Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Small box that presents well but once in hand we realize that the assemblies are not always well done.
Indeed the buttons swim a little too much in their housing and the box will tend to play maracas ... it's a shame ... especially since this price range of other manufacturers are faultless (review of the 30 cloupor). Another defect, it seems that some series have a problem with the 510 thread. In fact, some atomizers simply cannot be mounted there without going through the 510 / ego adapter provided.
My Expromizer mounts there without worry, but not my Russian. It is for this reason that I cannot give a good rating to the threads.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

Nothing to report when the output signal of the box, the signal is flat (to check on oscilloscope but I am not equipped).
The voltages displayed are true to the output voltage (tested via voltmeter).
And the ampere limit set at 8A is very appreciable on “relatively” low resistances.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Here is a promising little box. If you are not too careful about the assemblies this box could suit you.
It has everything to please, integrated battery (perfect for beginners in the vape who have neither battery nor charger), with USB 1A charger instead of the usual 500mah which will save precious time when charging, 510 connector spring loaded (when the screw thread is good), 30w max output and it is available in several colors (black, blue, gray and pink).

Gone are the days of the vamo and its chipset (bell) at 33 htz and its 15w maxi, today it is miniaturization and smooth vape.

 

Erratum, after checking the box is not smooth. It uses a 48Hertz chipset

If I can give you some advice, if you buy from an online shop, ask to have the connector checked before your delivery, it would be a shame not to be able to use your box because of a badly machined connector. After this detail (which is not one) this mini box works quite well.
