Thanks y’all. I swear I should have taken a side-by-side of them. I kept thinking, this thing is so familiar, but why? Ha
Another grate review! Thanks for doing this. Looks really convenient.
Great review @Silhouette thanks.
I’m sure that this type of kit will be very useful in getting people off the stinkies.
Good review! Great pics
thanks for the review. I have my eye on one of these and will pick one up when they become available (most places have them as pre-orders to ship mid to late April). Question on the coils… They take the Exceed Ex 22 1.2 ohm MTL coils. There is also a .5ohm ETL Exceed 22 coil available. Have you tried that coil in the device and if so did it work well?
I was actually curious about that as well, and wasn’t quite sure if the Edge could handle ohms that low due to the battery capacity being what it is. I have already posed the question to Joyetech and am waiting on their response though. Even if it could use the 0.5ohm, I think the air inlet hole being as small as it is would still restrict the airflow.
Good review @Silhouette! I am getting more and more excited about these new low power devices because they last so long on a single charge. I have mixed up some high nicotine salt e-liquid and they are really enjoyable expecially around 27mg . I’m not by default a MTL vaper either, but I’m learning
.
There are a couple of giveaways here on ELR to get one of these, but at the price you can buy 3 for about what a large mod costs.
thanks for that. if you do find out and also try it out, please post an update. I would have no use for the coils other than using them in the edge. much appreciated. one last thing I’ve been trying to get an answer on. how does the airflow compare to the Aspire Breeze? I’m a rebuildable guy, but I’ve been looking for the perfect on the go, stealth set up. I’m hoping this might be the one. I like the breeze (with both the .6 and 1.2 coil) but would love something with a little more airflow (which I do get sort of defeats the purpose for a stealth set up - but it would also be an out and about set up)
I asked that question and was told:
“can’t use Edge is MTL pod”.
There is no doubt it would screw in and probably fire, but there may be leaking issues or other reasons it is not suggested.
thanks for that. I thought it might have been like the Breeze where you can use a .6 or 1.2 coil. As it turns out I prefer the 1.2 for the Breeze due to battery life. thanks again for the follow up - greatly appreciated.
Nice read thanks for the review!
I sent the question to Ella, so will probably get an answer back sometime soon, she is really good about any questions or concerns, and such a splendid person to deal with. I do know the Atopack Dolphin could use a 0.25ohm Coil, but the battery capacity was a bit higher than the Exceed Edge. You know, I think I like the 1.2 ohm Coil Heads better in the Edge than the D22 Atomizer anyway. I think the flavor is much better with the higher ohm coils in the Edge, while I much prefer the DL coils in the Exceed D22, mainly for the airflow options.
Hey, so I was told it was not recommended to use the 0.5 EX Coil Heads. They may very well work in the device, but it wouldn’t give you any advantage. The Air Inlet is already so small that it wouldn’t make a difference in airflow either way. Hope that helps.
Hi. yes that does help. I know it’s meant to be a MTL AIO, but was wondering if I’d be able to make it a bit more airy. doesn’t seem possible. either way it’s so sleek looking that I will pick one up - just because.
Ok so I did get an Exceed Edge. It’s a pretty good device but it didn’t make it into my favorites group.

filling it, at least for me, is a messy ordeal unless I use a needle tip bottle. Every “standard” 30ml plastic bottle I tried ended up getting juice all over the place - there is no way for the air to escape. I took the little plastic plug out once and that worked great since the air could escape out of the other hole - but it took me a full ten minutes to get the plug back in - that smaller side of the plug just didn’t want to get back in. Ended up dumping the juice I just put in it too so I could muck around with it properly. Still the needle tip bottle works perfectly every time so I have a dedicated juice bottle for the Edge.

It just doesn’t hit as hard as some of my other pods. There is no fix for this. I agree with you 100% - this would have been a much better pod as a 30W device.
-
I bought a 5 pack of coils and a 5 pack of the pods/tanks. All the pods/tanks are fine. 2 of my coils were DOA - wouldn’t fire.
-
I use it mostly in my home office. Again, I agree 100% - 650mAh goes fast. not too big of a deal since I have plenty of stuff at home and it charges fairly quickly.
On the positive side no other pod feels quite as good in the hand. the fire button is absolute perfection. the mouthpiece is REALLY comfortable and probably my favorite of all my pods. It is among my most stealthy pods so it will certainly see plenty of use.
In the end I’ve tried 5 pod system (I will only use open systems): Mi Pod, Exceed Edge, Kimsun slim 2R, Aspire Breeze and Breeze 2. For me Aspire is the clear winner. The Breeze 2 has a few changes which greatly improved functionality. Both Breeze 1 & 2 give a more satisfying vape than any of the others.
I feel like some of these may be going backwards, and lower in power. The Exceed is pretty comfy for someone looking to quit smoking, but some of these devices just don’t have the output to be totally satisfying. I’m sorry you got some bad coils, that sucks. I’d love to get the Breeze for my mom if it gives a more satisfying hit though.
I love that you could compare these, as I don’t use Pod vapes, so that is pretty cool of you.
I use them all - rebuildable tanks, coil tanks, pods and drippers. for me, pods fill a void. I’m the only vaper in my household and I don’t want to be blowing clouds in front of my small children. Pods (and kayfuns) allow me to stealth vape at home. I’m surprised you don’t use pods. I figured since you took the time to review this one that you were a user of pods. While they won’t take the place of some of my other devices they can certainly help to round out your vape experience. Take the Breeze 2 for example. It has a 3ml juice capacity and a 1000 mAh battery - this is enough to get you through at least a couple hours of vaping. Perfect for when I have a bunch of errands to run or just generally being out and about. No mods/batteries/juice to lug around - just one small pod which fits in my pocket. If I’m out longer than anticipated I can top off the power with my car phone charger and I usually keep a spare bottle of my DIY juice in the car. That could get me through a whole day if need be.
The Edge probably would not cut it for a full day but some of the others can (i.e. Breeze 2) Obviously if I’m in the mood for clouds I’m not reaching for a pod. Still all in all given how cheap most of them are I think most vapers would be able to find at least one that meets their needs.
They aren’t really my preference (except for the Exceed, it’s my purse vape) but I buy and try all the ones I think will help my mom out. It has taken a full year of trying to wean my mom off cigarettes, and not mainly because of the devices, it’s been a good bit of resistance as well. I have found a certain balance though through several devices with her. The eGo ECO and Exceed Edge being the most used. She did have the Suorin Air, but didn’t like it at all. The EX Coils used in Edge can be used in the Exceed Box with D22 and she uses that alot. Me personally, I’m an RDA person through and through.
Fair enough. I have a sister who still smokes. I’ve set her up with kits and juice several times but it hasn’t taken yet. I too was thinking about giving her some of my less used pods - who knows that might do the trick.
I like rda’s too but I find myself being lazy lately. some days I don’t even want to press a fire button.
