AH - The Innokin ENDURA T18 Complete Vaping System . . .
Right off the top, in case there is someone new that is reading this post – let “Me’ just say, as someone who started this Transition into the Vaping World 4 years ago with more than just a little trepidation that an “Electronic Cigarette” could possibly replace smoking a real cigarette . . . Nor, that I would even be willing to use anything bigger then a “Cig-A-Like” device, since I was just as steadfast in wanting something that was as easy and convenient as walking into a store to buy a pack of cigarettes . . . Boy, have things changed in the last 4 years. . . More importantly, to anyone interested in quitting smoking cigarettes and hasn’t tried an Electronic Cigarette, I would say to them . . . Come on over and give it a try . . . There is so much available and that is so different today than there ever was before in the “Vaping World” . . . You, never know what may happen . . . But - You just might find that “Vaping” with an Electronic Cigarette is a way to finally say – I No Longer Smoke Cigarettes . . .
Okay, it’s just been over a week – 12 days to be exact – since I received the Innokin ENDURA T18. I was skeptical and even more doubtful that the Innokin ENDURA T18 would be anything to “My” liking, especially if I was just starting out given its size. So - Of course, I had to put it through its paces if I was going to write up “My” impressions and opinion about using this as either a first time user to the Vaping World and/or a Dual User/“Tootle Puffer” like I am.
As - For “My” first impression . . . When I opened the box up of the Innokin ENDURA T18, I immediately saw – Thankfully, that it is NOT an “eGo” style in size or use (close - but not that close) . . . Then again, is it NOT like a smaller “Cig-a-like” that uses just a battery & refillable Cartomizers either. SO - What is the Innokin ENDURA T18 . . .
In all honesty, IMO – it looks as though it is a very well made product that is quite sleek in design. Compared to other similar devices, it is more like a “Cig-A-Like” on steroids, since it is a little hefty and larger than a 510/KR808. More importantly, the ENDURA T18 looks as though it is very easy to use. There are 2 main sections, the Battery & Controls; and then there is the “Prism T18 Clearomizer/Tank” – that houses the atomizer coil & holds the drip tip. . . THAT’S IT ! ! !
So what could be easier to deal with ?
What’s even better is that everything has been so simplified to use, put together, and take apart too. Matter of fact, everything is almost just “Plug & Play”, since all you really need to do is “Pull”/“Press”/”Pour” (very few “Screwing” parts). What’s more important, there is no need to do any research to see how the Innokin ENDURA T18 really works out of the box. Not only is there a very detailed picture on the inside top of the box, there is a very detailed Owner’s Manual that will tell you exactly what you need to know and do included in the kit, with comprehensive “Safety” instructions too. In addition, the control button on the battery – while simple in design, functions not only as an on/off switch (3 Pushes On – 3 Pushes Off) and “Firing” button, it also lets the user know when it is time to charge the battery with the LED indicator lights that surround the button (Green, Fully charged – Yellow, Half empty warning – Red, NEED to recharge). On top of that is the ease of the Prism Tanks Top Fill – You just open the top and “side-fill” the E-liquid into the tank. Even those of “Us” who might have had problems filling tanks/cartomizers before will find this extremely straightforward and uncomplicated to do. So how could you go wrong, especially since it is so easy & convenient to use – particularly if you are just starting out.
Now – For the more practical side and hands on use of the Innokin ENDURA T18 . . .
I tested the ENDURA T18 using The Vape Tree’s Absinthe E-Liquid w/ “Menthol Crystal Liquid” & Kolada added to the mix. Also, I evaluated the ENDURA T18 itself based on “My” experiences, using both a manual & automated 1100/1300 Batteries (Manufacture preset at 3.7 Volts with a cutoff of 10 seconds) and 1 manual VV battery (Set at 10w/5v) and a Carto-Tank.
With “My” first vape using the ENDURA T18 . . . WOW – I could automatically tell that this device is a powerhouse – it surely gave me more Vapor than I expected at first. So much so, that it should even make a “Cloud Chaser” happy with the open draw and “airflow”. Given this, I would be remised and it would be negligent of me if I did not point out right now a Warning, especially for first time users of electronic cigarettes – DO NOT – and I MEAN DO NOT – push the button to take a deep drag and immediately inhale the vapor (The results usually are not fun – I mention this from firsthand experience - Just Sayin’ . . .

). AND - Since the Vapor is quite plentiful and comes out very easily (remember this is a 14W/10V & 1.5 coil – not 3.7v battery with a cartomizer), so until you are use to how much vapor this produces, I would strongly suggest taking shorter “drags” into your mouth than inhaling into your lungs – as though you were smoking a cigarette (aka “Tootle Puffing”

).
Thankfully, the Prism T18 tank does come with a 510 style SS Drip Tip (there is also a Delrin 510 Drip Tip that is available that has even a slightly narrower opening) and not one that is wider. Once I changed out the Drip Tip to the Delrin and adjusted my intake of vapor to take more Mouth-to-Lung hits, I came to realize how much Flavor this set-up can produce too. Even with the open draw of the Prism T18 Tank the vapor was slightly warm and pleasant, really brought out the full flavor of the E-Liquid I was using. I even tried another E-Liquid that I was not to pleased with when I first tested it a while ago (Well – I found out I still don’t like it . . .

). This brings me to letting “You” know about “Cleaning” the Prism T18 tank - talk about being easy and convenient. All I had to do was open, rinse well, let dry, refill with new E-Liquid, and vape away – EASY PEASY ! ! !
Thankfully - Innokin has not only listened to their consumers, they have gone back to the basics to develop something NEW – The ENDURA T18 ! ! !
Now – The down side, although I can appreciate the fact that some people may want to and Innokin has mentioned that it is possible since there is built-in protection against overheating, for safety reasons alone - I would not ever use the ENDURA T18 as a pass-through and vape while charging the battery. Given this and that a majority of beginners usually NEED more than one battery; it would be really nice if there was an option to get the ENDURA T18 as a Kit with 2 Batteries and Prism Tanks. Also, I really do not like plugging a USB cord into “My” Computer to charge any battery, so I wish there was a wall charger that was made specifically and designed for that would accommodate charging this size battery included with the kit – Or that one was more readily available from Innokin for all these new products.
Okay to summarize it all up . . .
Although the Innokin ENDURA T18 – is not in any way like the “Cig-A-Like” I started with over 4 years, nor an “eGo” that so many other use – IMO, it really is a game changer for beginners and those like myself who really want something that is easy, convenient to use, and cost effective, especially if you can afford approximately $25.00 or find it on sale . . .
OH – BTW: Almost forgot to tell Ya’ – there is also a little Innokin “Stand” to place the ENDURA T18 on that is included in the kit too . . .
So - Whether or not you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced user – once again, IMO – The Innokin ENDURA T18 is another piece of Vaping equipment that should be considered and maybe even be in everyone’s arsenal, including “Tootle Puffer’s” and Yep – even “Cloud Chasers” too (Ya’ just might surprise yourself using this one) . . .
