MOX REVO low-temperature heated tobacco device review

With the explosive growth of the e-cigarette industry in recent years, as e-cigarette products gradually move from professional groups to larger general consumer-level groups (smokers), the products are also undergoing qualitative changes. As a category of e-cigarettes, the same is true for low-temperature non-burning e-cigarettes. From IQOS being the only one to the current blooming flowers, although we have not yet reached the point where hundreds of schools of thought contend, we have indeed seen changes in these products and the innovation of products in terms of professionalism and functionality.REVO low-temperature non-burning e-cigarette evaluation：
designed
In terms of design alone, you will find that REVO is high-end. The painted surface of the whole machine makes REVO appear elegant, and the black color matching adds a little dignity and is full of business style. Of course, such a surface is also a fingerprint collector, and frequent wiping is inevitable. If EDGE's aluminum alloy appearance and colorful color matching are for young people, then there is no doubt that REVO must be for business people or mature people with certain experience.
The upper and lower ends of REVO are designed with closed ends, giving a strong overall feeling. There is also a chrome-plated ring at the connection between the silver smoke cap and the black body. Under the chrome-plated ring is a round opening key, and in the center of the round key is an indicator light. The long host makes this round button a little obtrusive. Personally, I think that the long opening button will be more harmonious. Fortunately, the touch of the switch is very comfortable, and the feedback is clear when pressed. On the right side of the fuselage of the switch, there is a toggle switch. This is the temperature adjustment switch, which is also a special place for REVO. What it does is we will describe in detail below.
We can vaguely see the black MOX LOGO directly below the opening key, and the unhighlighted logo corresponds to the overall design concept. At the bottom is the charging interface. When you pull off the cigarette cap, you can see the heating needle inside. There is a metal sleeve on the periphery of the heating needle. I think the design of the metal sleeve can be said to achieve multiple goals with one stone. It can not only protect the heating needle, but also fix the smoke cap. At the same time, since the smoke cartridge slot of the smoke cap is inserted in the metal sleeve, it also serves as internal insulation. External heat dissipation.
What we should focus on here is the laminated design on both sides of the whole machine. It makes the overall design very unique and recognizable, and increases the feel of holding and is very comfortable.
styles
As mentioned above, the overall style of REVO is business-oriented. It's smaller and looks only slightly fatter than an IQOS tobacco rod. The process of baking paint is like a high-end signature pen. Generally speaking, it is high-end, atmospheric and high-end.
At the same time, the simple style is fully reflected in REVO. Whether it is EDGE before or REVO now, you can't see anything superfluous. You will never see what you should and shouldn't see on REVO. Due to the size factor, the built-in battery has been reduced to 700mAh, which is 300mAh less than the previous EDGE. This is also a trade-off in pursuit of style and a change due to changes in the target user base. Sometimes this trade-off can play a decisive role.
Due to its business style, REVO has only one color choice, black and silver. A little pity! I think even business style can have multiple color choices, such as dark blue, dark red, pure white, etc. Business can also have some personality!
qualities
Again, REVO's manufacturing process is excellent, and I am really proud of our manufacturing industry.& rdquo;
The whole machine does not have a screw from top to bottom, and the joints are also tightly sewn. The same is true where you can see it, and the same is true where you can't see it. After pulling out the smoke cap, you still couldn't find the screws, and the metal sleeve was very tight around it. In fact, I really hope that the material of REVO is also made of metal. It feels a little cold and has a little weight to hold. It must be cool! By reducing the thickness of the chassis, can you increase some electricity? It's just a personal preference, purely a desire.
If I have to say anything less, the charging port at the bottom of my evaluation device is a bit crooked. Of course, this does not affect charging, but it would be perfect if this detail could be noticed.
Innovation #p#pagination title #e#
Users who have used IQOS know that when using mint cigarettes, because the heating temperature is the same as that of conventional cigarettes, the mint taste will appear very strong to some people. So MOX has specially designed the temperature adjustment function for REVO.
When using a regular cigarette cartridge, you can push the switch up to display it in orange, which is the standard high temperature mode; when you use a mint cigarette cartridge, you can push the switch down to display it in green, which will change to Low temperature mode. In the low-temperature mode, the mint cigarette will be less pungent and the taste will be significantly softer.
This is not a new concept, but when applied to it, starting with the actual needs of mint-flavored cigarettes, combining simple concepts with mature functions, I think this is an innovation. Innovation should be the courage to try, rather than blindly inventing and creating.
the portability
With such measurements of 111mm 18mm 15mm, portability is self-evident. The plastic material of the whole machine weighs only 28g, which is so light that it has no friends. You can put it wherever you want, without any pressure.
However, REVO does not design any dust proof accessories at the top of the cigarette mouth, nor does it even have a separate dust proof plug. I have always been looking forward to seeing a dust cover that can be automatically opened and closed by just rotating the housing. It is invincible and portable and has a feel to use. Can MOX consider it?
characteristics of
Here we want to introduce two special functions of REVO, temperature regulation and heating cycle regulation. Temperature adjustment has been described above and is very simple to use. The physical switch on one side of the body controls both high temperature and low temperature modes. When using a regular cigarette bomb, the orange gear is used, and when using a mint cigarette bomb, the green gear is used. It is easy to understand and convenient.
What is the specific function of heating cycle adjustment? In fact, it is easy to understand. MOX sets the occasion for users to smoke and pre-sets two cycle times for users, which are 3.5 minutes and 5 minutes respectively. If you are pumping normally, 5 minutes is a standard pattern. But if you are in an environment where you need to quickly relieve your addiction, the 3.5-minute setting here may work to meet your need for rapid smoking.
Press and hold the ON key for 2 seconds under the shutdown state, the green light flashes quickly twice to indicate a 3.5-minute cycle; the yellow light flashes slowly 3 times to indicate a 5-minute cycle. In actual use, I found that you need to press and hold the key for 4 seconds to activate the settings. Everyone should pay attention when using it, it's not that the host is broken! It's the instructions that have gone astray.
However, I think switching such settings is a bit troublesome, and time switching is not the most commonly used function. Users may not be able to memorize the operation by heart. When using it properly, they may forget these steps or forget the time represented by flashing lights. Moreover, setting it when it is turned off is in line with the usage process (when I need to smoke, the default host is turned off), but the usage scenarios are diverse. If I am still in the power up state, I have to shut down first before setting it up, which is a bit troublesome. The best way I can think of here is actually on the mainframe, which is a physical switch similar to temperature adjustment, marked with the numbers 3.5 and 5, and pushed up and down to switch, OK! Solve everything.
how to use
The specific operation and use of REVO is similar to IQOS. Let's briefly introduce it.
Press the switch key 5 times in 2 seconds, turn on the machine, and insert the cigarette bomb;
Press and hold on for 3 seconds, the equipment vibrates once, the white light flashes, and begins to warm up;
Vibration once after 10 seconds, the white light is always on, and suction begins;
5 minutes (or 3.5 minutes) or after 15 puffs, the red light will turn on;
20 seconds or after 2 puffs, vibrate once, the light goes out, and take out the smoke bomb.
The same is true for shutting down. Press the ON key 5 times within 2 seconds to shut down, or if there is no operation for 15 minutes, the equipment will automatically shut down.
It is worth mentioning that in fact, during the heating process of the equipment, as long as the key is pressed for 2 seconds, the heating cycle will be manually stopped and the equipment will directly enter the standby state. This makes me think about a question. If users can stop heating at any time during use, in some cases, they can indeed stop the suction process manually. So what is the meaning of 3.5 minutes? In fact, it is very simple, it lies in the time reminder. Just think of it as an alarm clock. This is the process of the user actively selecting the time before using it, and manual stopping must be the process of the user passively ending smoking. The logic of the function still needs to be differentiated, so they are not in conflict and not redundant.# p#pagination title #e#
Finally, if you delay removing the cigarette bomb, you can first pull the cigarette cap up a little before removing the cigarette bomb, and then remove the cigarette bomb. It will be much easier.
self-cleaning mode
Speaking of self-cleaning mode, this is a feature that IQOS does not have. We are at“ [Detailed Comment Rabbit] MOX EDGE low-temperature non-burning e-cigarettes| Is IQOS ready to take over?" rdquo; There has been a detailed introduction. Since the operation is exactly the same, we will not repeat the explanation here. We will simply introduce the operation. Interested friends can refer to our previous articles.
In standby state, pull out the cigarette cap, press the ON button 3 times in 2 seconds to turn on the self-cleaning mode
The indicator light will flash alternately between red and green for 30 seconds, working in self-cleaning mode
The indicator light goes off, self-cleaning ends, and manual cleaning can be carried out in 1 minute
A brush comes with the package, and officials recommend cleaning it every 20 cigarettes after smoking.
properties
REVO's performance is still quite satisfactory, and you may be surprised by the temperature switching and cycle time switching functions. The heating needle in previous EDGE reviews proved not to be much different. This time, the REVO has the same heating needle configuration. The difference is that after the smoke cap is removed, the outer ring of the heating needle also has a metal sleeve, and the height exceeds the heating needle itself, so it is safer.
Let's continue to discuss the difference between REVO and IQOS heating methods. Why did we find in the last review that there was not much difference between the two in actual use? We can see that the actual heating method is through direct contact between the heater and the tobacco, and the original flavor of the tobacco is released through baking through heat. Both the heating needle and the heating sheet itself will heat the tobacco to 350 ° C, so the heating method of the cigarette cartridge is not the only factor affecting the taste. What is important is whether it is heated to the required temperature and whether the tobacco is uniformly heated to the right temperature.
We will find that cigarette bombs are inserted into a relatively enclosed space, as long as the temperature of the tobacco can be heated to 350 ° C in this space. On this premise, I think REVO is better than EDGE and closer to the IQOS system. They all have two layers of metal and plastic insulation in this space, which can effectively ensure the maintenance of the temperature in the space.
Returning to the heating method, in such a small space, I think the difference caused by the difference in heating method is very, very small. You can say that the heating plate has a larger contact area and the effect is better, but I think no matter which heating method, the cigarette can be heated to the required temperature in such a small space. The difference here is reflected in efficiency and continuity, which is also related to the taste and taste when you smoke. However, it should be noted that we cannot judge whether the heating is sufficient based on the charred state of the cigarette bomb, because I found that the best taste of this type of cigarette bomb is not produced when the tobacco is completely charred. On the contrary, proper heating and baking It tastes best when it is not charred.
So I think this is the reason why the difference between REVO and IQOS is very small. Of course, compared with my other EDGE, REVO will be better and more functional.
Electric battery continues
REVO is smaller, so its battery has shrunk. It has a built-in 700mAh lithium battery. Officials claim that it can support at least 8 heating cycles, or 8 cigarette bombs. Compared with EDGE's 15 smoke bombs, it is nearly half the number.
It's not difficult to understand. EDGE's single heating cycle is 4 minutes, while REVO's standard cycle is 5 minutes, so if you want to smoke more cigarettes, you can set the heating cycle to 3.5 minutes. The number of mouthfuls here is actually about the same. It's inevitable to charge more than one day. How do you choose between size and battery life?
It takes about 60 minutes for REVO from being charged to being fully charged, and it is strongly requested to add fast charging function. Let us quote a quote to express our hope. Charge for 5 minutes and pump for 2 hours. Cool!
evaluations
The evaluation results of REVO this time are still satisfactory, and the addition of some special features really adds some competitiveness to it. The temperature adjustment function allows you to experience a milder and cool mint flavor, and you can also easily switch to regular mode to enjoy regular cigarettes. It's a pity that the battery capacity has shrunk, but you can freely choose the heating cycle time, pumping time and battery life. Make your own choice. The more business-like style also makes it different from its brother product EDGE. Which one suits you more?# p#pagination title #e#
I think there are still some aspects of REVO that can be optimized. For example: choose more colors, or add different colors of cigarette caps, business needs to be personalized; make it more convenient to set the cycle time, the existing settings are still a bit cumbersome; add a dust cover for a rotary switch; support fast charging function; or how about a wired charging dock? Of course, even without these, REVO is a very complete low-temperature non-burning e-cigarette that I think is worth recommending.
