Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Asmodus, Sigelei's partner, is well known in our regions with a very muscular box, the Snow Wolf 200w, a rather typical power box which did not necessarily please everyone.
Strong to be seen, the decision to create a small box with neat design, rather chic without cutting corners on the power was taken.
The Minikin was born with a specification for the least abundantly provided.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
In its black version, the Minikin offers a soft touch coating. Indeed, it is fully covered with a second silicone skin offering a grip and a flawless finish.
For other colors (white and blue) it will be a painting that will be more sensitive to scratches. Too bad that the silicone coating was not applied to the other colors.
The grip is very good, even for those with small hands. The layout of the various buttons is also well thought out, taking again what made the sucks of Stratum, a best seller from Russia.
So we will find a nice shoot button on the top of the box just above the screen and both [+] and [-] button on the edge, in the low position, slightly protruding to avoid unwanted support.
Also present, a spring loaded 510 connector, slightly protruding to avoid any scratching on the coating, while ensuring a flush mounting of your atomizers.
The little extra box, its chipset of American origin, the GX120 v2 announced as saving electricity.
Asmodus Announces 15 Economy Has 30% Compared to Chipsets Design. Other chipset manufacturers do not communicate on consumption values, it will be hard to check the advanced figures not Asmodus.
The latter, moreover, announces a “Work Efficiency” of 94%. Basically, when shooting, only 6% of energy will be lost between powering the chipset and the heat released by the latter to send, so you will understand, 94% will go to your atomizer.
If in fact, these values are not measurable by us, simple vapers, it results in a real low electrical consumption quantifiable by the number of times you will need to change the battery during the day.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
The Minikin is a box 18650 double flat type of battery (flat positive), housed under a hood intelligently integrated into the design of the box.
It will be able to deliver 120W in standard power mode and 60W in temperature control mode.
It will take your resistances from 0.1ohm and up to 2.5ohms and will be able to deliver to your atomizer 7.5v and 35A at most
His chipset him, will offer several functions.
- Adjustable power.
- Temperature control.
Compatible with Ni200, Titanium, ss304 and ss316
- Brightness adjustment.
Convenient to save valuable volt.
- Screen color inverter.
Black and white <-> white and black
All easily accessible via an 5 clicks on the shoot.
To avoid any problem of overheating or in the event of degassing of a defective battery, a row of vents is located under the box out of sight.
Technical pretensions very interesting and sticking perfectly to current productions.
Some will regret the absence of a bypass or meca mode, but this choice is simply explained by the fact that the box is supplied by two batteries in series (therefore 8.4v input) and that it would have been necessary to add some additional components to electronics to lower this voltage to lower values, which would have increased the price of the final note.
For charging, everything will happen on a dedicated charger, indeed, for the sake of aesthetics, Asmodus has chosen not to include a USB port that can yet be useful on the go. You are warned, take the batteries!

The mood ticket of the reviewer
The Minikin is for me a real success, both aesthetically and technically.
The dimensions make them one of the smallest double battery boxes currently on the market, despite this it offers a power of 120W thanks to its excellent GX120 chipset here in v2 version.
Some people complained about a temperature control completely in the street on the first batches (GX120 v1) it is now a bad memory.
Too bad, however, that you have to buy a box again to take advantage of the evolutions of the chipset, a simple USB port (even hidden under the battery hatch) for the updates would have been a real plus, especially for the processors of the first batches.
