In this review, I will introduce you to the plump and “long-lasting” disposable SILK 3500 puffs from the Chinese company HYPPE.
Packaging HYPPE SILK
Disposable HYPPE SILK, just like their more compact sisters Lois, will hit store shelves packed in cardboard boxes, mostly black, but with full localization of all inscriptions in Russian. On the front you will find a photo of the device, the name of the flavor and a standard horror story about nicotine, the sides are devoted to listing the features of the device, and on the back of the box there is all the service and technical information.
Additionally, each disposable is packaged in a disposable blister that is transparent on one side; the mouthpiece is closed with a small silicone stopper. vape devices in new zealand Presumably, to protect against accidental operation during transportation.
HYPPE SILK – constructive
If we are already accustomed to the fact that disposables are somehow similar to markers, then a surprise awaits us here. Yes, the shape of the case is basically round, but rather “plump”, and the mouthpiece starts approximately from the middle of the device and gradually tapers towards its end. I don’t even know what to compare this form with. Maybe with some kind of perfume or other strange feminine “things”?
The material from which the disposable HYPPE SILK is made is plastic. Completely transparent, but colored on the inside. The lower part will have its own color depending on the taste of the liquid poured, and the upper part is always white. At the top there is a small hole for steam to escape, at the bottom there is a ring (which will be discussed in more detail below) and a laconic name for the taste. Inside, everything is as usual: a reservoir with liquid (an impressive 12 milliliters, hence the size of the device), an evaporator on a vertical mesh (you won’t have to worry about the transfer of taste, as well as the amount of steam), a battery, a board with electronics (activation by inhalation, indication LED and controller for charging the battery).
Hidden at the bottom of the device are two technical features. The first is a rotating transparent ring that allows you to adjust the tightening force to suit your vaping style and personal preferences. The outside of the ring is corrugated, which is convenient to turn, and inside there are stoppers in extreme positions. The ring rotates quite tightly, despite the absence of o-rings, and will definitely not accidentally change its position in your pocket. The second feature is the Type-C port for charging the device. The thin ring around the charging port is also for a reason; it is the one that glows blue during a puff.
Review of disposable Hyppe SILK 3500 – charging process
The ability to recharge is implemented at one time. This is convenient, allows you to keep the device small using a small battery and ensures that all 12 milliliters of liquid will be evaporated. The value of the number of puffs of 3500 is a very approximate value, if you vape with short breaths with a tight puff, there will be about 5000, and if you open the airflow completely and take breaths in a hookah style, then perhaps you won’t even get 2000.
The charging speed was slow for a Type-C port, but quite sufficient for this type of device. 0.4 Amps will fill the battery to maximum in about an hour and a half. Of course, you can also vape during the charging process and eat pasta.
Testing and tastes of HYPPE SILK
In total, eleven different flavors were released in the HYPPE SILK disposable line at the time of writing this review, but only four reached me. You will have to try all the others (Peach, Assorted Berry, Strawberry Milkshake, Rainbow Candies, Blueberry-Raspberry, Watermelon-Berry and Blueberry-Gummy Bears). And be sure to tell us about your impressions in the comments.
Inside each disposable device there is a battery containing a reactive alkali metal – lithium. Such batteries should not be thrown away with household waste, but should be taken for recycling or special disposal.
HYPPE SILK – NATURAL TOBACCO
Tobacco flavors are now rarely widespread in general, and even more so in disposable flavors, so when I discovered this particular one among the samples, I was quite happy. The smell is similar to tobacco, but not the kind of tobacco that you can smell in cigarettes and cigars, but the kind that vapers are used to vaping in liquids – sweetish, “cookie-like” and pleasant in its own way. The taste upon inhalation is simply sweet at first, then notes of flowers and a barely noticeable grape flavor appear. A deep puff pleases with the tart tobacco aroma characteristic of vaping; it’s almost the classic RY4, only without the bright caramel flavor. The exhale is a bit dry, and that’s even good, it turns out to be a certain similarity and inheritance from the smoke of a regular cigarette. The aftertaste is slightly resinous, slightly ashy and quite long. The final score is 10 out of 10, mainly due to the lack of any alternatives.
HYPPE SILK – MANGO
Mango is more familiar and probably the most common flavor among disposable flavors, but it does not lose popularity because of this. The smell before and during vaping is decent, clearly distinguishable and juicy. The taste when inhaling is similar to a store-bought fruit that is slightly unripe, but has already managed to gain sweetness. There is also a coolness when taking a deep breath, not as strong as in other models, but rather just refreshing. On the exhale, there is an almost standard taste of mango, with sourness and a resinous sensation from the soft skin, but in the aftertaste, in addition to the mango itself, minty notes of chewing gum slip through.
HYPPE SILK – PLUM MOJITO
A little more exotic – mojito with plum. In my memory, this is the first time I have come across such a combination. The aroma is vaguely reminiscent of a cocktail, there are hints of mint, but there are also interesting notes of soft dark plum. There is almost no taste on the inhale; it is almost completely hidden behind a slight chill and moderate sweetness. A deep puff reveals sweet plum pulp, and the immediate taste of mojito appears during exhalation. The aftertaste is also interesting and unusual, cool, long, plummy and slightly confectionery.
HYPPE SILK – COLA WITH ICE
Another classic taste for disposable electronic cigarettes. The mix has such a piercing smell of cola that it begins to be felt immediately after opening the disposable blister, and during vaping it instantly spreads throughout the room. The taste as you inhale is in the best traditions of the Malaysian school – the cooler was not spared and the throat and brains begin to become covered with a crust of ice almost immediately. A deep drag adds a decent amount of sweetness and a piercing aftertaste to the drink. The exhalation is again cold at first, and then, after you get used to the cooler, it simply tastes like cola. The finish is fresh, long and with a noticeable taste of jelly candies in the form of small bottles of cola.
Personal impressions
Four flavors out of eleven is not enough to get the full impression of the entire line. On the other hand, these particular HYPPE SILK mixes showed both exotic and classic combinations of tastes. And I was completely satisfied, especially since among them was a tobacco one, quite similar to RY4. On the technical side, everything is also at a decent level: normal concentration of salt nicotine, a mesh evaporator, charging capabilities via Type-C and puff settings from the ultimate MTL to a completely free hookah draft. So, if you see it on sale, don’t hesitate to buy it, it’s worth it.
