I want to review the Twisp Aero. My reason is to save vaping newbies from making a misinformed, possibly wrong decision when entering the wonderful world of vaping.
Like many others on this forum, as a naive newbie, 2 weeks ago I started out with the Twisp. I chose the Aero as the salesman at the oh so much spoken about kiosks at the major shopping malls convinced me it was a great powerful device. The power of advertising and clever sales talk will suck you in to the wrong path, trust me.
Firstly all the connecting threads have too few threads making the parts not connect tightly enough. This results in juice leaking into the battery section through the tiny coil.
Secondly, you have to clean all the connection posts and mouth piece at least 3 times a day if you don't want a mal function. If you buy this lightweight unit, also buy lots of boxes of tissues and ear buds.
The atomiser holds a tiny amount of juice. Every time you fill it, you have to clean the inner bore.
The mouth piece gurgles most of the time requiring regular cleaning. Often I get a taste of raw juice in my mouth when doing a mouth to lung hit.
Thirdly, the Twisp "Pure tobacco" and "Signature" tobacco burns my throat after the first few hits. It seem that only after the device is fired a few times and warms up, then the hits become smoother. Of course, the salesman is going to tell you to: "Only buy Twisp Juice as it is designed especially to work in Twisp atomisers." This is limiting if you want to experiment with the myrid of juices out there.
If you enjoy big hits and making big vape clouds, this is the wrong device for you. It's more for a person who enjoys light puffs and blowing out medium clouds. If you are a moderate to heavy vapourer then this is definitely not for you.
The only thing nice about it is it looks quite trendy. It will look nice at a social function. But it won't look nice when you have to take it apart and clean it.
I am still on the same coil that it came with in the box. This is a small plus.
I made a huge mistake by wasting R1000 on it. When you see what is out there at the numerous vape shops and after reading this, and other forums you realise that there are dozens of much better devices out there for a few extra hundred Rands.
For example, a week later, I bought an iLeaf iStick 60 Watt temperature control Mod with a Melo 2 tank plus a battery for R1550 from The Vape Shop in Gateway shopping centre. This device is amazing for its price. It's like comparing a Mini to a BMW. There are many other devices in that price range which will blow your mind compared to this little Twisp minnow.
In conclusion: read this forum and make an informed decision before you dive into the Twisp world. Otherwise you may end up like me with a dose of "buyers remorse".
