The Boge Revolution V2.1<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Revolution V2.1 kit from EVCigarettes<\/a> is something a little out of the ordinary when it comes to an electronic cigarette. Rather than the typical tube type configuration or simple battery box design, the Revolution V2.1 is wrapped in a uniquely styled case. Inside that case is a great battery and a juice feeder that makes for a long-lasting vaping experience. It’s worth a look for anyone looking for a convenient alternative to the typical electronic cigarette.<\/p>\n

\"Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n

Packaging<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Revolution V2.1 comes nicely packaged in a flip top box printed with the device logo and some information extolling the virtues of the electronic cigarette. Inside, the Revolution V2.1 is securely packed in a foam insert along side boxes containing the cartomizers and charger. \u00a0One of the boxes is labeled as also containing the bottle and needle tip, but those came already installed in the unit.<\/p>\n

Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unit itself is extremely light, only 2.9 oz outfitted with a cartomizer and half a bottle of e-liquid, but seems to be quite sturdy. \u00a0It is covered in a soft rubber textured coating that gives it a nice feel but does show smudges easily. \u00a0 A sliding switch on the side has three positions, ON, Off and LED, which we’ll get to a little later. \u00a0A well placed round button on the face activates the cartomizer and also lights three LEDs that show the state of charge – three for fully charged, two for half charged and 1 for low charge. \u00a0The button has a nice solid feel and a satisfying click when depressed.<\/p>\n

\"Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n

The top of the Revolution V2.1 has the cartomizer connection on one side, with a well designed convex cap around it. \u00a0It looks sturdy and there is no visible movement in it. \u00a0The threads are standard 510, meaning that there is a wide variety of compatible atomizers and cartomizers available for use with the device. \u00a0On the other side is the LED that treats the user to a six color light show when the switch is in the LED position. \u00a0I am not sure of the concept behind this, other than to confuse gawkers who catch you vaping in Walmart. \u00a0I would vastly prefer a single white LED that could actually be used to find my way in a dark room.<\/p>\n

\"Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n

On the bottom of the unit are two small doors, one for access to the e-liquid bottle and the other for a cartomizer storage compartment. \u00a0This compartment is a nice touch and makes a great place to store the cartomizer when not in use or to carry an extra. \u00a0The Revolution V2.1 ships with a small metal cap that looks exactly like a retracted antenna to cover the cartomizer connection when the cartomizer is removed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Getting Started<\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting started with the Revolution V2.1 is simple. \u00a0First, the bottle must be removed from the device, which is a little challenging. \u00a0The bottle fits snugly in its compartment and is difficult to get a good grip on to slide out. \u00a0Once it is removed, just fill the included bottle with e-liquid, attach the needle tube, then push the assembly up into the unit. EVCigarettes<\/a> adds a nice touch by including two bottles of e-liquid with the purchase of the kit. Attach one of the five included electronic cigarette cartomizers and squeeze the bottle to get juice into the cartomizer. \u00a0This is where one of the only flaws in the design of this unit becomes apparent. \u00a0Because the tube on the top of the bottle does not extend down into the bottle, the unit must be held upside down to fill the cartomizer. \u00a0The method works, but makes it impossible to tell if the cartomizer is getting full while actually filling it. \u00a0Filling the cartomizer from the top initially is recommended, then a squeeze or two will keep it while in use. \u00a0Removing the small rubber tip from the cartomizer allows the user to see if the cartomizer filling is saturated, but it is necessary to point the cartomizer downward, give a few squirts and then turn it back upright to look at the filler, repeating as necessary. \u00a0This lack of the extending tube prevents the Revolution V2.1 from being a true bottom feeder mod.<\/p>\n

Recharging<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recharging this electronic cigarette is simple, as the device has a mini USB port built into the bottom. \u00a0It ships with a wall adapter and cable, but any mini USB cable connected to a USB port will suffice. \u00a0While the device does not allow the use of the higher voltage when connected to USB like a true passthrough, it does allow the device to be used while charging for uninterrupted vaping. \u00a0The only concern with the internal battery arrangement is the longevity of the battery, which when it eventually fails wil mean the replacement of the unit itself.<\/p>\n

\"Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n

Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Revolution V2.1 is a very convenient variation on the electronic cigarette. \u00a0The battery is stated at an impressive 1400mAh and judging from the long time between charges, seems quite plausible. \u00a0The switch has a nice feel to it and fires reliably every time. \u00a0The included Boge 2.0ohm cartomizers are a great fit for a 3.7v device and provide excellent flavor, a decent throat hit and quite a bit of vapor. \u00a0EVCigarettes is currently including a free drip tip with non-tank kits and that makes the use of the cartomizers even more pleasurable by limiting the possibility of juice getting through. Voltage fresh off of charging measures at 4.2v unloaded and around 3.6v under load, putting the Revolution v2.1’s \u00a0performance on par with some of the best of the 3.7v batteries. \u00a0Being able to vape while charging and easily refill the cartomizer on the go from the internal 10ml bottle makes this device maintenance free for several days at a time. \u00a0 The On\/Off switch and cartomizer storage compartment make it exceptionally pocket friendly.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Revolution V2.1 from EVCigarettes<\/a> is an interesting alternative to conventional looking electronic cigarette kits. \u00a0The combination of long lasting power and juice capacity make it a great on-the-go device. \u00a0While it is not a true bottom-feeding mod, it can be thought of as a cartomizer with a huge backup reservoir. \u00a0In this respect if fulfills its intended purpose nicely. \u00a0 For those who don’t like the idea of carrying a couple of batteries and juice bottles, it is a great electronic cigarette option to consider.
