A mod electronic mini box format that does its job but on which we should not expect performance miracles either.
A fair price but a bit expensive for the technology used.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Arf, I am divided as to the quality of the button / box assembly… Basically the buttons move alone and are therefore noisy… if not for the rest, there is nothing to say oh yes, the screen or at least the plexiglass covering it which is certainly not well sealed… too bad because for the rest level finish it is rather not bad at all.
A price lower than the amount requested would be welcome for these negative points. But good to 45 euro, we will not complain either!

Reviewer's comments on functional features

If you get the iStick pack, you will have in the package a mini USB cable, a power adatateur, an adapter to vaper with your EGO type ato connection.
Power and intensity readings show that this box is equipped with a chipset which sends more than what is displayed on the screen ... good or bad news? Your turn to judge.
We adapt, don't we?
The only settings available are the volts, and the watts… nothing else, simple sober and made for simply vaping.
Although all ato of any diameter can be mounted on it ... its thickness of 21 mm means that there is an aesthetic limit that should not be exceeded.
The two very wide grooves allow a considerable air supply for the vape in carto! yeeeeaaaahhhhh!
Equipped with a LI-po type battery with a capacity of 2200mah… you will have plenty to see coming!

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5 4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Correct packaging is present, we are not going to say the opposite either… but the user manual or rather the “user manual” as it is written is totally in English and since the illustrations are small and not explicit… for beginners and completely non-English speakers it can be a problem….
For the rest nothing to add

Appreciations in use

  • Transport facilities with the test atomizer: Ok for a Jean side pocket (no discomfort)
  • Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
  • Easy to change batteries: Not applicable, the battery is only rechargeable
  • Did the mod heat up? No
  • Has there been any erratic behavior after a day of use? Yes
  • Description of situations in which the product has experienced erratic behavior

Two problems really encountered with this mini box ...
the first, the fire button which played tricks on me if it is not pressed correctly… Missfire obliges but nothing very bad in itself!
The second problem which for me is more annoying ... it is that arrived below the half-load of the battery ... the chipset is not able to provide what it takes to send what is requested by the user ………… ..good considering the price… we're not going to complain, I want to say!

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

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

It's small, it works not too badly and it is especially design and practical for beginners in box or in electro mod.
Simple to use and maintain, just plug in to recharge and wipe with a wipe if necessary… easier, you die!

The mood ticket of the reviewer

To be completely honest, I like this box despite these small flaws that could spoil its use.
But its really cool design, and its ease of operation outweighs these somewhat minor details anyway.
It provides a nice vape, his grip and touch are still excellent!
