Joyetech Exceed EDGE All-in-One Vape Review

Alternative cigarette products may seem simple on the surface, but there are still many factors to be considered. In addition to considering size, battery life, ease of use, cost, etc., another very important factor is taste. If you blindly pursue the same size and ease of use as a cigarette, and ignore the taste factor at all, then it is estimated that a strong-willed person can use a pencil to replace a cigarette; if you pursue too much taste, the volume and consumption of tobacco oil are often unsatisfactory.

The mainframe of Exceed EDGE is made of a metal shell, the fuselage is like a spacecraft traveling in space, and the transparent cabin in front is like the cockpit. The overall appearance is very beautiful.

The rubber-textured integrated large button on the back makes it easy to ignite. The mini atomizer structure rather than the disposable cigarette cartridge is used with the finished atomizing core, which not only brings excellent taste, but also greatly reduces the cost of using the disposable cigarette cartridge.

The double taillights are designed like the tail flame of a spacecraft. The LED taillights not only bring a dynamic appearance, but also bring a very intuitive and simple reminder function. The standard MicroUSB charging port indicates that it has good charging compatibility.

[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.

Exceed EDGE is packaged in a small transparent cylinder with a direct view of the interior body from the front. Turning around the reverse side, you can see very obvious anti-counterfeiting QR codes and barcodes, which is convenient for users to check whether the original product is authentic. The packing list is printed in English on the back, and the parameters below show that the maximum output power of the host can reach 25W.

Packaging and printing is mainly in English, indicating that this product is mainly exported. However, the samples received this time were also very responsibly labeled with Chinese labels on the back, indicating production information, date of manufacture and other information, making it very formal.

Gently pull open the fixing sponges on both sides to easily remove the contents.

Remove all packaging, and the product list obtained is: 1 set of Exceed EDGE electronic cigarettes, 2 finished atomizing cores 1.2, 1 spare rubber stopper leak-proof ring each, 1 manual, 1 warning card, 1 warranty card each, and 1 standard MicroUSB charging cable.

The instructions are printed in Chinese and English, with mixed pictures and texts, which is very intuitive and easy to understand. Users can quickly start reading it in a few minutes.

Take out the set and put it into the atomizing core to form a very small and exquisite electronic cigarette in working condition.

Its three measurements were measured: the length was 110mm, the width at the widest part was 26mm, and the thickness at the thickest part was 20 mm. The overall volume was very small.

The weight of the overall package plus a full load of tobacco oil is 82.5 grams, which is only half the weight of the iPhone X phone. The overall portability is quite good.

Compared with real objects, its overall volume is about 1.5 times the size of a disposable lighter.

Compared with other such portable e-cigarettes, we can see that the size of Excess EDGE is probably in the middle of the transition from a conventional portable integrated cigarette to a conventional portable e-cigarette stick. Perhaps this is one of the meanings of Excess EDGE (Beyond the Edge).

[Overall appearance and structure]

The Exceed EDGE received this time is a bright orange model. Officials remind that it is also available in matte black, bright yellow, bright red, nickel-plated brushed, colorful and other colors. Its overall shape is like a streamlined spacecraft, and the atomizer in front is like the cockpit, making its appearance very neat.

The front of the main body is very simple, without any functions placed, and is covered by a bright finish with a metallic paint texture. At close view, it also has a beautiful pearlescent effect. The two sides of the front are stamped in a stepped shape, which not only makes the overall appearance more three-dimensional and dynamic, but also effectively improves the anti-slip feel when holding.

The reverse side looks a bit like a torpedo, and a large black rubber-like ignition button in the middle occupies about half of the area on the back. The black-orange contrast color design brings a quite good visual impact. Even newcomers who have no experience with e-cigarettes can easily understand that this is a functional area.

It makes great sense to design large buttons on such a compact model, which brings a very convenient experience. The matte rubber texture on the surface provides a very good feel. You only need to press the button in the upper position to facilitate ignition. It is easy to hold forward or reverse. The buttons are silk-screened with Zhuoyue's LOGO and the Exceed EDGE product logo, which is beautifully printed. #p#Pagination Title #e# There is a small hole on the upper side of the back. It is not a buckle used to fix it. Careful study and identification have been made that this hole should be an air inlet. However, according to actual measurement, even if it is blocked, it will not affect the air inlet too much.

A very beautiful LED light design can be seen on the other side of the back. Unlike the simple design of ordinary e-cigarettes that only exposes a point, the Exceed EDGE's LED design is in the style of a spacecraft taillight, which looks very beautiful and dynamic.

It provides a very intuitive reminder display: after pressing the ignition button, it will light up like a breathing light, and it will fade out after the ignition is over. The important point is that it will continue to remind the current power after that: if it is on for a few seconds, it means that the power is above 60%, slow flash is between 30-60%, normal flash is between 10-30%, flash means less than 10%, and requires charging.

You can see that this e-cigarette uses the standard MicroUSB charging interface with the best compatibility at the bottom and tail. When plugged into the charging head for charging, the light is always on, and the light is off when fully charged. It is actually measured that it also supports use during charging, so that you can carry a charging treasure when using it outside. Not afraid of the problem of power life.

The atomizer at the top has a special-shaped design. Its smoking is flat duckbill and has a small opening, so it can bring a very rich taste. At the same time, the flat suction nozzle is designed to be tilted to one side, so hold it in the direction shown in the figure below, with the thumb resting on the front of the host, and use the surrounding index and ring fingers to pinch the ignition button. At the same time, the inside of the suction nozzle is facing the lips. This suction method is very Ergonomic.

Gently pull the mini atomizer outwards to separate it from the battery main unit. It does not use magnetic attraction, but uses a mechanical snap type. Protruded fixing buckles can be seen around the atomizer., used to combine the main unit. Judging from the size, the overall process is very good. While the joint is tight and not loose, it will not be too solid and cause the plastic parts to wear out.

After separation, it can be seen that its internal structure is relatively simple. The positive and negative contacts of the battery host are in contact with the two rings on the base of the atomizer to achieve circuit communication. Pay attention to slightly downward pressure during installation. To ensure good contact. Unfortunately, there is not a snap position in place on the mainframe, so there will be no expected click reminder that it has been installed in place.

[Mini atomizer analysis]

Let's take a look at Exceed EDGE's mini atomizer alone. Although officials call it a cigarette bomb, equa prefers to understand it as a mini atomizer, because it is essentially a very complete atomizer with no structural flaws, just that it has fewer components. Its drip nozzle is flat and the suction port is small to ensure a rich and excellent taste. At the same time, its suction path has a tortuous design in the middle, which can reduce the inhalation of condensate to a certain extent.

The oil filling hole is designed on the bottom side and sealed with a silicone plug. A spare part is also carefully provided in the accessory package. Remove the silicone plug to easily inject oil. The oil injection port is relatively small, so it is best to use a sharp-tipped bottle or needle bottle to inject oil. The dropper can only be used reluctantly.

In terms of oil bin capacity testing, equa used a syringe, inhaled 5ml of tobacco oil and injected it into the mini atomizer, until the full scale stopped at 3ml, showing that its oil bin capacity was 2ml, which was consistent with the official 2ml data. This atomizer uses a finished atomizing core, which has a high tolerance for tobacco oil. The cigarette oil injected with 70% VG can also be pumped without any oil conduction problems.

Let's take a look at its structure. Unscrew the large screws at the bottom and you can easily disassemble them into the following two pieces.

Continue to unscrew the atomizing core, and its overall structure has only three simple pieces, which is very friendly to newcomers. However, although its components are few, its internal structure is not much different from ordinary atomizers. It also has a long flue to enhance the taste, a leak-proof silicone plug for sealing, and a tortuous path to reduce condensation. What needs to be noted during assembly is to tighten each component. The main body of the atomizer, atomizing core, and bottom fixing screws are all sealed by silicone plugs. They need to be installed in place to effectively avoid leakage of smoke oil.

Let's take a look at a very distinctive core of this atomizer. It uses the finished atomizing core system developed by Joyetech's family. It is common to Joyetech's own Excess D19, D22 and other atomizers. It has a resistance of 1.2 and an applicable power of 8-12W. It is a typical mouth-tasting atomizing core. There are 2 pieces provided with the packaging for use, and they are all sealed in aluminum foil packaging when they leave the factory, making them very formal.# p#pagination title #e#

This atomizing core adopts a vertical coil structure, with a thick metal wall and a very thick cotton core layer, which brings a quite good heat insulation and oil storage effect, so that the smoke oil can fully contact the coil at normal temperatures. It is very helpful to improve the taste. At the same time, because it has considerable oil guide ports on all sides compared to its body shape, it also has very good oil guide efficiency. Under the normal pumping frequency, smoke oil with a VG of 70% will not have any oil guide. The problem that the oil cannot keep up leads to the appearance of a burnt taste. The bottom has a very simple design, and the bottom air inlet hole is directly opened on the positive pole, which greatly reduces the length of the overall atomizing core.

When you open the positive pole, you can see the very conventional coil placement method. For those who like to do things, this finished atomizing core can also be rebuilt DIY by yourself.

[Experience]

The overall measurements of the Exceed EDGE compact e-cigarette set are quite well controlled. Holding it in your hand is like holding a slightly larger lighter. The overall round appearance also brings a quite good feel. The design of the large-area ignition button makes it easy to press the ignition button regardless of whether it is held forward or backward, and the operation is very convenient. In terms of weight, it is slightly heavier than an extremely lightweight cigarette, but the overall weight is similar to that of an armor kerosene lighter and will not become a heavy burden.

But if you consider its taste, then the little extra weight is quite worth it. Since Exceed EDGE uses a finished atomizing core architecture, the host can provide a peak output of up to 25W, so it can overall bring and The ultimate lightweight small cigarette has an almost completely different taste.

First of all, it is not as picky about tobacco oil as Xiaoyan. The tobacco oil with a VG content of 70% measured is not a problem to use in this finished core. This can bring greater smoke and also expand the selection of tobacco oil flavors. At the same time, the abundant power output of the host also provides strong power for the atomization of cigarette oil. In terms of experience, it is very close to the experience of an ordinary e-cigarette host box with a 15W gobang atomizer. The oil storage capacity of 2ml also makes it the same as a general small oil storage atomizer. Combined with these points, Exceed EDGE is more like an integrated version of an e-cigarette box + atomizer, rather than just the small taste of a small cigarette.

In terms of safety, Exceed EDGE provides short circuit, low voltage, resistance protection and other functions, making it easy to use.

In terms of battery life, this Exceed EDGE has 650mAh built-in power, but since its power output is also a bit larger, although it has a much larger capacity than a small cigarette (usually the power of a small cigarette is about 250mAh), it can only Maintain the consumption of a bin of cigarette oil, which lasts about a whole day of use. Fortunately, it supports charging while using it, so it is not a big problem for modern people who are phobic about electricity and will definitely bring a charging treasure for self-defense.

[Summary]

Excess EDGE, as its name suggests, transcends the edge. It brings a halfway point between small cigarettes and ordinary box-like e-cigarettes. It has dimensions and weight slightly larger than that of small cigarettes, but at the same time it has output and taste comparable to that of e-cigarette boxes. It fills the gap between the two well and provides a new choice for steam players who pursue both portability and enjoyment of cigarette replacement. If you are looking for such an integrated cigarette replacement device, Excess EDGE can consider it. This year, there are so many small cigarette equipment that is really dazzling!
