The Vype ePen3 is an electronic cigarette kit from British American Tobacco, equipped with a Micro-USB charging cable and two pods, featuring a blend of tobacco and mint flavors, both with a nicotine content of 18mg, and a 650mAh battery that requires two hours for the first charge.
The disposable pods cannot be refilled, but replacement packs are available, with flavors including mint, apple, cherry, tobacco, vanilla, wild berry, and golden tobacco, with nicotine levels available at 0, 6, 12, and 18mg, along with nicotine salts to choose from.
The packaging has a minimalist style, and due to its overall size, it does not come with a power adapter. The instructions are in English, but the operation is illustrated, making it simple and easy to understand.
How to Use
Three steps: Insert the pod ---- Press the button three times to turn on (green indicator light) --- Press and hold the button to inhale (white indicator light) --- Press the button three times to turn off (green indicator light blinks three times). When the battery is low, the power indicator light turns red.
Appearance
As a compact device, it is relatively large, bigger than RELX, and similar in size to IQOS MESH. The body is made of plastic, with a rubber paint finish that feels quite delicate, and the rubber paint includes pearlescent powder, giving it a metallic feel. The body has an oval cross-section, with smooth curves on both sides, making it comfortable to hold with one hand.
Inhalation Experience
Compared to ordinary compact devices, the vapor production is larger, with moderate airflow resistance. There is a slight popping sound during inhalation, but it is not significant. The flavor is quite delicate, and when inhaling forcefully, a small amount of e-liquid may be drawn in, so it is recommended to inhale slowly and gently.
Pod Structure
Overall, the pod structure is relatively simple and easy to disassemble, with the main components being the oil chamber, connection bracket, heating wire, and electrode. The heating principle involves the heating wire being wrapped around a fiber rope, with both ends of the fiber rope immersed in the oil chamber to guide the oil.
Compared to typical pods, the bottom of the pod is sealed, which reduces the risk of leakage to some extent. During inhalation, airflow enters from the side (there are ventilation holes on the side of the device and pod). One side of the pod has a ventilation hole, and both sides of the device have ventilation holes, ensuring that consumers can insert the pod in either direction while allowing airflow to enter, which is quite user-friendly.
Conclusion
As a product from British American Tobacco, it achieves a mid-to-high level in terms of craftsmanship and inhalation experience among compact devices. The overall design is minimalist, suitable for the younger generation's experience, with a simple and reliable internal structure. Although there are no innovations in technical structure, the principle of oil-guiding through the wrapped heating wire is relatively stable and reliable.
