eleaf iVeni Lite, belonging to the iVeni family, is the smallest version with compatibility of some Pods with other devices in this series. A minimal pod, one of those that does everything themselves. The user is only left to fill the Pod with liquid and vape. Sample sent free of charge by eleaf, without me perceiving any money or having any work affiliations with them.
Dimensions of 24.8 x 14.7 x 109 mm, aluminum body and weight, pod included, of 46 grams. 1100 mAh battery, 20 watts maximum and automatic draw and power delivery. Manufacturers continue with minimal packaging and equipment to align the cost with that of disposables. In addition to the iVeni Lite body, an 0.8 ohm iVeni Pod, warranty, and instruction manual. A USB Type-C cable is absent.
iVeni Pod, capacity as far as I understand only 2 ml, even if the non-TPD variant is purchased. Always the usual cartridge version despite the name, so once the coil is exhausted, I have to throw everything away with the pro of having less condensation and zero leaks. Made of clear smoked PCTG, it's easy to check the liquid level. The refill cap is placed in a location that every manufacturer should copy since, as will be seen, it allows refilling without removing the pod.
If you're afraid of opening it inadvertently, the cap has enough friction and it's difficult unless you go at it with your finger. Always a duckbill mouthpiece but with good contrast. Available iVeni Pods:iVeni 0.6Ω - 15/25 wattsiVeni 0.8Ω - 13/20 wattsiVeni 1.2Ω - 10/12 wattsA small specification, that wattage range is exclusively to realize the margin of maneuver on other iVenis where it's possible to adjust the watts. The iVeni has automatic delivery, so it should deliver a middle ground. There is also the 0.4 ohm iVeni Pod but it is specified in the official manual that the iVeni Lite reads pods from 0.45 ohm upwards; Eleaf therefore does not mention it in its flyers.
The iVeni Pod housing is shallow, so condensation is non-existent. The automatic draw selector is present (the only one available). It will be seen later but thanks to this feature, it is possible to refill (and not dirty the bottom of the liquid after refilling) without removing the iVeni Pod from the body. Magnetic attachment of the iVeni pods and reading entrusted to gold-plated pins.
The airflow control knob, as Eleaf decided to call it in the instruction manual, is chrome and not the same color as the iVeni Lite body. Composed of 3 holes, one larger than the other even if the first and second seem almost the same to me. It varies from a definable MTL draw to an (almost) RDL. It is possible to partially adjust them, uncovering one or two holes and leaving the second and third half open.
On the other side there is the USB Type-C port installed on the side, with 1A charging supported, perhaps a worse specification than this iVeni but unfortunately inevitable when talking about small capacity batteries and trying, by the manufacturer, to make them last as long as possible. Recharging the 1100 mAh battery takes about an hour and a half. USB cable not supplied, a specific one is not needed but maybe a good quality one is.
The bottom is quite small, even here a lanyard holder or a cap on the drip tip wouldn't have hurt, so as to always maintain hygiene and not be forced to always have it in your pocket. CE marking and disposal symbol engraved.
Front side, another poetic license from Eleaf with the LumiDot LEDs, installed about three-quarters of the way up the body which have the task of indicating the battery charge status (or as in the photo, during the charging phase). Very bright since the photo was taken with intense artificial light, they are clearly visible outdoors even in the sun. No physical buttons or screen.
100 - 61%: Green
60 - 31%: Blue
30-0%: Red
Despite the absence of buttons, Eleaf thought to install a draw lock system anyway. They talk about childproof, but beyond having children at home I've always thought it was strange to walk around with unlocked devices in my pocket. To activate or deactivate the childproof lock, 3 puffs must be performed within 1.5 seconds. Other protections:
Low Voltage: when the battery delivers less than 3.3 volts the LumiDot LEDs flash red 20 times
Over time: when the puff is longer than 10 seconds, the LumiDot LEDs flash 10 times
Short circuit: when the iVeni Pod is not detected, the LumiDot LED flashes 5 times or 3 times if it occurs during the puff
Final thoughts: the inclusion of the 0.8 ohm pod is a good move so that the user can easily decide whether to opt for the 1.2 or 0.6 ohm or just stick with the 0.8. For the size, the airflow is good, it's not the usual pen-style pod (it's smaller in person than it looks in the photos) where air seems to pass through just enough, perhaps also thanks to the not-so-deep pod housing. For being a porting of "larger" pods belonging to the iVeni family, if you appreciate these types of ultra-portable devices, the iVeni Lite might be for you.For more info or to better see the other colors, you can visit the dedicated page for the iVeni Lite on the Eleaf website Eleaf iVeni Lite – Sleek, Automatic, and Safe
