Aspire AVP Pod Kit Review

The structure and functions of small cigarettes are relatively simple. They are usually used as a mini battery host or a combination cigarette bomb to output smoke. Under such a simple framework, there is very little room for play, so many small cigarettes look It seems that they are all the same, which is really due to limited space. However, even so, it cannot stop the meticulous craftsmanship of a few small cigarettes from making a sudden appearance.
 
What I bring to you today is a representative work with diversified functions and refined internal structure of Xiaoyan. It is produced by Aspire Yijiate, a veteran e-cigarette manufacturer in the industry. In the past two years, Yijiate has produced new products quite quickly, and it has even OEM many products, and its innovation and research and development capabilities are quite strong.

AVP Small Cigarettes do not use conventional slender strips, but adopt a more fashionable square shield-shaped appearance. The decorative embellishment of carbon fiber panels makes the overall appearance look very classy.

The structure maintains a simple two-piece mainframe + cigarette cartridge. The cigarette cartridge can be self-added and reused. The three-gear power output is adjustable, the carrying capacity of 2ml cigarette cartridge, and the 700mg battery has outstanding performance. What is rare is that it still maintains a small and mini figure.

After a few days of evaluation experience, there are still quite a lot of careful designs inside AVP. Please join equa and enter the AVP for a detailed review.

[Packaging and parameter measurement]
 
The packaging of the AVP cigarettes received this time is a retail version, with a black color overall. The front is a bronzed aspirire logo and a real shot of the AVP. There are relevant parameters and production information on the back. The information in all Chinese is very detailed. The outer layer of the received packaging is covered with a disposable sealing film to ensure that the product received by the user is new and complete.
 
Pushing open the outer cover sealing paper and opening the packaging box with the upper and lower covers, it can be seen that the contents are embedded in foam in two layers, which can resist the violence of long-distance transportation.
 
Remove all packaging and get the product list: 1 AVP small cigarette main unit, 2 empty smoke bombs, 1 lanyard, 1 MicroUSB charging cable, and 1 manual warranty card certificate each. The instructions are printed in color and text in Chinese, which is quite exquisite and friendly to domestic users to use.
 
The two empty cigarette bombs in the package are sealed with aluminum foil to ensure that the user receives the cigarette bombs in a new, unused state.
 
For convenience of use, the manufacturer has also specially prepared a detachable lanyard. Press the silver button in the middle to remove the ring buckle at the front end, which is convenient for users to hang it on their chest and use it, or remove it at any time for charging.
 
The cigarette bomb, mainframe, and lanyard are integrated together, and the details are quite exquisite, and the user's experience after unpacking will be very good.
 
Let's measure the parameters of the AVP small smoke. The measured height is 81.7 mm, the width at the widest point is 39.2 mm, and the thickness is 14.3 mm. Although the overall size is not extremely small, it is still quite portable.
 
The measured weight reached 71 grams, which is a bit heavy compared to the weight of the long cigarette, which is usually less than 30 grams. However, if you consider its performance mentioned later, I think this double weight is completely worth it.

[Comprehensive Analysis of Host Appearance]#p#Pagination Title #e#
 
The outer shell of AVP is made of aluminum alloy metal, but its surface is decorated with carbon fiber panels, and the side is sprayed with a rubber-like skin-friendly material. Therefore, it feels like it is other composite materials. It feels very comfortable when holding it in your hand., it will have a bit of a resin touch, the surface craftsmanship is quite superb, and the workmanship is typical of a big factory.
 
The AVP model logo is printed on one side below the mainframe, while the other side is the Aspire brand. There is also a beautiful chamfered hexagonal LED light underneath it. It lights up like a breathing light when smoking, and the color of the light represents the current power, and green, blue and red represent sufficient power, medium and insufficient power respectively （3.8V/3.5-3.8V/3.5V）; This LED light also has a button function. Pressing 5 times in 2 seconds can turn the machine on and off. In the power-on state, pressing 2 times in 1 second can switch the power output. After that, lights of different colors flash to display the current working power., consistent with the power display logic, green, blue, and red represent the three outputs of high, medium and low respectively (12W/10W/8W), for general small cigarettes, they can only passively accept the constant output and taste of the host, and AVP provides users with space to choose.
 
There is a MicroUSB charging port placed on the bottom of the AVP, and the built-in battery capacity is 700mAh, which is the main reason why the AVP is slightly larger and heavier.
 
The top of the AVP is very well designed. It looks a lot like the front face of the spacecraft and is very distinctive. The transparent black plastic cigarette bomb is well matched with the main unit. The surface of the cigarette bomb is smooth and smooth, and the nozzle is flat. The entrance feels good.
 
A grain-shaped opening with a width of 2mm can be seen on one side of the side. It is a relatively rare large intake design among small cigarettes, which also fully demonstrates that AVP is confident in its output. Of course, this hole is also the fixing hole for the lanyard. After the lanyard is attached, the air intake volume can be appropriately reduced, killing two birds with one stone.
 
Its overall structure is a 2-piece type. Although it is designed with buttons, its ignition does not require buttons. Instead, it adopts an airflow valve switch control. It automatically ignites when inhaling, and automatically stops when inhaling, which is as close to the user. The smoking experience can be said to be zero-based in operation.

From the cross-section view, the two are connected by contacting electrodes in terms of the circuit. The two spring contacts on the host are in contact with the double-ring electrode on the bottom of the cigarette bomb. There are magnet adsorption blocks on both sides. The four magnets bring greater suction force, and there will be a feeling of sliding in when in contact.

[Smoke Bomb Analysis]
 
AVP provides two empty smoke bombs in its packaging. Based on the average life of one smoke bomb with 5-8 tanks of oil, it can be used for quite a while. In addition, there are no other accessories. The instructions clearly state that the atomizing core is built into the atomizer and the atomizing core cannot be replaced separately. What is the truth? Let's continue to analyze.

Yijiate carefully and carefully redesigned the brand-new cigarette structure this time. For ease of understanding, equa made the following structural diagram. It can be seen that unlike almost all cigarette bombs, AVP's cigarette bombs have 2 air flow channels. ① in the figure below is the main ventilation channel, adopting a vertical coil design, adopting a finished atomizing core structure. The cotton core is directly wrapped around the periphery of the coil instead of extending it. For the output power of small cigarettes, this straight direction of the airflow will be more secure; ② In order to assist the airflow channel, blank air is introduced to dilute and mix the airflow to reduce the stimulation of the short airway in the main channel to adjust the taste of high-nicotine salt tobacco oil; the nozzle part is an open design to reduce condensation and direct polymerization. Another way to reduce the impact of condensation on the taste. The oil bin adopts a raised design, which can basically evaporate all the tobacco oil and reduce the waste of tobacco oil or the impact on the taste when changing oil. Judging from these details, aspire has put a lot of effort into the design of this AVP.# p#pagination title #e#
 
In terms of the atomizing core, driven by the author's ADHD and curiosity, it was easy to remove the entire atomizing core. The typical finished atomizing core design has upper and lower rubber plugs sealing the oil passage. In this way, aspire is actually leaving a back door for AVP, but it is unknown whether it will have a separate matching atomizing core for sale, but obviously, it has the same replaceable design as several other high-output small cigarette competing products. As for Yijiate's statement that the atomizing core cannot be replaced in the instructions, I believe that it is more to improve its ease of use. For e-cigarette users who do not understand the operation, especially novices, the oil leakage problems and complaints caused by improper replacement of the atomizing core are the most troublesome. If a disposable design is adopted, many unnecessary after-sales problems will be avoided. Of course, at this point, aspire can also fully advance, retreat, and defend, depending on how its future business strategy positions.

The atomizing core is also a very typical finished core design. The negative electrode can be directly pulled out, and the volume is not even particularly small. Users who like to hands-on and are patient can refer to equa's past tutorials to see how to make it last forever.

It can be seen from the side that the cigarette bomb maintains excellent workmanship and slim physique, but its capacity can still reach a large capacity of 2ml, which is quite good.

The original conventional design of the bottom has become unique and distinctive due to AVP's special oiling method.

Different from the design of ordinary small smoke bombs that use silicone plugs, AVP uses a rather powerful spring check valve to control oil filling. When filling oil, you only need to use the head of a point-tipped bottle to hold the stainless steel oil filling hole. The round hole in the middle of the oil filling hole is pushed downward, and then squeezed to fill the oil. Aspire is always very creative. This oil filling hole is quite impressive when placed on a small cigarette bomb, and there is no leakage problem from the silicone cover at all. Because it is one-way designed, once the oil is too much, it cannot be sucked out directly. You can refer to the previous method to take out the atomizing core and then pour out the oil.

Looking at the top, the suction nozzle adopts a wide mouth design. As mentioned earlier, this is another way to disperse condensation, which can reduce the interference of condensate on the taste, and the measured effect is also quite good.

[Experience]

  The overall volume of AVP is not large, and it is still a typical smoky physique. It only occupies a corner of the palm. The side skin-like painting process brings a quite good hand-held feel. The working way of the air switch makes it extremely simple to operate, maximizing the experience of smoking, and even newcomers can start it without thinking.

In terms of taste experience, AVP provides high-medium-low power output of 12W/10W/8W. With the fine atomizing core design, its taste performance is not very obvious from the general large-box host + atomizer combination., quite impressive!

Therefore, if you are a long-term user of small cigarettes rather than a user who is used to using boxes, you will find the output taste of AVP very strange, very different from ordinary small cigarettes, and even feel unable to adapt to it in the early stages! Based on the previous analysis, it should be understood that its design concepts such as larger air intake, higher power, auxiliary airflow mixing, and short air passage straight into the cigarette holder are completely opposite to the long flue, small air intake, and low power of ordinary small cigarettes. The design is therefore expected to bring a completely different taste. For users like me who have used boxes for a long time, what I have been looking for is this kind of small cigarette with strong explosion, large intake, and more complex layered taste. Personally, I think AVP has done it!

The author likes its design with a large intake air. For an old smoker like me, it can meet the need for light lung smoking. Add 50mg of nicotine salt and tobacco oil, and sip it for two or three sips to relieve the addiction. It does not require a small sip like ordinary small cigarettes. Take it slowly; At the same time, I like its 3-gear design. For cigarette oil with relatively heavy cool taste, adjusting different power output can get different coolness, and the taste experience can be gradually deepened; I like the adjustment effect of its secondary air intake on the main passage, so that the high-nicotine salt tobacco oil will not choke too much; for the author, the most typical use scenario is to add high-nicotine salt special tobacco oil for small cigarettes, and use it in turns at different peaks. It will bring a very layered tobacco oil experience, and the performance is quite sharp and amazing!

For a power of up to 12W combined with the finished atomizing core, it is theoretically enough to drive general conventional cigarette oil (non-cigarette oil for small cigarettes). The author tried it. The AVP's performance is that it can analyze the cigarette oil and the amount of smoke is also sufficient. Full, but it is more like a portable version of a box + atomizer. It cannot and cannot surpass the taste of a dedicated taste atomizer. Its performance is not as amazing as a small cigarette driving small cigarette oil.# p#pagination title #e#

In terms of battery life, the 700mAh built-in battery life is enough for an old smoker like me to use for three days. It is quite powerful. In addition, the AVP actually supports charging while using charging. For modern people who usually carry charging treasure when going out, battery life is basically not a problem.

In terms of slot points, based on AVP's short air passage design, after the tobacco oil is placed for a long time, the first few mouthfuls will absorb the tobacco oil in the over-absorbed atomizing core to a point into the mouth. This is a short air passage. The common problem of finished cores can only be solved by stuffing it in with a tissue and sucking some oil out before sucking.

[Summary]

As a new generation of small cigarette products carefully designed by aspire, AVP has impressive performance in terms of appearance design, workmanship details, internal design and taste output! Exquisite workmanship, small and portable, 3-gear pressure regulation, and scientific structure all show the superb R & D capabilities and excellent design level of aspire's engineers. Such a new small cigarette product that performs well both externally and internally is worthy of five-star key recommendation!
