Reviewer comments on business characteristics
A small electro mod in 14650 (or 14500 but in my case 14650) which can under certain conditions reach 16 watts in a smooth vape. The latter has indeed a chipset from the same family as the dani extreme or pipeline pro. A high-end German mod guaranteed for 2 years, which partly explains its price so high.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Nothing to say the quality is really at the top on this product. We are really facing the archetype of German quality, as we all fantasize about it ... here everything is perfectly assembled.
Be careful, however, to a design problem and not a quality problem ... the bottom cap thread is very fine, a little too much even in the event of a fall on hard ground, it will have little chance of recovering ... I experienced it cost me 20 € of repairs in the shop where I bought it, but I also contacted the co-founder of the brand who sent me one back for free and there I say hats off and thank you dicodes!
Otherwise the switch is incredibly reliable, never “miss fire” and if I remember correctly it is guaranteed for a million clicks. In short, he's a German!

Reviewer's comments on functional features
Just perfect. This mode has a proprietary chipset, the firmware of which is almost the same as a pipeline with a few fewer functions.
Despite everything, it offers an impressive panel of settings and measurements, with an extended menu which, for example, offers to adjust the number of clicks for switching on, the minimum voltage at which it is cut off…. It is even a little complicated to manage all this with just one button!
But rest assured, once set we do not touch anything and we only manage power. On the security side, all the protections are there except the one managing the hit protection ...
Clearly this little mod has everything a big one.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
A metal box marked with the name of the mod is simple but we have seen worse.
On the other hand, what a disappointment that our German friends do not provide us with a manual, the mod is complex and we have to manage with a notice to download from the dicodes site… in English.
Please, gentlemen from dicodes, take an example from your Chinese colleagues from kangertech and do us the honor of providing us with a manual in French in the box.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
For the record Telegonos is the son born from the union of Ulysses with Circe. The latter mortally wounded his father without knowing it and Ulysses before dying, asked him to replace him with Penelope by becoming king of ithaca. The why this mythological reference? Maybe to make us understand that size is not always important… in the face of larger competitors…
This mod is the worthy little brother of the dani or the pipeline. It is of very good quality and has more function than necessary. The signal is smooth in alternating current so it takes up the most important characteristic of the family. Compact but quite heavy, it will be an ideal companion for those who want to remain discreet without sacrificing the quality of vape. With a sober and elegant design, we can oppose its classicism with a lack of originality. Accepting resistance from 0,70 ohm, it will give its maximum with a resistance at 1,5 ohm.
Being able to reach 16 watts it goes perfectly with a taifun gs, equipped with a 510 connection but it will need an adapter for ego type atomizers.
Discreet, elegant, powerful (for a 14500 or 14650) it is certainly expensive, it really has all of a great even the price! Its warranty is 2 years.
In conclusion, if your budget allows it and you are looking for a compact, efficient and very well-made mod, the Telegonos is for you!
