The Airvape Enso Vaporizer is an ultimate shisha device designed by Apollo for people who like to smoke in groups. It is a product meant for desktop usage. I like the fact that it has many features like the Volcano series. However, I could not find a balloon system to store a bigger batch before you can smoke.
Are the manually dominant controls sufficient for you to enjoy your smoking sessions? The Airvape Enso Vaporizer really deserves a detailed review, so I have written this article to answer every question regarding this device. This vaporizer is a delight to use but several features feel alien for a desktop device. I have discussed all these features below.
My Airvape Enso Vaporizer came in premium packaging which I literally loved more than any other product I have purchased to date. The device is placed inside the box as if it were a cabinet. After taking out the accessories, I would definitely keep the box. The device looked heavy-duty and premium like any American electronics device you will find on the desktop. I found the following accessories inside the box:
The Ensō
A USB-C Charger brick
A USB-C Charging cable
A Battery
A Rubber heat valve
2 x Metal lids
10 x Disposable cups
2 x Ceramic cups
A Scrub tool
A Cup removal tool
5 x Silicone mouthpiece tip
A Silicone mouthpiece guard
A Hose
A Purge valve
A Poking tool
Pros
Durable and classy build
Availability of options to smoke any material
Simple method of usage
Flavorful vapor production and decent cloud density
The Airvape Enso Vaporizer is available on the official website for $420. The price is beyond affordable for teenagers but it is the least that a premium desktop vaporizer would cost. I recommend looking around for a discount coupon to reduce the price. Moreover, it only comes with ceramic cups and disposable cups. You need to purchase the herb cup and glass wax cup separately, which is an additional cost.
Design & Build Quality
The Airvape Enso Vaporizer has a sturdy zinc alloy body that can sustain physical pressure and resist rust. Its smooth touch and decent look made me an instant fan of its build quality. The battery is provided separately by the manufacturer, so it is removable. You need to detach the battery for charging and then mount it on the back of the Airvape Enso Vaporizer.
The glass tank at the base of the device is meant to store water for filtration and cooling. The base was somewhat transparent in tracking the water levels amidst sessions. The hose pipe provided by the manufacturer should be attached to the nozzle on the left side of the device. The metallic mouthpiece can be attached magnetically to the right side of the device.
You need to put the cup on top of the device and cover it with the thermocap. The LED indicator is prominent and the thermodial on the face is easy to control. The vegan leather strap preserves the vapor quality and temperature throughout the sessions.
Vaping Performance
My Airvape Enso Vaporizer took around 10 minutes to heat up. The wait was unbearable, as I prefer smoking my vapors as soon as possible. However, the package contains a porcelain ceramic cup with 0.3 grams capacity for long smoking sessions. The porcelain cup has holes at the bottom, so you need to put a meshed screen before loading it. A fully filled cup has the capacity to deliver 45-minute sessions. A wax pad can be used with the porcelain cup to enable smoking oils and waxes.
You can purchase the herb cup separately for shorter sessions. The herb cup is gold-plated and has a dosage capacity of 1.5 grams. Moreover, glass wax cups are also available on the market for cooking oil and concentrate. Though you have to purchase them separately. The water tank at the bottom with a 0.2-liter storage capacity enables the cooling of the vapors. I like the temperature range between 180 and 330 degrees Celsius.
Battery Life & Charging
The Airvape Enso Vaporizer has a 5000 mah battery which is removable and rechargeable. The battery life per charging cycle is two hours. I do not find the rechargeable battery value-adding because the desktop devices can be easily connected to a power outlet.
Apart from this, the Airvape Enso Vaporizer operated at a nominal voltage of 11.1 volts and an electric current of up to 15 amperes. The battery takes around 3.5 hours to charge. The charging port is USB-C. You must detach the brick battery before putting it on a recharge.
Ease Of Use
Though people love the Airvape Enso Vaporizer for its easy controls, I did not like the absence of digital controls. You will find no digital LED screen, which I expected a desktop device to have. The whole handling mechanism is physical and relies entirely on a last LED indicator and a thermodial.
You need to press and hold the thermodial for three seconds to turn the device on. The first LED glow shows the battery life while the second glow indicates the initiation of heating. The thermodial needs an analog turn to increase or decrease the intensity. Each session has a 45-minute duration. You cannot change the session time. Moreover, the temperature range is between 180 and 330 degrees Celsius.
Customization Options
The Airvape Enso Vaporizer does not have a great deal of customization options. You get no mobile app connectivity or digital controls. The usage method is entirely physical and analog. Moreover, the session timer is constant for every smoker. Despite these restrictions, the Airvape Enso Vaporizer is compatible with all the smoking materials. You can use three different types of cups to enjoy the vaping sessions.
Safety Features
The safety features are completely ignored when we consider the Airvape Enso Vaporizer. It has a simple vaping function but does not provide an auto-shutoff feature to make it safe during inactivity. The metallic parts, like the stainless steel mouthpiece, can be prone to injuries because they take time to cool down. However, the manufacturer provides a cup holder to make sure that you safely switch the ceramic, metallic, and glass cups between sessions.
Final Verdict: Is It Worth Buying?
The Airvape Enso Vaporizer is in no way near the Volcano series in terms of convenient usage and vapor density. This device is surely compatible with all sorts of smoking materials but the analogue controls killed it for me. You somehow play a guessing game with the temperature intensities because the digital screen and mobile app connectivity are missing.
The Airvape Enso Vaporizer runs for a long time, so it is ideal for group smoking. However, the rechargeable battery is the most unwanted feature because it is a desktop device. A desktop device can be used directly by plugging it into the power source. It is more affordable than the Volcano Hybrid Vaporizer, so go for it if your budget is limited.
It is extremely enjoyable teamwork that makes RevivalVape a great place to work. It is a passion that we share as individuals who are dedicated to the industry. A small part of something bigger is all that matters to us. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming place for the vaping community.
