Taiwan AIPHA Starter Kit Review

  Since electronic cigarettes entered the domestic market, various electronic cigarette brands and manufacturers have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Today, we will introduce this starter kit from the beautiful island of "Taiwan" - Vethos Design, designed by a Taiwanese team and manufactured in China! This is something everyone understands! How does the Alpha XS perform as a beginner kit?

【Packaging】

The packaging features a relatively simple black design paired with a striking gold foil logo, indicating the production team and the Alpha XS product name. The quality of the cardboard box feels very substantial.

The back lists the product contents and briefly introduces the Alpha XS. As for what it introduces, I haven't researched it in detail in English. The box wraps around this sentence - This product contains nicotine which is a highly addictive substance.

Upon opening the package, the piano black main device has a strong metallic feel, but the surface has been polished to shine. Currently, the packaging uses foam reinforcement, so transportation is not an issue.

Contents include: Alpha XS main device, atomizer, spare oil tank, two pre-made atomizer cores (0.3Ω, 0.8Ω), spare O-rings, USB charging cable, user manual (available in various languages), and warranty card.

【Atomizer】

The Alpha XS, as a beginner kit, gives me the first impression that it is indeed very beginner-friendly! The atomizer is straightforward and quite simple! Made of the same zinc alloy material as the main device, it features a piano black lacquer finish.

Atomizer breakdown: drip tip, top cap, filling port, glass tank, atomizer core, base, and bottom airflow adjustment port.

The standard 510 drip tip has an internal chamfer that helps with condensation return, and there is a protruding return groove. The top lacquer finish matches the entire atomizer's main device color.

The top cap and filling port are standard top-fill, with large openings on both sides to accommodate various filling tubes. However, one point is that the top cap and filling port are not easily separable.

It comes with two atomizer cores: 0.3Ω recommended power range: 25W-55W, 0.8Ω recommended power range: 15W-25W, both clearly marked, and the bottom also features the company's logo, resembling a pacemaker's symbol.

Based on the size of the bottom airflow port, the Alpha XS atomizer leans towards a flavor-oriented lung inhale. The bottom adjustment is smooth and does not get stuck.

【Main Device】

The Alpha XS main device is made of zinc alloy with a piano black spray paint finish. The side of the main device has a metal piece engraved with Vethos Design, which is quite eye-catching. The paintwork on the main device is quite refined, giving it a premium feel without any cheapness!

The top features a standard 510 universal interface, with fine polishing technology, engraved with the Alpha XS logo. There may be some wear at the interface due to the atomizer.

The battery compartment is set on the side, similar to mainstream devices, using magnetic attachment. The magnets are also painted to match the overall aesthetic, and I must commend the attention to detail, as both the exterior and interior are well-painted! The magnetic attachment is quite strong, so there is no risk of it falling off! The battery compartment is designed for easy removal, with clear battery installation markings.

The buttons on the Alpha XS main device are gold-plated, with a crisp and powerful click response. The fire button has a slight chamfer for a better feel. The +/- buttons are integrated, and operation is not hindered at all.

Unlike conventional designs, the USB charging port is placed on the side, which does not affect the overall aesthetics and makes charging more convenient.

The bottom of the main device indicates that it is produced by Vethos Design in Taiwan, with three uniquely shaped pressure relief holes.

【Display Screen】

The display screen of the Alpha XS main device looks quite comfortable, with bold fonts and standard information. For beginners, having too many functions may seem complex and hard to understand. It includes general mode, power, output voltage, resistance, firing duration, and battery level!

【User Experience】

After using the Alpha XS main device for a few days, the restoration of e-liquid flavor is very accurate! The saturation of the flavor is sufficient, and the oil supply is timely! The key point is that the sealing is done very well, with no leakage! However, 2ML may be a bit insufficient for experienced users! Beginners can overlook this! Its lightweight and convenience are its highlights.
