E-Leaf iVeni Duo

We take a look at another great E-Leaf product, the E-Leaf iVeni Duo

Share on:

JWEI Group sent the E-Leaf iVeni Duo pod kit over for me for review, and I’ve been using it for the past week or so.

I’ve said in a previous review that I enjoy E-Leaf products. They’re solid and reliable, and their latest pod kit offerings have been quite cool as well. I liked the design of the original iVeni, and E-Leaf have done it again with this iVeni duo kit, bringing a fresh look and greater functionality to pod kits. 

The E-Leaf iVeni Duo has a 1300mAh internal battery and goes up to 40W. It has a nice aluminium casing that keeps things light. The first thing featured in the marketing is the fact that the pods have dual coils in them, and you can use one or both for eco or power mode. You can also use the previously released iVeni pods, but only in eco mode. There’s airflow control, and it charges at 2amp/5V for fast charging. 

The main draw for me is the design, it’s quite clever and takes a cue from some of the mods coming out recently. The fire button is to one side on the front and is also a jog button so you can adjust the wattage by spinning the wheel. The screen is slightly to the other side and gives you the information you need, wattage, battery level, mode indicator, pod indicator, and lock indicator. The display kind of wraps around the left of the fire button and does look quite good, modern but also simple. There are no OLED HD colour screens here, although it does have colour, just minimally. Other than that, it’s a flattened pen style kit with discreet branding on it. On the black one I have, you can barely see the iVeni Duo branding or the E-Leaf branding unless the light hits it, leaving the whole thing looking clean and focusing on the button/screen area. I do like that a lot.

E-Leaf’s marketing is also punting the jog button as a fidget spinner as well for ‘fun’. It’s not a fidget spinner, so don’t let that put you off, but it is good for fiddling about with as the jog button is only active when you’re adjusting the wattage. 

Function wise, it’s five clicks to turn the device on, four to lock the fire button and make it draw activated only, three to go into wattage changing mode, and two to change the power level. It makes for a nice simple device as well, good for new users or those just wanting a decent pod kit to take out and about. 

In use, I started off with the 0.8ohm pod. The duo pods are good, and I was surprised that the wattage rating shoots up when using power mode, making use of both coils. On power mode, it was letting me vape at a heady 28W. I wonder if it’s like other dual coil pod setups, where using the dual coil actually gives you a 0.4ohm resistance, but there’s no ohm indicator so I can’t be 100% sure, likely just E-Leaf keeping things simple. On eco mode, the wattage is a more sedate 18W, and suits MTL more than the RDL that the power mode allows for. I also noticed that RDL drawing in eco mode does hint at burning, so I would stay on MTL if using that. 

The draw is good as well. The airflow control allows for a tight MTL up to a reasonably restricted lung hit. It’s not airy, but still gives a decent RDL. With power mode on, you get a good plume of vapour and the flavour is very good. With eco, you get a nice amount as well, and the flavour is still there so switching will really depend on what kind of vaping you want to do.

I also had a go on the 1.2ohm pod. In eco it’s still nicely sedate and the flavour is still very good. In power you can RDL again and while it’s not as cloudy as the 0.8ohm pod, it’s still well over what you’d usually get from a high resistance coil. Bear in mind that you’ll likely be getting 0.6ohms from the dual coil in power mode as well though.

The one thing I’m not so keen on is (as always) a personal thing. Each pod, and mode, restricts how much you can adjust the wattage. On the 1.2ohm pod, for instance, in eco mode you can only adjust between 11 and 13W, with 12W being the recommended power output. In power mode, it’s 20 to 24W, with 22W being the recommended. I don’t like being told what to do. If I want to go lower and preserve the coil, I should be able to. If I want to burn the whole thing down, I should also be able to (but why would I want that anyway?). As I say, it’s a personal thing, and the wattage restriction would likely suit most users better. 

Final Thoughts

E-Leaf have continued the iVeni range with another good looking but nicely simple kit. I think I like this one the most, due to the clean look and different approach. It’s all nicely rounded and comfortable to hold onto, the screen doesn’t overload you with info, and it’s easy to read for those who might have sight issues. 

I love the dual coil aspect. Having tried a few other kits like this, it’s the way forward for me as I do like a RDL vape but also like to switch to MTL as well. I’ll never give up my mods and rebuildable coil tanks at home, but the dual coil pod kits that are around make things much easier when I’m out and about as I don’t have to take two kits out with me anymore. 

Thanks again to JWEI for sending the E-Leaf iVeni Duo kit in for review. You can go to the E-Leaf online store to get it and other versions of the duo pods.

Pros
  • MTL and proper RDL in one pod
  • Nicely simple but adjustable
  • Clean looking, cool pod kit
Cons
  • Other than my personal one above, none

I was a very militant smoker for many years…why would I stop doing the only thing I had left that I liked doing?  Then I fell into vaping in 2017.  My wife bought a cheap kit off from Amazon that stopped working and I took it to a local vape shop to see what they could do with it.  An hour later and full of new knowledge about watts, ohms, and juice strength, I headed home with a new nautilus mini tank for her and raved to her about the helpful guy in the shop. I must have bored her with all my new found information.  I tried her vape that night, and a week later bought my own kit. Then I found POTV and the amazingly helpful and generous people on it. A month later I was making my own (disgusting) vape juice, and a month after that I was winding coils for my new RDA.  Six years on and I'm much better at making juice, and I now have no money but lots of shiny mods and tanks
