The Boge Revolution is a departure from the usual e-cig design, being neither a tube nor a box. In fact, the Revolution may very well be the first attempt by Chinese manufacturers to design an “electronic smoking machine”, rather than simply take an existing concept and copy / improve it or try and make something that looks like a cigarette.
The video below was taken after about 24 hours of using the Revolution, and now, after a further 48 hours my feelings haven’t changed much at all. I did however fail to mention one thing in the video that deserves more exposure and that is the package labelling.
The Revolution’s packaging is the first I’ve seen with any e-cig that wouldn’t look out of place on a shelf in a high street shop, alongside the mp3 players or mobile phones. In addition to the plastic window that allows you to see the device inside, there is a contents listing, a health warning, and a statement that the device is not a “smoking cessation” product. There’s even a series of logos and quality symbols displayed, including a “Dekang Inside” logo!
Together with the equally well translated English manual inside, this looks like a product that is intended to be a mainstream, retail product and may well influence what follows it.
The Boge Revolution falls short in performance compared to the Tornado, eGo, Riva type mass produced e-cigs around, primarily because of the lack of options (no LR for example). However, I can see it being very popular to a certain market, provided that the cost and atomiser life are well balanced.
I’ll try to update this review if and when things change, but please feel free to post comments and ask questions.
The revolution is a great mod. I love how I can control the amount of vapor production and change the LED colors.
Plus the flashlight actually comes in handy every now and then.
Got my Revolution today.
Im A little disappointed it does not work as a pass-thou… Also very confused about the charging. I set the led to red, And when I plug the unit in the led turns blue and never change’s. It’s been plugged in for over 5 hours now and the led is yet to change color to indicate it’s done charging. Also in the instruction book it says the led will flash 3 times when plugged in to show it’s starting to charge but it does not blink when plugged in it just turns blue and thats all.
Am I missing something? Or is the unit defective ? It vapes fine and all, Just not sure about the charging.
Or maybe it came pre-charged and the mini computer does not allow charging till the battery dies or something ?
At any rate it vapes pretty good, I would rate it around the same as a 901 with very good flavor production.

Did u ever find the answer please as mines doing just as u say but i try to vape ,press vape button its ok for 20 seconds then starts flashing red n dyes after 5 hours charge got it new today so im lost
Hi Trina,
That sounds as though it’s not charging properly. I think if you’ve bought it new it may be worth contacting the vendor you bought it from as it could be defective in some way – it’s hard to know.
I hope they look after you and get it sorted 🙂

Hi there.
I confess I haven’t used mine that regularly, mostly because I’ve lots of new gear to try out and review, but I do try and use the Revolution a little and it’s still going strong.
I do however know of others who have been using the Revolution as their main device and they are still working after 6 weeks of constant use – so they seem pretty good!
Remember though, that a heavy user will kill it a lot quicker than a light user of course 🙂
Cheers,
Dave
I just ordered a Boge Revolution and was looking around at the reviews and what not when I happened upon your site. I was wondering how the atty is holding up? And if you actively use the unit?
Thanx
