The innokin z-biip is a well designed AIO that I received 16 days ago from an ECF promotional contest win:
This mod has been my ADV since I received it in the mail and this review is based on that experience so lets get into the review:
Appearance: I received the white mod which is a pearlescent that I cannot manage to accurately photograph, but its a very beautiful mod indeed. Very nice looking, very good finish at this stage of use.
Whats included: The kit comes with a charging cable, which I found to be a decent length for charging on a safe, fireproof surface, a warning and safety insert which I found to be well written, relevant and informative for the brand new vaper, a battery care guide and a warranty card. Also included in the box is a spare 1.6 ohm coil with the .48 ohm Z-Plex3D coil already installed, an empty e-liquid bottle for filling the AIO, a Z-Biip overview or instructional guide plus a QR code to scan for additional instructional videos.
Insert Readability: All of it is very easy to read and understand - I can't stress that enough as inserts from many manufacturers are unclear but this one is very well written so kudo's to Innokin for that.
Audible Warning: This mod has a feature I've never seen before and that is the audible warning that your battery needs charging. I enjoy that the beep occurs while your vaping and believe it to be a very handy feature for me; certainly less to actively need to think about. I do believe that its best to begin charging soon after the first audible warning because by the time you hear the second warning your almost out of time. I have been charging soon after the first warning.
Battery Life: I am getting two full days + out of this battery using it as my all day vape. Battery life is just fantastic.
E-Juice: I am also getting a full day + out of a tank of e-juice, but for the chain vapers out there you may need to have some spare ejuice on hand. I've only been vaping around 1ml - 1.5ml per day - and for me that's heavy vaping so this isn't a guzzler by any means.
Flavor: I haven't used any complex flavors in this pod, but mints, fruits and berries are really shining with these coils. Truly excellent flavor when sticking with MTL flavor profiles and I cant see asking for more out of a MTL AIO with factory coils. I am quite pleased.. Again, as for the more complex flavors I cannot speak to those as I haven't tried any in this mod.
Coil Longevity: These coils seem to last as long as people say they do. My Z-Plex3D coil that came installed lasted a total of 13-1/2 days before I needed to change it. Two coils a month is great longevity when used as an ADV. It ebbed and flowed just a bit, there was once around the 1 week mark it started tasting a bit off, but then flavor came right back and didn't diminish again until late day 12. Yes, I squeaked out another day.. lol. Coils are very easy to change out.
Size: This is a larger AIO than many might expect, but I assume the battery in this takes up most of that. To me, its worth it for the battery life, but its still small and ergonomic.
Fill Port: This is what I see as a negative, but it can definitely be overcome with the addition of needle cap, or actually using the included bottle (which I never did). Instead of even trying the included bottle I did this and voila! Problem solved:
Airflow Control: There is no doubt this has a tighter draw on it, with three airflow options this can be closed down to nearly nothing, yet, it does have nice airflow with all three airflow holes wide open - but then I'm coming from airier devices as of late. For me, this requires a kinder, more gentle draw, but its still satisfying in every way with nice, reminiscent of smoking, clouds.
Conclusions:
After vaping RTA's with more airflow for a couple years I had a bit of a rocky start with this mod on Day 1; inhaling with too much force and getting e-juice in my mouth; overfilling the pod and having the coil leak on me. But I stuck with it, found my pace with a kinder, more gentle inhale that better matched the mod, stopped overfilling, and the mod immediately grew on me. By Day 3 I had the hang of it and it's been my go-to mod ever since. Great for on the go as well as home vaping. Nice all around mod.
When I first came to ECF I was looking for recommendations for a small, user-friendly device to replace the EGO I'd been using for over a year and a half. Since that fateful day I've tried a plethora of mods, RTA's, RDA's and even squonkers. Some of those devices I have loved, some I have put far far behind me, but in its own class and category this Innokin is my favorite and exactly what I was looking for all those years ago when I joined ECF looking for recommendations. The design team really hit the ball out of the park on this one!
Its user friendly, a small enough stature and great flavor - really just a nice mod. I give it 5 Stars, and kitty approved:
If your wondering whether its worth the asking price, I would say absolutely.
