Hi, today let's take a look at the Innokin Lota Enviro and F600 both are new water based pods. In this Test I will examine each of the characteristics that distinguish this item. I hope that by the end of this reading you may have understood this product, and therefore decide whether to invest in it or not. As always, my opinions are free and based on my personal experience.

Inside the cardboard box there is the disposable pod Lota Enviro or, depending on the choice, Lota F 600. Both are sealed in a sachet. Once the sachet is opened, we notice that the spouts are protected by a transparent silicone rubber cap to be removed, while for the battery protection we find a silicone rubber cap for Enviro and a transparent stick to be removed for F600.

► Innokin Lota Enviro and F600 - h2o Pods; First impressions:
After having released all the Enviro and F600 specimens from their respective packages, I realized that I had received two slightly different versions of Lota Enviro; the difference is the Driptip, consulting Innokin I learned that the final version is the one with the duckbill driptip and that some of the first pre-production models had a circular driptip. F600 instead came here for testing only with its final appearance. Both Enviro and F600 are compact in size and also particularly light, Enviro's compressed cardboard body gives it a weight of only 24g. F600 weighs slightly more because it has a shiny plastic body covered with soft transparent silicone. I had some doubts about the structural solidity of Enviro being made from a cardboard tube, but my fears proved unfounded when I tried to squeeze Enviro between my fingers and the compressed cardboard did not give way!



Both Enviro and F600 Driptip holes are 4mm in diameter for MTL / RDL extraction. The Enviro driptip is removable and is made of semi-opaque food-grade silicone while that of F600 is made of soft transparent silicone and is not removable for disposal. At the bottom of both there is a blue LED integrated in the support base. The led lights up when aspirating and when the e-liquid has run out or the battery is running out, the LED will flash blue 10 times indicating the end of the life cycle and the start of disposal.



The Enviro body is wrapped in paper and is colored according to the flavor contained in it, there are some identifying writings; the name of the taste, Lota Enviro and Aquios 30. The body of F600 is also colored in order to identify with the flavors it contains and lets you see some writings found on the plastic and below the transparent silicone layer; these writings are; Lota F600 and Aquios 30. The lower base of Enviro is removable and is made of soft food-grade silicone, houses two small holes for the passage of air, while the base of F600 is integrated and not removable, houses a single hole for passage of the air that has a diameter equal to the sum of the two holes of Enviro, moreover the base of F600 shows the indications on the contained taste.



► Innokin Lota Enviro 100% recyclable:
Innokin includes in the packaging an illustrated sheet on how to dismantle and dispose of the Lota Enviro. When Lota Enviro is completely exhausted, both the silicone driptip and the silicone base must be removed and it is very simple. Is simple to press with a finger on the part where the driptip was removed to extract the battery and the e-liquid tank from the compressed cardboard case. After cutting the threads, each of the individual components can then be disposed of properly. Logically I took apart a specimen of Lota Enviro to see how easy it was to do it and to see exactly how it looked inside.





► Innokin Lota Enviro and F600 - h2o Pods; Available flavors:
For this review, Innokin sent me the complete line of 10 flavors of Lota Enviro and Lota F600. These are the flavors currently available:
• Sour Apple
• Grape Ice
• Peach Ice
• Sunrise Ice
• Mango Passion Ice
• Blueberry Ice
• Blueberry Bubble Gum
• Watermelon Ice
• Iced Cosmic
• Tropical Fruit Ice

I liked the 10 flavors of Enviro and F600 and I continue to vape them and I would gladly vape them all day long, were it not for the high concentration of nic salts they include. I started vaping in 2017 and have been using a low nic concentration in my liquids for about 3 years, sometimes even zero nic!

However the flavors are very pleasant and very sweet, even if they are not too concentrated in the dilution. Enviro produces a slightly wider MTL / RDL shot than F600 ... Some flavors have a fairly strong iced part but never too intrusive, indeed the iced part dosed in the liquid greatly improves the hit in the throat and leaves a good dose of freshness. After hours and hours of using the Enviro and F600 I didn't notice any inconvenience and I really appreciated that these devices didn't dehydrate my jaws! Usually with traditional e-liquids (VG / PG) I am forced to drink a lot of water to counteract dryness in the palate. This in my opinion is the biggest and most obvious advantage that Enviro and F600 are able to give to their users. Very well Innokin!





► Innokin Lota Enviro and F600 - h2o Pods; Final conclusions:
While disposable products continue to be an important topic of discussion in terms of waste and environmental issues, Innokin addresses and strives to improve this issue. In fact, all Innokin products have been packaged in 100% recyclable cardboard for some time and now we also have the Enviro that can be broken down piece by piece. Great Innokin!

As for disposable devices, there are countless proposals from various brands and with different e-liquid capacities, with more or less large batteries and with the possibility of recharging the batteries with USB or not. On some markets such as Italy, the TPD law is in force (2ml max of preloaded liquid) so some companies (including Innokin) they thought it was useless to insert the USB charging socket and that the internal non-rechargeable battery was sufficient to ensure that they consumed all 2ml of liquid. Thus also limiting costs. I'm not able to state with confidence that the Enviro and F600 actually hit 600 puffs, but the feeling is that if they don't hit that number, they still get close. Even if the battery probably runs out of charge first of running out of liquid, preventing you from receiving the unrewarding "dry shots" and this is a logical protection.

So what is the substantial difference between Lota Enviro and Lota F600? The real difference is in the body structure of the devices; Enviro is wrapped in a compressed cardboard tube and is fully demountable piece by piece, and each individual component can be disposed of separately. While F600 is entirely made of hard plastic coated with soft transparent silicone, so the F600 device must be returned to the store to be disposed of correctly, or taken to the appropriate ecological islands.

Lota Enviro and Lota F600 are both preloaded with e-liquid containing the maximum concentration of nicotine allowed by the law Tpd 2% (20mg / ml) the striking thing is that both contain a high percentage of water. Innokin availed itself of the collaboration of the Aquios specialized laboratory which carried out the development using precisely 30% of water in the e-liquid. This means that the PG and VG content is reduced, which in turn significantly lowers the dry mouth problem. I also find it very interesting to note that this new composition has only minimally affected the flavor, which is slightly less concentrated, but which still remains of a high level. Furthermore, Enviro and F600 are able to both return very good performances also as regards the quantity of vapor and the substantial blow to the throat that perfectly follows that of traditional cigarettes. I sincerely believe that Lota Enviro and F600 may really be able to win the battle against smoking for all those people who want to get super simplified devices, reliable against e-liquid leaks and with a very high potential for victory.

Pro:
• Right dosage of nic salts for those who want to quit smoking
• Very comfortable to carry and to put in your pocket
• Simple and easy to use
• Good flavor and good performance
• Smooth and silent puffs
• Good battery life, 600 fairly realistic shots
• 30% water-based E-liquids cause less dry mouth
• Enviro fully recyclable and environmentally friendly

Versus
• F600 cannot be dismantled for recycling

I would like to thank Innokin for providing me with these kits. I hope this review was useful for anyone looking to buy the new revolutionary 30% water based Pods, Lota Enviro and F600.

Thanks for reading.

I’ve bought the endura T1811 vape within the last three works and was working fine until the last couple of days. I’ve never had this brand before but I know the basics about vaping. I can’t get a puff out of the vape. The vape is fully charged , coil is fine and vape juice in the tank. I click it three times it wont turn on , I hold it and the buttons flash white. Not sure how to get it to work in order for me to be able to take a puff. I’ve looked up why this has happened and have tried most things like charging it of course, securing the coil properly and nothing will work

The products we recommend today are the Argus XT and the Argus MT from voopoo uk. Since they are different models, they also have some differences in performance.

Matching TPP Coils, from 0.15ohm-0.3ohm are able to deliver huge clouds for you to feel the stimulating throat sensation, as well as the thick vapor.

Zinc alloy, soft leather, and silicone make up its shell, which can be said to be both rigid and flexible, ensuring both sturdiness and comfort. It is not a problem to hold in your hand and put it in your pocket.

The Esco Bars H2O Disposable water-based nicotine vape device offers 6000 draw-activated puffs and comes pre-filled with 15ml of 50mg Aquios water-based E-Liquid. This is some revolutionary technology from Aquios Labs, which created the first generation of Aquios (AQ30) supports 30% water. This technology from Aquios E-Liquids in this water-based nicotine vape allows users to enjoy more saturated and satisfying flavors with reduced throat irritation.


Upon initial review of the Esco Bars Aquios 6000, we have found the flavor is somewhat smoother and they are less prone to leaving the user feeling parched/thirsty. The flavors seem to taste more natural and less engineered. This will be officially the first water-based disposable vape sold in the world. These are fully rechargeable, feature adjustable airflow on the base, and are about the same size and footprint as an Elf Bar 5000 puff.

ESCO Bar H2O 6000 Disposable Vape Pen Features:

• E-liquid Capacity: 15ml
  
• 6000 Puffs Approx.
• Integrated 650mAh Rechargeable Battery
• Mesh Coil Heating

Hi all.

I have this beginner vape pen. It's great, except that after a while it always starts to bubble when I inhale? I replaced this inner silver bit (I think it's called a coil ?) and that seems to help. But I don't have too many of these, and so need to buy more.
Does anyone know which coils I could buy at vapesourcing.com that would fit this vape pen?
I tried to look but only found some ECO version and it doesn't look anything like the silver one.

Thanks!

Freemax Fireluke 4 and Fireluke 2 Tank not only have different appearances but also have some different features. Do you know the difference between Freemax Fireluke 4 and Fireluke 2 Sub Ohm Tank?

Freemax Fireluke 4 Tank adopts industry-leading FM COILTECH5.0/Double-D Mesh coil technology(Parallel Mesh Structure & Tea Fiber Cotton Formula & Military Grade Mesh Structure, which pioneers the use of innovative parallel mesh structure and achieves a 50% improvement in the flavors and heating speed. However, the Fireluke 2 Sub Ohm Tank applies the FM COILTECH3.0(Diamond mesh with 90% Tea Fiber Cotton and 10% Japanese Organic Cotton Formula).



What’s more, here comes another difference. Freemax Fireluke 4 is designed with a child-resistant top filling system. All you have to do is simply lift and slide the top cap and then fill the tank, super easy and convenient. As for the Freemax Fireluke 2, it adopts the designed Slide-to-Open top fill mechanism. You just need a simple slide of the top cap to make you fill the tank with ease.

One similarity between them is that the X Mesh Coils series, TX Mesh Coils series, and 904L X Mesh Coils series can support both Freemax Fireluke 2 and Fireluke 4 Sub Ohm Tank.

Both sub ohm tanks are compatible with X Mesh Coils(X1-D 0.15ohm, X1 0.15ohm, X2 0.15ohm, NX2 0.5ohm, X3 0.15ohm and X4 0.15ohm), TX Mesh Coils(TX1 SS316L 0.12ohm, TX1 0.15ohm, TX2 0.2ohm, TNX2 0.5ohm, TX3 0.15ohm, TX4 0.15ohm), and 904L X Mesh Coils(904L X1 0.15ohm, 904L X2 0.2ohm, 904L X2 0.5ohm,904L X3 0.15ohm, and 904L X4 0.15ohm).

Maybe this covered before, but I have looked all over the wed and can't find an answer to what should be a simple and common question:

What to do when done vaping for the day?

I have tried various mods/pods/whatever, but still have not figured out what to do with my e-cig after I come home and ready for bed.

Nine times out of ten, if I leave the liquid in the e-cig I get splatter, spittle, and/or a volcano-like eruption from the over-soaked cartridge.

If I drain all unused liquid, the coil tends to dry up and burn out faster.

Just curious why every type to e-cig doesn't come with instructions on how to store overnight and/or what to do with unused liquid. Eventually all my past mods have failed; maybe that's what "they" want to happen so you have to buy a new one every year?!?

Someone has to have discovered what to do at the end of the day to keep an e-cig happy and healthy when not in use, but ready for the next day?!?

Long story short; I lost my newly mixed bottle of 12mg unflavored just before going camping. We were meeting up with our kids, so I called my daughter to bring me a botttle of tobacco flavored. All she could find was a 6mg bottle of Naked 100 Patriot. She also brought a partial bottle of 50mg Menthol in case I needed to mix them; I never did.

Now, it's been over a week and I'm still using the 6mg juice and really haven't found that I'm vaping more to meet my needs. When I get through these 60mls, I'm torn as to whether I should start making 6mg juice or split the difference and make 9mg juice. Either way, my nic stash will now last me up to one and a half to twice as much longer.

5 years ago this month I made the switch to vaping after smoking cigarettes for 42 yrs. Oddly enough, I now live in the same town where I bought my first vape.

Most have been opened and only used once. Free shipping if you buy 3 or more! Pm me for more details about a particular one.

I just started using tanks other than sub ohm. Right now I am using an RDA . I am getting way too much air . Why?
Also how much juice do I put in ?

These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This can be one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. Never use them outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous discharge rating (CDR), never let it get colder than 0°C or hotter than 60°C, and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition. Never use a battery that is physically damaged in any way.

Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.

If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.




Test Results
It’s been over 2-1/2 years since I’ve tested this cell. I’m still asked about the VTC6A a lot so I decided to retest them.

The two cells I just tested performed a little better at all current levels. This is good to see as manufacturers often tweak the performance or cycle life of a cell.

Murata gives the VTC6A a 40A “temperature-limited” current rating. The datasheet says you can run this cell at up to 40A as long as the cell’s temperature stays below 80°C.

There is no true continuous current rating in the datasheet. I am recommending not using them at over 25A continuous since it reaches its 80°C max temp rating at about that level. This is for single cells in open air! If you are using this cell in a device or battery pack then you will need to test the max temp the cell reaches. I recommend staying below 60°C to lower the risk and extend cell life.

Two cells tested out to 4028mAh and 4042mAh so both exceeded their 4000mAh rating. I have not tested the cycle life of these cells.

This cell has a bottom venting ring in addition to the standard venting disk located underneath the top contact. These vents are critical safety devices. I recommend not pressing hard against the bottom of this cell or blocking the possible operation of the bottom vent.

Two cells were purchased for testing by me from 18650BatteryStore (18650 Battery Store - Lithium Ion Batteries, Chargers and Accessories).
