Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
It is undeniable, Silenus is a quality product.
Stainless steel goes very well with rosewood. The style of decoration of this mod is assimilated or look “Opinel ®” by its color and its rounded and generous shape, I would say almost warm.
The switch is mounted on leds barely visible in broad daylight but in the twilight, they are well distinguished and they can be blue or white.
As for the bottom cap and top cap, these are spring-loaded in addition to adapting to any type of atomizer

Reviewer's comments on functional features
Using Silenus is really simple:
In 5 clicks, you turn it on or off.
In 3 clicks, you change the voltage mode and the power mode (the LED lights up in white in voltage mode, and in blue in power mode).
For the rotating ring, the chosen voltage or power is placed in front of the red dot. It adjusts the voltage between 3.6V, 4V, 4.4V, 4.8V or 6 volts in voltage mode, or 6W, 8W, 10W, 12W or 15 watts in power mode.
The 510 / eGo connector allows you to use any type of atomizer, since it comes with two tops caps. One can adapt to reconstructable type atomizers for example, the other to clearomizers equipped with an eGo thread (example CE4…).
It is protected against overheating and short circuits.
It turns off when the voltage drops below 3.3v and does not accept resistances below 1.2 ohms.
Both the top cap and the bottom cap are spring-loaded and allow all atomizers and accumulators to be adapted (flat top or with nipples)

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
The template of this mod is quite impressive. In small hands, it looks impressive but it is adopted very quickly. However, it is rather an object of vape made for the house, comfortably installed in its armchair.
This mod allows a vape of pleasant comfort but it is impossible to splurge too much with it since we are limited in power and also by the value of the resistance. But on the other hand, your accumulators will last longer ... 😉

The mood ticket of the reviewer
The Silenus is an elegant and massive mod at the same time. With its graceful form, it is distinguished.
Its use is extremely simple but limited. It is not a warrior, but rather an object of comfort that allows a generous, constant and classy vape.
Although this mod works perfectly well, I regretted its unusual size. I did not use the first two powers (namely 6 and 8 Watts), I regret this limitation to 15 watts which seems too fair to me, both in terms of the price range and in terms of current performance, but this is all I can fault him for.
