Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The Skystar Revvo, originally, was entrusted to me as a kit including this box and the Revvo Tank clearomiser. I preferred to do a complete review for each of them since they are also sold separately. 

As soon as the pack opens, I first see the box and there… Wow! I am delighted to test this product with a clean, refined look that can perfectly suit both a woman and a man. Whether you are young or old, it is a versatile style that exudes a terrible charm. I take it in hand and realize that it is also very light. That's it, I'm cracking. Obviously, in carbon fiber, this Skystar does not weigh heavy but in addition its size remains in a fairly compact size for a double battery box. So much for the exterior look, but what about the rest?

The screen offers great visibility and a lot of information but the surprise is the touch. A screen that obeys fingers with precise coding that requires particular movements that we will detail further in the use. Therefore, this Skystar does not have physical adjustment buttons.

The chipset offers a lot of possibilities with a maximum power of 210W, temperature control, By-Pass system, CPS, not to mention the display of vape time, date, time, brightness screen and I certainly forget.

The resistance value is between 0.1 and 5Ω. The top-cap offers an all-steel 510 connection in a center plate that can accept atomizers up to 25mm in diameter.

All security is assured and protection systems are integrated to limit the risk of incidents or damage to the equipment. Charging via micro-USB port is possible.

This product comes in several colors. Depending on the shop, more or less choice will be offered but always in the chic and subtlety. In short a beautiful who knows how to seduce as much by its physical aspect as by the proposed capabilities.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The Skystar is in my opinion, beautifully drawn. In an anthracite gray and black color, it offers an oblique checkered pattern that blends superbly with the silver stripes on each profile of the box, as on the top-cap with the stainless steel turntable.

It offers a rare comfort in the grip. Her rounded curves have been accentuated on the upper part of the box and, her perimeter is not huge, she easily holds in a female hand that can encompass her in her palm.

So the switch on the front is as easy to handle as if it was on the side of the mod.

The body is carbon fiber, which makes the box quite light but necessarily more fragile than the metal. However, it seems to me that for its usefulness, that is enough.

The battery access hatch is held by two magnets which are very efficient. The opening and closing of this part are really simple by sliding the tip of the nail, (yes it takes a few nails for it) in the slot on the bottom of this door.

The brass pin is spring mounted, it is centered on the top cap to make the most of the room for the atomizer. Even if the width of the Skystar is 30mm, considering the convex shape for the front and rear face, the diameter of 25mm for the ato will be a maximum and it is already not bad.

 

The rectangular switch takes the full width of this rectangle and, although imposing, remains discreet and fully integrated into the facade, nothing exceeds. The USB port, meanwhile, is classic on the bottom center of the same rectangle. The screen is bright and provides a lot of information. Yet each of them is highlighted by a controlled organization and a well chosen format.

There is therefore no adjustment button since the screen is touch-sensitive. So is it working properly? A priori yes! Obviously, the operation and the sensitivity are not those of a telephone, sometimes you have to resume handling a second time to get to its menu but let's not forget that the dimensions of a smartphone screen and those of the Skystar Revvo are not really comparable. But we always manage to access what we want.

Now, with regard to reliability over time, it's like everything, I do not have the necessary perspective to say more. No particular anomaly found in any case.

A nice product, well in place, with a quality more than satisfactory.

Vapelier's note regarding functional characteristics: 4.8 / 5 4.8 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The main characteristics of the Switcher are:

  • A completely androgynous look, a contemporary style that is suitable for all ages and a choice of color to purchase that does not change the design of the product.
  • A fast charging system, 2A max via the micro-USB port.
  • Easy navigation in the menu and possibilities such as:

Locking the resistance, adjusting the screen brightness, the clock function which appears when the box is paused and which comes in two different formats to be defined between the hand clock or the digital format including the date and sleep time setting according to inactivity and display of the time a puff lasts.

The different modes of vape:

  • Power mode (High, Soft, Normal or CCW)

  • Voltage mode
  • Temperature control mode (Ni, SS, Ti)

  • By-pass mode
  • CPS mode (C1, C2 and C3)

The protections:

Against short circuits, chipset overheating, voltage drop, resistance too low, battery low and more.

The Skystar is a powerful chipset that manages this box with maximum security, it offers several modes of vape with adjustments to adjust. Some functions are simple, others more complex to master. Be careful, however, because with a power of 210W maxi it needs to be equipped with two 18650 batteries that require a high discharge current greater than or equal to 25A.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 3 / 5 3 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The packaging is complete. In a thick cardboard box, we find the box with its micro-USB cable. We also have a notice and a certificate of authenticity.

Under the box, you will find the part for the atomizer, the Revvo Tank, for those who have opted for the Kit.

A complete packaging that perfectly matches the price range offered.

I regret that the record is also poor information for the box, with a minimum of information and what is more, in English only.

Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 4.5/5 4.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The Skystar Revvo offers a beautiful clear screen with all the necessary information, organized in a homogeneous way with a different format for each information so that they are well separated from each other. Not only are the information easy to read but they are also hierarchized effectively.

Thus its use is very simple by following the reading of the screen.

To turn on / off, like the other boxes, you have to quickly press the switch five times. However, locking the switch is not possible. By pressing three times, the screen turns off but the box still works, which saves energy. Switching off (or reactivating) the screen can also be done by tapping three times with your finger on this touch screen.

 Access to the menu is made by sliding your finger twice, from top to bottom. Then just let yourself be guided by the information on the screen which offers five options:

  1. Modes: which offers five possibilities between a vape in Watt (power), in Volt with the display of the voltage, the by-Pass allows a vape like a mechanical mod, the TC for temperature control and finally the CPS which allows '' adjust your vape in half a second and spread over ten seconds maximum.

In TC (temperature control), three possibilities are available to you with nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti) or stainless steel (SS).

In CPS, three memorizations are possible (C1, C2, C3).

To make your choice, simply press the selected mode.

In case of error, to return to the previous proposals, simply slide your finger once from left to right.

In order to adjust the box to your vape and choose the power (or voltage or temperature), you have to slide your finger twice from the bottom to the top, so you access the settings.

  1. Data: Data gives you direct access to either the Hard - Norm - Soft option, TC or CPS.

  1. System offers the following settings:
  • Vape time
  • Screen time
  • Watch time
  • Brightness
  • Language
  • default

  1. Time allows you to set the date and time digitally, analogically or completely off.

  1. About shows you the QRcode of the box with its name and version.

 

The Skystar automatically pauses according to the time you have previously chosen, you can quit "rearm" the screen by tapping it three times with your finger.

I really enjoyed visualizing the time of each of my puffs, which personally is between two and six seconds. So it allows me to adjust the CPS more precisely and more personally for each of my puffs with a very generous possibility of up to ten seconds.

Although the possibilities are eclectic, the box itself is quite simple to handle.

For the accuracy of power and responsiveness, everything is perfect, this chipset works perfectly up to 210W offered and insured. But at this power bumper, like most boxs, it heats a little and discharges very quickly.

For touch, I remain reluctant even if I know that my opinion is not very objective. I have nothing significant to reproach him, but I remain skeptical about these long-term tactile manipulations with no return possibilities for the moment.

In summary, easy to use, there are very few movements to know:

Slide your finger up and down twice to access the menu.

Slide your finger twice up and down to adjust the + and -.

Slide your finger once from left to right to go back.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

I really fell in love with this Skystar Revvo, the white carbon fiber version is sublime and more of a rather feminine product. While in black, the mod is rather "all-purpose" for a man, whether young or not.

The touch works well but sometimes remains reluctant and does not react as perfectly as a smartphone, its operation in the long term is not yet known. The switch reacts well, the ergonomics with this template is really comfortable and the chipset is powerful.

The quality is good even if the carbon fiber seems a little fragile, however it allows this product to maintain a lightness uncommon for a double box battery with a power greater than 200W.

Those who use the CPS will really appreciate the visualization of the puff time on the screen to adjust their settings.

I also welcome the organization of information that makes reading clear and easy at a glance.

Refined and full of charm while maintaining a clean style, the androgyny of the Skystar is perfect and only one color of the coating to match perfectly to the sex of the one or who chooses.
