GeekVape E100i (Aegis Eteno i) Starter Kit Review
GeekVape E100i (Eteno i) Starter Kit is one of the most advanced, to-date releases from GeekVape, and that’s really saying something, since this iconic hardware company is renowned for their groundbreaking innovations in vaping technology. This pod mod starter kit borrows a lot from box mod setups, to deliver the perfect hybrid that blends convenience and travel-friendliness with incredible performance and innovative technology. Not too surprising either, since it’s a member of the iconic Aegis Series, thus demonstrating how GeekVape has yet to run out of some pretty awesome ideas that get our attention.
Gorgeous Visual Details and Exceptional Durability
Visually, the GeekVape E100i (Aegis Eteno i) Starter Kit is an absolutely stunning pieces of vaping hardware. Available in a very modern selection of colors, the chassis boasts a very comfortable silicone finish, housing a zinc-alloy body. Zinc-alloy is the right choice, as it’s refreshingly lightweight, yet one of the most resilient materials in the world, able to handle drops and falls without sustaining any long-term damage to the inner or outer components of the mod.
The matte silicone finish is contrasted by high-gloss metallic contrast panels, and to warp it all up, a leather side panel adds to the luxurious comfort of gripping this device, while providing an ergonomic edge and a slip-proof hold. The device may be pretty robust for a pod mod, but it’s still slender and compact compared to box mod devices, so that you can travel with it much more easily, and conveniently slip it into your pocket or purse compartment throughout the day.
If that wasn’t enough, the device (not the tank) has earned an IP68 rating, which means that it’s been tested to prove that it’s waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and scratchproof, making it one of the most durable devices that you can buy today.
Incredible Performance and High-Tech Features
It is already evident that the GeekVape E100i (Aegis Eteno i) is quite advanced device, housing an unbelievably powerful but stable 3000mAh battery that eliminates the need to maintain your batteries separately from your mod. The battery also charges at a surprisingly rapid pace due to the use of a Type-C USB charging port, that’s extremely intuitive, allowing you have minimal vaping downtime.
Even better, E100i (Aegis Eteno i) is powered by the AS 3.0 Chipset – an advanced chipset (the powerful source of energy to complete all the complex tasks) that enables loads of adjustable functions, all while using intelligent autodetection technology to constantly make micro-adjustments that ensure the most exceptional performance for your unique configuration. Of course, this also allows for loads of safety protocols that help your device perform efficiently and safely, eliminating any risk of harm, or damage to your hardware in the process.
In terms of output, E100i operates at a range of up to 100 watts; quite substantial indeed, because this lets vapers zone in on their preferred vape styles. Besides the adjustable wattage function, this mod utilizes very advanced temperature control, with temperatures ranging from 200-600 degrees Fahrenheit, so you’re guaranteed a sweet-spot vaping temp.
Essentially, the output modes to explore are:
- Smart Mode: Uses intelligent technology to ensure the most ideal configuration for battery efficiency, in order to preserve battery life as much as possible.
- Boosting Mode: Dispenses more fuel behind each hit you fire, so that you can get more flavor and cloud production each time you inhale.
- VPC Mode: Enables the user to customize different power levels (wattage) in set increments, which in turn, supplies a power curve over a puff duration (time).
- Power Mode: Turns the device ON/OFF and sometimes on a timer.
Also, the sliding A-lock bar switch makes this mod totally childproof, and even prevents accidental firing so that you don’t have to worry when you’re carrying the device in your pocket, purse, or bag compartment.
To use the device:
- Clicking the firing button 5x will turn the mod ON/OFF
- If you would like to cycle thru modes, clicking that same firing button 3x and then using “up & down” toggling to go through them and then clicking fire to accept the desired mode.
Meanwhile, a large rectangularly bright & colorful LED screen on the mod’s chassis makes it simple to explore all of these settings and features, with a pair of navigation buttons that are adjacent for an intuitive experience. The display screen also lays out some pretty important vaping stats in real-time. That way, you can check the battery life, puff count, installed coil configuration, and more. Now in terms of firing, a tactile button initiates the process of creating clouds of vapor so that you can inhale effortlessly through the mouthpiece.
Remarkable Vapor Output and Flavor
Included is a 4.5mL GeekVape Eteno Pod – a pod/tank hybrid (can be easily switched from pod to tank), offering up best of both vaping worlds. It attaches magnetically to the mod (510 magnetic adaptor that’s not included) – a far more convenient way to attach and reattach when needed, all while ensuring a secure connection as you travel with your kit throughout the day.
Eteno Pod is crafted from high-grade silica glass (both durable and resistant to heat), while perfectly preserving the flavor of your e-liquid. Refilling your tank is incredibly easy, as it uses a top-filling system that features a removable cap so that you can access the juice well easily.
A dual-slotted airflow control sing sits at the base of the tank, permitting you to make adjustments to the tightness of your draw, to seamlessly switch between MTL (Mouth-To-Lung) and DTL (Direct-To-Lung) vaping styles with a quick turn of the dial. However, this device is still tailored more for DTL vapers. Speaking of pulls though, the dip tip is large and removable, and it’s a standard 810 Delrin tip.
Also, this pod tank is compatible with the high-grade P Series Coils (a pre-installed 0.2Ω P Coil and a spare 0.4Ω coil), supplying a variety of configurations to match the range of output possibilities with the E100i device. These coils install easily through a press-fit system at the base of the tank, so you can just pull the old one out and push the new one in. Not to mention, Geekvape P Series Coils have an anti spit back mesh core and longer service life.
