Recently I have started to collect AIO's, and decided to do a little write up, and give my personal take on what I have so far.
The Contenders:
1. Aspire Mulus 80W, 18650
2. Asvape Micro 30W, 1100 mAh
3. Lost Vape Q-Ultra 40W, 1600 mAh
4. Rincoe Manto 80W, 18650
5. Think Vape Zeta 60W, 18650
The more AIO's I get, the more of them I want. I'm excited, not only by the form factor, feature set, and convenience, but also by the selection of AIO's available out there. Especially the one's that have an RBA available. Out of that list, the one's I have RBA's for so far, are the Rincoe Manto and the Think Vape Zeta. I have RBA's ordered for the Aspire Mulus and the Q-Ultra. There are more AIO's I am interested in that I will link at the end.
Think Vape Zeta 60W AIO. I've had this AIO for almost two weeks now, and I'm loving it. The coils that came with it are pretty decent, but it was the RBA that I was interested in. The RBA is easy to build, and performs really well. I used one of the pre-wrap coils that came with it. It came out to 1.06 ohm, and I'm vaping it at 15W. The taste is great, with good vapor production. Next build, I am going to wrap my own wire to make it a lower resistance, and vape at a higher wattage. The pod in the Zeta holds 3ml of e-juice. The Zeta is very solid, weighing in at 215 grams with an 18650, and is heavier than even my biggest AIO, the Mulus, but has a smaller foot print. It just feels of excellent quality and substance in the hand, and is the perfect size for my hand. Both sides of the Zeta have removable panels. On one side, is the fire button, display, and adjustment buttons. On the other side, is the pod, and battery compartment with a window to see the juice level. The panels rattle a bit, but don't bother me in actual use. The tank is easy to fill, and replace the coils/rba in. The Zeta can be used for either DTL, or MTL, and performs great for both. Over all, the Zeta is my favorite AIO so far. I would recommend it to people that like the AIO form factor, and like to build their own atty's.
Rincoe Manto. Another solid AIO, that has an RBA for it. The Rincoe coils are just mediocre, but the RBA is great. Easy to build, great taste and cloud production. The only thing I don't like about the RBA, are the post screws. They are tiny straight slots that the screw driver easily slips out of and stabs you. I dug through my extras, and found better grub/phillips head screws to replace them. Hopefully they will fix this on future versions of the RBA. Like the Zeta, the pod for the Manto holds 3ml of e-juice, and is also smaller than the Mulus, but weighs about the same as the Mulus, and is also more solid/quality feeling, weighing in at 154 grams with an 18650. It has one removable door panel on it, which covers the pod and the battery, and has a window where the juice level can be seen. On the other side are the power button, display, and adjustment buttons. Like the Zeta, the Manto can be used for both DTL and MTL, and is good at either. I like both the Zeta and Manto, but the Zeta edges the Manto out as my favorite AIO so far. I would recommend the Manto to people that like the AIO form factor, and like to build their own atty's.
Aspire Mulus. It's one of the AIO's I don't have an RBA for yet, but Aspire just released the RBA for it, and I have it ordered already. In the mean time I have been using the Nautilus 2S coils for it, which are really good. They are 0.4 ohm's, and rated for use at 23 to 28 watts. I use them at 27 watts, which is just perfect for me. You can also use any of the other Nautilus coils, like the BVC and AIO coils in the Mulus, so it's a very versatile device. The pod for the Mulus holds 4.2ml of e-juice. The Mulus has the biggest foot print of all my AIO's, and weighs in at 156 grams with an 18650. It has one removable panel. On the one side, there is the power button. On the removable panel side are the pod, battery, display, and adjustment buttons. The window to see the juice level is also located there. The Mulus is not a cheap feeling device. It's just not as solid feeling as the Zeta and Manto are. I have been using Aspire products for a long time, and have never had a problem with any of them. This is another AIO that can be used both DTL or MTL equally well. I like the Mulus a lot, and will be anxious to try the new RBA in it. I would also recommend the Mulus to those who like AIO's. I'll edit this post when I get the RBA to let you know what I think.
Lost Vape Q-Ultra. This is one that I EDC. It's as tall as the Mulus, but in a nice thin and light form factor, weighing in at only 92 grams, with a built in 1600 mAh battery. I don't have any experience with the previous Lost Vape AIO's, but this one is pretty nice. It's got a nice feel to it, and gives great flavor from its pod using the coils. I use the Ultra Boost M1 coils. They are 0.3 ohms, and rated for use at 30 to 40 watts. It also has 0.6 and 1.0 ohm coils available. There is also an RBA for this device that I have on order. The pod holds 4ml of e-juice, and has a convenient external fill port on the top of the pod. There are no removable door panels on the Q-Ultra. The pod attaches to the top of the device, and detaches with a slider switch. The power button, display, and adjustment buttons are all on the edge of the device. I like the Q-Ultra for its light weight. I can hardly tell that it's in my pocket. It's got some phenomenal flavor with the coils I use, but I am eager to try out the RBA. I'll edit this post when I get the RBA to let y'all know what I think. The Q-Ultra is advertised for use as DTL or MTL, but it has a fairly loose draw, no matter how you adjust the air flow. That's fine for me, because I am a DTL vaper, so I can recommend the Q-Ultra to DTL vapers, but probably not so much to MTL vapers.
Asvape Micro. The Micro weighs in at 85 grams, with a built in 1100 mAh battery. It also has the smallest capacity for e-juice, with a 2ml pod. It's nice for throwing in the pocket, and can be used for either DTL or MTL. It has one removable door that slides open to reveal the pod, display, and power adjustment buttons. On the other side is the power button. As far as I know, there is no RBA for the Micro. At least not that I've been able to find. The coils for the Micro give really good taste, and perform very well. I would recommend the Micro to those that just want a small, easy to use, stealthy device, that is a big step above a simple pod device. This fits the bill very well.
Well, that wraps up the comparisons. Overall, I like the AIO form factor and convenience. For the most part, they have the features of a mod and tank kit, and most of them have RBA's available for those that like to build. Most of them also have replaceable 510 drip tips, which I see as a plus. So, for anyone that wants a full featured device that's easy and convenient to carry and use, the AIO form factor is the way to go.
As I mentioned earlier, there are several other AIO's that I'm interested in. Here are the links if you're interested in some of the other AIO's available out there. Thanks for taking a look at my little review today. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
