Effectively, nicely, nicely. Take a look at what we’ve got right here, the Innokin Endura M18 that takes it’s identify from what might be the most well-liked and most offered MTL Package on this planet.

If you don’t recognise the identify, I’m certain you’ll recognise the gadgets.

The Endura vary launched in 2015 and has been an amazing vendor ever since. The primary Endura package was the Endura T18, then got here the remainder (T18II, T18II Mini, T20, T20-S, T22), though there’s variations between the kits, they’re all considered one of a sort…

Till now.

The Innokin Endura M18 is the primary pod system within the Endura vary.

Nevertheless, it is very important know, it isn’t the primary pod system from Innokin. In truth they’ve fairly a number of, those that spring to thoughts are the EQ, I.O, Sceptre and Glim.

Earlier than we transfer on, let’s take a look at Innokin’s bragging rights…

Innokin is without doubt one of the oldest manufacturers that we all know as we speak. It was based in 2011 and operates a ten,000m² manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China, with after gross sales providers and restore facilities within the USA and the UK.

It’s additionally proud house owners of 35 Invention Patents, 122 Design Patents, 286 Patents for Utility Fashions and 131 Processing Patents.

It’s clear that Innokin is able to excellence, let’s see in the event that they achieved it… once more.

What Can We Anticipate From The Innokin Endura M18?

Rightly so, Innokin has branded the M18 as “the subsequent technology machine within the Endura Sequence“.

Innokin has adopted the pod rotation adjustable airflow management system, which consists of eradicating the pod and turning it 180 levels to alternate between tight or open draw.

The M18 fires at 10W however it additionally has a ‘increase mode‘ which turns the wattage upto 13.5w. It has 3 LED lights to point the battery stage and an extra LED to point increase or regular mode.

It has a 700mAh battery and takes a USB-C charger with a 0.8A (800mAh) cost ranking.

Innokin has introduced out a brand new coil for the M18 and regardless of it’s totally different form and look, they’ve discovered an attention-grabbing option to make them appropriate with the T18E, T22E, T18II and T18 Mini coils. The desk above was made by Innokin and tells you which of them coils are and usually are not appropriate.

Construct & Design High quality

The Innokin Endura M18 Package is available in 6 totally different colors, and I used to be lucky sufficient to obtain the Silver One.

There’s additionally a really good-looking Restricted Version model:

The Innokin Endura M18 Package – Battery

Though the physique of the Innokin Endura M18 seems a bit of bit sq., the bottom form of the machine is oval with flat sides which makes it match the hand amazingly nicely.

I’m unsure what materials Innokin has used to make the physique, however it’s metallic (I’d guess at Zinc Alloy) and it feels actually nice. It has a Satin / Matte end leaving it good and easy however not slippery easy.

It feels pretty sturdy, however no extra sturdy than it must be.

There’s a beneficiant see gap on the back and front of the package, to permit us to simply see the liquid stage. The holes truly go all the way in which to the underside of the pods inside, which permits us to see each final drop of liquid.

The underside of the entrance, has the “ENDURA M18” embossed simply above the 4 LED Indicators.

In the identical place on the again is the CE and WEEE Logos that are simply above the Innokin emblem. All of these are embossed which makes it fairly shocking that Innokin determined to place the battery data on with out embossing it.

The largest, if not solely, design side that I don’t like about this design, is the USB-C location, which is on the underside. Nevertheless placing the USB-C port of the facet of the machine would have drastically modified the aesthetics of the machine.

We’ll speak extra in regards to the USB-C later.

The Innokin Endura M18 Button

In simplistic vogue the M18 solely has 1 button and it’s positioned on one of many sides on the backside.

It’s a black sq. button and as a substitute of protruding its ever so barely set in to the machine, which is helpful to cease unintentional presses.

Often the buttons location and elegance could be a little bit of a burden, however we’ve got to do not forget that the Innokin Endura M18 is auto-fire solely, so the button is solely to vary the ability settings, making it greater than ample.

The Innokin Endura M18 Airflow

On the alternative facet, half approach up the machine is the airflow gap that measures about 1 x 2mm. It’s shocking how a lot air will get by way of such a small gap.

It’s able to pulling a really unfastened MTL draw, which is unfastened sufficient to make use of as a really restrictive Direct To Lung (though the machine isn’t designed for use as DTL).

Worry not although! If you’re in search of a extra restrictive draw, all you need to do is take away the pod, flip it round 180 levels and put it again on.

With the airflow set to the extra restrictive setting, it’s a bit of bit much less restrictive than a cigarette however it does create a pleasant restrictive draw.

Innokin Endura M18 – LED Indicators

The Innokin Endura M18 Package has 4 LED Indicators. The primary 3 are white they usually signify the battery stage.

One gentle = Lower than 20%
Two lights = Between 20% and 60%
Three lights = Greater than 60%

This can be a easy and smart way of displaying the battery stage and it does appear to be pretty correct, I simply want they has made the final 1 gentle to symbolize Lower than 30%, as a substitute of 20%, to provide you that little bit of additional warning.

The 4th gentle shows both Inexperienced or Purple to symbolize the ability setting.

Inexperienced = 10W
Purple = 13.5w

The Innokin Endura M18 Pod Connection

The pod connection is pretty deep and is a comfortable match.

Within the backside of the connection port is 2 small (however enough) magnets within the center is the destructive and constructive terminals.

Fairly apparently, to make the coils appropriate with the opposite Endura kits, Innokin has set the constructive pin decrease into the port – it’s easy and chic, I prefer it.

The one factor I don’t actually like in regards to the package is as a result of the port is so deep, it is going to make it that bit more durable to scrub the underside of the port. Having mentioned that, it’s not that a lot of an enormous deal, I can attain the underside of the port with my finger.

Nevertheless there’s a vulnerability right here. The highest of the port doesn’t bend simply, however it is going to bend.

So my recommendation could be to by no means go away it laying round with out a pod in it, simply to be protected.

The Innokin Endura M18 Pod

The Innokin Endura M18 pod base comes off, I suppose it’s simply one of many some ways Innokin has designed the pod to have the ability to be backwards appropriate with coils.

However having the twist the bottom of the pod off to vary the coil is somewhat paying homage to altering the coil in a Endura tank, by which you need to screw the bottom off.

The pod has a lip that runs across the prime, that covers the sides of the port, which completes the smoothness of the package general.

As you’ll anticipate, the mouth piece is in-built and is an extended oval form, that measures 18 x 7.5mm on the tip and 12mm tall, I believe it matches the lips fairly properly.

How Does The Innokin Endura M18 Carry out?

Flavour Manufacturing

Initially, I’m utilizing Obtained Salt Peachy Promise, which is a peach and keenness fruit goodness. As you in all probability guessed it’s a 50/50 Salt Nic..

Let’s break this down and ensure we cowl all the things.

With the inexperienced gentle (10W) and airflow absolutely open, we get a good flavour, it isn’t big, however it’s satisfyingly distinguished.

Turning the airflow right down to restrictive, lessens the flavour a good bit, you may nonetheless style it, however it isn’t all that spectacular.

Lets kick it into increase mode (purple gentle /13.5W), nonetheless with the airflow turned down, bumps the flavour up a bit, however it appears to be distinguished in a single puff then much less distinguished within the subsequent. All in all it’s OK, however I’m not impressed.

Subsequent is the final choice and it’s the choice I’m trying ahead to probably the most, purple (13.5W) with airflow absolutely open.

And there it’s, superior flavour manufacturing. It’s good and condensed behind the throat on the inhale, after which it rises by way of the again of the mouth on the exhale.

As a Direct To Lung lover, I’m not going to say it’s the very best flavour, nevertheless I’m fairly impressed.

Innokin Endura M18 Vapour Manufacturing

Although all the above, the vapour manufacturing was spot on, for my part.

Even at 10W the vapour feels easy and thick on the inhale however is pretty discrete on the exhale.

It may be likened to the quantity of smoke from a cigarette

Excessive VG

I spent a full day utilizing the Innokin Endura M18 package with the Untold Chapter 1 E-liquid, blended at zero nicotine, 70VG 30PG.

And I used to be pleasantly shocked at how nicely it dealt with it. The flavour and vapour output was comparable with the 50/50 nic salts and I didn’t get any dry burning.

Nevertheless, if you happen to’re in search of an extended coil life I’d recommend sticking to 50/50 VG/PG e-liquid, purely as a result of all coils last more with 50/50 by nature.

Battery & Charging

The Innokin Endura M18 has a 700mAh, so firing it as 10W, you may anticipate 466 x 2 second puffs ( a 2 second puff each different minute for 15 hours.

In increase mode (13.5W) you’ll anticipate 345 x 2 second puffs (a 2 second puff each different minute for 11 hours.

I bought 12-14 hours out of it on common.

Due to the 0.8A cost ranking, it ought to take slightly below an hour to cost the battery…

Sadly I didn’t handle to pin down precisely how lengthy it took, however it undoubtedly took greater than 45 minutes and fewer than 60 minutes to completely cost.

Innokin Endura M18 – Leaking?

I’d prefer to say there isn’t any leaking, however I don’t suppose we are able to ever actually say that with a pod.

As I write this there’s some juice contained in the pod port however I believe it’s extra on account of condensation than the rest, as a result of there’s as a lot on the partitions of the pod than there’s on the underside.

Professionals

First rate battery life
Very nice vapour
Okay Flavour
Straightforward to see e-liquid Stage
Can use excessive VG
Good adjustable airflow

Cons

Charging is OK however might be sooner
Condensation construct up

Last Evaluation Verdict

I prefer it, I actually do, it’s easy and simple to make use of is able to nice flavour and superior vapour.

It’s exhausting to say what Innokin might enhance on… perhaps sooner charging? However even that’s neither right here or there as a result of 1 hour is an honest cost time.

So who’s it good for? It’s good for everyone, these of us which can be sub-ohm’ers in search of a MTL for after we’re within the workplace or these of us trying to get off the cigs.

In truth with the disappearance of the unique Smok Nord I believe I’ll be stocking the Innokin Endura M18 as my advisable Give up Smoking Package.
