As much as the masses are picking up inexpensive pod mods, the growth of the high power Vapers is as heavy as ever. This year we’ve seen some incredible vape gear that begin at 200W and rise up to 300W. Most entries fall in the sweet spot of 220-230 Watts, and most of our Nominees [...]
"Comparatively subtle.” These are the words I used whenever someone asked me about the new, supposedly updated dsd fair description, considering how loud and over-the-top the original model was. Thanks to less flash and better function, the KAOS Z GS Edition is a definite improvement over its predecessor. But is that enough to warrant a purchase? [...]
Fifteen years ago, if you told me that a movie about car loving criminals would spawn nine sequels, I would have laughed at you. And if you told me a year ago that I’d be testing a vape mod that resembled a Honda VTEC engine, I would have laughed even harder. Well, thanks to about [...]
If 2017 was the year every company added a speedometer-styled display to their vape mods, 2018 might see a new trend – mods shaped liked engines themselves. And the first notable entry? The VTEC-styled Augvape V200 box mod. To the naked eye, the V200 is another oddly designed vape device. To the motorheads in our audience [...]
A Bakers Dozen of Evolv DNA Driven Mods of 2017-18 In an industry dominated by abbreviations – PG, VG, OLED, TFT – perhaps no three letters have had more impact than Evolv DNA. And no, I don't mean self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms, aka, deoxyribonucleic acid. The term DNA used in the vape [...]
“Elegance” isn’t a word that’s often mentioned during a Vape Mod review. In an industry so hell-bent on power and features, it’s not common to hear how understated a device can be. That’s why we were intrigued by the all-new Joyetech Espion Mod Kit – which is being marketed as an “executive-level” Vape Mod. Now don’t get [...]
Based on my experience, Touchscreen Vape Mods are usually heavy and bulky. Even our favorites, such as the SMOK G-Priv 2 (reviewed here) or Hcigar Towis (reviewed here), are still substantial devices. This is why we’re so pleasantly surprised by the sleek and lightweight Kanger Pollex 200W Touchscreen Mod. With a potent 3,500mAh battery, a unique 2.4-inch [...]
When the Tesla Punk 220W steampunk box mod arrived at Spinfuel VAPE HQ, I may have made a few enemies. But if throwing elbows and knocking over desks to grab it from coworkers’ hands was the only way to grab this hefty mod, I’m still glad I did it. (Besides, being invited to company events [...]
Change is good. At least that’s what my father always told me. Thanks to the all-new Vaporesso Switcher 220W (this 220W modern mod is available now at Element Vape) customizable Mod kit, now vapers can change their Mod’s appearance whenever they want, just by sliding on a new metal sleeve. For those of you unfamiliar with the [...]
I’ll come right out and say it – the Smoant GAIA is an absolutely gorgeous piece of vape hardware. This 200-watt box mod is a meticulously engraved, yet still subtle testament to design. But it also brings a healthy amount of power and functionality to the table. This isn’t a mod for everyone, but it’s [...]
The WISMEC/Sinuous Ravage230 is not the first WISMEC, or Sinuous for that matter, vaping device to sport this particular body shape, and side Fire Panel. The WISMEC/Sinuous FJ200 looks very similar to the Ravage230. Having said that, the Ravage230 is certainly the most polished, most well-thought-out version of this body type from WISMEC/Sinuous yet. After a [...]
Please allow me to start this review with a retraction. In my preview of the Wismec Reuleaux RX2 20700 mod, I incorrectly stated this device would have a 300-watt capability, and speculated upon this figure. Upon receiving the mod, I quickly realized this is a 200-watt device, but forgot to update the preview accordingly. We [...]
In 2017, when we discuss “high-end” vape mods, we usually center the conversation on features, modes and customization. The Stentorian Basilisk wants to change that line of thinking. Though this absolutely gorgeous resin-built device would certainly be a stunning addition to any collection, at its heart, the Basilisk is a simplified device designed to do [...]
Every now and then, regardless of technology, a device comes along that raises the bar for all that follow. In the vaping world, those devices usually feature the letters “DNA” in the name, and three digits in the price. So, when a stylish, top-tier performance mod like the Modefined Sirius comes along at a VERY [...]
My mother always told me, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. After all, something I find attractive, others might not. Sage advice from a wise woman. Of course, she also told me if I had nothing nice to say, to not say anything at all. Which would make for some really boring reviews, so with [...]
If this week was a novel, we’d title it “A Tale of Two Sigeleis.” Because right on the heels of a disappointing experience with the gauche Sigelei Kaos Z, I had a fantastic time testing the Sigelei MT. Now, don’t get me wrong, the MT isn’t perfect, but this time, Sigelei matched its brash design [...]
