New Arrivals at Element Vape Week of October 15th

Think Vape has produced some excellent vape mods over of the past two years. We’ve come to think of Think Vape as a lesser expensive Lost Vape, what with the Think Vape Finder DNA250C (300W), (reviewed here) and the Think Vape Thor 200W TC Mod (reviewed here). This week Think Vape presents with the Sailboat, a non-DNA vape mod, mostly plastic chassis, and a peculiar body shape for Think Vape Mods.

The Think Vape Sailboat 85W TC Box Mod is still an advanced vape mod.  This time out Think Vape is using a proprietary chipset, featuring a full temperature control suite, and a 5W-85W wattage range.

Although there is a lot of plastic used in the construction of the Sailboat in order to offer a lightweight mod, it uses an alloy called Kirksite. What is Kirksite you ask?

Kirksite is a zinc-based alloy with moderate strength. It was developed primarily as an as a forming tool metal. While manufacturers use Kirksite to create “dies” because of its low cost, this alloy produces accurate casts that requires little finishing of the products being made in the die. I’ve never seen an actual “product” other than casts and dies made of Kirksite, so our review will be interesting in that area alone.

The Think Vape Sailboat has three firing modes as well; Power (Wattage), TC, and Bypass mode. The temperature control suite if of the usual, and soon to be obsolete heating elements, Nickel, Titanium, and maybe-not-obsolete Stainless-Steel.

The Think Vape Sailboat might be oddly shaped, but it looks comfortable to hold in the palm of the hand. It’s 85W of maximum output comes from a single hi-amp 18650 battery (we recommend Nitecore 3100mAh 35A cells), and with high performance sub-ohm tanks like the Augvape Skynet, (reviewed here), the SMOK Prince (reviewed here) and Prince Cobra (reviewed here), requiring less than 85W for optimal vape performance, we can see potential in this very affordable vape mod. Here’s hoping we’re right.

Our review for this New Mesh sub-ohm is already underway and should publish this week. Unlike other reviewers, we just can’t encourage or discourage Vapers to spend their hard-earned money unless we’ve put it through its paces… hard. So far, (without committing fully) we’re impressed with the flavor fidelity of these Mesh Coils, and early testing shows more than a decent amount of cloud chucking. A couple more days of testing and we can render our final score. Our biggest concern left to discover is coil life, so stay tuned.

The VSTICKING Vmesh Sub-Ohm Tank is being called a flagship vape tank  by the company. We’re not so sure its worthy of the term flagship, though it is a high-quality stainless-steel construction, supposedly leak-proof, with a “popular again” threaded top fill system (which we truly enjoy).

The VSTICKING Mesh Coil Family has so far been pretty faithful to flavor. The Vmesh Tank features a raised diamond pattern on the threaded top cap, as well as adjustable airflow slots to give the user a better grip.

The threaded top fill system is making a comeback, and a simple twist of the cap reveals dual fill ports. Air displacement with dual fill ports allows for fast and clean refills, unlike single fill ports which can clog easily with High VG eJuice.

On the inside of the top cap is a silicone seal to prevent leakage, and as long as the user doesn’t jump a thread, its true to its word.

Mesh Coils are rightfully being touted as the next big thing, and so far the Mesh Coils found here do not disappoint. Mesh heating elements have a larger heating surface than simple coils, and when wrapped with organic cotton wicks, the result is full flavor and ample clouds of vapor with less wattage than coil heads of 2016.

Will these Mesh Coils from VSTICKING live up to the reputation of premium Mesh Coils found in tanks like the Skynet or Horizon Flacon Resin (reviewed here) and Falcon Resin Artisan (reviewed here)? We’ll let you know shortly.

• 25mm Base Diameter

The Squid Industries Peacemaker Sub-Ohm Tank is said to be a high quality vape tank, and we can’t wait to take it for a good long spin.  The Peacemaker (interesting name) is constructed with stainless steel, features dual adjustable airflow slots, and a threaded top fill system.

The Peacemaker Tank is modeled after the Colt Revolver (or for more contemporary folks, the Peacemaker pistol on SyFy’s Wynonna Earp). Its metal exterior does have viewing windows for users can see their juice level, but like other tanks made with viewing windows, sometimes it’s not so easy to quickly see the level of the eJuice.

I have very fond memories of the Joyetech Delta 2; marvelous flavor and vapor for the time period (2015), but its viewing windows left this reviewer frustrated more often than not. The juice windows have a bit of knurling that gives the user a decent grip when removing of the top cap or adjust of the airflow, so there is that.

The dual adjustable bottom airflow slots sit at the base of the Peacemaker. This placement allows the 24mm Sub-Ohm Tank a wide latitude of airflow to push past the coil head and up into the chimney and drip tip.

The Peacemaker comes with two coil heads; a 0.4ohm Dual Coil and 0.15ohm Octuple Coil (Kanthal) to fully enjoy the power and range of the Peacemaker Tank. It is also compatible with SMOK’s TFV8 Baby Replacement Coils and when the review gets underway we’ll make sure to test a few different Baby coils to see how they stack up against the native coils.

Finally, the Peacemaker Tank is well constructed. The thread top fill is said to be leak proof and is secured by O-Rings. Unlike the VSTICKING Sub-Ohm above, the Peacemaker has a single fill port, so we’ll cover how well it functions in our upcoming review.

The Refi Pod Mod is the most surprising device to make this week’s list. Pioneer4You is not known for its pod mods, making the Refi a very interesting device to review. It also confirms our suspicion that the pod mod world will reach out to every mod manufacturer in China.

The Pioneer4You iPV ReFi Starter Kit is built for nicotine salt, focusing on a flavor-oriented vape. And in truth, flavor of nic-salt eJuice is its biggest appeal (besides the ultra-high levels of nicotine).

The iPV Refi utilizes 1.2-ohm NS Coils, and is equipped with an integrated 400mAh rechargeable battery, the median milliamp hours for pod mods.

Pioneer4You says that the combination of the 1.2-ohm NS coils and the battery create dense and flavorful clouds for today’s best nic salts. We haven’t tested the Refi yet, but our experience with other NS Coils (WISMEC mostly) for this company to choose NS Coils is perplexing.

The ReFi is draw-activated, with an intuitive LED battery life indicator. With a matte black outer exterior and colorful interior finishes, the iPV ReFi just might be one awesome pod system, or perhaps not. Only spending some time with it, and some excellent nic-salt eJuice will tell the tale. But one thing is definite; the ReFi is one good looking pod mod.

Our shipment of the ALD Amaze Lemon Pod System is still days away, but from the photos we like what we see. From the specs it sounds almost too good to be true. This is one pod mod we can’t wait to review.

The ALD Amaze LEMON Starter Kit is definitely a good looking pod system made with a premium zinc alloy chassis and finished with a soft touch (rubberized) finish. The Refillable Pods hold a huge 3.0mL of eJuice and uses a Dual Ceramic Coil System.

Its 520mAh battery is larger than most pod mods, so battery life should be good to excellent. The rubberized coating is, most probably, a pleasure to hold, and its ergonomically shaped chassis should fit neatly with the contours of any hand.

The refillable 3mL pod is bottom-filled by way of a hybrid plastic and rubber plug, which we’ve seen before. The 1.8ohm dual ceramic coil should provide good flavor, but we’re not expecting huge clouds by any means.

The Dual Ceramic Coils (DCC) System is said to prevent dry hits and allow the full flavor of the nic salts or free-based E-Liquid to come through with flying colors. A Spinfuel VAPE review will find out, rest assured.
