In this short review, I will begin to tell you about disposable electronic cigarettes from the YOCAN Company, produced under the VECEE brand. The Chinese company VECEE (sub-brand YOCAN) currently produces four types of disposable electronic cigarettes with simple names – from V1 to V4. Let’s start our acquaintance and tests with the first ones.
VECEE V1 disposables – packaging
VECEE V1 disposables are sold in small cardboard boxes. In this case, there is no localization into Russian, but if you wish (and at your expense), it will be translated. On the front side there are warnings about the dangers of nicotine, an image of the device, taste and nicotine content in percentage. e-cigarettes online boutique in new zealand The reverse side is given to technical information, and on the sides you can find a large description of the taste of the liquid poured in and a sticker with an authentication code.
Inside, each disposable is packed in a blister that is transparent on one side and branded on the other, and the stick itself is closed at the top and bottom with silicone caps. Their purpose is to prevent the device from being turned on randomly during transport.
Constructive
The disposable paper has an extremely compact size; I can’t even compare it with a marker or felt-tip pen. More likely with a children’s wax chalk, especially since the tapering mouthpiece makes them even more similar in appearance. The body is made of a light metal alloy and covered with a thin layer of metallized and glossy paint; the flavor of the liquid and the device model are applied on top of it with silk-screen printing. On top there is a small mouthpiece with a hole for escaping steam, and on the bottom there is a plastic plug behind which a noise sensor, LED and battery are hidden. The device turns on from the puff and glows blue through a single hole in the center.
Testing and tastes of VECEE V1 disposables
There are a total of 10 different flavors in the VECEE V1 disposable line. In the first part of the review, to preserve my own health and your interest, I will consider half of the samples submitted for testing. The second part of the review is here.
Inside each disposable device there is a battery containing a reactive alkali metal – lithium. Such batteries should not be thrown away with household waste, but should be taken for recycling or special disposal.
VECEE V1 – WATERMELON ICE
The aroma of watermelon is sweet, even more pronounced than that of a natural berry; not only confectionery, but also small creamy shades are easily discernible in it. The taste on inhalation is practically without the chill promised on inhalation, but the watermelon itself is presented in full. Already from the first puff, the sweet taste is easily recognizable, which intensifies during a deep puff, smoothly turning into a sensation of creamy caramel with a watermelon flavor. As you exhale, the chill still makes itself felt, unobtrusively, but with a characteristic note of freshness. The aftertaste is simply sweet and quite long.
VECEE V1 – COOL MINT
I can describe the smell of mint as something between chewing gum and mint liqueur, it is a little sweeter than you subconsciously expect, but still fresh and noticeably peppery. The taste, although standard mint, still has fruity undertones, which does not make it worse. On the contrary, with such a taste, peppermint reveals itself differently, which makes it begin to play with “new colors” and makes you take another breath. The chill of this mix is very moderate, invigorating and pleasant, and in general, it is an ideal taste for absolutely all connoisseurs of casual vaping.
VECEE V1 – CREAM TOBACCO
The aroma of tobacco is rich, thick and heavy on the one hand, and sweet and “cookie” on the other. To summarize, this is a bright representative of the “Chinese school” of tobacco mixes. The inhale taste is slightly pharmaceutical, which is also common for such tobaccos. Then, on a deep inhalation, a soft taste of something creamy is added to the main taste, and during exhalation, a wave of tart spices covers the receptors. After 2-3 puffs, it becomes completely unclear how this could be called a tobacco taste. But it is absolutely impossible to describe in any other way what the mixologists achieved. The aftertaste is slightly disappointing, it is weak and short-lived. And this is perhaps the only significant minus. I admit that not everyone will like this taste, but those who once fell in love with Chinese tobacco, like me, will be simply delighted.
VECEE V1 – STRAWBERRY BANANA
The smell of this one-time use is definitely strawberry before vaping, and slightly banana after exhalation, but invariably sweet and confectionery. The taste on the inhale is pure berry, without excessive sweetness, leaf taste or astringent sensation from banana peel. A deep puff increases the amount of imaginary sugar on the receptors and gives the first hints of a banana taste, which finally appears only during exhalation. The aftertaste is again weak, mostly strawberry and almost no banana. Another taste for leisurely vaping and saturating the body with nicotine.
VECEE V1 – PINEAPPLE ICE
The stick has any flavor, but not pineapple. There is lychee, orange, and something else exotic in the smell, but I couldn’t smell the pineapple itself before I started vaping. The taste on inhalation puts the initially confused receptors in place; it is piercingly pineapple, right down to a slight foreign chemical taste. A deep puff gives a decent cooling sensation, which is closer to mint than to cooler. And during exhalation, the pineapple will continue to torment not only the lungs with its sour juice, but also the tongue and gums. The aftertaste is unexpectedly sweet, long, but somewhat dry. But in general, the mixologists managed to transfer the taste of pineapple into steam quite well.
Personal impressions
Full impressions of the V1 line by VECEE will be in the second part of the review. For now, I will only note the gorgeous tobacco taste, which simply brought my feeling back 10 years into the past, and which, quite likely, may become one of my favorites in the very near future. The fact is that in the Republic of Belarus, from April 1, restrictions are introduced on the maximum volume of liquid in disposable drinks up to 2 milliliters (and maximum strength up to 20 mg/ml), and these sticks are 100% compliant with the upcoming rules. So it turns out that this is not only a nod to the past, but also a very real and harsh future.
