For clarity, I bought this one as an alternative to my RE for curiosity. While the world panicked over potential banning of flavors I was buying extra tanks for my RE and thought "why not try the Eden?" So there is no arm twisting or compensation by Vladdin here. Just a regular guy saying things about a new device that arrived 3 days early.
For folks using the RE, the Eden had no surprises, vape-wise. And like the stick it is really light weight. I saw somewhere it's made of zinc and figured it would be weighty, but it is not. Ok, so using it as a self defense David vs Goliath type thing it is not going to be a good idea. But for shirt pocket carry… it's a nice idea.
The cap is made of plastic. Now my totally unscientific method of determining what the body is made of where I tap various items with my fingernail resulted in a pitch that led me to believe that at least the outside of the body is plastic.
I've only had it a couple of hours now, so I'm not in the frame of mind to bash it onto my concrete sidewalk to see what lies underneath the white coating. Yet if it is plastic I'm ok with that. Especially in a lightning storm or when vaping near high tension electrical wires at work.
Now since the cap is removable I pondered if it could be placed over the bottom for storage while vaping and found that will not work. Some may find the cap puts up a fight when removing. I found that with the logo facing you a slight twist counter clockwise significantly reduces that.
Now inserting the pod into the body is pretty much like the RE. It goes in one way only. Yet you may feel some side to side play while the pod is inserted in the Eden, unlike the RE which has no discernable play or wobble. But it does not pop out when dropped on carpet or a kitchen floor.
Holding it is easy enough. Some may find it slippery feeling. The matte finish on my white one has a bit of texture feel, but nothing grippy about it. On those days where you had too much caffiene a dropsees issue may result. Some may think it feels cheap, or like a toy vaper. I kinda like the whole lightweight feel about it frankly.
Luckily for me Mrs States didn't dig on the drag of my RE saying it was too restrictive for her DTL style. So I have this nice little alternative to the carpenter pencil shaped RE all to myself. And no more "is that a Juul" questions either.
I can't get over how stoked I am about the lack of weight. Grams counters will rejoice.
Next to a classic zippo that belonged to my pop, it appears kinda big. But the overall real estate it will occupy is minimal thanks to a slim profile.
As time passes I'll add some more comments. For now I'm really happy with the decision to try out the new Eden.
