I. Unboxing and First Impressions
- Packaging : Korean trendy style, graffiti gradient outer box printed with "Dual Flavor・Dual Power", contains 1 e-cigarette device, 1 dual-chamber e-liquid cartridge, 1 Type-C cable, and instruction manual (Korean/English).
- Body : Metallic paint finish, weighs approximately 32g, feels weightless when held in one hand; Graffiti gradient color scheme (Aurora Purple in this test) reflects dazzling luster from different angles, making it highly recognizable on the street.
- Details : A physical button and hidden LED light on the front, a rotating air intake ring at the bottom, and a magnetic connection for the e-cigarette cartridge that clicks and unplugs cleanly without loosening.
II. Core Operations and Learning Difficulty
Button logic (beginners need to memorize it; it will be more efficient once you are proficient)
sheet
| Operation method | Functional effects | Scene adaptation |
|---|---|---|
| Click ×1 | Displays battery level (three levels) + remaining fuel level. | Daily self-check |
| Double-click ×2 | Switch between A/B oil tank flavors | Want a different flavor but not the same texture? |
| Triple Hit x3 | Switching between Normal/Turbo power | Gentle for commuting / Strong throat hit for stress relief |
| Four hits x4 | Turn the bottom breathing light on/off | Use discreetly at night |
- Real-world feedback : Accidental touches were common in the first two days (e.g., double-tap became triple-tap), but after marking the button with a small sticker, the user quickly adapted; the LED light was too bright, and accidental touches in the pocket at night would cause it to light up, so it is recommended to turn it off with a quad-tap.
Suction resistance adjustment
The bottom rotating ring offers stepless adjustment, allowing for a smooth transition from "tight mouth-to-lung (MTL, similar to cigarette smoke)" to "light lung-to-lung (DTL, for more vapor)". In actual testing, the tight setting was used in the office, resulting in no throat irritation or noise; the relaxed setting was used outdoors for stress relief, and combined with the Turbo mode, it maximized the vapor production.
III. Core Functionality Testing (Biggest Selling Point)
1. Dual-class cabins with dual flavors + mixed mode (maximum playability)
- Hardware support : The e-liquid cartridge has two independent oil compartments (total capacity 2ml, 1ml per compartment), magnetic sealing design, and has been tested for 7 days without oil leakage or flavor mixing (unless intentionally mixed).
-
Real-world testing experience :
- Single flavor mode: A compartment contains "Strawberry Yogurt", and B compartment contains "Blackcurrant Mint". Double-click to switch instantly, with clear flavor boundaries, eliminating the need for frequent refills.
- Mixed Mode: Double-tap twice to unlock "A+B Mixed Flavor". The creamy aroma of strawberry blends with the coolness of blackcurrant, a surprisingly good match, which can be called a "hidden surprise".
- Pain point : With a single cartridge containing 1ml, heavy users (averaging 80 puffs per day) need to replace the cartridge every 1-2 days, resulting in high long-term costs.
2. Taste differences between dual power modes
sheet
| model | Output power | smoke volume | Throat hit | fuel consumption | Suitable scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 8W | Moderate | Gentle (★★☆) | Low | Office work, commuting, beginners |
| Turbo (Powerful) | 12W | full | Strongly recommended (★★★★) | High (30% higher than normal) | Decompression, parties, advanced users |
- Real-world testing feedback : In Normal mode, the Mesh core heats up evenly, with high fruit flavor fidelity and no burnt taste; in Turbo mode, the vapor production is significantly increased, with a strong throat hit but no harshness, making it suitable for long-time smokers.
IV. Battery Life and Charging
- Battery capacity : 430mAh (standard configuration for Korean version).
- Actual battery life test : In Normal mode, with an average of 40 ports per day, it can last for 1.5 days; in Turbo mode, with an average of 40 ports per day, it needs to be charged once a day.
- Charging speed : Type-C fast charging, 0-100% in about 45 minutes, 10 minutes of charging can provide half a day of emergency use.
- Weaknesses : There is no battery percentage display; the remaining battery level is not accurately determined by the three light levels alone. When outdoors without a power bank, the Turbo mode should be used with caution.
V. Flavor Test of E-cigarette Cartridges (Top 3 Popular Korean Flavors)
Based on the Korean domestic 20mg/ml nicotine version, we selected 3 flavors with the highest reputation:
sheet
| taste | Sweetness | Coolness | Throat hit | Actual test evaluation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strawberry Yogurt | ★★★★ | ★★☆ | ★★ | A classic Korean flavor, rich and creamy without being cloying, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour strawberry. Beginners can drink it without hesitation. |
| Blackcurrant mint | ★★★ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★ | The icy sensation is explosive, the blackcurrant aroma is rich and mellow, a must-have for those who love strong flavors, and a lifesaver for cutting through richness. |
| Aloe Grape | ★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★ | The refreshing grape scent paired with the coolness of aloe vera, along with a moderate cooling effect, makes it perfect for outdoor activities in summer. |
- General feedback : The Korean version has a restrained sweetness, without being overly sweet, with a rich and layered icy sensation, a clean finish, and no lingering aftertaste.
VI. Summary of Advantages and Disadvantages and Scoring
Core advantages
- Ultimate in terms of playability : Dual compartments with dual flavors + mixed mode + dual power + stepless suction resistance, offering the most playability in its price range.
- Consistent taste : The Mesh core performs excellently, with no burnt taste and excellent leak-proof performance.
- Outstanding appearance : Graffiti gradient + metallic texture, a must-have for Korean trendsetters, with maximum social appeal.
Obvious shortcomings
- Battery life is average : the 430mAh battery is insufficient to support heavy users for a full day of use.
- Operational barrier : The multi-click button logic is not user-friendly for beginners and is prone to accidental touches.
