Aspire Breeze 2 Preview | First Impressions
How a version 2 should be
The Aspire Breeze 2 picks up where the original left off but with a much-improved design. At first glance the Breeze 2 looks like the original, but the iCare coil platform is replaced by a refillable 3 mL pod system with airflow control and replaceable U-tech coils — a TPD version is also available. Even the battery capacity has been beefed up to 1000 mAh. The Breeze 2 keeps the fire button, but now it’s a flush-set button and it’s the only way to fire it, doing away with the combo manual and automatic draw.

Initial impressions of the Breeze 2
In a short time, I’ve grown fond of this device. But it threw me for a loop when I first opened it. It has three buttons now. One large flush button on the front — a fire button — and two smaller flush buttons on the sides. I pulled at the pod and mouthpiece, not knowing they were separate pieces, but nothing moved. What I didn’t know (until reading the instruction manual) was that the mouthpiece needs to be plucked off the pod from its side, and you have to press the side buttons in to release the pod. After pressing in those side buttons, the pod pops out a millimeter with an audible click (and goes back in with an even nicer click).
The coils for the Breeze 2 appear to be the same as before, but the chimney structure is different and it has adjustable airflow. The airflow controller is a separate piece (not shown in the schematic) that sits right on top of the coil head. Basically, there is no chimney. You’re practically vaping directly from the coil. Since the airflow has a very short distance to travel now, the vape is more direct and immediate.
The refill isn’t as open as the original, but the Breeze 2 has a nice anchored refill plug and a 5 mm wide fill-port that can accommodate most droppers. I’ve been using mostly 50/50 high nic, but I’ve also used high PG and high VG too. It’s been handling whatever liquid I throw at it. And one battery charge lasted me through about 10 mL. I’ve used close to 20 mL so far and it’s been the same performance — satisfying with each hit.
Although I’ve been using it a lot this last week, it’s still early. Things can always go awry. I’ll give it at least another week before the full review. As for now, it’s a thumbs-up.
