Introduction
Joyetech brought the joy back into MTL Pods with the release of the EVIO C pod in early 2021. It quickly became one of my favorite daily carry devices due to its slim, pocket-friendly design and excellent EN coils, which featured AST-STEEL mesh construction for outstanding performance. Naturally, I was excited to put the EVIO M Pro through its paces and share my thoughts on this latest iteration.

Design
As much as I loved the original EVIO C, the EVIO M Pro takes a distinct departure from its predecessor. This edition features a longer, squared-off design, giving it a fresh and modern look, but still very pocket friendly. The device incorporates subtle, yet elegant branding etched above and below the screen.
Key Design Features:
- Type-C Charging Port Positioned on one side for convenient access.
- Multifunctional Firing Button, located on the opposite side, serving as the main operational control.
- Airflow Adjustment Slider, placed on the back, allowing users to fine-tune their airflow preferences with ease.
- Integrated Screen: The front houses a clear and intuitive display that shows key information such as:
Wattage Easily adjustable for a personalized vaping experience.
Ohms Displays the coil resistance.
Puff Counter Keeps track of usage for better monitoring.
The screen is basic and simple, no flashy vaping animations or custom home screen choices, just clear, legible information like current wattage and a straightforward way to monitor battery life using a bar system. Here’s the breakdown of what the bars represent:
- Four Bars: Battery life is at 100%–76%, indicating a fully charged or nearly full battery.
- Three Bars: Battery life is at 75%–51%, showing moderate usage and still sufficient power for extended use.
- Two Bars: Battery life is at 50%–26%, signaling that it’s time to consider recharging soon.
- One Bar: Battery life is at 25%–3%, indicating a low charge; recharging is highly recommended to avoid interruption.
- Zero Bars: Battery life is at 2%–0%, meaning the device is almost out of power and will soon shut off.
Features
The tactile clicky fire button on the EVIO M Pro serves as a versatile control interface, making the device both user-friendly and functional. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and controls:
- Power On/Off: Press the fire button 5 times in quick succession to turn the device on or off. This prevents accidental activation when not in use.
- Power Adjustment: Press the fire button 3 times to enter the power adjustment mode. Once in this mode, you can adjust the wattage in 0.5-watt increments, offering precision control for a tailored vaping experience.
- Puff Counter: After each draw or button activation, the puff counter is displayed on the integrated screen. This feature helps you track usage and manage your vaping habits effectively.
The EVIO M Pro takes user convenience to the next level with its smart power detection and memory function features:
Smart Power Detection
When you insert a pod, the device automatically detects its resistance and sets an optimized default power level for that specific pod. This ensures a hassle-free experience for users who prefer simplicity or are new to vaping.
Memory Function
For those who like a more personalized experience, the memory function allows you to override the default settings:
- Manually adjust the power to your preferred level for the inserted pod using the power adjustment mode.
- Take three draws, each lasting over one second.
- The device will store your preferred power setting for that specific pod resistance.
When you insert another pod with the same resistance in the future, the device will automatically recall and apply your saved power setting.
This feature is a thoughtful addition, combining ease of use for beginners with customization options for more experienced users. It eliminates the need to reconfigure settings repeatedly.
PODS
The EVIO M Pro device impresses with its compatibility with a wide range of pods, offering flexibility for various vaping preferences. The included pod is just the beginning, as the device supports an extensive list of options:
- EVIO M Pro Pod: Available in 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω, perfect for different vaping styles.
- EVIO Grip V2 Pod: 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω (note: compatibility is limited to the V2
- version only).
- EVIO Grip Empty Cartridge with EN Coil: Compatible with EN Coils in 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, and 1.2Ω, catering to both MTL and DTL vapers.
- VAAL Mor Pre-filled Pod: Available in 1.2Ω and 1.4Ω, offering convenience with pre-filled options.
- VAAL Mor ECO Pod: Another compatible choice, expanding the options even further.
This versatility ensures that users can tailor their experience based on coil resistance, pod type.
For this review, Joyetech generously supplied both the EVIO M Pro Pods and the Grip V2 Pods in 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω variants, allowing a thorough comparison of their performance and usability.
The difference with these pods apart from their shape is the filling port location
- EVIO M Pro Pod:
- Top-filling design for convenient refilling without needing to remove the pod from the device.
- The fill port is designed to minimize spills and ensure hassle-free operation.
- Grip V2 Pod:
- Side-filling system that allows for easy access, making it user-friendly, especially for those who prefer not to interact with the device’s top section during refills.
Performance
I am happy to report that all the included pods performed as to be expected, delivering a vaping experience that aligned perfectly with their respective Ohm ratings and wattage limits. The following highlights were observed during testing:
- Flavour and Vapour Production: Each pod cartridge provided excellent flavour and impressive vapour production, making the experience satisfying across various usage scenarios.
- Battery Performance: The battery life was commendable, comfortably supporting extended vaping sessions without frequent recharges.
- Airflow Control: The smooth airflow was consistent and easily adjustable using the intuitive AFC slider, allowing for a tailored vaping experience.
- Draw Consistency: Whether using the device in auto-draw mode or manually activating it with the power button, there was no noticeable difference in the quality or consistency of the draw.
- Pod Longevity: Each pod demonstrated impressive durability, consistently achieving over 1,000 puffs comfortably.
Verdict
Joyetech has once again impressed with their latest addition to the EVIO series, the EVIO M Pro. The device performed flawlessly throughout testing, showcasing excellent reliability and efficiency. Notably, there were no errors or leakage issues from the pods.
In this case, good things truly do come in small packages. The EVIO M Pro’s compact, pocket-friendly design makes it an excellent choice for those seeking portability without sacrificing performance. Furthermore, the device’s broad coil compatibility not only ensures an exceptional vaping experience but also addresses environmental sustainability, thanks to the reusable and widely available coil options.
The EVIO M Pro stands out as a worthwhile investment for both new and experienced vapers, combining style, functionality, and environmental consciousness in a single, well-designed package.
I would like to thank Joyetech for sending the EVIO M PRO over for review, and as always I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts on this one.
