Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Steam Crave, the creators of the famous and vaporous Aromamizer, a reference RDTA Atomizer that exists in several versions, the last of which is none other than an XXXXL model with a diameter of 41mm.
To accompany this extraordinary atomizer, it needed a box just as gargantuan. The Box Titan Pwm it is first of all a quadruple 18650 mod. Imposing, it is able to receive without overflow the Atomizers with a maximum diameter of… .41mm. It is animated by a PWM type chipset, capable of reaching 300W.
In short, a competitor of weight in the race for power and superlative.
I warm up my hand, my arm to take control of the imposing monster and let's go for the first impressions.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Titan, with such a name one expects a little something imposing and indeed, the first Box of Steam Crave imposes. At the same time, there is room for 4 batteries.
A good little elongated square section with very basic style, I totally share the term monolithic look found by the editor of the description of the Small Vapoteur.

It's simple, there are few frills. On the side that we will call the facade, we find a small OLED screen at the head of the bill. Above, a large engraving of the logo and the name of the brand.
We then have an almost blank side where we find just three small holes drilled at a level which leaves one thought that they are there to let the Chipset breathe.
On the third side, it is the serial number that breaks the monotony of the uniform decoration.
Finally, on the last side, a notched wheel is on the top and serves both as a Switch and as an adjustment button. The last little thing is an engraving TITAN PWM MOD.

The Top-Cap accommodates the 510 connection in its center, it can receive Atomizers up to 41mm in diameter without overflow.
To end this owner's tour, we find the battery trap under the base of our “menhir”. A sliding button unlocks it, then you can remove it completely, no hinge, it's simple and functional and finally, resistant.

An imposing product, raw that necessarily inspires power and in view of the four batteries and the mention PWM we should not be disappointed.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

La Titan PWM does not have a long list of features.
A single variable voltage mode that allows you to vary the voltage from 1 to 8.40V. The Chipset theoretically allows to reach the 300W knowing that the maximum intensity allowed and 60A. The value of the resistances must be between 0.06 and 5Ω.
The Box has a small screen that will show you the voltage chosen, the resistance value, the instantaneous power and the display of the countdown in seconds of the duration of your puff.

To be able to make big clouds on low resistances in complete safety, the Chipset offers all the electronic protections (short-circuit, reversal of polarity of the batteries, limit of discharge of the batteries, ...).
No possibility of reloading since there is no micro USB port, it will inevitably therefore use an external charger.
A simple product, nothing superfluous just useful and powerful.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The Titan you will be delivered in a box that takes the usual codes of the mark. A simple black box. The cover is adorned with a 3D vector representation of the Box, it includes, of course, the name of the product and the brand. On the back, one has the right to the inevitable descriptive of the content and the armada of normative logos.
In the box, not much else than the box and a small untranslated record.
A sober and simple presentation that fits the tariff position of this brand.

Appreciations in use

• Easy transport with the test atomizer: Nothing helps, requires a shoulder bag
• Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy, even standing on the street, with a simple handkerchief
• Easy to change the batteries: Easy, even standing in the street
• Did the mod heat up? No
• Has there been any erratic behavior after a day of use? No

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

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

To start this part, let's talk about clutter. The Titan is clearly not the most practical Box to carry and, unless you are very tall and therefore have a coat with very large pockets, I see only one possibility: to have a bag.
The use is simple, 5 clicks on the Switch wheel and the Box is on. Then just turn this same knob and choose the desired voltage. It's very simple. Often on this type of Box, we do not know for sure at what power you vape but here, the screen is practical and allows you to be precise on its setting.
The autonomy is good even if we “hit it” with 4 18650 batteries we have plenty to do, on the other hand as I have already told you, you will need an external charger to fill up your batteries.

If its large size is a bit restrictive, it can however accommodate the largest Atomizers without risk of overflow.

In terms of vape, the sensations are good. The Box has a reaction time of 25ms, there is more nervous but it remains correct. The vape is well regulated and the signal is smooth.
A nice and effective product for all “Cloud-Chasing” lovers

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Steam Crave work for lovers of “big vape” since its beginnings with among others theAromamizer, one of the references in the clan of RDTA atomizers.
The Chinese brand launches its first Mod and necessarily, it is cut for the performances.
A good big and big “baby” that you will have difficulty slipping into your pocket but who will be able to endure a lot of hours of high power vape with its 4 18650 batteries. With a maximum theoretical power of 300W and a limit of 60A, we are rather well equipped to get great performance.
Basic in its design, it is simple and efficient, we appreciate among other things the presence of a screen which allows good precision of settings and precise monitoring of the charge level of the batteries.
The vape that our “giant” offers is well regulated, the sensations are good and we could not ask for a better way to go hunting for clouds.
Add to all this a good overall quality and an attractive price and we have a very interesting product for high power DL enthusiasts. Conversely, the Box is not very versatile, in absolute terms you can vape in MTL at low power but in this case, we have more compact products and much more practical to transport.
A good and pure “Dragsvape” reserved for hotheads of the vape who wish to indulge their passion for the big cloud in complete safety and with good autonomy.

Good hunt",

Vince.
