In this review, I will introduce you to the older version of the transparent mod from Rincoe called JELLYBOX 228W for two 18650 batteries.
After reviewing the “younger” version of the Jellybox Mini mod, it is quite difficult to describe its older version called JELLYBOX 228W. The problem is that they are practically no different in terms of design or capabilities, but I will still try.
JELLYBOX 228W packaging
For some reason that is unclear to me (and usual for Rincoe), the JELLYBOX 228W mod is not available in the official online store. However, it can be found in almost all third-party Chinese sites in the “pre-order” and “coming soon” states, and at a surprisingly similar price: $54.90 for a set with a tank or $44.90 for just the battery pack itself. buy e-liquids The price at the start is, in principle, reasonable, but over time it should drop by at least 20-30 percent, which will make its purchase much more justified. In any case, you will receive a white cardboard box, decorated on the front side with a photo of the device and a mark with the current color. On the back side there will be a description of the delivery set, warnings, the manufacturer’s address, a sticker with an authenticity verification code, social network icons and several certificates.
The basic kit does not please with variety: a mod, a tank in color, a spare evaporator (the first is installed in the tank), a USB Type-C charging cable, two instructions (for the tank and the mod), a warranty card and a card for passing an internal quality check.
Like its younger brother, JELLYBOX 228W can be in one of three color solutions: completely transparent white, amber and dark plastic. Two metal parts – the battery compartment cover and the screen cover with the connector are always gray, with a slightly “scratched” metal structure, but at the same time covered with varnish. The main design feature, a transparent case, in this mod does not look as impressive as in Mini. The fact is that due to the increased size, the board inside has become less noticeable and almost does not attract attention (although the yellow color, on the contrary, attracts). The quality of workmanship is frankly pleasing: everything is done as carefully and technically thought out as possible, to the point that from the outside you can only see two screws, and those on the connector, and all the rest of the fasteners are hidden (although visible through the walls) from the inside. Structurally, the mod is made according to the scheme with the central location of the 510 connector and the placement of the controls on the end: the Fire button is on top, below is a small color screen, and below are two buttons for setting parameters. All keys are pressed with a clear and quiet click and do not rattle when shaken. The Type-C connector for charging is located on the side, accordingly, the device can be charged both vertically and horizontally. But, as I said, say, and will say: buy a separate charger – it is both faster and safer.

What I liked:
Finally, a new and sensible dual-battery mod!

What is simply good
Thermal control
Fast board
Simple control

Backlight that can be left off
What could have been better
It is still plastic, so scratches are inevitable
There is no way to completely turn off the screen
Minimum supported resistance is 0.08 Ohm

Rincoe JELLYBOX 228W – view with different evaporators
Well, what can I say in the end: if the JELLYBOX MINI was simply delightful, then the JELLYBOX 228W no longer evokes such vivid emotions. This is just a solid mod for two batteries with simple control and a nice appearance. Correctly selected heat shrink on the battery and drip or tank will significantly increase its attractiveness in the eyes of the owner and others, and the relatively low price will justify the purchase in yours. What was a little disappointing was the supported resistance of 0.08 Ohm. Well, seriously, 2021 is outside the window, for tanks on evaporators this is still an unattainable value, and for drips it has long been a thing of the past, the power allows it, why not update the electronics or firmware?
