SMOK MAG GRIP Single-Battery Kit Review
Beyond serving as a basic cigarette alternative, vaping devices are also something people carry and handle every day, so distinctive styling, comfortable ergonomics, and ease of use are all important factors. As the vaping industry becomes more crowded an
In addition to satisfying the basic function of replacing cigarettes, e-cigarettes, as a portable toy, whether their appearance is personalized, whether it feels comfortable, and whether it is convenient to use are naturally also very important factors. Now the e-cigarette industry is becoming more and more lively, many companies and investors have entered this industry, and the experience of e-cigarettes is becoming increasingly important.
The MAG series is SMOK's most distinctive stock series. Two stock stocks, MAG and MAG Baby, have been launched before. The latter can be said to be a reduced and simplified version of the former. Today's MAG GRIP is an extension of MAG, not just a simplified version. It can be seen from the retention of the iconic one-click battery pack replacement function.
Due to the imitation butt design, the MAG series are very ergonomic and bring a very good grip. This fit is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary square boxes.
In addition,MAG GRIP also brings a maximum power of 85W/100W from a single battery, compatible with three specifications of 18650/20700/21700 batteries, and relatively reduced size and weight. Can this new small stock bring new joy to players? Please visit today's detailed review of MAG GRIP.
[Packaging and parameter measurement]
The packaging that received NORD is a square box. The red machine uses a red box. The front is a real shot of the MAG GRIP set, coupled with psychedelic aurora lines, which looks very science fiction. The entire exterior of the box is covered with a disposable plastic sealing film when received, ensuring that the product received is complete and new.
Remove all packaging and get the product list: 1 MAG GRIP mainframe, TFV8 Baby v2 atomizer (1 pre-installed atomizing core), 1 spare atomizing core, 1 spare straight glass tube, 1 spare leak-proof rubber ring 1 pack, 1 MicroUSB charging cable, 1 manual warranty card and warning card.
The volume of the MAG GRIP is relatively small. The measured height of the suit is 139.6 mm, and the widest part of the width is 66.5 mm, while the actual width of the lower handle grip is only 43mm, and the overall thickness is 38.3 mm.
Weight Measured MAG GRIP package net weight of 311 grams, plus a 18650 battery net weight of 364 grams, if paired with 20700 or 21700 battery weight will be slightly increased. As a single electric package, this weight is still relatively some pressure hand, but relative to the dual electric MAG, has been a lot of burden.
[Comprehensive analysis of appearance and function]
The overall appearance of the MAG GRIP suit is quite unique, even more recognizable than the stock shape of the original MAG. This is mainly because the MAG GRIP extends the upper edge of the host outward, presenting a more exaggerated visual effect. The overall look is not just like a stock, but a bit like the handle of a laser sword. The iconic design elements of the past MAG, such as the trigger ignition button, one-click replacement and exit battery cartridge, concave grip position, snake-pattern decorative panel and other features, have been retained.
At the extended platform, MAG GRIP creatively places the display screen and +/-adjustment buttons here, which can bring a more intuitive observation window and more convenient adjustment. In actual use, this design will be very practical, especially in operations such as wire burning, which can completely achieve the effect of a dedicated wire burning table.
Due to the imitation butt design (or sword handle), its overall ergonomic design is very prominent and the fit with the hand is very perfect. In other words, the butt is not only so beautiful, but it is also quite practical. This kind of holding feeling is unmatched by ordinary square boxes.
MAG GRIP's magazine changer uses round special buttons, and the true color of stainless steel is dotted in the black handle, which is very prominent. The details and decoration are also handled very carefully, maintaining SMOK's consistent style of a big factory. From this detail drawing, you can also see that the main body of SMOK GRIP is basically made of metal, and the materials are very solid, so the overall weight is high. The classic color blocking design, coupled with the contrast of piano topcoat with black matte paint, presents a fairly good visual effect overall. SMOK's appearance artists generally will not disappoint.
When the replacement button is pressed, the magazine (battery compartment) will pop out from the lower part, and then the battery replacement operation can be easily carried out, which is quite unique. The reminder is that the host will shut down immediately after replacing the battery. After inserting it again, you need to press the ignition button 5 times to boot.# p#pagination title #e#
The ignition button is also designed for the trigger, but it does not require a large distance to be pulled like a pistol. In fact, it only needs to be gently pressed a short distance to trigger, and the overall feel is quite good.
The bottom of the battery compartment is made of metal, echoing the metal material of the mainframe, making the overall visual effect better, but it also increases the overall weight.
When you take out the battery compartment, you can see that the 18650 battery is combined in the battery compartment through a sleeve. This section also shows that the overall material of the mainframe is quite thick, indicating that the durability will be good.
Separating the battery and casing from the battery compartment, you can see that the battery compartment is also made of metal. It is estimated that the metal material is used to cope with the durability of repeated pop-ups, but it also increases the weight of the whole machine. The casing is made of plastic to provide insulation. When not using a sleeve, you can use a 20700 or 21700 battery. In addition to increasing battery life, more importantly, you can increase the maximum power of MAG GRIP to 100W, providing another way to play.
When booting up, there will be an additional selection interface on the screen, requiring the user to choose the type of battery to put in, whether it is 18650 or 20700/21700 batteries. After that, the working power will be different, and the output will be slightly different.
MAG GRIP's host 510 interface is designed to one side, making it easy to smoke.. The negative plate is made of stainless steel and has a large area, which can well protect the topcoat of the top panel. From this perspective, you can also see that the top screen is a monochrome screen, and the display effect can only be said to be basically enough. Compared to the MAG color screen, it is a lot of low-end. Of course, it does not rule out that this may be a method of differentiated marketing.
The atomizer equipped with this set is TFV8 Baby v2, a new and upgraded new generation atomizer based on TFV8 Baby. It is small and flexible, and has a prominent taste.
The TFV family upper flip oil filling design is still retained, and like the TFV12 series, the TFV8 series has introduced an anti-accidental lid lock button for the first time, making it safer and more convenient to use.
For daily use, just unscrew it like this to complete operations such as replacing the atomizing core and cleaning the atomizer. When assembling, it is also recommended as shown in the figure below. First screw the atomizing core onto the base and screw the glass tube onto the upper cover. After combining it into two pieces, assemble the entire atomizer, so that it is not easy to rush to prevent breaking the glass tube.
The overall components of the TFV8 Baby v2 also maintain the simple style of the TFV family. Even if completely disassembled, the TFV8 Baby v2 atomizer only has 5 components: nozzle, upper cover, glass tube, atomizing core, and base. This makes it easy for newcomers without any foundation to start operating.
In addition, this time the TFV8 Baby v2 atomizer brings two new TFV8 atomizing core cores, both with resistance values of 0.15.
However, the coil structures of the two are very different. They are single-hole steel mesh cores and double-hole spiral coils, which bring slightly different tastes to provide users with different needs.
In terms of functions,MAG GRIP has returned to the four-phase menu structure system of the previous generation SMOK model. Pressing the ignition button 3 times in 2 seconds can enter the menu settings, which include mode selection, smoking statistics, host settings, and shutdown. Four options. Users who have used older SMOK models in the past should be very familiar with them. The host provides a maximum of 85W of power output when connected to the 18650 battery, and when connected to the 20700 or 21700 battery, it can provide a maximum of 100W of output. However, as a single power,85W of power is enough. Even if 60W is used to drive a low-impedance coil of around 0.15, there will be no problem.
In terms of power testing, the author used a power meter to serially connect the nebulizer electrodes to measure its output power, and used a TTL real-time communication module to upload the data to a computer to draw a curve.
Measuring a maximum output of 85W,equa used a 0.11 resistor and a fully charged SONY VTC4 battery for testing, and successfully obtained a maximum power output of 86.8W. Due to the impact of DC discharge, the power in the after-process has a significant downward trend. The 10-second test interval (10 seconds is the safety protection period of the host) can get an average power output of 81.7W, which is in line with its positioning of 85W power.
The 40W measurement shows slight fluctuations in power, but the overall average is above 40W.
The output at 20W power is very stable, and the average power is 20W, which is very accurate.
The overall power measurement shows that the output of MAG GRIP is straightforward without delay, and the output of power also conforms to its nominal value, making it no problem for daily use.# p#pagination title #e#
[Experience]
In terms of hands-on experience, the previous part has actually been mentioned in great detail. The grip of MAG GRIP is very good and the fit with the palm is very high. The experience of using it in the hand is pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, because the top platform of the host protrudes slightly outward, it gets very good holding support at the tiger's mouth, which feels more like the experience of holding a sword handle; in addition, since the screen is also located right in front of it at this time, viewing relevant data has also become more convenient, and this design is very practical and comfortable in daily use.
The main body can get a maximum output power of 85W when paired with the 18650 battery, which is just right for use with the standard 0.15 finished atomizing core. This makes the performance of the new TFV8 Baby v2 atomizer remarkable. The comprehensive experience is that the oil storage atomizer tends to have large smoke, which will be more suitable for users who like bigger smoke and pursue a hotter taste. Veterans who have used TFV series atomizers should easily adapt.
Compared with its functions, what attracts more attention about MAG GRIP is its unique design and superb workmanship. During the few days of trial use, friends will always ask what e-cigarette this is? Why is the appearance so unique? They even thought that the author was deceiving them, but at this time, the most effective way was to put it in their mouth, take a deep breath, and spit out a long string of smoke to prove that e-cigarettes can be so cool!
In terms of slot points, the weight of MAG GRIP is still slightly heavier. Of course, this is related to the solid all-metal material used inside and outside. However, the weight of a single electric machine can be reduced a little bit, and the burden of traveling will be easier. Although there are also lightweight MAG BABY options, from the overall shape, especially the design of the one-click magazine, MAG GRIP is cooler.
[Summary]
MAG butt is a brand new series launched by SMOK at the end of last year. With its unique charm, it is impressive and unforgettable! But on the other hand, because it is so unique, it once caused people to worry that it will fade out after just provoking a series of ripples. Now MAG GRIP has taken over the baton and opened a new page with a new configuration. It is naturally excellent to continue to extend this excellent idea! If unique personality and self-expression are your motto, then there is no need to worry about parameter structure configurations. MAG GRIP will definitely surprise you and be worth it!
