Review of the minican+ E-liquid Filling Device from Aspire

The device reviewed this time is the minican+ produced by Aspire. This device is an upgraded version of the previous minican. It differs quite a bit from the minican in both appearance and specifications, but the pods are compatible across both models, giving users more options. Let’s take a look at how this device actually performs.

Inside the package, you get one device, one pod, one lanyard, one charging cable, and one English manual—a very simple setup. The first thing that stands out is the fully transparent body. This is the first time I’ve gotten a small device with this kind of fully transparent design, and you can clearly see all the internal components. The body is entirely plastic, though part of the battery section is covered with a carbon-fiber-patterned layer to keep it reasonably attractive. One big advantage of this fully transparent design is that you can easily see the remaining e-liquid level.

In terms of specifications, it has an 850 mAh battery, which provides enough endurance for heavy use, and it also comes with a 3 ml pod. The included marked pod is a 0.8-ohm pod, and a 1.0-ohm pod can be purchased separately later. It uses constant 3.7V output, so the 0.8-ohm pod outputs 17W, while the 1.0-ohm pod outputs 13W, allowing you to match it with suitable e-liquid accordingly. The draw is a mouth-to-lung draw; direct lung inhaling is relatively difficult. The atomization sound is fairly loud, but the vapor is extremely fine—finer than in previous products I’ve reviewed—and the vapor production is quite impressive.

The contact bay stays dry even after using several pods, which is a big plus

Now for the actual review. Based on the calculated wattage, I filled the 1.0-ohm pod with Witch Peach Oolong 35mg nicotine salt. The peach oolong flavor came through nicely, but the sweetness and cooling sensation were amplified significantly, putting it more in the range preferred by people who really like strong sweetness and chill. Personally, I don’t like that much, which also means this device is a bit selective about the e-liquid you pair with it. If I had to use nicotine salts with it, I would choose an e-liquid with lower sweetness and less cooling. In the 0.8-ohm pod, I used 6mg butter custard. The mouth-to-lung throat hit and flavor reproduction were both fine, but again the main issue was the very high sweetness. Compared with the 0.6-ohm Nautilus pod system, the sweetness here is even higher. So the same issue remains: it’s picky about e-liquid, and users who don’t like sweet flavors will need to choose lower-sweetness options.

The minican+ is a very convenient beginner-friendly device. Just fill it and use it. Battery life is more than sufficient, and the vapor is smooth and comfortable. If you can tolerate its relatively loud atomization sound and the way it noticeably amplifies sweetness and cooling, then it’s still a device I’d recommend. Thanks for watching, and see you next time.
