in any direction makes the tightening tighter. The ring is not fixed in any way and can change its position in case of accidental contact, so it does not interfere with checking the setting periodically.

The tank has a capacity of 2 mL, and at the power output of the device — 28 Watts, one of its refills will be enough for about 150 puffs. It is better to pour the liquid up to the middle of the window, otherwise, the evaporator will displace the rest, and the liquid will flow out. The atomizer cover has protection from children, so you can be calm for the health of little fidgets, they will not get to the liquid.

Two evaporators are supplied with the device, and when you have to change the second one, you can put any branded one from Joyetech, they all fit and fit into the tank.

The liquid container is not removable, so it is somewhat problematic to wash it. Otherwise, it is convenient and pleasant to use the device.

The battery is traditionally charged from USB, and has a capacity of 1500 mA, which is quite a lot for such a compact device and is enough for a day of intensive vaping or 150-200 puffs. As with all "egos", it is not removable.

The tank illumination deserves special attention. It has 8 colours (green, red, purple, yellow, white, light blue, yellow, blue) that light up every time the button is pressed. Beautiful and spectacular, especially in the dark, but on the other hand, it affects the battery life.

If the backlight interferes, you can turn it off.

Joyetech eGo AIO Kit is almost an perfect vape for a beginner, simple, convenient, cute, and most importantly, cheap. Just for $20.

The starter kit with the index "S" from the Chinese brand Eleaf has replaced the popular model Eleaf iJust 2 Kit . All minor shortcomings of the predecessor were taken into account and corrected in the design of the redesigned electronic cigarette.

First of all, the changes affected the atomizer, which became collapsible and received support for the top filling of the tank with a capacity of 4 mL. The collapsible design makes it easy to replace damaged glass or install any other mouthpiece with a 510 connector. The degree of adjustment of the blowing is implemented in a standard way — with the help of a removable translucent silicone ring covering two wide holes.

The evaporators of the previous series are compatible with Eleaf iJust S. "Out of the box" the device is supplied with a pre-installed evaporative element with a resistance of 0.3 ohms, and 0.5 ohm and 0.18 ohm evaporators are additionally included in the delivery package. In general, the supported resistance can range from 0.15 to 3.5 ohms. As a result, the needs of all e—cigarette users are taken into account — both those who are eager to get a large amount of steam, and those who prefer a milder taste.

The battery mod of the model has an increased capacity (3000 mAh), which is enough for a day of active use of the device. The battery charge level is signaled by the indicator light surrounding the "Fire" button: when fully charged, it burns with a steady light, and as the battery is discharged, it starts flashing (the more intense the more the battery is discharged). The button also performs the function of locking / unlocking the mod, which are achieved by pressing it five times.

The owners of the device sometimes blame the reviews of the model for the disadvantage associated with the flow of an excessively liquid mixture through a loosely twisted evaporator. If all the elements are tightened tight, such a problem should not arise. Eleaf iJust S Kit will be an excellent choice of starter kit for beginners, for whom it will serve faithfully for a long time.

In the update of the popular beginner kit KangerTech Subox Mini Starter Kit , which received the index "C" in the model name, introduced a couple of useful innovations: quick access to the evaporator and the ability to adjust the liquid supply.

The rectangular battery mod of the device is powered by a single 18650 battery. Note that the battery is not included in the package and must be purchased separately. It is possible to replenish the energy reserves of the battery through the microUSB slot. On the same side face there are electronic cigarette control keys and a small OLED display that serves to display information about voltage, power, resistance level (0.3-1.6 ohms) and the remaining battery charge.

The device supports the varivatt mode (variable power) — the power level is adjusted in the range from 7 to 50 watts with a minimum step of 0.1 watts. The more power, the more steam an electronic cigarette can generate. But the temperature control function of the device, unfortunately, is not supported.

The kit with the model includes a ProTank 5 clearomizer with adjustable liquid supply and quick access to the evaporative element. The claimed volume of the liquid tank for vaping is 3 mL, in fact, about 4 mL is placed in it. It is undesirable to overflow the container above the marked level, because this increases the risk of liquid leakage.

One of the disadvantages of the model is a non—removable mouthpiece — it is simply one with the top cover, so it will not work to change it. But in terms of the variety and availability of vaporizers, there is no question at all — the atomizer is compatible with all branded evaporative elements of the SSOCC series, which are the optimal choice for novice vapers (adherents of vaping).

Gen3 is the third and so far the last generation of the popular Wismec Reuleaux line of vapes with a battery mod for three replaceable 18650 lithium-ion batteries.

The updated mod has become noticeably more compact and lighter: 39x49x114 mm and 198 g.The stainless steel case impresses with an abundance of colours, there are 9 of them: black, red, brown, grey, green, bright green, polished stainless steel, and two chameleon colours: purple-blue and purple-brown. The quality of painting, however, is not very good, on thin parts the paint begins to climb soon enough.

Even more impressive is the power of the device — the maximum 300 watts allow you to generate a decent amount of steam. For comparison, in many starter kits for beginners, this figure does not exceed 50.

In addition, the tightening power can be adjusted. All control takes place using three physical buttons. Information about voltage, power, battery charge, firmware version, etc. is displayed on the LED display.

Included with the mod are: an atomizer with a double-spiral evaporator, a three-spiral evaporator, a drip tip mouthpiece, a replaceable glass for the tank, a usb cable and detailed instructions.

But the batteries are not included in the kit, they are bought separately and it is better to have 6 pcs at once, since they can be charged not only in the fashion itself, but also in an external charger (recommended by the manufacturer). And you can choose the battery life yourself by buying batteries of one capacity or another.

With all the solidity of the tank, you should not expect too tasty steam from it, but it is definitely better than more modest tanks. In addition, you can use an atomizer with less ohms and then there will be order with taste.

The device supports the installation of glasses of different widths, which allows you to increase the amount of refilled liquid to 4 mL. The native atomizer comes with a 2 mL tank, which is not enough for a mod of such power, it will have to be refilled often. It's easy to do: just slide the atomizer cover.

Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 Kit is a box mod that will appeal not only to a beginner, but also to a sophisticated vaper. However, you will have to fork out.
