Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Wotofo has built most of its reputation with atomizers of all kinds. Although the manufacturer has been trying for some time to design more or less successful boxes depending on the references, its core business is well anchored around steam engines. Recently, the Serpent in its various variations or even the first Conqueror of the name had known how to seduce many consumers by real progress made around the expression of flavors for rather typical “vapor” atos.

The Conqueror Mini is therefore the offspring of the initial Conqueror but with a smaller e-liquid capacity and therefore a more versatile size. Well in tune with a trend towards miniaturization of set-ups, it is the worthy successor of its glorious elder and offers similarities which indicate that the genetics of the range are respected.

Offered at a rate of less than € 30 by our sponsor, it potentially represents a good deal if it actually delivers what it promises on paper and this is what we will strive to verify below.

Typical double coil and available in steel or black finish, the Conqueror Mini offers, like its father, a so-called “postless” plate whose proper functioning we will scrutinize in particular. 

Come on, I put on my overalls, I take the drill and my ladder and let's go for a ride!

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The first thing that stands out is that the Mini differs aesthetically from its big brother, Wotofo having completely freed the design codes that had prevailed at the first design of the product.

Looking like the pack of atomizers in the same category, we can't say that the Mini made any effort to stand out from the crowd. Allowing oneself, in terms of frills, only two fine steel edging on my black copy and a textured top-cap to facilitate the grip, we can not say that the aesthetic revolution will be done with it. Of course, it's not ugly either, but it looks like ... an atomizer.

The perceived quality is average, material thickness at the union minimum and no protection at the level of the pyrex, but the assembly is precise enough to guarantee normal operation. We are not on the high-end and the price shows it fortunately, but for the entry level, it is done with seriousness. We imagine that the goal was to make a small atomizer but also light and, for once, it is successful.

Built in steel and pyrex, the Mini has a non-adjustable but gold-plated 510 connection to avoid corrosion phenomena and therefore better hold over time without having to intervene on the pin. The gaskets and the threads are of correct quality, sized for the product and I do not see any mechanical problem in assembling or disassembling the atomizer nor in use.

A positive balance sheet against the price and absolutely not shameful.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

2.5ml capacity, top filling and airflow ring located on the base of the atomizer, these are standard benchmarks offered by the Mini. What is less is the use of the famous postless tray that we will see immediately.

Indeed, the plate does not present any bracket likely to fix the legs of your coils. It is presented as a bare plate, just equipped with four holes, two positive and two negative to fix your mounts and the screws to tighten the legs are located on the outside of the plate, on the edge. A concept that we have already seen before, in the brand's Conqueror RTA but also elsewhere.

The difficulty with this type of plate is to cut the legs in advance to the right dimension in order to ensure contact but also not to have any irregularities in the coils. Wotofo has thought of everything while providing an essential accessory that serves as a template. Indeed, on this tool in the shape of a paperclip, all you have to do is coil on the upper part (3 diameters available: 3mm, 2.5mm and 2mm), leave the legs of your coils hanging down and cut them at the bottom of the lower part. So you can be sure that the length is correct. No superfluous calculations, no rules or calipers, it's very simple but you had to think about it.

Once the coils are made and cut to the right height, the rest is simple. One leg of each coil goes into the positive orifice which can be identified thanks to the peek insulator which surrounds it, one leg goes into the negative. The resistance naturally falls above the airholes and it suffices to adjust conventionally to have a good balance of the two coils. I point out all the same that at the start, my copy only conveyed the current on a coil and I had to force the screwing of the central pin of the connection a little to “stir” the whole in order to rectify what does not. is most likely a bug on my model. Since then, after several days of use, no problem! So if this happens to you, you know what you have to do 😉.

It should be noted that the diameters of the post holes are large enough to make room for complex threads. I used clapton, twisted and even two of the three pre-coiled resistors provided (good quality) without encountering a hitch.

This type of assembly, helped in large part by the presence of the jig tool, is easy to achieve but undoubtedly requires a little more time than a velocity assembly. Whatever… we will see below that the game is worth the candle. Especially since the implementation of the capillary is very easy: just cut the cotton short enough and position it in front of the juice access. The movement is almost natural and, if we avoid packing the cotton or the fiber too much, we will have no problem at the exit.

The airflow ring works very well, flexible enough not to break your nails and hard enough not to move on its own and reveals two large slits which augur a large volume of vapor.

For my part, I stayed on a good 0.25Ω twisted assembly, likely to deliver the real power of the ato but also to undermine it if it does not follow. 

The filling is done easily by unscrewing the top-cap, having taken care to close the airflow beforehand, the access allowing the use of any object to pour the juice.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a drip-tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Short
  • Quality of the drip-tip present: Very good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

We have here a straight plastic drip-tip, wide, quite pleasant in the mouth, not innovative for a penny but adapted to the purpose of the object. The 510 standard being here, you can replace it with the one of your choice. Personally, I used the one provided and it suited me.

In addition, I quite like, even on very airy atomizers as is the case here, to take advantage of the “turbo” effect provided by a tightening of the base in 510. Even if we are less in direct contact with the all the air available, I find the vapor more dense and compact. But it is eminently personal, I grant you that.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

No avarice at Wotofo, we have everything in the packaging to start working.

A small hard cardboard box contains dense foam for effective protection of the Conqueror Mini. On this floor, we therefore find the atomizer, phew, but also a spare pyrex.

On the floor below, it is Ali-Baba's cave! A bag of gaskets and screws, a bag containing several organic cotton pads, one more containing three resistors (why three? A double pair would have seemed more suitable, right?) But also a screwdriver of good quality and the famous tool template.

In the category of good news, note the presence of a notice in English but perfectly understandable for a neophyte in his native language because it contains clear illustrations of each step of the assembly. There is also a notice explaining how to use the template.

A truly complete pack that is a credit to the brand!

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.6 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Whatever the assembly used, the observation is the same: the Conqueror Mini does indeed send big clouds but it is above all its rendering of flavors that I do not hesitate to qualify as exceptional that makes it emerge, and largely, from the lot.

Indeed, the nudity of the plateau and its contained volume are major assets for an unconventional release of steam and the concentration of juices. And the taste is magnificent! Each aroma is accurately transcribed here and, despite everything, the compactness of the result forces respect. And even if these two qualities seem antinomic, it is clear that Wotofo has proposed an exciting compromise that causes an aromatic saturation to attract the most refractory and easily competes with some drippers known for their flavors. 

Let us add to this that the capillarity is never thwarted. Whether at 65W with my 0.25Ω assembly or at 80W, even if the temperature naturally increases, the results are identical. You can chain-vape at will, the Conqueror Mini never lost its perfect ability to swallow liquids of all viscosities and I had no dry-hits in three days of intensive operation. 

The fillings are easy and still happy because, with 2.5ml of capacity, they are quite frequent. Strictly speaking, I did not notice any leaks but a few rare oozes in the airholes when they are closed and reopened to fill. I reassure you, if there is half a drop in all, it's the end of the world!

The mood ticket of the reviewer

The Conqueror Mini is aptly named. 

Doing much better than staying in the shadow of its predecessor, it offers a voluptuous and generous vape while being one of the best atomizers in the world in terms of restitution of flavors. He even freelances some more well-known atomizers, either side or expensive, thus demonstrating with aplomb that the result does not necessarily depend on the price but above all on the intelligence deployed to find alternative solutions.

It is a real pleasure to vape on this machine and I can only advise you in all sincerity and serenity. Its few rare flaws are quickly erased when the cloud enters your mouth, leaving you with the obligatory blissful smile, the smile of the one who rediscovers his favorite e-liquid or who finally finds an aroma he had never felt the presence before.

An excellent product, therefore, which deserves very largely his Top Ato.
