Review of the MOX Edge heat-not-burn vaping device

Since the World Health Organization called for global tobacco control several years ago, smoking control has become a shared topic around the world. Beyond smoking bans in public places, guiding smokers to consciously reduce tobacco consumption has become
Since the WHO issued a global tobacco control initiative a few years ago, tobacco control has become a common topic in all countries. In addition to bans in public places, how to guide smokers to consciously control the amount of smoking is an extremely important content, which is also inspired by this. A series of cigarette replacement products have been launched, including equipment, drugs, courses, etc. Looking at the equipment alone, it is currently moving in two directions. One is the evaporation of e-cigarette liquid as the core, which is the familiar vapor e-cigarette; the other is the heating and non-burning technology led by tobacco giant Philip Morris, representing the product iQOS.

In all fairness, as an old smoker who has smoked for more than 10 years and has tried hundreds of e-cigarette devices, the author evaluates that accepting vapor smoke requires a process, while heating and non-burning devices such as iQOS basically do not need to adapt. It is not a simulation of the taste of a cigarette. It is basically the taste of a cigarette. However, at this stage, due to my country's strict tobacco monopoly system, although iQOS's cigarettes are not tobacco, but special paper soaked in tobacco extract, they are still tobacco products and need to be controlled. Therefore, iQOS equipment The purchase channels have greatly restricted the development of such equipment in China. MOX Edge heating does not burn e-cigarette review On the other hand, the high price of iQOS is also a factor restricting its popularity. However, for Shenzhen, which is at the forefront of global technological development, there is no alternative equipment that cannot be found. Today, it is such a thing that enters the evaluation room. A heating and non-burning product that can completely replace or even surpass iQOS,MOX Edge, produced by Shenzhen Luxinfeng Technology Co., Ltd.

This MOX Edge e-cigarette is perfectly compatible with iQOS cigarette cartridges. It has patented heating needle technology and is light and compact. It is very convenient to use as a portable cigarette replacement.

It adopts a built-in battery integrated design, and the battery capacity is much larger than iQOS, so it can fight continuously without having to sleep and wait for charging.

Single-button operation, vibration reminder, automatic heating without needing to operate during smoking, self-cleaning function, and patented heating needle soft and full taste bring a very satisfying experience.

After reading the previous features, if you are interested, please walk into today's MOX Edge review with equa to find out.

[Packaging and parameter measurement]

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

The packaging box has a minimalist white background, which looks clean and tidy. The front is a three-dimensional embossed freehand print of the product. The MOX brand logo above is highlighted in anti-red. This LOGO design is relatively simple. At first glance, I thought it was an M.X brand. The back is blank, with only a piece of label paper pasted on it, and the packing list, manufacturer information, etc. are printed in very small fonts. The red round sticker shows that the contents of the box are red. The MOX logo is printed on both sides, and the slogan Change With Less is printed above and below. I personally feel that MOX Edge has done it.

Opening the packaging with the upper and lower buttons, you can see that the e-cigarette main unit is fixed in a customized plastic mold. MOX Edge heating does not burn e-cigarette review Remove all packaging, get the product list:MOX Edge host 1, cleaning brush 1, MicroUSB charging cable 1, manual 1, the whole is very simple. Note that the packaging is not containing smoke bombs, which gives the user experience to some direct enough (equa is also entrusted to friends hard to get smoke bombs), but the strict domestic tobacco management system, estimated that this is also a difficult point.

The instructions in the package are only English and Japanese. They are printed in color and text and are of high quality, but it is not friendly to have no Chinese. This product is the exclusive agent of Donghe Commerce Co., Ltd. and is mainly for export, so it is understandable. I hope that in the future, Chinese instructions can be provided when it is listed in China and retail.

Small and medium-sized brushes are very practical, which will be discussed later. The MicroUSB charging cable is a noodle cable, which looks of good quality.

Taking out the e-cigarette, for the author who abandoned iQOS and switched to steam cigarettes (the reasons will be detailed later), at first sight, I thought it was a small cigarette, and its size and weight were very close to that of a small cigarette.

Measured measurements: 115mm in length, 20mm in width, and 15mm in thickness at the thickest part, which is similar to the size of an ordinary small cigarette.

The overall weight is only 37 grams, making it easy to use when going out. MOX Edge heating does not burn e-cigarette review [Overall Appearance and Structure]#p#Pagination Title #e#

The MOX Edge received this time is a red model. When viewed from the front, it looks like a small cigarette all-in-one product for steam cigarettes. The aluminum alloy shell is matched with black plastic, the matte painting process, and the workmanship is still quite delicate. For old smokers, if such small things related to cigarettes are not exquisite enough, they should not be recognized.

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

The small hole on the button is actually an LED light. When various operations are carried out, it will light up in white, green, blue, red and other colors, as will be described in the operation section later.

The MOX brand LOGO is silk-printed on the lower position on the front, and the details are handled very carefully. But you can scrape it off with hard scraping. I believe you won't see it after a year of use.

The design on the back is very simple, without any buttons or openings, providing a good grip. The CE certification mark,5V 1A charging data, and 1000mAh battery capacity are printed on the bottom position on the back. Note that this battery capacity is very important. China civil aviation must indicate the capacity before releasing the batteries when flying. For iQOS without standard capacity, to be honest, there is a risk of confiscation when flying.

For this little guy who weighs only 37 grams, it is not easy to have such power. The measured battery life is indeed quite good. The measured battery life can be smoked 15 to 18 cigarette bombs (depending on the frequency of smoking). Moreover, due to the large capacity, compared to iQOS's design of charging after smoking one (of course, this also has its scientific point, which allows you to control tobacco). This allows you to fight continuously and get addicted.

You can see the standard MicroUSB charging interface on the left side. You can charge it by measuring the charging treasure, but it does not support charging while using it. A round brass contact can be seen on its right side, which has nothing to do with the smoking function after testing. Equa speculated that this was an electric shock from its external charging, that is, it may also have a design for a portable battery box. There is also a small notch on the far right, which is the positioning pin of the upper cover. When inserted, a clear click sound will be heard, indicating that the insertion is in place.

The right side is even the same as the left side, except for the missing charging port.

The top cigarette inlet is equipped with a silicone plug to prevent dust and cleaning and effectively prevent foreign matter from entering.

Remove the silicone plug to expose the cigarette inlet inside, and plug the cigarette bomb in here. When we first got it, since the packaging was not equipped with cigarette bombs,equa speculated whether it was possible to heat the cigarettes, used various methods to waste five or six cigarettes, and then confirmed that it could only use special cigarette bombs.

Pulling open the plastic upper cover, you can see that it has no 510 interface, only a heating needle, a ceramic shell, and a I-shaped heating wire can be vaguely seen in the inner core. It is said that the manufacturer has applied for a patent, and its heating method is central circumferential diffusion. When the cartridge is inserted, a round hole will be formed in the cartridge (shown by the arrow in the figure below). Unlike iQOS, which is a flat heating plate, which will have a flat hole after the cartridge is inserted. Therefore, although the two work methods are similar, But the working principle is actually different.

It is designed with a circular groove at the bottom, and there are 4 small holes in the round hole. The actual measurement does not affect air intake or heat dissipation. It is speculated that there may be no specific use.

Equa did find that one advantage of its design is that it can accommodate the silicone dust plug on the head to prevent it from being lost after use.

[MOX Edge heating without burning operation]

Start actual testing to see how it experiences heating without burning? 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. Its size is very precise, and iQOS smoke bombs can be easily inserted and then not easily dropped out. Cigarette insertion is more difficult, but of course, as mentioned earlier, it is not designed for use with cigarettes.

Then press the on key five times, and the LED lights will turn on white, indicating power on. This MOX Edge is designed to save power by automatic standby. If it is not operated for a few minutes, it will automatically shut down, which is one of the reasons why its battery life is relatively strong. So basically when you think about smoking, you have to press five to turn on the phone.

Then press the key for a few seconds, the body will vibrate, and the blue light will start flashing, indicating that the machine has begun to preheat the smoke cartridge. About 10 seconds later, the body will vibrate again, indicating that the preheating was successful and you can start smoking. Smoking in this way will give you almost the same taste as smoking a cigarette (provided you accept the taste of external smoke), and there is no ash at all.

The smoking process does not need to press any buttons. The machine has two criteria for termination:4 minutes, or 15 mouths (first come, first stop). At 3 minutes and 40 seconds, or 13 mouths, the host will vibrate, and then the red light will be lit as shown in the picture below. After that, smoke for another 20 seconds, or 2 mouths, the red light will go out, and the machine enters standby mode. Cigarette smokers like equa never wait for 4 minutes and basically stop. During the mainframe's working process (preheating or heating), press and hold the ON 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. #p#Pagination Title #e#MOX Edge heating does not burn e-cigarette review After smoking, rotate the cigarette bomb slightly and pull it out. The effect will be the following picture. Of course, you can also pull it directly, but equa tried pulling it out and the tobacco completely scattered, so I suggest turning it around before pulling it.

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 will not be worse than that of iQOS. The taste of smoke is full and strong, but there will be no burnt taste. Overall, it gives full play to the taste of Heets smoke bombs, even better than smoking real cigarettes. Comfortable, the experience is quite excellent!

Taking it apart again, the overall heating is still very thorough. Except for the outer circle of tobacco paper, which has some primary colors, the rest has basically been heated to a deep brown color, which can also give full play to the function of the cigarette bomb and avoid waste. Of course, the more important thing is that it can bring a sufficient full taste.

Several points during the test:

1. Measured that after completing a cycle, MOX Edge can immediately start the next 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, the second cycle basically has no flavor at the beginning.

3. After measuring one cigarette bomb, insert the second cigarette bomb immediately. 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. It can be seen that its slender body design is quite particular.

5. Because the test time is not enough, it is unclear whether the red light of iQOS's fatal oil leakage will affect the host.

6. Finally, there is also a very practical cleaning function: in standby state, pull out the cigarette cap, and press the key three times within 2 seconds to turn on the automatic cleaning function. During the cleaning process, the indicator light flashes red and green alternately for 30 seconds. After the cleaning is completed, the indicator light goes off, you can insert the cigarette cap and start smoking; if the cleaning is not complete, you can use the brush inside the package to gently brush the surface of the heating needle.

[Experience]

MOX Edge's measurements are controlled very small, similar to a cigar in the hand, and the weight is controlled to only 37 grams, making it completely unnecessary to use it. This will be very convenient whether you use it at home or carry it out. Operation does not need to press any buttons after preheating is completed, just like smoking a cigarette directly after ignition. It is very simple.

As mentioned many times in the previous test section, this method of heating and not burning smoke bombs 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 little JJ;3. They do not burn, so there is no tar intake in cigarettes and are very healthy. MOX Edge fully exerts the function of this cigarette bomb in the forward direction, and the measured taste, smoke volume, temperature, and battery life are all satisfactory.

When using MOX Edge with a cigarette bomb, smokers just feel like 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 heated and unburned small smoke. The only difference between MOX Edge and cigarettes may be that you can't hold the cigarette in your mouth and free your hands to watch games and fight, 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, any A regular tobacco monopoly, or online e-commerce platform, you cannot buy this kind of cigarette bomb through formal channels, unless brought back from abroad (and the number is limited to 2 pieces). 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 developing national-roasting tobacco-type cigarette bombs, this technology may truly blossom everywhere.

Things are good things, but if you 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 abandoned them 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. MOX Edge heating does not burn e-cigarette review [Summary]

MOX Edge uses exclusive developed patented heating needle technology to bring an excellent taste for replacing cigarettes. Its delicate and full taste even transcends the taste of smoking. In this healthy way, you need to quit cigarettes without strong self-control and no need to endure irritability and anxiety. It can be said that it is a very scientific and effective method. Built-in sufficient batteries, continuous combat, and minimalist operation make it even bring a user experience beyond iQOS in some aspects. The official sales price in Japan is currently 5980 yen (RMB 350). It is listed in China. The pricing strategy should be more people-friendly, and the price/performance ratio will be very prominent. Overall, it should be very competitive in the field of heating and non-burning!# p#pagination title #e#
