VIPVAPE V5 Heated Tobacco Device Review by Shenzhen VIP Technology Co., Ltd.

There are currently two main categories of e-cigarettes, namely: heated atomized e-cigarettes using the conventional atomizing e-cigarette liquid method, and heated non-combustible e-cigarettes using the specific heating special cigarette bomb method. The former is currently very mature. After several years of development, several generations of products from many well-known brands have appeared on the market. The latter is currently mainly the dominant company. In fact, this standard is also customized by it. This is Marlboro's parent company, Philip Morris Tobacco International Group, and its representative product is iQOS.

  The cartridge heated by the heated non-combustible e-cigarette is not made directly from tobacco rolls, but is made from special paper and fully soaked in tobacco extract.However, since it is still a product of tobacco, under the control of my country's strict tobacco monopoly system, such cigarettes cannot be sold freely. However, because this type of e-cigarettes has a taste very close to that of cigarettes, and its non-burning working principle can greatly reduce the harmful substances during smoking and the harm of second-hand smoke, even under various restrictions, it does not hinder it. Seeing fashionable and healthy people using devices such as iQOS in the streets, cafes, and restaurants, it shows that the potential market for this type of products is surprisingly large!

The result of monopoly will inevitably be huge profits,iQOS's high-priced strategy is also a pain point that has been criticized by users。In this context, a large number of domestically produced heating and non-burning equipment have begun to emerge. They have similar working principles, good compatibility, and even better heating performance and longer battery life to meet the different needs of users. Personalization needs. Today is such a new heating and non-burning product, VIPVAPE V5, produced by Shenzhen Weiaipin Technology Co., Ltd.

This VIPVAPE V5 e-cigarette is perfectly compatible with iQOS cigarette cartridges. It has an integrated design, light and compact, and it is very convenient to use as a portable cigarette replacement.

The VIPVAPE V5 has a built-in 850mAh large-capacity battery, which is much larger than the iQOS stand-alone device, so it can fight continuously without having to rely on the charging box to wait for charging.

The improved ceramic heater adopts a working method similar to iQOS, allowing old iQOS users to adapt seamlessly.

Single-button operation, multi-color LED lights, vibration reminders, and automatic heating without having to operate during smoking bring a very satisfying experience. Shenzhen Weiaipin Technology Co., Ltd. VIPVAPE V5 Heating Non-Burning Electronic Cigarette Evaluation   [Packaging and parameter measurement]

This time, we received a complete retail version of the packaging, which was covered with a disposable sealing film when we arrived to ensure that the products received by consumers were brand new and complete.

The packaging box is black all over, with a business style. The front is very simple. There is only a three-dimensional embossed real picture of the product, and the round sticker on the upper right is used to identify the product color. The back is printed with a packing list, manufacturer information, bar codes, and anti-counterfeiting labels in Chinese. The VIPVAPE brand logo is printed in hot silver on both sides, and the top and bottom are blank.

Pushing open the outermost sleeve packaging paper, the inner box is buckled up and down, and the inner box is covered with a transparent hollow area so that the product can be directly seen. The upper cover is removed, and the e-cigarette main unit is fixed in a customized foam material.

Remove all packaging, and the product list obtained is: 1 VIPVAPE V5 mainframe, 10 cleaning alcohol cotton wands, 1 cleaning brush, 1 MicroUSB charging cable, 1 warranty card, manual, and certificate. Note that the packaging does not contain smoke bombs. This is also the need for current domestic tobacco monopoly control. Users need to use their own magic weapon to purchase such smoke bombs.

The instructions in the package are in English and Chinese, and are printed in color and text, which is of high quality. On the first page of the manual, it is stated that this product uses TCO protection, which will be a very big advantage over iQOS, which means that the chance of its red light burning board will be greatly reduced.

The charging cord equipped in the package is a standard MicroUSB cord, made of braided cord and of good quality.

When I first opened the row of small Dongdong that looked like toothpick bags in the accessory package, it was actually disposable alcohol cotton swabs. You can tear the package from the middle and use it. It can be used together with the brush to clean up the residual tar and carbon deposits on the heating sheet. Other impurities.

Remove the VIPVAPE V5 e-cigarette, which is made of plastic and very light.

Measured measurements: 120mm in length, 20mm in width, and 17mm in thickness at the thickest part. The measurements are about the same size as a cigar. #p#Pagination Title #e#Shenzhen Weiaipin Technology Co., Ltd. VIPVAPE V5 Heating Non-Burning Electronic Cigarette Evaluation Its overall weight is only 33 grams, which is very lightweight for a smoking set with a built-in 850mAh battery.

  [Overall appearance and structure]

The VIPVAPE V5 received this time is black. According to the official reminder, it also has a white model. Looking at it from the front, the VIPVAPEV5 is very similar to a small cigarette all-in-one product for steam cigarettes. Black plastic, comprehensive matte treatment, the surface treatment is very smooth, the workmanship is still very delicate, quite a bit of a metal shell, although the overall situation will not appear very high-end, it will not appear cheap due to rough workmanship.

There is a round button in the upper middle of the front. It is made of plastic and looks like an ignition button. In fact, it is the operating button of the VIPVAPE V5. You don't need to press any buttons when you formally smoke.

The radar-style window above the button is an LED shade, through which the internal LED lights are displayed. When various operations are carried out, it will light up in green, blue, red and other colors, as will be described in the operation section later.

Above the button is a manual cigarette cartridge eject slide button. Push it upward to easily separate the cigarette cartridge from the heating sheet. The surface of the button is designed with small round and point-like anti-slip particles to increase the friction when pushing.

The VIPVAPE brand LOGO is silk-screened on the front near the top. It is a smoke bomb fixing cover, and the cover is differentiated. It uses a surface polishing process, so it will have a little mirror effect.

The design of the back is relatively simple. The upper part is designed as a groove for easy holding, and the lower part is the same as the front part, without any functions placed for easy holding in the palm.

Several anti-slip horizontal grains are also engraved in this groove to improve the feel when holding. Another effect is estimated to be to provide certain heat insulation and heat dissipation effects.

When smoking, you can hold the VIPVAPE V5 with your fingers against this position. However, during actual use, especially during continuous smoking, the heat in this part is relatively high. Although it is not so hot that you can't hold it, the experience of holding it will be worse. It is recommended to hold the lower part at this time. It is more comfortable to design its length to 120 mm.

The product model V5, CE certification and classification recycling marks are printed on the bottom of the back.

The bottom is narrowed and a MicroUSB standard charging interface is placed in the middle of the bottom. Charging takes about 1.5 hours when the battery is exhausted. The small hole on it is not an indicator light. The charging indicator light is at the LED light on the front button. It is analyzed that this small hole should be the air inlet hole of the entire e-cigarette. From the perspective of the opening, it is relatively small and provides a firmer suction resistance., very close to the suction resistance of cigarettes.

The integrated side design is relatively small overall. As mentioned above, the top cover has a slightly different polishing effect.

The cigarette inlet at the top has a smooth transition and feels smooth, and the cigarette cartridge is inserted from here.

Gently pull it upward to remove the cigarette bomb fixing cover. Pay attention to the positioning groove on the cover, so it is directional when installing it. Be careful not to install it upside down, as insertion will damage the buckle.

There is a smoke bomb guide groove inside the cover. The size of the opening is very accurate. The measured resistance when the smoke bomb is inserted is moderate. It will not be too narrow to damage the smoke bomb, nor will it fall out when it is thrown too loose.

It can be seen from this direction that the heating plate is similar in shape to the iQOS heating plate. The top is sharpened to facilitate the insertion of the cigarette bomb. The flat heating plate has a round heating wire to increase the heating area and improve heating efficiency. The overall heating plate is made of ceramic material and looks of good quality.

From the top view, two semicircular slots are opened at the bottom end of the interior to receive smoke condensate, tar, etc. generated during the heating process. Remember to use more brushes to clean it.

From the side, the working principle of the cigarette bomb ejection button is also very simple. It is a purely physical displacement method. By pushing it, the cigarette bomb can be removed from the heating sheet for a distance, and then the cigarette bomb can be easily pulled out. The existence of this button is quite necessary because the cigarette cartridge will sometimes stick to the heating sheet after heating. The filter tip of the cigarette cartridge directly may only pull out the outer skin, leaving the inside in a mess. Push it with this button and then pull it out, and there will be no such trouble. Shenzhen Weiaipin Technology Co., Ltd. VIPVAPE V5 Heating Non-Burning Electronic Cigarette Evaluation #p#Pagination Title #e# [VIPVAPE V5 heating and non-burning operation]

Enter the actual testing session. The demonstration here uses the Russian version of the Heets cigarette cartridge dedicated to iQOS. Insert the cigarette cartridge from the cigarette inlet, insert it down to the bottom, and fix it. Note that since the heating sheet is flat, do not rotate the cigarette cartridge after insertion to avoid deformation or even breaking of the heating sheet.

Next, press and hold the key for 3 seconds to turn on the VIPVAPE V5 switch.

After holding for 3 seconds to turn on the machine, the LED light at the button will flash green 5 times, indicating that the machine was successfully turned on. Since your fingers will block the LED light, it may not be possible to observe it. You can hold down most of the keys to expose a little light to observe. It would be nice if we could design it to vibrate. Similarly, press and hold for 3 seconds to turn off the machine, and the LED lights flash white 5 times before turning off.

After booting up, quickly press the ON button three times, the body will vibrate, and the blue light will start to flash, indicating that the machine has begun to preheat the cigarette bomb. About 10 seconds later, the fuselage will vibrate again, indicating that the warm-up was successful and you can start smoking at this time. Smoking in this way will get almost the same taste as smoking a cigarette (provided you accept the taste of external smoke), and there is no ash at all.

  There is no need to press any buttons during the smoking process. The machine has two criteria for termination: 4 minutes, or 14 breaths (first come, first stop). At 3 minutes and 40 seconds, or 12 breaths, the host computer will vibrate, and then the blue light flashes, and then smoke for another 20 seconds, or 2 breaths. The blue light goes out, and the machine enters standby mode. Cigarette smokers like equa never wait for 4 minutes and basically stop. During the working process of the mainframe (preheating or heating), quickly press the key for 3 seconds to cancel the current operation and enter the standby state. However, the actual measurement of this cigarette bomb is basically useless.

After smoking, also be careful not to rotate the cigarette bomb. Push the cigarette eject button to push the cigarette bomb out a short distance, and then you can pull it out directly. The effect of pulling out the used cigarette bomb is as shown below.

Let's take a look at its heating state. From this final form, we can also judge its heated taste. According to equa measurement, its taste is similar to that of iQOS. The taste of the smoke is full and strong, but there is no burnt taste. Overall, it gives full play to the taste of the Heets cigarette bomb, even more comfortable than smoking a real cigarette. The experience is quite excellent!

If you take it apart again, the overall heating is still very thorough. Except for the tobacco paper on the outermost ring, which has some primary colors, the rest have basically been heated to a deep brown color. In this way, the function of the cigarette bomb can be fully exerted and waste can be avoided. Of course, what is more important is that it can bring a sufficient full taste.

Several points during the test:

1. Measured VIPVAPE V5 can start the next cycle immediately after completing a cycle.

2. If a cigarette bomb is not pulled out, it can be heated for several cycles, which is equivalent to smoking a cigarette all the way to the bottom of the cigarette and then taking a few mouthfuls. However, there is basically no flavor at the beginning of the second cycle.

3. After measuring one cigarette bomb, insert the second cigarette bomb immediately and smoke it. This operation is no problem.

4. During the second consecutive cycle, the fuselage became slightly heated. Although it was not so hot that it could not be held, the upper part was slightly uncomfortable to hold. At this time, there was no problem holding the lower half of the fuselage.

5. The measured V5 ceramic heating sheet has very little residue after heating, and generally does not need to be cleaned frequently. However, it is recommended to clean it after an average pack of smoke bombs. Use a brush to brush it once. In case of stubborn oily residues, you can wipe it with an alcohol cotton swab in the package and remove it. Shenzhen Weiaipin Technology Co., Ltd. VIPVAPE V5 Heating Non-Burning Electronic Cigarette Evaluation [Experience]

The VIPVAPE V5 is very light in weight and has very small measurements. It is similar to a cigar when held in the hand, and it feels no burden at all when using it. This will be very convenient whether you use it at home or carry it out. In operation, you don't need to press any buttons after the preheating is completed. It's very simple to smoke a cigarette directly after lighting.

In previous evaluations, the author has mentioned many times that this method of heating and not burning cigarettes has at least three advantages: 1. Smokers can accept it without adapting at all;2. They do not drop ash, do not stain the room, and do not burn the baby JJ;3. They do not burn, so the intake of carbon monoxide and tar in cigarettes is very small or even no, making them very healthy. The VIPVAPE V5 fully uses the function of this cigarette bomb in the forward direction. The measured taste, smoke volume, temperature, and battery life are all satisfactory.# p#pagination title #e#

When using VIPVAPE V5 with cigarette bombs, smokers only feel that they have a different flavor of cigarettes, but still think they are smoking. The difference between this and steam cigarettes is still very obvious. Of course, steam smoke is healthier in principle, and the play of large smoke is not something that can be achieved by this kind of small smoke that is heated but not burned. The only difference between VIPVAPE V5 and cigarettes may be that you can't hold a cigarette in your mouth and free your hands to watch games and battles. That's all.

Of course, this is not to say that this type of equipment has no shortcomings. In fact, at present, there is still a considerable gap that needs to be overcome in its large-scale promotion in China: under my country's extremely strict tobacco monopoly system environment, it is impossible for any company to buy such cigarettes through formal channels on a regular tobacco monopoly or online e-commerce platform, unless you bring them back from abroad (and the number is limited to 2). In fact, even iQOS devices are banned. Personally, I feel that unless China Tobacco Group also develops similar equipment and China Tobacco takes the lead in promoting national-roasted tobacco-type cigarettes (currently on the market) on a large scale in tobacco monopolies in various places, it may be the time for this technology to truly blossom everywhere.

Things are good things, but if you have to ask friends to go abroad to help bring them back every time, it is not a daily life, but a luxury. This is why the author came into contact with iQOS two years ago and insisted on abandoning it after a few months. The biggest reason for switching to steam smoke. If you have a regular friend who helps you buy cigarettes, or if you are in Japan or Russia, this is definitely a great way to enjoy it.

In terms of battery life, it is measured that this VIPVAPE can smoke about 12 cigarette bombs on a single charge, and more than half a pack of cigarettes. It supports charging the charging treasure at any time, and it can be fully charged in about an hour and a half, so when not in use, you can hang up the charging treasure and charge it in scattered times, so that the use of the whole day will be smoother. In the power-on state, press the turn-on button to display the battery power. The blue light is above 60%, the green light is 20%-60%, and the red light is below 20%. Charging is needed.

[Summary]

The VIPVAPE V5 adopts an integrated design with built-in 850mAh power, abandoning the design of the charging box, which makes it more convenient to use when going out. The heating effect looks similar to that of native iQOS. It can also provide perfect compatibility with iQOS bombs and obtain a comparable taste. It was found that its pilot price was 398 yuan, and there may be more benefits in later promotions. From this point of view, its price/performance ratio is much higher than that of parallel imported iQOS equipment without warranty. For users who are using similar products, it undoubtedly provides a better choice and is worth recommending!
