I feel like I’ve typed “SMOK” more in the last few weeks than I have in the last 18 months. And after seeing great kits like the SMOK SCAR-18 setup, I was thrilled to have ANOTHER good-looking kit come across my desk. I don’t know, call it nostalgia… but it kinda feels like the “old [...]
“Oh captain, my captain.” I’ve made a deliberate habit of starting my iJOY Captain series reviews with this overused line for a reason. Because the Captain continues to overuse ideas. The very first Captain mod kit was a reasonable facsimile of the SMOK Alien kit. The endless line of follow-ups introduced more batteries, bigger batteries, [...]
The whole doesn’t always equal the sum of its parts. A trite way to start this review? Maybe. But it’s never been more evident than with the all-new Uwell Evdilo Starter Kit, which seems like it should be an awesome vape setup. But there’s so many missed opportunities here, I kind of can’t believe it comes from [...]
“Hey, Alexa - can you find me a new vape mod gimmick?” Yeah, folks, it’s come to this. Over the years, we’ve reviewed vape mods with custom wallpapers, touchscreens, pedometers, flashlights, and yes, music speakers. But we’ve never had one that claimed to be powered by artificial intelligence. Yet, as you can see by the review [...]
After adopting the SMOK Mag P3 as my Go-To, Everyday Use Vape Mod I was happily satisfied that SMOKTech had not forgotten the Hobbyist Vaper. Hobbyist Vapers enjoy intense flavors, large clouds of delightful vapor clouds, and a nice warmth you can’t find in cheaper pod mod systems. So when I discovered the upcoming SMOK [...]
The Review of the SMOK MAG P3 Starter Kit - In a world that’s trying to remove all guns (and vape devices for that matter), it’s interesting to see that SMOK once again brings forth a new upgrade to their original SMOK MAG (reviewed here back in 2017!) vape device that's loosely modeled after a gun's [...]
The EHPro Cold Steel Vape Mod - If the story of Jay Gatsby was set in the year of 2019 rather than the summer of 1922, he would have stepped out onto the harbor, reaching towards a green light coming from the Buchanan dock holding this black and gold EHPRO Cold Steel 200W mod in [...]
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 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 [...]
Intro and Specs for the Vaporesso GEN kit Maybe summer isn’t even over, but if I had to do another “year-end” list of the best vape mods of 2019, I’m pretty sure we’d have a unanimous winner. And maybe it’s appropriate that the kids just went back to school, because Vaporesso just dropped a whole load [...]
In 2017, we reviewed the iJOY Captain PD270. Then we reviewed several other variants of the same idea shortly after. No big deal, we’re used to vape companies releasing similar items within a short period. But now it’s 2019, and iJOY just released the iJOY Captain Resin kit upon the world. Other than the Resin Exterior, [...]
The Rincoe Manto S Roughly one year ago, I reviewed the shockingly good Hugo Vapor Rader Mage box mod. It was a lightweight, polycarbonate-body mod that brought a lot of features to a budget-minded device. It was also comfortable, durable and high-performing. One year later, the Rincoe Manto S owes an awful lot of thanks (and [...]
There are several changes within and without the Voopoo Drag 2 vape mod, as well as the new Voopoo Uforce T2 sub-ohm tank when compared with the various Drag mods and the Uforce T1 sub-ohm. Most, but not all, of the changes, or upgrades, benefit Vapers, especially with the Drag 2 Gene.FIT chipset. I’m impressed with [...]
Finally, something truly new from SMOKTech; the new SMOK E-PRIV 230W (Dual 18650) TC Starter Kit, with a slightly modified TFV12 Prince Sub-Ohm Tank, a revamped GUI, and solid, sturdy, and handsome (yes, handsome) body. It’s not perfect, but it’s something new from the ever-prolific electronic cigarette manufacturer. Since receiving our shipment about 10 days ago [...]
The old “Transformers” cartoon had a memorable tagline: “Robots in disguise.” Since the Vaporesso Switcher 220W Mod Kit began its life as the “Transformer,” I felt it only right to let you know, the Switcher is very much a “Revenger (mod kit review here) in disguise.” But does that make the Vaporesso Switcher a bad Mod?
