Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Back to basics with this telescopic mechanical mode from Kamry.
K for Kamry, TS for TéléScopique, very inspired by Golden Greek (165 euros) created by the Greek moderator Athanasis Raptis (also known under the nicknames Imeothanasis or simply Imeo).
This is a mod with the particularity of having a SIDE button (I love it), and as we will see a good quality of finish, for a mid-range price.
Let's say it right away… the most with this KTS Plus as with all mechanical mods: A smooth vape by definition! So… happiness.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

KTS plus - All parts

The Top cap is designed to support all types of Ego or 510 atomizers.
Its 22 mm width allows it to be easily matched with the best-selling products on the market.

Locking the button with a locking locknut is just perfect… the button stroke itself is neither too short nor too long, and easily usable even with a little finger.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

A box, a manual (in English) with some diagrams showing the screwing and unscrewing of the parts ... and that's it.
At the same time it is a mechanical mod… in other words a tube with a switch in which we place an accumulator… so that does not require long verbiages.

Appreciations in use

  • Transport facilities with the test atomizer: Ok for an inside jacket pocket (no deformations)
  • 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? At the fire button
  • Has there been any erratic behavior after a day of use? No
  • Description of situations in which the product has experienced erratic behavior

Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 4.1/5 4.1 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The only flaw of this mod is that its button can heat up slightly with use.
Of course, this does not prevent use, but it is sufficient only to be felt.
After some research and discussions on the atoutvap.fr forum, Papagallo explained to me that this heater was due to the material with which the two springs were covered (the one making contact with the battery and the one supporting the stroke of the fire button). It would be enough (I have not tried) to polish these two springs to get rid of this small defect.

Recommendations for use

  • Type of batteries used during the tests: 18650
  • Number of batteries used during the tests: 1

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? every 22 millimeters, but given the mechanical nature of this mod, I recommend the use of a dripper.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

I love mechanical mods!
I like mechanical mods with a side button.
I like the KTS Plus.
Whether in configuration and minimum size with an 18350 battery or in extended mode with an 18650 this mod will always respond.
Notwithstanding the small heating defect of its button (as we mentioned in the previous section), its versatility, its quality of manufacture, the position of its button and its locking system make it a must for me have for any fan of mechanic vaping!
If its top cap supports all types of atos, it is in my opinion with a dripper that this mod will fully express its qualities.
Looking forward to reading you.
Spoke.
