Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Wismec it is the Geek brand of the Chinese consortium that he forms with Joyetech, Eleaf.
The philosophy of this brand is to offer cutting-edge equipment at an affordable price.
The last idea of ​​our Chinese friends is to offer us a Box cut out for adventure which, in addition, includes a Bluetooth speaker.
A combined wifi speaker / Box, capable of reaching 80W and powered by a 2200mah lipo battery.
So I'm not a fan of this type of “bundle pack”, for the killjoy that I am, a Mod is used to Vaper. I had not been a fan of the idea of ​​the MP3 player on a Joyetech model so I left with a slight a priori.
But there may be some features that I haven't touched on yet that change that “bitter old vaper” point of view.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

La Wismec Active adopts a “BTP” style especially in the orange and black which was provided to me. The Box seems really cut for the outdoors, the packaging suggests a Box intended for sports enthusiasts and it is true that the style is also reminiscent of the technical products of the “Decathlon” brand.
The drawing is simple and effective in a utilitarian spirit.

We therefore have a medium-sized paving stone, one of the angles of which has been truncated to receive a “loop” which allows you to hang the Box on a carabiner. This way you can hang it on a loop of your jeans for example. The other 3 angles are rounded. On the top, the plate is made to receive atomizers up to 24 mm in diameter, without risk of overflow.

The Box is not compact, it is clear but on the other hand, the weight is very reasonable therefore consistent with the nomadic spirit of this Active.
The front and back sides are similar, both covered with a thin metal grille that betrays the presence of a speaker. The frame of the Box is covered with a silicone skin which is there to protect against shocks but not only.


On one of the edges, we find the screen which is surrounded by the fire button and the +/- bar, at the bottom of this side the micro USB port and the reset button is hidden under a small cap depending on the skin.


On the other hand, on the other side, we discover the bluetooth speaker controls, clear logos indicate the play, vol + / forward, vol- / return and on / off button of this function.
The skin and replaceable, so you can change the look with the many models offered by the Chinese brand.
No battery hatch since it is an integrated battery.

The finishes are quite satisfactory compared to the tariff level, no apparent defect.
A product that is pretty good if you're adept at this outdoor look that oscillates between construction equipment and high-tech accessory for sports even if I'm not sure that the great sports are very worn on the vape.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

THEActive what presents us Wismec ship a chipset house that seems to be close to that found in the products of the Istick family of Eleaf.
The Box can reach the 80W. It has the following operating modes: Temperature control, variable power, Bypass and TCR. The minimum resistance value of 0.05Ω is common to all modes, while the maximum value is 1.5Ω in TC and TCR and 3Ω in other modes of operation.

The screen is easy to read and allows you to keep an eye on the battery charge level, power or temperature depending on the mode, the current, the voltage and the value of the resistance.


The safety is not left behind since the Box has all the necessary protections (protection against short circuits, discharge of the battery, overheating of the electronic module ...).
It will also be possible to set a preheating on the first two seconds of the puff.
The Box has a battery of 2100mAh and recharging via the USB port is said "fast" since it can be done at an intensity of 2A.
This new toy is also called shockproof and waterproof which is a real plus for a product visibly designed for outdoor.

As you can see, this Box is also a Bluetooth speaker designed to connect to any device capable of providing music and having this type of connection.
A very complete product that offers everything you can expect from a Box.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The Box comes in a matte black box which just bears the brand's name in silver writing. A thin cardboard case wraps this box, above a photo of the device, in the background we notice the shadow of a climber hanging on a rock wall. On the back, it's always the same thing, the contents of the pack, some characteristics and all the normative information.
Inside, there is of course the Box, a USB cable, a small carabiner steel and a record translated into French.
The presentation is therefore very correct given the tariff position.

Appreciations in use

  • Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy, even standing in the street, with a simple tissue paper

  • Has there been any erratic behavior after a day of use? No

Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 4.5/5 4.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

THEActive is not the most compact Box in relation to its capacity but its weight is very reasonable which makes it easily transportable. The ergonomics are quite good, the silicone skin offers good grip and makes the grip sufficiently comfortable.
The commands are identical to those of an Eleaf box. 5 clicks to turn on or off, 3 to access different modes, the rest of the navigation is done with the +/- buttons. In the manual you will find all the other maneuvers useful for adjusting your Vape.
The Vape you get with this Box is quite correct, nothing special to note, we are in the mid-range.
The autonomy offered is a little light especially if you Vapez high power. The fast charge function is a little counterbalance this weakness but if you use in addition to the speaker, it will be necessary to think of a Power Bank.


The speaker, let's talk about it. It offers an acceptable sound definition that seems normal given the size of the Mod. It connects without any difficulty to your smartphone and the pause / play commands, vol + / next track, vol- / previous track are effective.
A combo intended for the hard life that seems well endowed, fun to use and which in the end only suffers from a little limited autonomy.

Recommendations for use

  • Type of batteries used during the tests: The batteries are owners on this mod
  • Number of batteries used during the tests: The batteries are proprietary / Not applicable
  • With what type of atomizer is it advisable to use this product? Dripper, Classic fiber, Sub-ohm assembly, Genesis-type rebuildable
  • With which model of atomizer is it advisable to use this product? A not too smart RDTA

  • Description of the ideal configuration with this product: You might as well remain reasonable to preserve autonomy, so avoid anything that runs beyond 30W.

Overall average of the Vapelier for this product: 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

The mood ticket of the reviewer

As I said from the start, I'm not a very good audience for this kind of machine that mixes genres. So I started this test with a big a priori.
From the start things start moderately. Indeed, I find the Box a little too big compared to the announced capacity of the battery (2100mAh).
The overall aspect reminds me of a pure product from a catalog of tools intended for the construction industry, but there is also a sport aspect which recalls “decathlon” technological products. The realization is correct and completely in line with the price positioning of the product.

At the technical level for the Chipset, no surprise, it's a house product that comes from the Joyetech / Eleaf / Wismec group, it does not add anything new, I would even say that we are on a basic. At the same time it is quite reliable and proven.
The second function works well, the speaker is not bad and easy to use.

At this level, we can say that the product is very correct but I am still not completely convinced.
What turned my judgment are the characteristics shockproof and especially waterproof.
These two characteristics give meaning to this product and suddenly make it an ideal product for outdoor.
Take a tour of the brand's website, you will find a demonstration video that should convince you.

So yes the Box, in the end, is convincing but there is still a small brake. The battery seems a bit undersized compared to the spirit of this very nomadic product.
This will force you to remain wise at the level of the Vape and not to rely on musical accompaniment throughout the day either. It will be necessary to be economical to hope to be able to cover a large range of use.

In the end, I would say that it's a nice and fun product that tugs the gadget a bit but does the job.

Good Vape,
Vince.

Present since the beginning of the adventure I do in the juice and stuff always keeping in mind that we all started a day. I always put myself in the skin of the consumer by carefully avoiding not falling into the geek attitude.
