ESUN Yishuang S Pod Kit: 0-Nicotine for a Greener, Healthier Choice

After the May Day holiday, how satisfied are you with your holiday plans? I believe there are friends who, like me, stayed at home scrolling through Douyin. Today, I bring you the ESUN Yishuang S Pod Kit, which I just received before the holiday and had the chance to experience during the break.

Before sharing, let’s talk about the current e-cigarette market (or more directly, the pod market). The domestic e-cigarette industry is on a fast track of development. On one hand, as a substitute for traditional cigarettes, the technology of e-cigarettes is constantly improving, making the taste and flavor increasingly similar to traditional cigarettes. On the other hand, the large consumer population in the country provides limitless potential for the future of the e-cigarette industry, which is why competition in the e-cigarette sector is becoming increasingly fierce.

Friendly reminder: In response to market demands, e-cigarettes are prohibited for minors under 18.

Official reminder: If you do not smoke traditional cigarettes, we do not recommend you try e-cigarettes either.

In February of this year, the Yishuang e-cigarette gained significant attention, completing a million yuan angel round of financing, aiming to create a health ecosystem around atomization. During this time, many friends have asked if YISTAR and ESUN are the same company. Yes, ESUN is the upgraded name of Yishuang, and future packaging will bear this label.

So, what makes this product different or innovative compared to many similar products on the market? Without further ado, I received three color variants of the e-cigarette from the brand.

ESUN Yishuang S Pod Kit

Speaking of pod systems, I personally quite like them, mainly because they are more portable and offer better taste and flavor compared to disposable e-cigarettes.

【Design】

Three color options: Imperial Red, Piano Black, and Ivory White.

First, let’s take a look at the overall packaging design. The packaging style leans towards minimalism and youthfulness, with the device featuring a smooth edge design, making it compact and portable. It is very convenient to carry, whether placed in a pocket or a bag, taking up minimal space. The dual sides use a fine matte finish, providing a smooth feel that is resistant to dust and fingerprints, so you don’t have to worry about it becoming a fingerprint collector. The central mirrored smooth lines give it a sleek and appealing look.

Additionally, the flat design of the pod mouthpiece, combined with appropriately sized air intake holes, allows for a comfortable draw. The overall style is undoubtedly vibrant and trendy, maintaining a rigorous self-requirement in e-cigarette design. Attention to detail is also quite thoughtful; each pod's bottom color represents its flavor, and the food-grade mouthpiece material has good toughness and impact strength, with excellent low-temperature toughness, ensuring comfort without affecting the overall appearance.

Usage tip: Each flavor pod comes in a sealed package. After tearing it open, you need to pull out the silicone stick (which requires some force) before inserting it into the device for use.

The kit includes a user manual.

【Flavors】

To meet different flavor preferences, the ESUN Yishuang S Pod Kit offers three flavor options: Chuanbei Loquat, Classic Tobacco, and Icy Mint. The Chuanbei Loquat package also includes a 0-nicotine capsule. While Chuanbei Loquat has 0 nicotine content, the other two flavors contain 5% nicotine (which is favored by former heavy smokers trying to quit). Personally, I found the Icy Mint flavor quite refreshing, especially during this hot summer.

As an e-cigarette that can achieve 0 nicotine content, it caters to many who want to quit smoking but fear the continued harm of nicotine. The Chuanbei Loquat flavor is not very pronounced, but you can definitely taste the fruitiness; the Classic Tobacco flavor, benefiting from the 5% nicotine content, has a stronger taste; similarly, the Icy Mint flavor with 5% nicotine provides a noticeable throat hit, feeling less dry than the Classic Tobacco, and is quite refreshing.

According to the official website, imported e-liquids are used, with a separation of the oil core, making the taste difference not very noticeable, but the vapor production is indeed significantly different.

【Capacity Output】

In terms of capacity, it has a 350mAh battery paired with a 1.6ml pod capacity. Based on my personal usage habits, one pod can consistently deliver around 500 puffs, lasting about two and a half days. The slight difference from the official theoretical 650 puffs is normal. What impressed me is that from the first puff to the last, the delicate and smooth taste remains.

In terms of oil guiding and penetration, it is quite rapid, and the heating is more even, with visible atomization effects. During use, I have not encountered any burnt coil issues. As for whether it is really as good as the official claims, I will share my experiences below.

When using e-cigarettes, we not only pay attention to the design and safety of materials but also the issue of oil leakage. During my testing over the holiday, I did not experience any oil leakage. Additionally, it can be seen that the bottom of the atomizer is equipped with well-sealed silicone plugs.

【Drawbacks】

Next, I will discuss its drawbacks. The flavor options are somewhat limited; however, as a kit that comes with three flavors, the official price is only 239 yuan, which is quite cost-effective. Personally, I prefer tropical fruit and vanilla flavors, which would require users to purchase other official flavor pods separately (the official site lists a total of 10 flavors). Furthermore, the breathing light design is not very prominent; it’s a bit small, and at first, I thought it was a separate air intake hole. Especially when using it in dark environments, the device does not highlight its coolness. If the logo “ESUN” on the body were designed as an LED ambient light, it would be even more perfect, although this would pose a new challenge for battery life!

User Experience:

After understanding the design and highlights of the ESUN Yishuang S Pod Kit, let’s talk about the actual user experience. First, the design is very compact and portable, making it easy to carry out. Secondly, as mentioned earlier, from the first puff to the last, it maintains a delicate and smooth taste. Compared to some pod systems where the flavor fades with each puff, this e-cigarette indeed achieves a rigorous pursuit of flavor.

If you want to try e-cigarettes and have high expectations for taste, appearance, and quality, the ESUN Yishuang S Pod Kit is a good choice. It looks great and performs well, and currently, it is considered a high cost-performance product in the market, which might become your long-term choice.
