Reviewer comments on business characteristics

A little less than 100 euros for a mod not exceeding 15 watts?

Heresy you will tell me, but wait until you see him… the Silenius is betting everything on his looks and he is right!

mod-smoktech-silenus-kangertech-mega-aerotank-S 

Yes he has a hell of a face! It almost looks like a scepter… dedicated to vaping!

Do not expect to tickle this toy with subohm, I did not manage to start it below 1.1 ohm.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

mod-silenus-smoktech-18650-basic package

It's beautiful, it's heavy, it's noble ... it has a majestic side, a timeless side ... personally I am a fan.

The Silenius is made of rosewood (please) and stainless steel.

Its 510 stud is spring loaded to ensure flush mounting on all occasions, the threads of its bottom cap are simply as quiet as a Benedictine who swore to wall himself in silence.

smktech-silenus-face and back

 

The bottom Cap is engraved with a proud “Designed by Smok” as well as a “Silenius” of the most beautiful effect!

The whole thing gives an impression of quality which in use proves to be verified. 

The mod natively supports an 18650 accumulator, but with an optional “body” an adaptation to the 18350 is possible.

Silenus both topcaps

 

The Silenius is on the contrary delivered with two top cap of beauty (like the rest), the one on the left is dedicated to EGO atomizers, the one on the right to Atos in connection 510 exclusively.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

Here no OLED screen, in fact no screen at all.

Everything is analog, through the adjustment ring.

mod-silenus-smoktech-adjusting ring

 

On this last two inscriptions:

  1. Tension
  2. Engime

We go from variable voltage mode to variable power mode through three consecutive clicks on the fire button.

In the case of the voltage mode, the latter responds with a white flashing, conversely a blue flashing indicates that you have switched to variable power.

This reminder will be effective by illumination of the ad-hoc color each time the fire button is pressed… In this way, it is impossible to get lost.

Finally, if you want to switch it to “protection” mode against any untimely press of the fire button: 5 clicks, and vice versa to wake it up… just classic.

The Silenius and its ring offer the following pre-set configurations: 5 powers, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15 watts as well as the corresponding voltages, ie 3.6, 4.0, 4.4, 4.8 and 6.0 volts… and that's it! But it is so beautiful that it is enough!

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

silenus-smoktech-conditioning

 

A black box, sober and elegant, with its foam, will serve as a case for your Silenius!

Everything is accompanied by a manual which although written in the language of Shakespeare, is fully understandable through the diagrams presented.

Nothing to say it's perfect… it's Smoktech.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Smoktech delivers us with the Silenius a mod against the current of all the modes and all the technological flourishes.

I don't have the impression that the vape is totally smooth, but the feeling is very pleasant.

This mod is simply a bubble, a parenthesis, in this crazy world of ours.

He should naturally find acquirer among all lovers of beautiful objects.

Do I recommend it? Yes, on condition that I have a banknote of 100 euros too much (sigggg! In these difficult times, I am aware that what I have just said is limited), because it brings NOTHING anything except a look, and an impression of well-being that only noble objects can convey ...

Clearly, it's the perfect mod for a gift, or to treat yourself after having saved enough.

Looking forward to reading you.

Spoke.
