Let’s cut the suspense, the Asvape Gabriel Choice, an 80W box mod has earned a score of B+ in the review below. It took many hours of constant use to convince myself that my first ‘impression’ was the correct impression, and except for one mistake of “style over substance”, the Asvape Gabriel Choice is simply [...]
At the time of this writing, I JUST finished writing a review of the iJOY Avenger, which looked like Iron Man, and had questionable voice control features. (“Jarvis” it was not…) So, when thinking about testing a mod designed like a flippin’ BAT, I was hesitant. But the Vaptio Super BAT Mod Kit surprised me. It’s not [...]
I don’t normally like to start reviews with a conclusion, but here we go: The YiHi SXmini T Class SX580J is a B+ Vape Mod. And it would have been an A+ Mod if the designers just knew when to quit. Because the T Class is a veritable master’s class in how to over-do a vape [...]
This new starter kit, the Innokin Proton 235W & Scion 2 Starter Kit, has surprised me in so many ways I was undecided on how to open this review for days. I was afraid that my most honest opening; “The best Starter Kit from Innokin in Years” would sound like hyperbole, but the fact is [...]
Please allow me to paraphrase Shakespeare here: “YiHi, or not YiHi… that is the question.” Stupid way to start a vape mod review? Maybe, but I feel like my recent experiences with YiHi-enabled mods have been more “miss” than “hit.” Could the iPV Trantor mod be the device that changes my mind about YiHi? Well, [...]
As a seasoned vaper, I’ve become accustomed to using external batteries versus integrated Li-ion devices. Sure, less parts usually means more convenience, but I have yet to see an internal battery match the power and performance of 18650 (or other) cells. That is, until I got a hold of the SMOK V-FIN 160W box mod. The [...]
Every vaper has a “sacred” mod in their collection – one they just won’t ever let go, even if better things come along. For me, it’s my beloved Lost Vape Paranormal, which was a stunningly designed mod, hindered by the antiquated DNA 166 setup. Well, my day just got brighter, because the all-new Lost Vape [...]
We’ve been waiting a long time for DNA chipsets to match the convenience and power output offered by so many other vape mods on the market, while still maintaining Evolv’s industry-leading precision and accuracy. Well, our time has come, in the form of the Think Vape Finder DNA250C. Don’t be fooled by the “250” in the [...]
One hundred and fifty watts. It doesn’t seem like THAT long ago that this was a figure achieved only by vaping experts, using homebrew equipment or elite-level mods. And these devices were suitably huge and unwieldy. Fast forward to 2018, and I’m writing a review of a legitimate 150-watt mod with the same dimensions as [...]
When I first heard I was getting to review the PLY Rock Zilla mod kit, I expected another massive, 200+ watt sub-ohm beast, much like the namesake fire-breathing lizard. What I got was only “massive” in the amount of surprise it gave us. Indeed, the 60-watt Zilla mod isn’t going to put any of your primary [...]
Immediately after seeing the SMOK Devilkin I was reminded of last year’s SMOK ProColor (see image below). Of course, there are improvements in exterior design, and the Devilkin Kit includes the full size TFV12 Prince, while the ProColor Kit included the TFV8 Big Baby Tank, but for the most part, this is the same uninspired [...]
First, a question; Do you find it at all confusing when vape mods are named in ways like the iJoy Avenger 270 234W TC Starter Kit? Unless you are well-versed in the ways of naming vape gear products you wouldn’t know that the number ‘270’ stands for 20700 cells, so you wonder if the iJoy [...]
I have to say, this has been a weird batch of products to review. Earlier this week, I tested a vape mod supposedly designed after a Greek Temple. And now I get the Sigelei GW 257W Vape Mod, which is a tribute to one of the seven wonders of the world, the Great Wall of China. Well, [...]
One of my favorite parts of this job is testing the “niche” devices. You know, the “underground,” “cult-like following” mods that aren’t mass sellers, but always seem to be in the hands of true enthusiasts. The Limitless mod series falls into this category, and their latest – the Limitless LMC Classic v2 220W box mod [...]
WISMEC LUXOTIC NC 250W & GUILLOTINE V2 STARTER KIT We’ve been doing a lot of “best of” pieces around here, so let me hand out a special “one off” award. The best single, solitary draw off a vape mod I’ve had all year came from the gorgeous, potent WISMEC Luxotic NC mechanical mod. That isn’t hyperbole, mind [...]
When the promotional materials arrived for the Uwell Ironfist kit, we weren’t floored by the description – even if it WAS a sharp, leather-wrapped Mod kit. The specs were fairly standard for a mid-range Mod – 200-watt output, dual-18650 capacity, zinc alloy construction, etc. But first impressions aren’t always lasting ones. Because even though we just [...]
