In this review, I will tell you about a nice and very beautiful mod designed for one 21700 battery called JELLYBOX MINI from the Chinese manufacturer Rincoe.
Pod, pod, pod, pod, disposable, pod-mod, pod, pod. Tired of it? We are not delighted either, but what can you do – this is how vaping is now. The release of each new “normal” battery block is perceived as a holiday, and if it also has a successful design – then this practically guarantees people’s love. Well, at least, I think so, and what regular buyers of the same Pods think – I do not know. In general, meet: a mod from Rincoe called JELLYBOX MINI that does not hide anything and makes its main “feature” out of it. There is also a simple JELLYBOX mod, already on two batteries, but we will talk about it in the next review, there I will probably also tell you about the complete tank, because it is nothing special.
JELLYBOX MINI packaging
JELLYBOX MINI is currently sold only in a set with a tank, packed in a white cardboard box. On the front side there is a photo of the device, its name and a small sticker with the current color scheme. buy vape devices The back side is given to the description of the delivery set, warnings, the manufacturer’s address, there is a sticker with an authenticity verification code, social network icons and several certificates. On the sides, except for a copy of the certificate icons and social network icons, there is nothing interesting.
What’s in the box
The delivery set can be called standard: mod, tank, spare evaporator (another one is already in the tank), USB Type-C charging cable, two instructions (for the tank and for the mod), a warranty card and an internal quality check card. I won’t dwell on the tank at all in this review, from now on I’ll only talk about the mod itself.
Rincoe JELLYBOX MINI. Design
In any of the three color versions, the device will be made of transparent plastic. I agree, this is far from the first such device on the market, but everything here is made as pleasing to the eye as possible and with high quality. There are no cloudy stains, traces of glue or incomprehensible fasteners. With screw connections, the mod generally stumped me: all the screws are visible, but they are all screwed from the inside! How it was assembled is a big mystery to me. Although no, it did without magic and glue, it’s just that the assembly order is not the most trivial. The overall outline is also not the most boring, the Fire button protrudes beyond the dimensions and fits comfortably under the finger, below is a small color screen, and even lower are two buttons for setting parameters. All keys are pressed with a clear and quiet click and do not rattle when shaken. The same cannot be said about the adapter for the 18650 battery, it is also transparent and almost invisible in the assembled device, but it is made with a diameter of 20 millimeters, which, with a battery compartment shaft designed for the 21700 format, sometimes causes knocking with the case. The Type-C connector for charging is located on the side, so you can charge the device both vertically and horizontally, although it is better to buy a separate charger, it will be both faster and safer.
The mod’s dimensions are quite decent, but its light weight and overall airiness (and also the anatomical recess on the battery side, which is rather poorly visible in the photo), together with its rounded shapes, provide a comfortable grip and user experience. There are no decorations on the case as such, except for a small Rincoe emblem on one of the sides, made in the color of the overlays.

Total
Surprisingly, JELLYBOX MINI fits perfectly with evaporators of any color (at least in the transparent version) and looks good, showing its insides, including the battery. Finally, you will be able to show off your custom heat shrink, although the best option, in my opinion, would be to find a completely transparent cover for the power elements. In terms of performance, there are practically no quibbles or questions: if you don’t like the backlight, you don’t have to turn it on, the board is simple and easy to operate, and it’s really fast. It’s a bit of a pity that the supported resistance starts from 0.08 Ohm, but that’s too much for me. Is it worth buying? My opinion is yes. Moreover, this particular option, which is Mini, because in certain moments it surpasses its older brother JELLYBOX 228W.
