Review of the ZERO Vape from LAMI: Pursuing the Ultimate Flavor Experience

The product we are reviewing today is Raimi ZERO Zero Plus“Equipment that heats and does not burn.

There are many new users who are foolish and confused about the concepts of heating without burning, electronic atomizing cigarettes, and electronic cigarettes. We can roughly understand this: There are many types of electronic cigarettes, such as atomizing cigarettes, heating without burning, etc. Cigarette bombs are electronic cigarettes made of tobacco oil. The working principle is that liquid atomizes to form steam, so they are called atomized cigarettes, vapor cigarettes, electronic atomized cigarettes, etc. Smoke bombs that are not burned when heated are solid, and smoke is formed by heating but not reaching a burning state.

Anyway, ZERO Zero Plus is a new category of HDB products (Heat Doesn t Burning) owned by Rami, including equipment and cigarettes.

#01. Packaging and Design

The packaging design of the equipment is simple and generous, with a brand logo on the front, and a transparent display of the equipment in the middle; there is a simple schematic diagram of how to use it on the back, and a two-dimensional code for use instructions is carefully placed. Scan the code to watch a 31-second video demonstration, which is considerate because the popularity of HDB products is not very high at this stage, and users really need a help guide the process when using it.

?

On one side is the product list (equipment + charging cord) and production information, and on the other side is information such as use warnings. We have noticed thatZERO zero-plusThe warning words are“Prohibition of sales to people under the age of 18“, this is similar to the current products“Prohibition of use by minors“More emphasis is placed on the main responsibility of the seller, which is an approach that keeps pace with the times.

?

The equipment is in the shape of an oblate column. Because the HDB requires higher batteries, it will be slightly fuller than the equipment for atomizing cigarettes, and the heating probe is in the middle.

There is a button and indicator light on the side. All operations during use are completed through this button and the indicator light informs you. The top is a cigarette bomb insertion port, the bottom is a Type-c charging interface, and there is an upper cover with a magnetic design on the top. Gently upward can help push out the used cigarette bomb.

Compared with equipment, the packaging of smoke bombs appears“luxury“This is also in line with the view of many people in the industry that compare equipment to lighters, with cigarettes being the core.

ZERO zero-plusCigarette bombs are divided into strips, with 10 boxes in each box, and each box has 20 bombs. Whether the packaging uses paper or the sense of design, it is eye-catching and will definitely be a high-end product. In order to quickly distinguish, products containing nicotine use a dark design and non-nicotine use a white design.

#p#Pagination Title #e#

We suspect that the design of Rimi must be detail-controlled, using five circles to express the strength of taste, mint, and nicotine, so that users can clearly understand the approximate taste tonality of the product before purchasing, and at the same time cleverly use three concentric ellipses designed to create a 0, and the strength of the relevant indicators can be experienced again through the filling of color blocks of the circles.

Both the outer box and the inner box have a prominent one“extraction“The word expresses that the products are extracted with real materials to maintain the original fragrance.

In addition, the outer packaging specifically states that this product is“Non-tobacco products“。

#02. How to Use

Operation Instructions

As we mentioned earlier, HDB products are a little different to use than plug-and-play aerosol products and require some simple operations to complete, so we have specially introduced the use methods and precautions.

Set temperature:Pressing the button quickly 3 times in 2 seconds while the shutdown state will enter the temperature setting mode, which can be selected from 3 gears.

Use:Pre-heating is needed before use. Press the button for 2 seconds, the equipment will vibrate, and the indicator light will flash from top to bottom. Wait for about 10 seconds for the three lights to fully measure and vibrate to remind you. You can use it at this time(It should be noted that it will automatically shut down 5 minutes after the heating is completed or about 15 puffs are inhaled)。

Notes:The needle at the top where the cigarette bomb is inserted is a heating rod. During use or just after use,Don't touch it., otherwise you may be burned. The heating stick has an automatic cleaning function. It is recommended to manually clean it with a cotton swab after a period of use.

#03. Taste and Experience

Let's briefly understand the parameters of the equipment:

size: 21X15.2X91.3mmNet weight: 36gMaterial process: aluminum + anodic oxidation

Battery capacity: 900mAh

Power: 15W

Temperature control: 300-330℃

Charging interface: Type-C

Overall, the battery capacity of 900 mAh is still strong. It can be used about 15 times. Although the working temperature is above 300 degrees during use, you can feel that the heat insulation is in place. The equipment can feel the temperature, but it will not feel hot. Of course, long-term continuous use is not recommended. The instructions suggest an interval of more than 5 minutes.

We have experienced a total of 5 flavors of cigarette bombs, namely 3 original flavor 353, original flavor 515 and light original flavor 313 containing nicotine, and 2 non-nicotine coffee 350 and coffee 530. We evaluated HDB products for the first time. Experience from the following dimensions helps everyone understand Rimi ZERO Zero Plus.

1、ZERO zero-plusThe difference between the experience and cigarettes and aerosol cigarettes

ZERO zero-plusThe first feeling at the entrance is that it is compliant, with less soot smell compared with cigarettes, and the temperature control is relatively stable, and the output from each sip is relatively stable and friendly.

ZERO zero-plusEquipment is relied on to heat the extracted solids to a level sufficient to restore nicotine and generate steam. Compared with e-vaping cigarettes, the throat strike and the amount of smoke are slightly weaker, but warm smoke and ritualistic smoking are more in line with the traditional taste and usage.

An important reason why HDB products are generally favored in the industry is experience, which has unique advantages in restoring pure taste and throat hitting feeling.

2. Differences in experience among the three original flavors

These three models all belong toZERO zero-plusIt is a more classic taste, among which Tanyuanxiang 313 should be a new taste.

Tanyuanxiang 313 interprets the perfect mix and match of tobacco and mint. In the aroma of flue-cured tobacco, the mint has a moderate coolness and a moderate throat-hitting feeling.

Original Fragrance 515 is slightly mint, has a strong aroma of tobacco and has a strong throat sensation. It is suitable for old smokers and may prefer it. 515 is also the one with the highest nicotine content among the three.

Original Fragrance 353, similar to double pop beads, has a cool mint feeling and a throat hit between 515 and 313.

3. Differences in experience between two zero-nicotine products

ZERO zero-plusCoffee 530 and Coffee 350, the overall feeling is mainly minty, supplemented by the flavor of coffee. You can feel a slight flavor of flue-cured tobacco in the aftertaste. Generally speaking, although it does not contain nicotine, it can still bring an adequate throat-hitting feeling.

The top 530 coffee is light mint, and the top 350 coffee is strong mint. In comparison, I personally feel that the top 530 has a richer sense of hierarchy and the aroma of coffee will not be concealed by mint.

4. Differences in experience under different working temperatures for the same cigarette bomb

We mentioned in how to use itZERO zero-plusThe equipment can adjust the temperature, and we have conducted multiple tests on the same cigarette bomb.

The medium temperature range should be able to meet the daily needs of the vast majority of users, and the comprehensive smoking experience in the face of different smoke bombs is above the standard; the high temperature range has greater strength and a more obvious feeling of hitting the throat. At the end, it is even like a metal box mini cigar passing through the lungs. It is very enjoyable and the taste is absolutely satisfying. Xiaobai users may "can't stand it" at once; the low temperature range is much gentler, especially when using zero-nicotine smoke bombs.# p#pagination title #e#

#04. Concluding remarks

Summarization

HDB products can be unfamiliar and familiar, because the IQOS we are familiar with (called HNB products in the industry and are currently contraband in China) is the first impression of many people on e-cigarettes, and the low market penetration makes some Domestic brands seem unfamiliar, but in 2021, we feel that HDB products are gradually emerging in the eyes of more and more users.

riceZERO zero-plusThere is an obvious similarity with the bomb-changing product, which is the ultimate pursuit of taste. We believe that such a product has enough reasons to be accepted by the market.
