Eleaf iCare140/Eleaf iCare Solo Vape Starter Kit Review

First Impression

After releasing the Eleaf iCare and Eleaf iCare Mini, Eleaf decided to release two pen-style devices that improved eliminated some of the defects in the original devices. The Eleaf iCare 140–as well as the 110 and 160–and the Eleaf iCare Solo are pen-style, all-in-one devices with internal batteries and a top-fill tank. Though they differ in design, they both improve upon the original Eleaf iCare. With better airflow and manual fire buttons, these devices better allow for mouth-to-lung vaping. Since the Eleaf iCare 140 and Eleaf iCare Solo are designed for beginners, who are typically trying to quit cigarettes, the ability to mouth-to-lung vape is essential. Otherwise, these are great, simple pen devices. Read on to see what E-Cig Brands had to say.

Eleaf iCare 140/Eleaf iCare Solo Vape Starter Kit

The Eleaf iCare 140 comes with two 1.1Ω replacement coils and a micro-USB cable. Also note that the Eleaf released three pens with different maximum power outputs. You can also purchase this pen as a 110W device and as a 160W device. We nonetheless still prefer the Eleaf iCare 140 because the 110 is just a bit too small and the 160 is far too long. If you really enjoy the Eleaf iCare pen, then by all means go ahead and purchase the 160 because it offers a lot more power. On the other hand though, it’s not as stealthy just because it’s so incredibly long. The Eleaf iCare Solo also comes with two replacement coils and a micro-USB cable. Since both the Eleaf iCare Solo and the Eleaf iCare 140 are beginner all-in-one devices, you are ready to vape right out of the package. All you need is some e-liquid because the tank and batteries are included.

Eleaf iCare Design & Features

The Eleaf iCare 140 is a classic pen-style device that comes in white, black, red, stainless steel, or cyan. It is a round pen that is just the right size for slipping inside a jeans pocket. It’s not going to be quite as small as the Eleaf Mini, which could probably disappear inside your pocket, but it’s nonetheless fairly inconspicuous. Just like the original iCare, you’re going to pop off the cap and screw off the metal pin to remove your coil. Then you can fill up the tank. There is a glass window on the front through which you can monitor the level of your e-liquid. In terms of design, the Solo is very similar, but it’s slightly shorter and has an oblong shape. Personally, we liked the design of the Eleaf iCare Solo over the Eleaf iCare 140, but that is going to be totally a matter of preference.

Performance

Because the Eleaf iCare 140 and the Eleaf iCare Solo have a manual battery rather than an automatic one, they fire as long as you’re holding down the rubber fire button. This makes it significantly easier to mouth-to-lung vape. The iCare and iCare Mini both have automatic batteries, and so customers complained that they ended up inhaling the vapor to their lungs directly every time.

The Tank

You don’t need to purchase an extra tank for these devices because there are 2ml and 1.5ml tanks respectively embedded right into the device. Now usually we’d say that this is incredibly small for a tank, but because these are not sub-ohm devices, they’re not going to guzzle down e-liquid as quickly. So, even if you are or were an average pack-a-day smoker, you’re not going to be constantly refilling throughout the day. Even though you only get 1.5ml on the Eleaf iCare Solo, you should still be able to get through several hours before having to refill assuming you’re not puffing on it continuously.

Eleaf iCare Display & Menu

There is no complicated menu or display on these devices. There is a battery life indicator that will turn from green to orange to red on the Solo and will begin flashing more and more frequently on the 140 as you run out of battery.

Eleaf iCare 140/Eleaf iCare Solo Vape Kit’s Price

Both the Eleaf iCare 140 and the Eleaf iCare Solo cost about $15 on South Beach Smoke, so they’re perfect as gifts. A lot of these mods cost so much that giving them as gifts is impractical, but at fifteen bucks, you could help someone make the move from smoking to vaping. Whether you are looking for yourself or a friend, you won’t break the bank on this one. Sometimes people wonder whether or not to try vaping because they look at the price tag of some of these mods and just don’t feel they can make the investment. These devices take all the stress off of your shoulders simply because they are so cheap.

Overall

Overall, these are great beginner devices. Eleaf did a solid job of incorporating all of the suggestions customers gave them after they released the Eleaf iCare and Eleaf iCare Mini. If you are a new vaper or you simply are looking for a cheap, mouth-to-lungs, pen-style device the Eleaf iCare 140 or the Eleaf iCare Solo could be for you! If you’re deciding between them, just know that they are almost identical in terms of structure and performance, so it really just comes down to which one you prefer aesthetically.
