NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE JOYETECH EVIC BASIC – 8/1/16
Here comes another one from Joyetech and with it, Joyetech enters the mini game. Too bad they didn’t have this out in time to be part of the “Mini Marathon” 🙁
This one is going to come in a plethora of color choices (in this case, “plethora” = 9). It’s a user interface you’re going to be used to if you’re familiar with Joyetech products.
This one packs a lot into a little package with VW (up to 40 watts), TC (including TCR), Bypass, Real Time Clock, firmware upgradeabily and a built in 1500mAh battery.
Unlike the AIO Box, this one feels solid. 🙂

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE JOYETECH EGO AIO BOX – 8/1/16
IMHO Joyetech and it’s umbrella companies have been on a roll and pumping out the products hot and heavy.
With this one… I’m not a fan. 🙁
The Joyetech eGo AIO Box is to the eGo AIO what the Innokin T22 is to the T18… well, almost.
The AIO Box is just that, a box version of the popular AIO. Comes with the same coils, uses the same child resistant cap, has the same operation and led color options as the original. The Box version does have a larger internal battery, 2100mAh as compared to the 1500mAh of the original tube. You will get more vape time, but you’re not going to get more capacity. Both the box and the tube have a 2ml capacity.
The build on this is cheap cheap cheap and IMHO looks and feels it… hopefully the price reflect that. The device is very light and made of plastic which bleeds the led color especially on the white version. The button, also plastic, has a very light press.
Here’s some more info from Joyetech:
eGo AIO Box, being all-in-one style, attaches the innovative anti-leaking structure with 2ml e-juice capacity. It is powered by a 2100mAh built-in battery. Childproof structure is applied, simply twist the cap with pressure. It is simple and convenient to use with several fashionable indicator lights. Multiple colors, changeable stickers, and its simplicity and efficiency all make the eGo AIO Box quite popular and unique.
Standard Configuration:
- 1 eGo AIO Box
- 2 BF SS316-0.6ohm MTL.
- 2 Mouthpiece
- 1 USB Cable
- 1 Quick Start
- 1 Warranty Card
- 1 Warning Card
Product Parameters:
- Size: 23.0*43.0*97.0mm
- Battery capacity: 2100mAh
- Atomizer capacity: 2ml
- Color: Black/Black, Black/Grey, Black/Red, White/Yellow, White/ White

BTW – for those of you who read that title and thought Eric B. & Rakim… respect.
But seriously though, another big THANK YOU to Zample Box, an e-liquid subscription service, who had the winning bid of $5,000 for my “Pile For Advocacy Auction”.
CASAA was presented with a $2,500 check at the VCC-PA event…
Right 2 B Smoke-Free received their $2,500 online…
Both organizations have been made fully aware that the donations came from Zample Box.
THANKS VAPORESSO!
I want to thank Vaporesso for sending me the limited edition Target Mini in the gold finish.
I still think it looks like a child’s toy, but now one for Richie Rich. 🙂
Yes, it needs a polishing… and I’m talking about the mod BTW – God you guys are disgusting.
If your curious as to what it looks like, look below…
NEW IN THE QUEUE – SENSE HERAKLES TANKS – 7/26/16
Sense is releasing a bunch of new Herakles tanks including:
- The Herakles RDA
- The Herakles RDA 24mm
- The Herakles RTA Mini
- The Herakles Pro
- The Herakles Pro Nano
Not much we haven’t seen here before, but I am quite interested in the Pro and Pro Nano which they have told me are flavor and MTL tanks. I also like the design and look of these tanks which is somehow strangely familiar. 🙂
My dearest Sense, If these are flavor and MTL tanks… WHY ARE THE DAMN MOUTH PIECES SO LARGE? I’d really like to see these include the larger mouthpieces for those who prefer them and a smaller one for those who prefer that.
Sense was nice enough to send several of these so look for a nice tank giveaway coming soon to a contest near you.
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE HAKA MT80 – 7/26/16
What will they think of next? How about a mod with a “turbo” button? That’s right, press the button lightly and you’ll fire the device according to your setting, but press it a little harder, you’ll feel another click, the mod will vibrate and you’ll go into “Turbo” mode!!
The HAKA MT80 is a Korean made 80w, dual 18650 VW and TC device.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this feature and if I would ever use it and the answer is yes IF it was implemented correctly. Unfortunately, I don’t think it was implemented correctly. 🙁
More on that when we get to the review.
Here are some additional features:
- This one uses 2 18650 batteries in parallel and can work with a single battery should you want to save some weight.
- Fires up to 80W & 9V
- Fast and efficient charging (TI Fast Charging Chip)
- Sensor to inform user of wrong batteries, voltage differences in batteries, and reversed batteries.
- .1 ohm – 3.0 ohm (VW) .1 ohm – 1.0 ohm (TC)
- NI200 & TI1 support with a TCR compensation feature.
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE HCIGAR VT75 NANO – 7/26/16
Maybe you like the look and feel of the VT75, but don’t like the girth (yeah, that’s right, I said “girth” 🙂 ), then this one may be for you.
The VT75 Nano. Same idea as the full sized, same DNA-75 board, still supports Escribe, only this one will not accept the 26650, only the 18650.
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE INNOKIN DISRUPTER TC75 – 7/26/16
So you have a Disrupter and you bought yourself some additional Innokin Cells but you now want temperature control. Good news, Innokin is releasing the Disrupter TC75 which uses the same battery system.
I still think this battery is an excellent idea and reminds me a lot of the battery system for my DJI Quadcopter. Quick to replace, easy to charge, built in protection, a charge indicator right on the battery, and takes guesswork out of the hands of the inexperienced.
Here’s some additional information from Innokin:
The upgraded Innokin Disrupter TC75 Vaporizer is now available for order! The Disrupter TC75 and InnokinCell Power unit are the perfect combination for power, safety and convenience!

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE JOYETECH EVIC AIO – 7/26/16
Well, we now have the 17th exact same product from Joyetech, the Joyetech eVic AIO. 🙂
Ok, well maybe not the exact same, but it sure is similar to the eGrip II and the Cuboid Mini.
This one takes a user replaceable 18650, can be used with the included internal tank (think AIO or eGrip) or use the adapter and use any 510 atty (think eGrip II), fires up to 75w, has temp control, internal colored LED (think AIO) and user upgradeable firmware.
The LVC Clapton-1.5ohm MTL head with it’s adjustable liquid port has my attention. Hopefully this will solve some of my issues with the .6 ohm that comes with the AIO. I’d kinda like to see that design on the .6 as well.
It also includes the QCS coil which allows you to remove the cotton, dry burn the coil clean, and replace with your own or the included cotton.
Always happy to see both DL and MTL support in a kit!
I think the optional clock as seen on the eGrip II is a useful and classy touch.
Here’s some additional information for you from Joyetech and some photos:
Being the all-in-one concept, eVic AIO features an interchangeable plate which allows to replace the battery or atomizer easily. eVic AIO adopts the best anti-leaking structure with top refilling and top airflow control system. Large 0.96-inch OLED screen, colorful stickers and multiple coil options all make it more practical and attractive catering to your preference. Also, upgradable firmware always enables it up-to-date.
eVic AIO adopts a detachable magnetic cover.
Inside of the cover, you can change the battery and take out the glass tube to wash easily.The improved airflow control system allows larger airflow inlet directly from both sides. Simply rotate the airflow ring clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the airflow inlet.
E-juice filling can be easily achieved by removing the top cap and injecting through the two side holes (not the vent pipe) directly.
Unscrew the airflow ring and remove the whole part. Screw the atomizer adapter tightly with a coin, then you’re able to apply multiple types of atomizers with the 510 pin.
eVic AIO comes with the upgradeable firmware.
