Reviewer comments on business characteristics

 

Gyro-HCIGAR-Specs-sizes-Declinaison

Do not look for innovation in the electronics of this mod, if it is flawless, it does not bring anything new to the market.
On the other hand, you will find all the quintessence in terms of innovation of HCIGAR by admiring the photo above.
No you are not dreaming, the mod supports all sizes of accumulators ... but if I tell you, that in addition it goes into mechanical mode, did I draw your attention?
Three sizes… two possible uses of vape: Yes, the Gyro alone can replace six configurations, all for the low price of a mid-range mod.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

Gyro-HCIGAR-Head

An electronic head, offering a smooth vape, and capable of going up to 35 watts ... a single interface button ... hummm I know what you are thinking: You will still have to have champion reflexes to configure it from its single button.
Big mistake ! the Gyro will make your head spin ... as the user manual below shows us there is a trick ...

Gyro-HCIGAR Setup

 

Its on-board gyroscope allows trivial adjustment by tilting it left and right (less and more power).
Certainly it's already seen, but it works perfectly.

Gyro-HCIGAR-Pin

The height adjustment of the batteries (with or without nipples) will be done through a central pin that you will need to screw.
Be careful not to lose it… The easiest way is to always leave it in place.

How does one go into mechanical mode?
Quite simply through an inversion of the bottom cap.

Gyro-HCIGAR-shift-mode-meca

In the case of left the position in electronic mode, in the case of right the mechanical position.
Reversing the position of the insulating delrin is enough to transform the bottom cap into a Fire button for mechanical mode.
As Papagallo would say, it's clever, and above all fun!

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Gyro-HCIGAR-packaging

Box, manual (in English alas), everything is there.
No complaints.
A small drawer inside the box serves as an alcove for all the parts ... except for the support of our beautiful French language in the manual, it's flawless.

Appreciations in use

  • Transport facilities with the test atomizer: Ok for Jean's back pocket (no discomfort)
  • Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
  • Easy to change the batteries: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
  • 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: 4.5/5 4.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

In mechanical or electronic configuration, this mod has never failed.
It loses one point because in the electro 18650 version it is a bit heavy to be mobile in the inside pocket of a jacket.
It is an excellent product and it is able to show it through all your vaping uses.

Recommendations for use

  • Type of batteries used during the tests: 18650
  • Number of batteries used during the tests: 1
  • With what type of atomizer is it advisable to use this product? Dripper, A classic fiber - resistance greater than or equal to 1.7 Ohms, A low resistance fiber less than or equal to 1.5 ohms, In sub-ohm assembly, Reconstructable Génésys type metal mesh assembly, Rebuildable type Génésys metal wick assembly
  • With which model of atomizer is it advisable to use this product? This mod adapts to all possible atomizers. For aesthetic needs, I recommend limiting yourself to diameters of 22 or even 23 mm maximum.
  • Description of the test configuration used: T2, Kayfun 3.1 ES, Aspire Nautilus, IGO L
  • Description of the ideal configuration with this product: Your favorite dripper in mechanical mode and a good nautilus for an electro mode

No

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Do I recommend this mod? Yes definitely.
Why ? Because I like its multiple possibilities of adaptation.
He is a real vaping chameleon ... and in use he creates a real emotional bond, so much is he helpful every day (practice of going to a meeting with the HCIGAR in the pocket of his jacket in mecha mode 18350 with a light dripper like anything for the break, and to be able to switch to 18650 electro at lunchtime…).

Is 35 watts enough for a cool vape during a work day when making cumulonimbus clouds in the middle of your work colleagues is not necessarily the thing to do? Yes, of course ... especially if you think you can in mech mode, play to beat your fog record from the day before in your living room while waiting for the 20:00 pm news!

When all the kits for beginners offer for 80 euros little or no evolution of vape, and that the electro mods offer for the same price ... only electro the Gyro-HCIGAR is certainly an option to consider before making your first or next purchase.

Looking forward to reading you.

Spoke.
