Memers Vape Aiva A1
In today's review, I'm bringing you a device, let's say POD-type, something peculiar, and that really closely resembles a disposable, but it's rechargeable. I think these ideas are great, just like Vaporesso does for example with the Eco Nano and many other brands, since they help people who come from disposables to integrate into the world of refillables.
The device in question is from the Memers Vape brand, which also creates disposables. The model is known as Aiva A1, we will talk about it more below.
I would like to thank Jhanlos from here for making this review possible, you can consult the Memers Vape website and learn more about the Aiva A1.
The Aiva A1 comes packaged in a rectangular box. On the front, we can see some branding, as is usual, the name of the product model and also an image. In this case, the image matches the color of the unit, but I can't confirm if it's individual packaging for each color or not, therefore, I'll leave it up in the air.
The decoration of the box is based on a kind of marble texture, which I quite like. On the bottom, we can see a warning about nicotine.
On the back of the box, we find a lot of information. It all falls on warnings about vaping, some specs of the device, some features and as always, the contents of the box.
In the box;
1* Aiva A1 Device
1* GB Pod 0.8Ω
1*User Manual
Something that I don't like and that I always comment when it happens, is that the brands don't include more than one cartridge in the packaging to have different experiences. As such, I don't know whether to take it as a negative point, but it is clear that it is a negative appreciation, without a doubt.
Once the box is opened, we find the device fitted into a plastic surface. Right above, we see another smaller box where the cartridge and user manual are included.
Device Inspection
Let's talk about the materials, weight, and feel in the hand. As for the materials, if I'm not mistaken, everything is made of plastic, although it feels like a resistant plastic (I say this from experience, it has fallen more than five times and there is not a single dent). As for the weight, thanks to its materials it is really light, very, very comfortable in the hand thanks to its size and weight, they make it great to be a spare device, in case we run out of battery of our daily and we do not have another.
On one side we find the screen, which together with the wheel we find on the top, has many functions.
The screen shows;
-Power in Watts.
-Battery percentage.
-The time of day, which is completely configurable of course.
In this front part of the device we find some notches in its body that make it quite comfortable to hold in the hand, in addition to finding a small strip where the brand, Memers Vape, is indicated in a kind of metal letters let's say.
In general, I quite like the aesthetics of the device, and if we add to that its weight, its size and its comfort in the hand, as a whole everything makes it an aesthetically and ergonomically good device.
On the other side, we find a hook for the lanyard, which makes it comfortable if we like to carry it hanging from the neck for example, or from any other place.
From this perspective we can better see the button, this button, also acts as a wheel and serves for different functions;
- If we hold the button down for five seconds, we will access the time adjustment mode, where we can adjust the minutes and hours.
- If we press the button three times, we can access the timer mode, where we can adjust the hours and minutes to act like the one on your mobile phone.
- If we press the button twice, we can enter the LED adjustment mode. This will activate a small kind of flashlight, which has several modes that can be explored by turning the button.
- If we press the button once, we enter the Wattage adjustment mode. By turning the wheel, we can adjust it from 12 to 18W.
As for the bottom part, we find the air intake and also the charging port that charges at (enter charging information).
The air intake is composed of three holes, when it is fully open. It is fully adjustable until it reaches its final position, which is when only one hole is uncovered. When it is fully open, it provides a very satisfactory RDL, this is how I have been using it. When we close it, it provides an MTL that according to me, feels pretty good, especially with nicotine salts.
The guys at Memers Vape have also provided me with five nicotine salts from their own brand, after having tried them I can give my conclusions about them;
Grape Ice; As it indicates, it is not a liquid that seeks to be radical or combine exotic flavors, it is simply, grape. I really notice this grape as the fruit itself, I sincerely believe that it is one of my favorites. The touch of ice may be somewhat excessive although that is very subjective. For me, one of the best of the five.
Blueberry Sour Raspberry; A very typical flavor of disposables, as I believe they are designed with that objective. I clearly notice the blueberry and it is really delicious, it is like drinking a slushie or slushie of this fruit, it does not feel like a natural fruit as with the grape. The flavor is quite achieved in terms of blueberry but not so much in terms of raspberry. I also don't get to find the sour touch that is promised to us.
Lemon Lime; I don't know if you know the typical Calipos, because I don't know if they are sold outside of Spain or not, but, in a few words it is a kind of slushy, let's say, although quite more compact, with different flavors. Well, there is one of them that is lemon lime, and it tastes exactly the same as this liquid here. It is a very refreshing and quite well achieved flavor, very similar to the ice cream itself, definitely, although the grape one I knew to say that it was one of the best, this one I can say, that it is the best of the five.
Watermelon Ice; Never, but never, have I been convinced by watermelon flavors, in fact I never buy one on my own and I don't think I will. This one has surprised me a bit, because it is a quite natural flavor. Something that I see in common with all of them, is that they resemble slushies, granitas or ice creams. Of all, the worst, but it is due to my subjective taste on this specific flavor.
Blueberry Cherry Cranberry; Very similar to the Blueberry Sour Raspberry, although in this one you can notice the acid touch provided by the cherry and cranberry. It is quite sweet, and again, it is very similar to a granita.
Conclusion
The Memers Vape Aiva A1 is presented as an interesting option for those looking for a compact and easy-to-use vaping device, especially for those who are new to the world of vaping. Its simple design and basic functions make it accessible to a wide audience. However, I find the time options, timers and other time-related options useless.
As for the liquids tested, the variety of flavors is a plus. From the refreshing Lemon Lime, which evokes memories of childhood ice cream, to the exotic Blueberry Cherry Cranberry, there are options for different tastes. However, it is important to keep in mind that taste preferences are subjective and what works for one person may not work for another.
