Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The specialist in large American-style artillery, Surric Vapes, offers us a “little” new: the Box Surric XS.

The first reflex when you hear this name is to say to yourself: What? Surric is embarking on the compact box? For me, and I think for many, XS is one of the smallest clothing sizes.

But no, rest assured, it is once again a good big baby, the XS is a 26650 box equipped with a chipset capable of supporting the power of 80W.

An assertive style, raw and massive, of beautiful material, the American dream has a price: 179,90 €. Which, I'm sure, will certainly not discourage followers of this brand across the Atlantic. So let's see what drives these aficionados to do such crazy things.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The Surric XS has a rather original line. To put it simply, it is a tube of square section to which an arc of a circle has been grafted on one face.

An all-aluminum body with perfectly smooth angles. On the front, we find the switch and the potentiometer, they are both separated by an engraving “SURRIC”. The metal fire button is perfectly adjusted and the adjustment wheel is neither too soft nor too hard.

On each side, a screen-printed aluminum plate is held by four small screws. The visual has a romantic gothic side with these skulls and roses.
The rear face is the one that is rounded, with deep grooves reminiscent of the notches in the tube of the Surric XM. In the middle, the name of the box is engraved like a stamp.


On the top is the 510 spring-loaded pine. Positioned almost in the center, the box will accommodate atomizers of good diameter.


To open it, simply separate the body in two by simultaneously pulling on the front and back of the box. We immediately notice the large thickness of aluminum and the two sets of three magnets present to hold the two parts together.


Inside, we discover the two supports that hold the 26650 battery, we also see the homemade chipset named Easy pro mini. Everything is perfectly assembled, the finishes are perfect, the quality felt is just at the top.

A very nice piece, massive, not really compact, it is still quite light thanks to this body all aluminum.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

This “little” last receives its own chipset, the Easy Pro mini.

Here, no question of screen, multiple mode etc… No, the electronics are of the “pure” style. A simple dial graduated from 0 to 100 varies the power.
So we have a mod variable power that can reach the 80W with resistances that should not be less than 0.15Ω.

This is the kind of piece that is aimed at connoisseurs, robust and simple, you might think it's a mecha mod but the electronics are on standby.

The spring-loaded pin gives you the flush attitude and the plate is hollowed out with channels to, it seems, allow the use of an atomizer with an air intake at port 510.
The box receives a battery 26650, which in theory should ensure proper autonomy.


There isn't much more to say, the XS is a relatively simple toy, it comes equipped with the essentials, just what it takes to send correctly.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Our beautiful American arrives in a nice metal box. The lid has a large plastic “window” that lets you see its precious contents. That's correct, but what about the lack of a user manual, it's still a shame at this price not to offer a small guide.

In short, we can say better but fans will focus on the XS and therefore will be fully satisfied.

Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 4/5 4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The XS is a little bulky according to my criteria but its reasonable weight leaves an open door to nomadic use.
The ergonomics will not be great if you have small hands but the comfort remains correct, in particular thanks to the good work on the softening of the angles.

The fire button is responsive and of good quality, no stray noise.

The wheel is firm but, using your fingernail, you will have no trouble adjusting your box.


The battery change is very simple, opening the box is very easy so no worries on this point.


The 26650 gives it a decent amount of battery life, so of course you're not all the time “dangling”.
As for the vape, it is full, well regulated and very pleasant, its 80W does not allow it to be too brutal but it still has the answer.

Recommendations for use

  • Number of batteries used during the tests: 1

  • Description of the ideal configuration with this product: I see it well with a good big dripper or a Rdta

The mood ticket of the reviewer

How not to greet once again the quality work of the Americans from Surric.
An original design, not of great finesse but here we are in the States and we see things in a big way. Our pretty XS is more like the Dodge Charger than the Porsche 911.

Perfectly finished, the quality of the decorations is top notch, the machining impeccable and the electronic installation very clean.

Very easy to use, this type of box offers you just the essentials while offering you a vape of the purest, direct and perfectly regulated. You will not be setting out to conquer the titles of cloud contests, its 80W being quite sufficient to make pretty clouds, but we will remain limited, compared to its big sisters who, for their part, exceed 200W.

An undeniably successful box. I can only recognize that this is a beautiful piece that will undoubtedly have a place in your Surric collection if you are a follower and if not, who knows, maybe you will start one by purchasing this XS.

Good Vape,

Vince.
