Joyetech Penguin SE Review

Joyetech Penguin SE

This arrived at my mailbox and I don’t know who sent it…..(thank you to the sender)...

This is a very nice AIO…..I love the light weight (because it’s all plastic) and the shape….it really does fit well in the hand(even my small hands) and it will surprise you with the output….

I trusted it enough to take it out for a day trip and it didn’t let me down….It ran out of charge about the same time as it ran out of juice…(8.8 ml’s in 7 hours)....

From what I can tell they have added the side windows in the SE version so you can see the amount of liquid without removing the tank cartridge...I like that….

It’s easy to fill...and simple to use….no adjusting the temp/watts or air holes...…..the 5 lights count down after you fire it to the amount of charge left (when it gets to 1 dot I usually charge it)...

You can adjust the air intake by pushing it against your chin or using a finger to cover some of those holes.

I love the cartridges in that you can label them with different juices and just carry those with you if you prefer….(and they are very inexpensive)...they come in 2 ml & 8.8 ml..all you do is remove the cartridge, pull out the coil and using a squeeze bottle in the big opening....

I like the ceramic coils...I found I prefered the .25 oHm coil (the wider one) better...but for me it only lasted a week…..then everything tasted burnt….so I switched to the .60 oHm spare and it is also tasting burnt after just 2 days…..so it might be the high VG level I vape with...(I was using the same juice I always use)....

I looked at some other reviews and I am finding that this is an ongoing issue from the original one….so they need to improve the coils or the injection system…..


Pros:

I sure enjoyed it while the coils lasted...the output was awesome & I love the longevity, capacity weight & size….side window for liquid level...amount of liquid it holds...overall ease of use...

Cons:

The coils or the coil system…...something needs to be corrected before I would highly recommend this to anyone…..

The kit came with 1 cartridge, 2 coils, charging cable and some silicon covers...(and the warranty papers & instructions)...

I have also had a bad run with ceramic coils..specifically the cCells ....and yes...being a ceram noob I did all my research ahead of time..followed all the priming guidelines..and still got burnt hits right off the bat!.....Like you..I was running a Max vg juice at the time so I dunno if a lower mix shoulda mattered.
Thanks for the review!...I've been interested in the Penguin since it came out but have shied away from buying it because of the ceramic coils. So far I,m not convinced that the burnt coil issues have been addressed. Hopefully Joyetech will consider offering an alternative coil set up cuz I really like the Penguin!
I would normally suggest requesting some more replacement coils from the retailer...mayb it's just a bum lot of coils or it's the vg ...but since you don't know...

I have one on the way... can't wait for it to arrive! Hope the coils are little better now.. after the first batch got released.. maybe they dialed them in a little better.
