Reviewer comments on business characteristics
After its tube mecan widely popular on social networks, VGOD USA Pro offers its box VGOD 150W double battery in a very nice format, for an outfit that easily adapts to small hands.
Its power in 150W allows ULR assemblies and matches atomizers up to 24mm in diameter.
Several modes of vape are proposed. Mechanical mode, power mode, temperature control mode in nickel (Ni200) or titanium (Ti) with a range between 200 and 600 ° F for a starting resistance of 0.07Ω up to 1Ω in temperature control and from 0.08Ω to 3Ω in power mode, (0,07ohm in mechanic mode). Strangely, the mode TC in SS316 is not proposed on this box.
The Chipset is proprietary, associated with a clear but small screen.
For my test version it's an all black box whose two side faces are made of carbon fiber, which gives this product a sporty and slightly messy look. You will be able to charge the VGOD via a micro USB cable (not supplied).

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
The frame of the VGOD is zinc alloy with a black coating that does not mark fingerprints, both side faces are carbon fiber. One of these two faces opens to allow the insertion of the batteries (not provided).
Its rectangle shape gives us a correct size of the palm of the hand, with a product thickness of 24 mm for a well proportioned, slightly rounded sides.
On the top of the box there is a stainless steel plate engraved around the 510 connection and in its extension on the front face, this plate incorporates an engraving noted "VGOD" and a square switch, adorned with a round logo in its center.
Under the switch, a small window allows us to see a screen which gives us first: the entered power (or the temperature) and the resistance value as well as the charge of the two batteries (right and left) in the extension . I regret the size of this screen which although correct remains smaller than the majority of boxes of the type.
Under the screen, one behind the other, the two round shape adjustment knobs are also small with a diameter of just 4mm. Admittedly, everything fits well to give a minimalist look to a box, which still delivers 150W double battery. On the bottom of the same side is also a connection, to connect the box for recharging, via a micro USB cable.
Under the box, a silkscreen print of the American flag with inscriptions to indicate that the product is "made in USA" with the name, the designer and the manufacturer. Two series of 6 holes ensure the evacuation of heat from the batteries and their possible degassing.
The batteries are inserted via a carbon fiber hatch which is magnetized on one of the side faces of the box. The connection of this plate is made via 4 magnets, two small and two more substantial, which really have a very good hold and firmly adjust the closure to the millimeter, without difficulty.
An accomplished box, robust and flawless. Everything and clean and well assembled, a sport and sober look, of a very good quality and an excellent finish.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
The functions of the VGOD are quite correct with an atomizer compatibility diameter up to 24mm in diameter to perfect its sport style, thanks to the spring-mounted pin, the set-up will be flush.
The ideal is a black atomizer and steel with a robust mounting (sub-ohm), since its capacity allows up to 150W power. Thus, with very large clouds you will perfect the look this sporty, placing you on the podium of the winners.
The specifics of this product are not huge, but effective:
• The voltage is between 0.3 and 8 volts
• The max output current is 50Ampers (with 0.1Ω resistor)
• The power range is between 5 and 150 Watts
• Range of resistive values in Power, from 0.08Ω to 3Ω
• three modes of use: mechanical, power and temperature control
• Resistive admitted in temperature control: Nickel 200 and Titanium
• The temperature control working range is between 200 ° F and 600 ° F (<94 ° C to 315 ° C)
• Resistive value range in CT, from 0.07Ω to 1Ω (contrary to the indications of the instructions for 3 ohms)
The protections are perfectly assured:
• Against short circuits
• Against the voltage too low to avoid deep discharges
• Against overheating (internal)
• Against resistance temperatures that are too high
• Against polarity reversal
• Button lock (settings)
• Against resistances that are too low or too high
All in all, pretty basic features that do not support stainless steel in temperature control and a chipset that can not be updated. The set temperature control value will only be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (conversions here ).

Vapelier's note on packaging: 3 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
When I discovered the packaging I didn't know if I should jump for joy or moan, because in fact, where the VGOD gives you, on the other hand it keeps.
The box is huge because with this box, you are offered a beautiful bag of 18cm by 12,5cm. It has a shell that respects its shape and closes with a zipper. Entirely black, it is made of waterproof canvas with the name VGOD written on it. Inside, two protective foams can easily be removed or left to protect the product. An integrated pocket is even provided for inserting accessories if necessary, such as a micro USB cable which is not provided to recharge the VGOD, or to place your manual which remains in English and which is rather brief.
A small error is inserted in this manual, which gives a resistance value range in TC from 0.07 to 3Ω. In reality, according to my experience with atos to various resistive materials, we cannot exceed 1Ω (in TC only).
A very nice unusual packaging, with this quality bag, which would have been perfect with a recharging cable and more detailed instructions, for the price: at more than 150 euros, we have the right to be demanding!

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
The use is really simple:
• 5 clicks on the switch to turn on the box
• 3 clicks on the switch to change modes: MECA, PRO (?) *, V / W, TC-Ni or TC-Ti
• Pressing [+] and [-] allows you to lock the setting buttons
During use the buttons are absolutely flawless, like the box, everything is responsive and in place.
The screen has a nice brightness and also shows you the voltage of the voltage during the vape.
The hatch system for access to the batteries has a very good hold that does not move during use.
*I did not really find what this pro mode was, apart from displaying on the screen a curve of the signal delivered during the pulse ...

The mood ticket of the reviewer
The VGOD is dressed in a sporty look with these zinc alloy and carbon fiber materials that blend well. The solidity associated with sobriety is a success. The details on this box have been extended to differentiate the right and left battery, marked with their polarity.
A relatively simple use which allows the bare essentials with three modes: mechanical, power or temperature control (which only works with nickel or titanium), I regret the absence of TC work with stainless steel which does not can be used only as a power.
A no-frills chipset that goes up to 150W, surprisingly responsive for an immediate signal.
And for the vape, the work has also been accomplished successfully: the vape is constant, smooth and above all fair, with a power supplied according to the requested power, without any latency.
The ergonomics have been carefully studied, offering an efficient handling for a double battery box which is not necessarily heavier than another and which can be associated with an atomizer of 24mm in diameter.
Despite its high price and its small gaps (instructions, no MOT with stainless steel), the Top Mod is deserved.
