Reviewer comments on business characteristics
The box Noisy Cricket is a mechanical box double accumulator series. Therefore, it delivers a phenomenal voltage 8,4 Volts, so a product reserved for confirmed vapers who engage in power vaping.
With an elegant look, its design is refined. It is small and light with a hybrid connector and is therefore very easy to transport.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
The Noisy Cricket is made of aluminum alloy with a brushed appearance which makes this box extremely light. With a weight of 75 ranges, it is one of the lightest boxes on the market since it even weighs less than some atomizers.
The Noisy consists of three parts: the body, the switch and a hybrid connector:
- The body does not mark fingerprints. Under the box, we can see six holes 3mm in diameter for heat dissipation
- The spring-mounted switch is flexible and pleasant to handle despite a slight squeaking.
- The hybrid connector does not have any insulation but a rim intended to rest on the insulated part of the positive terminal of the accumulator.
On the bottom of the box is placed an element that allows to put the batteries in series. It is blocked but not fixed and moves when you shake the box, but does not interfere with the use. The contacts are very good and frank.
A product of good quality that corresponds perfectly to its price range.

Vapelier's note regarding functional characteristics: 4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on functional features
The main feature of this box is to provide a voltage of 8,4 Volts ..
However, the Noisy does not have a top cap but an uninsulated hybrid connector with a flange designed to rest on the insulating part of the positive pole of the accumulator. It will therefore be necessary to check that the pin of your atomizer comes out sufficiently so as not to risk a short circuit.
This product can not be used with any atomizer because the assembly that needs to be done is an assembly that supports powers higher than 100W.
It is not possible to lock this box, it will be necessary to monitor not to place it in a pocket without precautions.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
The packaging is a rigid plastic box in which you will find your Noisy Cricket well wedged and surrounded by foam.
By transparency under the box, although there is no manual, you will be able to see how to install your batteries so that they are oriented correctly (the negative pole under the switch and the positive pole of the other battery under the hybrid connector).
Simple but sufficient packaging.

- Description of situations in which the product has experienced erratic behavior
Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 4.3/5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
The Noisy Cricket is really convenient to carry and can even fit in the front pocket of jeans without difficulty.
It is also very easy to use, just unscrew the switch and the hybrid connector, then insert the batteries correctly. On the other hand it is absolutely necessary to check that the atomizer that you are going to associate with this box has a positive pin which exceeds enough of its 510 connection so as not to risk a short circuit.
The proper assembly that must be done on this box must be appropriate, as a reminder:
In order not to do any editing, it is important to have a glimpse of the power you are going to have on the Noisy Cricket.
Knowing that at full load, your two batteries in series will deliver a voltage of 8,4V and that the calculation of the power is done according to the formula: P = U x (U / R). ["P" being the power in watts, "U" the voltage in volts and "R" the value of your resistance in ohms.]
If your voltage is 8,4 Volts and imagining that on your assembly the resistance value is 0.6Ω, by applying the formula: P = 8,4 x (8,4 / 0.6), you will be vaping on powers around 115 Watts. It is therefore necessary to consider preparing assemblies with thick resistive such as Clapton or above 0.5mm in double or quadruple coils.
Do not forget either to choose batteries paired and charged in the same way with a strong discharge current (30A) because if the voltage accumulates with batteries in series, the intensity does not accumulate.
The Indestructible dripper (see below) is an ato which corresponds perfectly, since it is intended for very thick wires and high powers because it dissipates this type of big heat perfectly and allows to carry out large assemblies of double and quadruple coils.
Recommendations for use

The mood ticket of the reviewer
A pretty box very compact in a brushed finish. It is not complicated in its use but is not at all suitable for beginners. This box is made for fans of power vaping because it is used with two accumulators in series for an output voltage of 8,4V. Which means that you will be wagering on powers of more than 100 watts.
Its conductivity is perfect, which is why you have to be careful with the atomizer with which you are going to associate it. It is necessary that the positive pin of this one sticks out sufficiently of its connection 510, that it has an insulation supporting the very high powers and that its heat dissipation is exceptional.
The combination of the Noisy Cricket setup with the Indestructible dripper is offered at our sponsor at a rate of 69 €. This is the ideal set for that perfectly matches the type of vape sought after by power vaping enthusiasts for a truly honest budget.
