Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Sub-ohm clearomizers supporting temperature control have been on the rise for several months. All brands, including those that we did not expect, have released their model, more or less successful, to participate in the frantic race for competition. Thus, we were able to see successes praised by critics and acclaimed by the public like the Kanger Subtank mini V2, as bitter failures which I will be careful not to give the names, not being a natural informer. 

Personally, the category interested me but never fascinated me. Indeed, being above all a lover of flavors and not of oversized clouds, I could not find my marks at all in a world where the volume of vapor was done, with a few rare exceptions, to the detriment of the development of the most taste. elementary. Vape like a locomotive with the flavor of a CE4, thank you very much, but it's not for me. 

I was pleasantly surprised, however, by the EGO One Mega which seemed to me to come out of this closed system by offering sufficient vapor while not ignoring the taste.

Also, it is with a valiant heart that I attack the TRON, the latest offspring in the field of Joyetech and which, if it was first available as a kit with the latest version of the Evic VTC Mini, is coming out these days. here solo. Available in white, black, cyan, gold, gray and red, it can be said that the emphasis has been on color. Especially since seals that shine at night (?) Are delivered to you at the same time so as to be the king of the track during your next holiday at the campsite of La Morue et du Thon qui wriggle! Wizzzzz! Play of light and smoke machine, you are ready for the show! 

Another thing, the TRON exists in version S, with windows which allow to see the level of the liquid and in version T, full tank but with a glass on the top around the drip-tip to try to see if the bottom of the 'ato is empty or if there is still some juice in it using, of course, a flashlight not supplied. So I chose the S version, being a rather classic boy and above all devoid of the slightest interest in caving. 

A last index of size: 21.90 €. I think everything is said, we are on a low price equipment. Is this good or bad?

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

It's small, it's light, it's shiny. Here are the first observations. The vital signs are satisfactory, we move on to blood tests. 

The tank is made of Pyrex but this one before breaking it, you will have to bring a good size hammer, protected as it is by a good thickness of steel. The metal parts are therefore made of stainless steel, covered for the external elements with a veil of glossy paint, like ceramic paint, with a very beautiful effect. I admit I don't know if the hold over time of this coating will be good but in any case, it flashes, especially in the ruby ​​tint of the one I'm holding.

The quality of fit is not a problem, nor the threads. Everything is perfectly done and, as we expect no less from the brand, it's pretty good. A downside however, I told you about phosphorescent silicone gaskets, it turns out that they pose two problems: first they are too loose and therefore have difficulty staying in their housing at the top of the ato and above all they are phosphorescent like the conscience of a politician! Nothing helped, not even prolonged exposure to light, it doesn't shine brighter than the worn chrome of my car. Nothing too dramatic, then, given the usefulness of such a device, but if you were intending to wage a lightsaber battle with your mods against your vaping buddies, it's shabby!

Too bad, you will console yourself with a beautiful ato well made and well presented and, after all, that is what we ask of it above all.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

It is therefore a clearomizer but it offers interesting functions, especially at a price that defies the tenors of the category.

First of all, we can use three different types of proprietary resistors, all mounted in vertical coil:

  1. The CL (black seals), in kanthal, which are available in 1Ω and 0.5Ω. These coils are perfect for beginners who don't want too much vapor (remember your beginnings…) and benefit from a tight draw.
  2. The CL-Ni (blue seals), in NI200, available in 0.20Ω and 0.25Ω. They will go perfectly to benefit from the temperature control of a mod and offer a very airy draw.
  3. The CL-Ti (red seals) in titanium, available in 0.40Ω. I remind you that titanium can release titanium dioxide, so be careful especially, if you use this type of resistive, not to impose too high temperatures on it (> 260 ° C) and not to dry-burn !!! ! 

Joyetech TRON Resistors

BUT, there is also the possibility of opting for a resistance called CLR, optional, which will open the doors of the reconstructable. This resistance being delivered mounted in titanium, I advise you to transfer this m .., sorry, this resistive wire upon receipt and to try a stainless steel assembly which seems to be the only wire allowing to take advantage of the temperature control (on the mods who accept it) without taking any health risks. A good 316L or a 317L will be perfect! And in addition, on the Evic VTC mini, it works brilliantly! This rebuildable resistance also has the advantage of being equipped with a liquid inlet management ring, in order to adapt your resistance to the viscosity of your juice. And finally, it costs 2.90 €. No hesitation at this price!

The new feature that comes to us with the Tron is an adjustable and invisible airflow! What do I hear, what do I hear, what do I not see? An invisible airflow! Houdini or Copperfield would they have been there? Nay, there is simply a gap between the tank and the airflow ring which sucks the air and transmits it in a slot, hidden below the adjustable ring, dedicated to the absorption of the gas element. Nothing spectacular or even revolutionary, but an aesthetic “gimmick” which has two interests: first, we do not see an airhole and then, it avoids leaks. It is clear that in use, it works very well even if the non-visibility requires that we rely more on the sensations in the mouth than in his eyes. For me, it's even a plus, because what matters is in the steam. 

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Medium
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

The drip-tip is the same color as the body of the ato, it's beautiful. But it is not the same metal since it is plastic! Too bad for the purists and all the better for those who can't stand the presence of metal on their purple lips.

Considering the fact that the drip-tip is still provided with two O-rings, that it is all the same pleasant in the mouth and that it does not heat up, I give it absolution!

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5 4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

A cardboard box, simple but very well equipped with a dense foam suitable for protecting your ato in transport, presents the Tron-S, a bag of “phosphorescent” seals 💡 which do not phosphor but which can add a personalization to your atomizer as well as three resistors, one in kanthal of 1Ω, one in N200 of 0.20Ω and one in titanium of 0.40Ω. We add a notice in English but quite clear and a warranty card.

I looked for Wifi and a crossbow, I couldn't find it. But let's face it, for € 21.90, the consumer is not taken for an idiot. A good level of packaging.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Tested with the resistance in 1Ω, we take a good taste. The flavors are clear, very well transcribed and even a bit saturated. Taste as if it were raining. We are clearly above the fray, clearly. For those who were looking for a replacement for their Nautilus, this is the ideal candidate! The rendering is tight in this configuration but the vapor is very far from being ridiculous. We can clearly see that the design gave pride of place to flavors and beginners who will begin their initiatory journey on this machine will have a great chance of falling in love from the first job. Quite simply a killing!

Tested with the resistance in 0.2Ω in Ni200 at a temperature of 500 ° F and at 75W (let's be generous), I expected to lose these consistent flavors in favor of a more important but invasive airflow. Well, I was seriously wrong. Of course, the airflow is airy, very airy and the steam spreads in my living room like acne on a teenage face. But the flavors remain intact! At this level, it is almost a physical impossibility and yet, Joyetech gave us a sub-ohm clearo which, functioning as well as its competitors in direct inhalation and as a cloud generator, gives us a taste quality that even some drippers do not send! Better than a surprise, a miracle!

The Ego One Mega is beaten flat on this theme and other competing clearos, even famous ones, can go powder their nose, the Tron-S is in place, it costs half the price, it sends heavy on the level cloud and, novelty, it is as much flavor-chaser as cloud-chaser. 

The rest goes without saying… no leaks, a consumption of V8 tempered by a decent autonomy and the practical aspects of filling and careful cleaning, it is very simple, it lacks only the word!

The mood ticket of the reviewer

There was the Neanderthal. Then homo-sapiens. Then homo-sapiens-sapiens. Then homo-vaporus. And finally the Tron-S!

A technological gem, pretty, inexpensive, efficient and reliable. And finally a clearo which is as concerned with flavors as with vapor. Finally, you will no longer have the impression of vaping the air from your shower but rather to discover previously hidden aspects of your favorite juices.

I'm on the posterior. I did not expect to test, at this end of the year of parties and orgies (I exaggerate, I know), the best clearo that I have had in my hands. A pure wonder that I can only advise you to get yourself because, with the price that you will get on occasion from your previous clearos, you can even buy several!
