The Electronic Cigarette Company (TECC) send me the new Evio M pod kit from Joyetech over to test out.
Joyetech were one of the more prevalent manufacturers when I started vaping, but I’ve not seen much from them for a while, so I was very happy to see that they’ve back in pod form. I assume they’ve been manufacturing all this time and just haven’t crossed my path, but I do remember the Cuboid mod that I coveted but couldn’t quite afford at the time. Looking at their website, it seems they are quite prolific pod makers nowadays, and this is one of the latest they’ve released.
The Evio M is a simple pod device with auto draw only that allows you to use several different Joyetech pods in it. Included in the pack is an Evio Grip 0.8ohm pod, but you can buy an Evio Grip 0.6 pod, a Joyetech Evio Grip cartridge that takes their range of EN coils, or even a VALL MOR prefilled 1.2 pod as well, so it’s a very versatile little kit overall.
In the box you get:
- 1 Evio M Device
- 1 Evio Grip 0.8ohm Pod
- 1 User Manual
- 1 Warranty Card
The Evio M is a 900mAh internal battery device and has USB Type C charging, as is standard these days. There are twelve colours to choose from, of which TECC have six available. There are three LED lights on the front to let you see how much battery is left and it’s the usual combination of three lights for 70%+, two lights for 30%-70%, and one light on for less than 30% power left.
Now the marketing blurb on the Joyetech site suggests that this kit is perfect for RDL, but using the included 0.8ohm pod feels more of an MTL deal for me. In fact, the TECC site tells you it’s for MTL and RDL so I’m going with that. I can RDL quite nicely on it, don’t get me wrong, but I instinctively started to MTL when I filled it up, and it works very well that way.
For MTL it’s a reasonably tight draw but with there being two tiny airflow holes on the sides, you can cover one to get an even tighter MTL draw. Covering both doesn’t work as you can’t really get a draw at all, which shows that the pods fit in nice and snugly for once on one of these simple pod kits. The pods stay in the device well too, no amount of wrist flicking sent the pod flying off into the void, even when I flicked the device quite violently.
As I noted earlier, you can buy the Evio Grip pods that take the EN coils, and there’s a range of coils there that allow for an 0.6ohm, an 0.8ohm, or a 1.2ohm coil so MTL is very much on the menu, but I also tested the 0.8ohm pod for RDL and that works pretty nicely as well with no burny burny taste after a good chain vape for a minute or so. Of course, with the 0.8ohm pod, it gets a touch warm after a while, so I assume the 0.6ohm is much better suited to my style of vaping.
The EN coils that are enclosed in the pods are mesh, so they give a really good flavour and a good amount of vapour too. I was using some 20mg nic salt juice that was 50/50 ratio and while it made me cough a little now and again when RDL vaping, the flavour kept up for a good while, and when using a lower mg nicotine juice with a higher vg/pg ratio, it worked even better with some impressive vapour for such a simple wee device.
Conclusion
Joyetech have made a nice and simple starter kit to appeal to the masses of disposable users out there, and I think they’ve done a decent job with the Evio M Kit. It’s small and cheap, which is what a lot of people want just now, and they’ve managed to pack a 900mAh battery into it and given the coils a bit of oomph to boot.
It’s a little too simple for my own tastes, but sometimes simple is still worth using.
You can buy the Evio M Kit at TECC for £11.99, and you might want to add some of the pods for £3.49 to get up to their free delivery over £15.
Many thanks to TECC for sending the Joyetech Evio M Kit in for review.
- Small and punchy little pod kit
- No fuss vaping
- A little too simple for me personally but a great starter kit
Stephen Gitsham
Reviewer at POTVI 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
