Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Joyetech declines its products as ranges of automobiles. Thus, after the Egrip, the Egrip Oled CS, the Egrip CL and the Egrip VT, the Chinese giant offers us the Egrip 2.

The Chinese firm is successful in success and this new version of the box all-in-one can only arouse curiosity.

Once again, Joyetech places its product in the mid-range segment. The ambition of this new Egrip is to offer a hyper-scalable product capable of supporting a vaper throughout their journey. This kind of argument is obviously very interesting, especially if, like me, monitoring the evolution of the hardware has led you to spend a lot of money and has made you fall into a kind of geek-attitude.

So let's check if this new album holds its promise.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality 

The Egrip 2 adopts a style that is as classy as ever. Compact: 99 x 45 x 24 in mm, the Egrip adopts the shape of a paving stone with rounded edges and very slightly domed facades. Two rectangular manholes in the corner of each side reveal the 3,5ml pyrex tank in this classic version (a special slightly shorter version offers a 2ml tank… TPD, did you say TPD?).

Open Egrip2
On the top of the box, a cap equipped with a drip-tip uses the system that Joyetech introduced with the Cubis, so we immediately understand the first novelty of this new version.

On the side, a black plate accommodates a large oled screen which takes place in the center. Above, the fire button, ovoid, is flush. Well adjusted, it is perfectly wedged in its enclave. Under the screen, the bar [+/-], also flush, offers the same level of satisfaction.

Finally, at the bottom of this facade, the micro usb port.

Egrip2 screen
The bottom-cap, for its part, receives the degassing holes and a small hole labeled “reset”.

The paint that covers the box is very well made, a choice of five colors is available, from classic gray to exuberant bright red.

The Egrip 2 loses the adjustment wheel so characteristic of its little sisters and sees its size slightly increased. But she adopts a slightly higher level of qualitative feeling and remains physically as attractive as ever.

This new version keeps its promises for the moment and the rest should finish convincing you.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

This new version of the Egrip is more powerful, it can reach 80W. It bears the mention VT on its box, a sign that it therefore carries a very complete chipset:

  • A VW mode and a bypass mode, compatible with resistors whose value is between 0,1 and 3,5Ω.
  • A TC (VT) mode that will work with Titanium, Ni200 and SS316 resistors, whose value will be between 0,05 and 1,5Ω. The TCR mode adopts the same limits. The temperature will be adjustable over a range of 100 to 315 ° C. You can also set the starting power.
  • The Egrip is of course equipped with all the essential security.

In the list of secondary functions, we find the adjustment of the lighting color of the tank (7 to choose from), the clock, the setting of standby, the possibility of putting a logo and even a mini electronic game. The Egrip may undergo updates and we know that Joyetech is not stingy in the field.

The Egrip is equipped with an integrated atomizer which incorporates all the codes set up with the Cubis. Compatible with all the brand's BF coils, everyone will find the one that suits their vape. In addition, the Egrip is supplied with the BF RBA, made to accommodate notch coils.

If you want to use your atomizer instead of the integrated one, a supplied 510 adapter will allow you to transform the Egrip into a classic box. This adapter is fitted with a floating pin, so no “flush” concern.

This Egrip 2 therefore receives the best of what Joyetech is able to produce and, according to all these characteristics, we can already say that indeed, it seems that this box is able to suit as many people as possible and that it has everything it takes to allow a vaper to evolve with it.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The Egrip is delivered in a rigid cardboard box, not very original but correct. The presentation is in line with what Joyetech has been offering us for a long time.

In the box, we find the box, several different resistors, a USB cable, a second anti-juice drip-tip and the 510 adapter. The instructions are in French and a small summary table on the different resistors will inform you at better about the possibilities of the integrated atomizer.

Egrip 2 recap table

We find their optimal conditions of use, energy consumption, juice consumption, vapor production and the level of flavor restitution. I like this type of information, it is reassuring, educational and clear at the same time.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The Egrip is relatively easy to use. I say relatively well because you can solve a lot of things but the instructions are clear, which simplifies the handling.

The different modes of operation make that everyone can find his vape.

The different resistances and the possibility of using its own atomizer really make this box a real Swiss Army knife, which is perhaps why they put a clock 😉.

Egrip 2 resistance

2 Egrip 510 adapter in place
Its compact size makes it easy to consider mobile use, especially since the 3,5ml tank is very correct with the basic resistances and a little fairer with the notch coil. The filling is ultra-simple, the only rule: do not exceed the limit indicated by the small triangular mark.

The box has a 2100mah battery, which will be more than enough for a beginner who vapes at a power of 15 / 20W with a basic resistance. On the other hand, with a sharper coil and at a power of 40W, the battery will not last the day.

The vape that the box diffuses is completely flexible depending on the consumable and, as I said above, the small table will help you choose your coil according to your tastes. The modular airflow will allow you to adapt the rendering to your level of expertise.

For my part, I found the notch coil resistance very effective, a beautiful production of vapor and the flavors are well restored.

In the end, this box is still very attractive, much more versatile than the previous version. It is also easier to fill and the wide access to the tank also makes it easier to clean it. A fine evolution in line with the times.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

It's a real winning comeback for this Egrip 2.

This new version has adopted all the changes that Joyetech has imagined since the start of the year.

An ultra complete chipset that offers a wide range of settings. Small options that are superfluous but quite fun. An evolving box that will satisfy a maximum of vapers and which can accompany a beginner for a long time. From the wisest vape to a sub-ohm vape, everything is possible with the coils offered by the brand. And even if you take the tour, the 510 adapter opens your voice to other atomizers.

Only his Lipo battery 2100mah seems a little fair, but you can not have everything and would probably sacrifice its compactness to have more.

A great product, a top for this Egrip 2 which, I am sure, will meet with great success.
