The modern market for electronic cigarettes is literally bursting with an abundance of powerful conceptual devices. For lovers of thick clouds and true vaping enthusiasts, this situation, of course, is only pleasing, but what about those who are looking for the most authentic replacement for ordinary cigarettes among all this variety? A humane price tag, tight tightening, “pen-sized” and a small amount of steam, so as not to disturb others around again – the list of requirements seems to be modest, but in reality it is very difficult to find a model that meets all the stated criteria.

With a certain stretch, except for disposable electronic cigarettes, they fall under the given standards, but nothing good can be expected from them. Doubtful taste transfer, high price – for the same money you can take a full bottle of decent aromatic liquid, limited service life (with the active use of such a device, it’s enough, by force, for a day) … Of the obvious advantages, only compact sizes remain, but this, you must agree weak consolation.

And here the heroes of our today’s review – electronic cigarettes #ReStart – enter the stage . We did our best to avoid making too loud statements, but we have to admit the obvious: these babies are really able to turn our understanding of elementary-class devices. How will they do it? Now let’s figure it out!

First contact

It is worth noting that #Re is a whole line of devices united not only by one brand, but also by a common concept. Right now, it consists of only two models of the Start series, but you have to start somewhere! The first version looks like an oblong flattened “stick”, the second looks more like a small keychain or the same lighter. Technically, the differences between them are minimal, so the choice here depends only on which form factor you like best.

Let’s start with the main thing: who is our new product for today? In theory, the main target audience of “restarts” should be those who have not previously dealt with electronic cigarettes. In practice, even vapers with experience will be able to appreciate the virtues of our miniature heroes!

In any case, when acquaintance with the #ReStart family of electronic cigarettes, it is important to remember the following: these devices are designed not to replace your usual mod, but to stand in a place that used to be reserved exclusively for “oddities”. True, with one significant addition: the new product is an order of magnitude more convenient and affordable than anything you have had to deal with before.

You can buy a #ReStart electronic cigarette or cartridge for it at the supermarket cash desk, at a tobacco kiosk or at a gas station; you can throw it in your bag or pocket “just in case”, or even just hang it on the keys in the form of a key fob so that it is always at hand. Pour a strong “tobacco” into it, and this baby will always be ready to satisfy your “nicotine hunger” without disturbing the surrounding people with huge clubs of steam. Sounds promising, doesn’t it?

Dimensions and battery

Talk about the technical characteristics of #ReStart is worth starting with a discussion of its size. As you know, the compactness of this model is no coincidence derived as one of the main advantages of the line: the height of the flattened “stick version” is only 115 millimeters, width – 17 mm, thickness – 9 mm. Of course, with such dimensions, the device easily fits in any (even chest) pocket, and on the desktop takes up no more space than a standard felt-tip pen. The second electronic cigarette #ReStart is made in a kind of lighter form factor and, in terms of compactness, is not inferior to its lanky brother in any way: height – 62 mm, width – 37 mm, thickness – all the same 9 mm. The true standard of minimalism!

The devices from the #ReStart series are equipped with a built-in battery and a separate micro-USB connector for connecting a charger. The claimed battery capacity in both cases is 350 mAh – for several full-fledged breaks this is quite enough, but you should not count on a full day of active use. At the same time, the passthrough option is provided here, which allows you to charge and steam the device at the same time – if you are used to spending a lot of time in front of the computer screen, the question of the autonomy of #ReStart electronic cigarettes should not bother you at all. Of course, there is no question of any voltage stabilizer. Simply put, the more the battery is charged, the more steam the device emits.

But on the case of the electronic cigarette there was a place for a small LED, which will help the eye to determine the current charge of the built-in battery. It works according to an intuitive “traffic light principle”: a green signal indicates a high level of charge #ReStart, yellow – medium, red – extremely low (the indicator gives the same color when charging the device).

Failureless “machine”

Another absolute advantage of #ReStart electronic cigarettes is the emphasized ease of use, which is doubly important for models of this class.

You do not need to turn the device on or off: a cigarette is activated automatically when tightened. No “press five times”, “hold the button while tightening” – everything is as simple and convenient as possible. We drag out – we get steam. The good old “automatic”, already quite forgotten by vapers, comes to the fore again! By the way, in #ReStart it works very smoothly and reliably, there is nothing to complain about.

Here we allow ourselves a little digression. Imagine that winter is in the yard (now it’s not difficult), and the fighters for the purity of office air ruthlessly drive fans to smoke / steam outside. Alas, it is far from always possible to find a reasonable compromise: it can be very difficult to find a free minute for a full-fledged smoke, and the abundance of steam from modern devices scares colleagues and causes disapproval from the authorities. Question: what to do? Here the hero of our review comes to the rescue – the #ReStart electronic cigarette! Minimum steam and maximum pleasure – the perfect solution for office workaholics! It is especially pleasant that even with the most active soaring you will not have to be distracted by refueling the tank every hour and a half. #ReStart models use replaceable cartridges with a built-in vaporizer that hold an honest 2 milliliters of liquid.

Successful replacement

It is curious that #ReStart cartridges are reusable: for someone, of course, it will be easier to discard the old “cartridge” and install a new one in its place, but if you wish, you can always fill in the liquid yourself (the manufacturer does not mind, we recognized). Everything is simpler than simple – pull the cartridge out of the case, turn the mouthpiece down, pull out a small silicone plug and fill the mixture directly from the bottle. It is clear that the capabilities of the built-in evaporator will still not allow turning #ReStart into a fully-fledged “serviced” device, but even with this approach, the savings are very, very noticeable. Again, the possibility of refueling allows you to soar almost any liquid , which means that you do not have to give up your favorite aromas.

The most interesting thing is that #ReStart electronic cigarettes quite confidently digest even mixtures with a high glycerol content. To be honest, this surprised us a lot: “baby restarts” do a great job with 60/40 fluids, while demonstrating a very decent taste transfer and decent steam generation. In fact, the liquid 70/30 for our new products is also tough, another thing is that when using truly thick mixtures you will have to make tangible pauses between puffs.

To summarize. Undoubtedly, #ReStart electronic cigarettes will not only become an ideal “office” option, but will also appeal to all lovers of simple and compact solutions. What can I say, a full-fledged electronic device the size of a keychain is very cool! In general, the #ReStart team managed to create a truly unique device, pleasing with a democratic price, excellent taste transfer, ease of management and an elementary service system. The golden mean, as it is!
