In this review, I will talk about convenient disposable cartridges with replaceable cartridges for 3000 puffs from the VAPENGIN Company under the name JUPITER 3000.
Disposable devices have an advantage over any other solutions primarily due to their ease of use. I bought it, opened it, and vape. Problems can appear only in two cases: either the built-in battery runs out, or the liquid in the tank runs out. After which all that remains is to throw away the device and look for where to buy a new one. In advanced models, both problems have been solved long ago, the first with the ability to recharge, and the second with an impressive volume of liquid filled. It would seem that everything is fine. But new problems arise: to replace the taste, you have to buy a new device, essentially throwing away each time a completely working battery with a used resource, well if a couple of percent.
The solution is quite simple and lies on the surface – divide the battery and cartridge into two independent devices, as is done in pods. canadian vape shop montreal This is exactly what the engineers from VAPENGIN did, presenting the JUPITER 3000 and Jupiter 6000 models, based on a modular principle. The sets differ only in the sizes of the cartridges, and therefore we will consider exclusively the junior representative of the Jupiter line.
You can get more information on the Russian website vapengin.org, where you can agree on wholesale supplies. For retail, as usual, look for devices in your nearest vape shops.
JUPITER 3000 kit packaging
Disposable JUPITER 3000 will hit store shelves either as complete sets (as in this review) or as individual replacement cartridges without batteries. In any case, the packaging will be made of thick cardboard and designed as fully as possible. On the front side you will see an image of the assembled device, a list of the main features, the name of the flavor and the obligatory horror story about addictive nicotine. The sides will reveal to you information about the contents of the kit and once again remind you of the name of the taste. The reverse side of the box is given to technical and legal information; there will also be marks on the production date, expiration date, certificate icons and a sticker with an authentication code. The sales barcode is hidden on the bottom flap, and on top you won’t see anything except the name of the line.
Inside the box, the cartridge and battery pack are placed in separate bags. Or only the cartridge, if you purchased it exclusively. Don’t be confused during your first purchase! To protect against unlikely leaks, the reservoir is closed with a silicone plug inside the mouthpiece channel and a small red sticker on the contact group.
JUPITER 3000 structure
Both parts of the device are made of transparent plastic, but surprisingly, little of the internal filling is shown. Hidden inside is another layer of plastic, decorated with various elements with a hint of cyberpunk. More details about the features and decorations will be below, but for now I’ll focus your attention on the low weight of the device and its compactness. I won’t even talk about the fact that visually it seems smaller than it actually is, this is already noticeable in the photographs.
The halves of the JUPITER 3000 set are connected when the cartridge is inserted into the recess of the battery pack. The components are held in place by two pairs of fairly powerful magnets, while current is transmitted through two small spring-loaded contacts. There is no option to adjust the tightening force; air simply enters the evaporator through a small hole above the charging port (you will see it in the photo below). Behind the central hole, slightly protruding in the center of the battery block, there is a noise sensor that turns on the electronics during your puff. There is no on/off mechanism either, just connect the halves and start vaping.
Charging process
The device is charged with a current of 0.5 Amperes, which is not very much. So you will have to wait about an hour for a full charge, watching all this time the LED above the VAPENGIN sign light up, which will change its color from red to blue, and then green. And then it will go out completely.
Immediately before testing, I give you the opportunity to examine in detail the battery and replacement cartridge from all sides. Click on the photo to enlarge it, so you can see all the design elements of both halves.
The battery part is notable for its USB Type-C connector for charging, styling as a futuristic energy source and “+” and “-” marks under the VAPENGIN logo. The cartridges are decorated in the same style, where in separate windows you can see the name of the flavor in English and the expected number of puffs. The Jupiter 6000 model’s replacement cartridges look exactly the same, only twice as tall. The color scheme, flavors of the liquid poured in and the design remain the same.
Testing and tastes of JUPITER 3000
You can compare and evaluate the sizes of JUPITER 3000 sets with an AA battery or the most ordinary lighter in the photo above.
Inside each battery pack there is a battery containing a reactive alkali metal – lithium. Such batteries should not be thrown away with household waste, but should be taken for recycling or special disposal.
JUPITER 3000 – PEACH MANGO WATERMELON
Rich and vibrant taste, powerful and pure. The sweetness increases gradually, smoothly turning into a gorgeous sour note. The flavor bouquet changes from peach to mango, the first is more noticeable during the inhale, and the second will remain with you during the exhale and in the aftertaste. The watermelon part is almost invisible and can only be found after carefully studying your sensations, at the level of a distant taste during a deep puff.
JUPITER 3000 – GRAPE ENERGY
The piercing smell of the Isabella variety will cover you immediately after opening the package. The taste when inhaling also leaves no doubt and does not allow false interpretations. Punchy grapes, slightly tart, pleasantly sweet to honey notes and barely sour in the aftertaste. The taste of energy drink appears after a couple of puffs; it is not the most powerful, but clearly noticeable. Once you smell it, you will definitely recognize it with every puff.
JUPITER 3000 – STRAWBERRY MILSHAKE
The aroma of the berries is soft and unobtrusive, somewhat reminiscent not so much of jam as of strawberry jam diluted in milk. The inhale taste is sweet and delicate, more milky than berry. Stable both on inhalation and exhalation, and then also long in the aftertaste. The mix flows extremely easily and naturally, leaving behind extremely positive emotions. I highly recommend purchasing.
JUPITER 3000 – BLUEBERRY RASPBERRY
Don’t look too hard at the Russian name; this is an obvious mistake by a translator who is not very familiar with vaping traditions. There are no blueberries in the taste, and the name BLUE RASP should have been translated either as “blue raspberry” or not touched at all. The one-dose has a distinctive taste, somewhere between raspberry and blackberry, with hints of lemonade on the inhale, an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity on the deep draw, and a very noticeable cool note on the exhale. This taste will be indispensable in hot weather, but in winter it is better to vape it exclusively indoors.
Personal impressions
The idea of making replaceable cartridges is far from new, but making them larger than the device itself and, in fact, concentrating the main attention on them is something I have never seen before. And the flavors turned out juicy and bright (with a couple of exceptions related to my personal preferences). So if you like to change your tastes often, but don’t want to overpay for “extra” batteries, JUPITER from VAPENGIN will be an excellent solution for you.
