► Aspire Minican 3; First Impressions:
Aspire with Minican 3 and Minican 3 Pro updates its line of cheaper Pod devices and does so by introducing two new versions. In the image below you can see Minican 3 in White and Minican 3 Pro in Azure Blue. Previously Aspire had churned out; Minican, Minican + (not featured in the image below), and Minican 2. The Minican 3 device of this review has a simple look with a classic form factor for pods, it appears light, thin and slender. It has an automatic operation dictated directly by the force applied during extraction.
The Type-C charging port is located on the bottom and with a charging speed of 1A it allows the internal 700mAh battery to be fully recharged in about 1 hour. According to Aspire this fairly large battery (for a Pod) allows the Minican 3 to be used continuously for 24 hours before recharging. Of course, this data is purely advertising and does not take into account the frequency of use.
Minican 3 has a LED light that will send notifications in case of low battery or malfunctions. There are no activation buttons or displays and this makes Minican 3 very simple to use and truly accessible to everyone.
As I said earlier I received the white version of the Minican 3 for this test, I was amazed seeing how many color variants are available, there are so many! Surely Minican 3 is able to satisfy any taste in terms of colors. Despite a very limited weight of only 36g, the Minican 3 appears solid and well balanced in the hand. The frame is made of plastic with rounded edges, the surface finish appears almost rubberized, really pleasant to the touch.
The compartment / pod has two magnets inside to hold the cartridge, these magnets have a good attraction force and coincide with those on the cartridge. The contact pins are spring loaded and located centrally on the bottom of the compartment.
► Aspire Minican 3; Cartridges:
One of the peculiar features of Minican 3 is the possibility of being able to replace the coil instead of buying the complete cartridge. At the moment a single 0.8Ω spare resistance is available, however the device is compatible with all disposable pods of the other Minican versions with integrated 0.8Ω, 1Ω and 1.2Ω resistances.
In the images below you can see the tank rubber on the bottom which can be lifted to allow the introduction of eliquid (up to 3ml). You can also see the new cartridge with replaceable coil, just pull to extract the coil with its base, and just push to insert the new coil. Minican 3 is the first of its series to use the replaceable coil function and this makes it economically superior to any disposable.
► Aspire Minican 3; Final conclusions:
Discreet and light Minican 3 is certainly the ideal companion for both beginners and experienced vapers. The Minican 3 can be held between the lips even without the help of the hands, indeed it is exactly like this that I do when I'm busy. Minican 3 is well made with durable materials for long time use. The paint with anti-fingerprint technology is smooth, almost rubbery, with excellent tactile feedback. With a constant 3.7V output there is no noticeable drop in thrust even when the battery is low. The ASP chipset with its multiple protections makes Minican 3 safe and reliable. The automatic Puff works perfectly and is very sensitive to every solicitation. On Minican 3 there are no buttons for adjustment or control, so the device is easy to use for anyone.
Aspire Minican 3 Kit is compatible with Minican Pod, Minican 2 and Minican+ Pod cartridges... I recommend using all the cartridges available to appreciate the different shades of airiness and flavor they offer. Having all the cartridges of the Minican series available, I made a brief comparison between them.
• Original Minican 1.2Ω Mesh Pod:
This 1.2Ω Mesh Coil is very responsive, it emits a lot of thick and hot vapor when vaping, I am surprised by this power. The Puff is a restricted MTL type with a very balanced Hit. Before recharging the battery, about a complete tank is made, consumption is very low and even a single ml of liquid lasts a long time.
• Minican 2 1.0Ω Mesh Pod:
Like the previous one, this Mesh Coil is also very ready for any solicitation by activating immediately, the Puff is of the rather airy MTL type with a nice hit in the throat. The aromatic yield of this 1.0Ω coil makes me prefer it to the previous one. Considering the massive production of dense and hot vapor it really feels like using a nautilus which has always been one of the best devices for MTL vaping.
• Minican 3 Pro 0.8Ω Mesh Pod:
Very quick to activate with a well-balanced MTL puff, it offers a truly satisfying hit in the throat, the aromatic yield is substantial at the level of the best disposable cartridges. The clouds that can be produced are generous.
• 0.8Ω Mesh Coil for Minican 3 empty cartridge:
The new cartridge with replaceable coils contains up to 3ml of liquid, and like the previous ones it does not leak or regurgitate liquid and I consider this really important, furthermore through the dark colored PCTG cartridge it is easy to see how much liquid is left inside. The replaceable 0.8Ω mesh coil for now is the only available option and adds quality and savings over the previous disposable type cartridges. Now we can actually talk about a really good performance that comes close to the nautilus which is the benchmark when it comes to MTL vaporizers.
► Pros:
• Super value price of $13.50
• Device compatible with all Minican pods
• Cartridge with replaceable coil
• Pleasant and smooth to the touch.
• Strong magnets
• Coil to Mesh with Top flavor
• Automatic shooting MTL
• Filling from the bottom with watertight seal
• Optimum liquid level visibility
• Aspire's proprietary ASP chipset
► Tips:
• I would have preferred to get a spare cartridge included in the Kit.
• I would like to thank Aspire for providing me Minican 3 for review.
