It’s been quite a year for asMODus. Some ups and downs, to be sure. But all is forgiven thanks to the latest entry in the awesome Minikin series. So, when asMODus revealed the new Tribeaut (nice pun, guys) was based on the same usability traits, I was excited. And after using it, I’m still PRETTY [...]
Well, hot damn, Innokin! We’re not even going to try and pretend that there’s much wrong with the new Innokin MVP5 Ajax kit. There isn’t. Unless you’re SO opposed to integrated battery devices that you won’t even consider firing this up, Innokin just found its way onto a ton of year-end “best of” lists. Yes, [...]
For the longest time it has felt, to me and many others, that pod mod systems had taken over the marketplace. There was no longer any room for Vapers that enjoy a mid to high level wattage (or a temperature control mod… well….) or sub-ohm tanks with massive e-liquid capacity and low-resistance that provides glorious [...]
The SMOK RPM 40 Review - I’ll admit when I first opened this month’s box of goodies to review I was a bit dizzy looking at the amount of POD MODS packed inside. That’s until I pulled the SMOK RPM 40 (40W )Pod Mod out of the mix. Now I’m not saying: “Why are you wasting [...]
The Vandy Vape Swell Kit By a show of hands, how many people lost a vape mod recently? Okay… a few of you...maybe. Of those with their hands up, how many wished they had a dedicated smartphone app to make the mod beep? Yeah, we thought so. But we have to hand it to Vandy Vape [...]
Introduction to the WISMEC Reuleaux Tinker 2 - At the risk of alienating our younger (read: mid-20s) readers, I’m SO glad WISMEC no longer wants to “be like Mike.” If you remember the original triple-18650 WISMEC Tinker device, you know the design concept was centered on the classic “Air Jordan” sneakers from the late ‘80s. But [...]
Intro to the SMOK T-Storm - Assembled “In a galaxy not far, far away...” the limited release T-STORM Vape MOD from SMOK has landed on our desk for review. And our first reaction was, “This looks like a Stormtrooper, and is clearly for the vapers who’ve sworn allegiance to the imperial army!” (Yes, we had friends in high [...]
Intro and Specs for the SMOK D-BARREL 225W Box Mod - SMOK’s recent “limited edition” mod releases are an interesting lot. But, despite the company’s constant boasts that “innovation keeps changing the vaping experience,” none of these recent releases seem to be pushing any envelopes. Where the recently reviewed SMOK A-PRIV looked a lot like a neon-infused [...]
The asMODus Minikin 3S Kit Oh what a difference a day makes. Just hours after writing about my time with the interesting but iffy asMODus Ohmsmium 24, the company sent us another mod kit to review – the asMODus Minikin 3S. And it immediately washed away any lingering bad tastes from the last go-round. Yes, we just [...]
Oh, it’s good to be back to normal. After a few weeks of “best of” trips down (recent) memory lane, it’s nice to get back to what we do best – reviewing the latest vape gear. And, aside from one (maybe two) notable flaws, the iJoy Shogun Jr. Vape Kit was a great way to [...]
Yes, yes… we know we JUST did a piece like this a few months ago. But what can we say? 2019 has been an amazing year for vape products. Not only have high-wattage hobbyist mod kits made significant strides in performance and battery life, but even the oft-maligned pod mod kits are starting to earn [...]
Intro and Specs for the Vaptio IronClad Frogman C Kit Well, no one can accuse Vaptio of not keeping things interesting. After a recent slew of products that skirted copyright law, they decide to unleash a small, 50-watt max direct voltage mod kit… with a tank we’ve seen and tried with NON-direct output mods. Yeah, we’re [...]
Is the Wireless-Charging VapeMons GearBox Mod a True Evolution or Shelf Pollution? The vaping industry, despite all the recent threats of bans and regulations (with San Francisco leading the Idiot Brigade), is bigger than ever. And with the deluge of new products released each week (mostly AIO Pod Systems), there’s a ton of bad eggs in [...]
You have to hand it to Wake Mod Co. – nothing they make is like any other vape products. Their tanks and RDAs are stunningly designed, occasionally gaudy but always unique through and through. So, when the 200W Wake Mod Bigfoot kit arrived (not to be mistaken for the 60W Littlefoot kit) , I expected nothing [...]
Life is full of surprises. When I first received the Oumier Rudder 200W vape mod, I was a little concerned. The semi-exposed battery compartment and jutting adjustment dial on the front of the mod didn’t exactly instill a lot of confidence about how well the Rudder would survive a sharp drop to the floor. And to [...]
