Recently there is a rather interesting tendency not all vapers are happy to use very powerful box mods that work from three batteries and allow you to get 300 watts of power. The reason for this is quite simple, not all vapers are ready to use complex windings with 0.03 ohm resistance, which require a lot of power to heat up. Many are quite satisfied with resistance 0.2-0.4 Ohm, for which it is enough to have a small box mod that takes up a minimum of space. Therefore, manufacturers pay special attention to compact devices. Eleaf has presented small starter kits to vapers many times, and one of their latest creations is the iStick Rim Kit. This kit will immediately attract attention not only with the design of the box mod, but also with the complete Melo 5 atomizer, and the vaper is guaranteed to get an easy-to-use device that is able to please with its flavor and bulk. We can safely say that such a starter kit will be a great option both for beginners looking for something simple and reliable, and for experienced vapers who want to get a good stealth device.
General data
Eleaf iStick Rim Kit is a starter kit consisting of a box mod with a rather powerful built-in battery and Melo 5 atomizer on interchangeable vaporizers, thanks to which there will be no problems with flavor and bulk. Box mod iStick Rim is made in a rather original, but far from new form factor, which will pleasantly surprise with ergonomics and ease of use. The presence of a built-in battery is unlikely to scare anyone, as its service life without significant loss of power is a year and a half, and this is quite enough for many. The complete atomizer has already been used by Eleaf in other starter kits, and it has proved itself as productive, easy to use and able to give good flavor and bulk by installing vaporizers on the grid. The Eleaf iStick Rim Kit can be purchased in six original colors macaron, darkness, rainbow, e-green, wildness and maze.
Delivery set
Given that Eleaf iStick Rim Kit is a fairly standard starter kit, so the manufacturer has equipped it according to all the principles and canons of devices of this class. That’s why in a simple white cardboard box the vaper is waiting for it:
- iStick Rim Battery box mod;
- MELO 5 atomizer with pre-installed 4 ml bubble glass and EC-S 0.6ohm Head vaporizer;
- Spare EC-M 0.15ohm Head vaporizer;
- Spare glass 2 ml;
- 0 USB Cable for fast charging;
- Spare O-rings;
- Two user manuals.
iStick Rim Battery box mod
The first thing that will attract the vaper’s attention in the iStick Rim box mod is the original color designs, which are difficult to describe with ordinary colors, so the manufacturer also did not make up a lot and gave them their brand names. Thanks to this, the vaper will get an original device that will definitely stand out among the standard black and silver box mods.
The shape factor of the iStick Rim is no less original than the color scheme. It is impossible to say that it is a tube mod, as it does not have a correct round shape, rather it is a rectangular device with very rounded corners and edges. Such a shape is interesting because the ergonomics of the device is just excellent. The landing pad for the atomizer is steel, allowing you to install tanks and drip pots up to 26 mm in diameter.
An important feature of the device is that it runs on a built-in battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh, which is a pretty good figure for such a compact device. The battery is charged with the help of QC3.0 USB connector, which allows you to fully charge the battery in 40 minutes, so vaper can almost always have a fully charged device at hand.
The iStick Rim box mod is equipped with a proprietary chipset that not only allows you to get up to 80 watts of power, but also has a full set of protections – from low/high resistance, from overheating, from short circuit, from overcharge/overdischarge. In order for the vaper to control the operation of the device, it has a small monochrome display where you can find standard information.
MELO 5 Atomizer
As in 98% of starter kits Eleaf iStick Rim Kit is equipped with an atomizer running on Melo 5 replacement vaporizers. This tank is already known to vapers who follow the novelties of the market. We can safely say that the tank is quite decent, allowing you to get a good flavor and bulk. When using bubble-glass, the vaper will get not only the volume of 4 ml, but also additional rubber rings on it to protect it from falls (in fact, it is an additional element of decoration).
Melo 5 uses EC series vaporizers, and the kit comes with two vaporizers EC-S 0.6ohm Head and EC-M 0.15ohm Head, which will allow the vaper to choose the optimal vaping mode depending on personal preferences. But don’t forget that EC series consists of nine different vaporizers of different resistance and materials, so it’s up to the vaper to decide which one to choose.
Atomizer blowing system is standard puff is regulated by turning the adjustment ring in the base of the tank. Refilling the tank is extremely simple and familiar to many people. In order to fill it, you need to pull the top cap up and push it straight, opening a rather large hole, into which the liquid is poured.
Conclusions and impressions
Eleaf iStick Rim Kit is a starter kit that will pleasantly surprise both experienced vapers looking for a compact and productive stealth device and beginners with its ease of use and maintenance. In any case, the kit is worthy and interesting.
