Hello everyone, and today I am delivering a two for special review. I will be covering two of the latest devices from joyetech, the Exceed NC, and the AIO 10th anniversary edition. These are both stick style all in one devices, but they are vastly different in the type of vape they provide. The AIO is a throwback to one of joyetech’s most popular mouth to lung devices with some small tweaks applied. The Exceed NC is a direct lung device that uses the Exceed NotchCore tank. I will cover operation, how they vape, and give my final thoughts at the bottom of each section.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
MOD OVERVIEW
With many of these small devices, there isn’t a ton to cover. The 10th anniversary edition is a slimmed down and more rounded off version of the AIO that came out 2 years ago or so. It features a child-lock top fill cap, 2ml tank, LED lights, and like I said above, is geared to MTL vaping. The top cap loosely turns to adjust the level of air flow, but all draws are on the more restricted side. This utilizes the BF series of coils, which are readily available as they have been out for years.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OPERATION
Operating this device is very simple. 5 clicks on, 5 clicks off, and press the fire to vape. This device charges via usb. When charging, the tank LED will be illuminated and will go out when charging is complete. To fill the tank, push down on the top and unscrew like a pill bottle. Fill up to the max line on the device and reinstall the cap.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TANK LED
To change the color of the tank LED, hold down the fire button when the device is off. Then press the fire button to cycle through the colors. Colors are red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, white, purple, or no LED. This led is great for checking liquid level in low light.
BATTERY INDICATION
The LED inside the tank will start to blink when the battery level is below 60%. When it starts to rapidly flash, then it is below 30%.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
HOW IT VAPES
I don’t have my old AIO around to compare but based off memory it seems a lot like the AIO of old. Flavor is not terrible by any means, but I do know of many pod systems out there that outperform this one. The draw is smooth, but the air flow adjustment is far too loose, and it can move to a different setting just by floating around in your pocket. The air flow adjustment does have markings to show where it is, so it isn’t hard to get it set back where you had it before it moved. Another thing I found is that 70/30 liquids were a bit too thick for the coils, which in turn leads to dry hits. 50/50 is recommended based on my experience. One thing I can say about this is that battery life is superb, and it seems like it takes an eternity to kill the battery. I vaped it for two full days of work, had to refill once and shortly after the battery was dead.

FINAL THOUGHTS
The eGo AIO 10th anniversary is a rehash of something that is old technology, but I guarantee this old design helped a ton of people kick the cigarettes. It is a great on the go device that is leak free and just works. Considering this is the same old design with minor tweaks it didn’t really excite me, but using it reminded me of the good old days when I had one back in 2016. Sure, the flavor is a touch behind some modern systems, but it isn’t bad by any means. My favorite thing about this is the built-in tank and LEDs. The glass is well protected, and I love seeing the reservoir lit up in low light conditions. The only downsides to this design is if the glass breaks, the device needs to be tossed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, would I suggest this device to you? I would think that for the price, a new vapor would find this a useful piece of hardware. It is very user friendly, works well, and has a good amount of air flow adjustment. Many people are switching to vaping these days are using pod systems, and I have heard a few complain that they can’t find right draw out of many of the top pod systems. That issue is not the case with the AIO, as it has air flow adjustment. Sure, it moves around easily, but at least it gives the option to change from an MTL draw to a tight direct lung draw. Another pro is that these coils have been used for years so they are readily available.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
PROS
Decent flavor
Leak proof
Child safe top
LED lights are cool and can be turned off
Pocket friendly and robust
Battery indication via tank LED
CONS
50/50 juice is best, so many of the common nic salts I could get my hands on don’t work (65/35 and up)
Air flow adjustment is loose
Outdated device by today’s standards
Narrow base makes it easy to tip over

EXCEED NC REVIEW
WHAT YOU GET
1 Exceed NC battery
1 NotchCore tank
2 NotchCore .45-ohm coils
1 Manual
1 Warranty Card
1 Spare Glass
Spare O-rings
UNBOXED
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
MOD OVERVIEW
The Exceed NC is the latest device to utilize Joyetech’s NotchCore coil system. I praised this highly in my review of the Espion Silk kit for flavor, simplicity, and affordability. This stick style device features a 2400mah battery coupled with the same NotchCore tank that came on the Silk for a simple, pocket friendly, on the go setup. It is just a simple setup that performs well, so let’s dive down and get right to it.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OPERATION
Operating this device is just as basic as the AIO I spoke about above. 5 clicks on, 5 clicks off, and you charge it via USB. The only difference is that this device has two different output options. With the device off, hold the fire button for 5s. This will switch between a white or orange led indication. White is direct battery output, while orange is a constant output. This has been implemented in a few devices like this and is nothing new. When you use the constant output mode it will be a bit more balanced throughout the battery life, while the white seems to have a bit more punch right way, but slowly becomes less and less as the battery is depleted. One advantage of this device is the use of LEDs to show battery life. It works in the same fashion that the Exceed did as it illuminates after you release the fire button.
BATTERY INDICATION
Stays lit – 60-100%
Slowly Flashes – 30-59%
Moderate Flashes – 10-29%
Fast Flashes – 0-9%
I love having the ability to see what my battery level is before I leave the house, so this is a big pro for me. The LED also indicates faults of different types, which is a bonus for troubleshooting.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
HOW IT VAPES
The biggest factor to how it vapes is the atomizer on top. This device uses the NotchCore tank but uses a horizontal notched coil with cotton stuffed in like what you would see in a rta. This snaps into a gold plated “fuse holder-like” base. This type of coil works great in this tank and provides an excellent vape. One big pro to this style is that the coils are dirt cheap. A 5-pack of coils goes for about $5-7 depending on the site, so this is one of the cheapest atomizers I have seen to buy coils for. The device itself does a great job of powering this atomizer and makes it a great combo. Battery life on this is also quite good, and I was able to get 1.5 works days out of one charge. I felt a noticeable drop in power before it “needed” to be charged, but it still got me through. The nice thing about a device like this is the ability to toss it on a usb charger on the go and keep on vaping. I charged mine off my computer usb in between breaks on day two and it kept me going until I got home.

FINAL THOUGHTS
The Exceed NC is a nice kit that offers a good vape and great portability. The battery indication is great, 2350mah battery life is decent, and the flavor from the NotchCore tank is excellent. This is designed more for flavor than clouds, so don’t purchase this one thinking you will be bringing a portable cloud chucker along. I struggled to find cons with this one because for what it is, it is done well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, would I suggest this device to you? If you are looking for a small portable device that is simple and produces good flavor, then I would say yes. A person that is experienced in rebuildables may also like this, as the cotton can be replaced. I dry burned mine after the coil was gunked up, then rewicked it with standard cotton, and I was right back to vaping. This option coupled with the fact that coils are dirt cheap makes it one of the most affordable starter kits on the market to operate. I dig the flavor, and like the simplicity. I am not a huge fan of stick style devices, but if they are your style then I would say this is a device worth checking out.

PROS

REVIEW CRITERIA: I use each item for about two weeks to ensure I have collected enough data to adequately write a review. I use the same e liquid in tanks or rdas throughout all my reviews to ensure that I am comparing apples to apples between all modern equipment. I do not post reviews until I feel confident that I have used it enough to give an educated review. The reason I started doing reviews was due to poor purchasing decisions in my vaping infancy about two years ago. Back then, I purchased several different pieces of hardware without really enjoying it and I hope my reviews can guide people into spending their hard-earned money more wisely than I did! ****Keep in mind that some items I receive may be pre-release and not in retail packaging. Quality may be less than the finished product and what is in the package may differ from the retail package as well.
