Reviewer comments on business characteristics

With Spruzza, Asmodus offers us its first electronic box bottom feeder mono 18650. This new box features a GX-80-HUT chipset, capable of providing up to 80W and it accepts resistors from 0.1 ohm.

Variable power, temperature control, it can do everything, but it is above all its SSS (Smart Siphon System) that allows it to stand out from the competition. This new, original and innovative device replaces the traditional plastic bottle.

Our kit is positioned on the top of the range with these € 139. I remind you that, for this price, you have the box and its dripper, the Fonte. So, the “squirt” (Spruzza), really revolutionary?

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The Spruzza adopts a fairly common overall design. A rectangular parallelepiped with rounded corners acts as a form factor. The two main faces are clad in panels covered with stabilized wood. On the top of one of the slices there is a parabolic shaped button marked with the name of the brand. Underneath, there is a fairly small but readable oled touch screen.


On the top, in the central position, the spring-mounted 510 pin will be happy to accommodate all your drippers up to 24 mm and even a little more.


But where is our revolutionary bottom feeder system hiding? On the back of the box, we discover, nestled in the middle of an ovoid-shaped hollow, the small metal lever which operates the BF pump.


We can not say that its dimensions are the most compact, it is doing quite well for a simple 18650, but it's when you open it that you understand why.

Asmodus has compartmentalized everything. On the back, the panel overlooks the part that contains the famous and innovative tank equipped with a pump. It is isolated from the electronics and the battery which is accessed from the front panel. In doing so, the designers protect the battery and the chipset in the event of a leak, but for that they have sacrificed a little compactness.

The interior is also very clean, everything seems perfectly assembled.


Overall it's pretty nice even if I'm not a fan of the fact that the front and rear panels are not flush with the frame of the box.

The dripper that accompanies the box, the Fonte, measures 24 mm in diameter. It is sober and relatively discreet. It wears an 810 “wide bore” delrin drip-tip. The top-cap is equipped with fins which should facilitate heat dissipation. The top-cap is, as is customary lately, in the shape of a dome. The barrel is pierced with two cyclops holes of substantial but reasonable size.

The tray is of a basic design, it is designed to receive one or two coils. Machined in SS 316, the finishes are satisfactory even if, let's be frank, there is no risk taking, neither in the technical aspect, nor in the style.

Our kit is quite nice overall, the design could be a bit bland but lovers of stabilized wood will no doubt be charmed by the two removable fronts.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The new Asmodus GX-80-HUT chipset offers you a wide choice of vape modes.

First, a variable power mode that offers a setting that ranges from 5 to 80 W.

Then, no less than three modes in temperature control are offered to us: the TC, TCR and TFR on which you will be able to vary the temperature of your coil between 100 ° and 300 ° C and the maximum power between 5 and 60 W.

These modes are compatible with Ni200, titanium, SS 304, 316, and 317. If you are familiar with TC and TCR modes, TFR probably doesn't mean anything to you. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to explain it to you in detail. Indeed, the technical explanations in the manual are not very precise and I have not found anything better on the manufacturer's website. All I can tell you is that we record a correction of the heating coefficient as a function of the temperature but, frankly, it is very vague.

Finally, there is a "Curve" mode that gives you the opportunity to build the profile of your puff in 5 points. You adjust the power and duration of each range.


The micro USB port can allow you to update the chipset and, of course, recharge your battery.

The most original equipment of this box remains its bottom feeder system called SSS. It consists of a 6 ml tank equipped with a manual pump, to be operated using a lever. Each time you operate the lever, a defined amount of liquid rises to the dripper. However, there is no return for any excess liquid.

As for the dripper, there is little to say, the plate allows you to equip it with one or two coils. The airflow adjustment is very basic, we vary the size of the two Cyclops openings by simply turning the top-cap. Simple and efficient.

In short, a box equipped with a very complete chipset and an innovative bottom feeder system that you will have to learn to master.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Our box is presented in a relatively simple cardboard box equipped with a large transparent window that lets you see the entire kit.

The box and the dripper are well set in their compartments in dense foam covered with felt. Below this tray are the instructions, replacement seals for the tank and the dripper, a classic pin for the dripper, replacement screws for the mounting post and, to finish two coils. The notice is translated into French, but we can not say that everything is clearly explained.

A complete kit even if I find that the presentation is not completely at the level for a product of this price.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The Spruzza is not the most compact, I would even say that it is one of the most bulky in its category. It remains, of course, transportable but you will not slip it in your jeans pocket.

As for the settings, if you are not familiar with the American-Chinese brand, you will have to appropriate the adjustment system offered by the touch screen.

To put it simply, the start-up is done using the switch (5 clicks to be original) and after, everything is just a matter of sliding the finger on the screen. You slide your finger down to unlock, and then just touch the screen and slide right or left to increment or decrement the values. It is controlled with the fingertips in any case to adjust the different modes present.

There is also a menu that appears after 5 clicks on the fire button when it is on. This menu allows you to turn off our box, to adjust its brightness, the locking system, the puff limiter, the resetting of the puff counter, or even to adjust the value of your resistance. No problem, the use remains practical and ergonomic, even if the screen is a little difficult to unlock, you often have to do it twice.

In any case, the vape offered by the chipset is rather pleasant and direct, effective even with a simple 18650 battery. On the other hand, even if the system manages the autonomy of the battery well, there will be no miracle and you will need several batteries to last the day, even at a reasonable power around 30/40 W.

The bottom feeder system is quite practical. Filling the tank is quite easy by raising the guillotine-shaped hood and you can act without having to take it out of the cockpit.


The pump brings up a certain quantity of liquid, you just need to find the right number of pump strokes to supply your coils well but be careful, in the event of too generous a rise, no reflux possible unlike the flexible bottle which “swallows” the surplus.


The only small flaw in this system may be its firmness. Operating the pump lever can be a bit hard, which sometimes results in discomfort in the thumb, I would even say that the most sensitive may feel a little pain in the long run.

Fonte is easy to use. In single coil, assembly is very simple and the chamber reducer provided in the pack is very practical. In double coil, it will be necessary to share the ports, but it is not insurmountable because there is room to work. Airholes are a nice size, but they're not huge either, they're well suited and quite versatile. The airflow associated with the dome offered by the top-cap, allows the Fente to offer a beautiful restitution of flavor.

A complete and effective kit that can not be objectively criticized except perhaps its size a bit above the standards offered by the competition.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

I'm not really a fan of the brand and I'm not sensitive to the look offered by stabilized wood. Spruzza therefore did not start on a very favorable subjective ground with me.

At first glance, I found it big and I was not won over by its very agreed design. But the BF system immediately interested me. Indeed, it is the very first alternative to the squeeze bottle that I tested.

In absolute terms, in all objectivity, Asmodus delivers a fairly successful product. A new chipset which is effective and which takes over the controls and elements that are usually found on the brand's products. But it is above all the SSS (BF) system that stands out with its lever and pump. This new device works perfectly and is quite practical even if I think it could be a bit more comfortable and maybe take a little more juice because 6 ml is below what is usually done.

The dripper, meanwhile, is one of the most classic both in terms of design and architecture, but it is perfectly suited to the box and offers a good restitution of flavors.

If you are a fan of the brand or the design of this kit appeals to you, the Spruzza plus Fonte duo is a good product even if the price of 139 € may seem a bit high.

Good vape
