Gippro Longwu GP6 SE Review: Add Color, Refresh the Look!

We still vividly remember the gippro Longwu GP6 that we previously reviewed, where I described it as "good-looking and powerful." Indeed, the GP6 has a compact and exquisite appearance, with a smooth and gentle experience. Now, the GP6 has a new version, the GP6 SE, which has been upgraded both inside and out. Let's take a look together.

#01. Brand Background

About gippro

Gippro Longwu was established in Tokyo, Japan, adhering to the philosophy of "natural, healthy, and innovative," dedicated to bringing beneficial changes and enjoyment to users worldwide, and providing comprehensive solutions in the fields of health vaporization, CBD consumer products, and heated tobacco.

Since its establishment, gippro Longwu has formed long-term strategic partnerships with JinJia Group and Meirui Health International Industry Group, continuously developing and expanding in product research and brand building. Currently, it has established operational and research centers in regions including China, Japan, North America, Russia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, with global business rapidly expanding.

#02. Packaging and Design

The SE packaging design is quite delicate, with the overall color scheme based on the color of the vaporizer, for example, the packaging of the purple device showcases purple elements everywhere, making it easily recognizable. The details are also meticulously crafted, with raised texture printing techniques used for the vaporizer's effect images, logos, and more, providing a tactile experience.

The front features the logo model and product image, while the back displays relevant product information. We noticed that the SE's outer packaging has a significantly large nicotine warning, occupying over 30% of both sides, which may be related to the product's sale in foreign markets, such as the United States, where there are clear requirements for nicotine warning sizes on product packaging.

The SE adopts a single device configuration without added pods, which is currently a mainstream format, allowing users more choices when pairing pods. The vaporizer maintains a flat and rounded design, using a top-to-bottom gradient spray painting technique, said to be inspired by nature, showcasing the exploration of icy blue realms, vast golden sands, encounters with purple clouds, fresh breezes in the fields, and welcoming dawn in the blazing orange sun, transforming the various colors of nature into the SE held in hand.

Each set includes a lanyard that matches the color of the vaporizer, and a rubber ring with a mouthpiece cover, which is more hygienic and healthier.

In terms of vaporizer details, the top pod opening continues the smiley arc design of the GP6, compatible with GP6 pods, which is a thoughtful design. The bottom has been optimized from a round shape to a flat one, allowing it to stand upright when not in use, solving many hygiene concerns. The LED indicator has a new design, changing from a dot light to a larger hollow circular light, making the gradient jump more dynamic with each inhale and exhale.

The pod packaging gives off a strong Japanese fresh style, with a rich comic vibe, featuring a cartoon cat holding a pod for each flavor. Upon closer inspection, each cat's expression and action are unique, though the deeper meaning behind them remains unknown.

#03. Taste and Experience

Let's briefly understand the product parameters:

Size: Approximately 83.5X24.5X11.7mm

Body Material: Aluminum Alloy

Power: 10W (Constant Power Output)

Atomizer Core Resistance: 1.2Ω

Battery Capacity: 400mAh

Pod Capacity: 2.0ml

Battery Charging Time: Approximately 45 minutes

The SE's upgrade from the GP6 is not limited to its appearance; it also optimizes the Type-C charging port, improving charging efficiency by 40%. In terms of core features, the 10W constant power output combined with the updated pod structure significantly enhances both vapor volume and flavor reproduction, resulting in a richer and fuller taste.

Additionally, it has upgraded the low battery reminder function; when the battery level drops below 30%, the indicator light changes from white to red during operation. The previous GP6 did not have a low battery reminder, which was a common request from many long-time users. The newly upgraded SE balances both internal and external improvements, catering to user needs.

Alongside the SE, several new flavors of pods have been released, and we decided to try two summer flavors.

Rose Ice 3%

The overall flavor of the e-liquid is not complex; the rose flavor is not overly pronounced, allowing for a clear distinction of the rose taste upon inhalation. Exhaling brings a stunning sensation, with the floral fragrance of rose intertwining with the sweetness of mint, achieving a nearly perfect balance. A puff of chilled rose fragrance is simple yet pure, sweet enough to be addictive.

Sea Salt 3%

Upon opening, a salty citrus aroma mixed with lemon is immediately noticeable. Inhalation brings a wonderful hint of saltiness, accompanied by a full yet non-irritating lemon punch. Exhaling reveals a slight coolness that travels deep into the throat, satisfying cravings and refreshing. The naturally sun-dried sea salt meets fresh lemon, and on a hot summer day, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath feels like being at the sea, bringing an inner and outer sense of refreshment.

#04. Conclusion

Returning to our initial description of the gippro Longwu GP6 SE: it is a product that balances both internal and external qualities. Unlike many brands that continuously release new products, gippro Longwu chooses to upgrade its classic products, optimizing the product itself to keep pace with users' ever-increasing pursuit of experience while maintaining pod compatibility. This is undoubtedly a wise approach. We also look forward to gippro Longwu and all brands dedicated to quality products to thrive in the fiercely competitive e-cigarette market in the second half of the year.
