Review of iStick Kiya with GS Juni tank from Eleaf
In today’s review, we will talk about a compact starter kit from Eleaf called iStick Kiya with GS Juni Kit.
The kit comes in a standard box from Eleaf, but this time in aquamarine color. The front side shows the assembled device itself and, of course, its name. The sides are generously flavored with the manufacturer’s logos, and there is also a verification code by which you can verify the authenticity of the device. The back of the box is more interesting and has useful information. Such as, for example, a list of the equipment. In place are various warning labels and icons along with information about the company.
Inside the box, we find a “whale” recessed into foam rubber, and under it is hidden the rest of the equipment, which, by the way, is not that rich, but it has everything you need to launch the device right out of the box.

Appearance and design of GS Juni
Before we start to consider the components of our today’s patient separately, it is worth paying attention to the available colors of the kit itself. smok nord vape Eleaf released only three of them. Moreover, the atomizers in all three cases repeat the color palette of the box mod itself. Now let’s proceed directly to the consideration of the GS Juni clearomizer.
GS Juni atomizer GS Juni atomizer
Visually, this non-serviced device looks rather boring and dull. Perhaps, in other colors the situation would be more rosy, but we have what we have. Eleaf, so that future users do not suddenly forget, branded the glass flask of the atomizer with its logo and the name of the tank. At the bottom of the tank, you can see the tightening adjustment ring, which has both one oblong hole for air intake and one tiny, so to speak, hole for a tighter draft. There is also a stopper.
The top of the atomizer is equipped with a 510 drip tip made of Delrin. Of course, any similar mouthpieces will fit perfectly into this hole. There is nothing else to consider from above, since there is no usual top filling cap here.
Further disassembly of the GS Juni is carried out by simply unscrewing the base, in which the 0.75 Ω evaporator is installed by default. It is not possible to disassemble the flask itself, since it is a single structure. Therefore, if the glass is damaged, the entire tank can be safely considered inoperative.

The tank is filled in an outdated way. First, you need to unscrew the base from the tank, turning it over, and then pour the declared 2 ml of liquid carefully along the wall. This method of filling was relevant two or three years ago, but now all these manipulations seem too inconvenient.
There is not much to say about the included coils. These are miniature evaporators with a thin coil installed inside. Naturally, with the declared resistance and recommended power, there can be no talk of any crazy performance. However, you might think that these replacements will be able to give an MTL-drag, but, unfortunately, again bypass. However, just like the GS Juni itself does not pull on a cigarette pod in any form.

Impressions and conclusions
The above-described starter kit itself is not so bad and may well be useful for the beginner part of the vape community. I was not able to identify any categorical minuses or huge pluses. But there are plenty of strange and incomprehensible moments here for me personally.
Firstly, I am not impressed by the complete GS Juni tank. Why is it 20 mm in diameter, when the box mod supports the landing of atomizers up to 25 mm? Why is the filling through, excuse me, one place? Secondly, the draw on this tank is generally something absurd. There is simply not enough air for a hookah draw, but for a cigarette draw, on the contrary, it is too free, even on one open small hole. There is nothing special to say about the taste, the evaporators did not impress. The conclusion on the cleric is by no means positive.
As for the iStick Kiya box mod, there are also some complaints about it. Why do you need such a large display in such a compact case? In addition to everything, the screen is colored, but it is practically not used in any way and the entire color palette of the interface is replete with only a light blue tint. The capacity of the built-in battery of 1600 mAh is quite justified by such dimensions of the mod, but there are fears that the charge is actively eaten up by that very large color display, which also lags periodically. The advantages of the device include its modest size, adequately functioning board and the ability to quickly charge with a current of 2A, which compensates for the low battery life. For myself, I defined the iStick Kiya for an MTL tank, getting a very nice stealth setup as a result.
