Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Smy is a Chinese manufacturer, here declining his box in its ultimate version with a so-called “organic” look.
260 watts embedded in a large volume, all powered by three accumulators.
Yes you read correctly: 260 watts and three batteries.
Target market: Expert vapers, looking for very strong sensations. Those indulging in Cloud Chasing competitions (vapor clouds competition), or, and this is where this box is even more astonishing, those wishing to have a box offering unlimited autonomy ... (almost a week full as far as I'm concerned).
As we will see below, the SMY 260 Organic has two modes.
The first being limited to 80 watts and optimizing autonomy, the second allowing access to 260 watts by drawing on the amperage of the batteries to the detriment this time of any autonomy.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Ok, you probably won't find it beautiful… (I do), but you have to take it in hand to feel its weight, its build quality.
It is when inserting the accumulators that we realize that we are in front of a Ferrari F40 of the vape (aesthetics in less).
Here not a point of glue, not a thread lying around… a wire… a cable should I say… the two welds which are barely visible if we do not tilt the beast, and which connects the 510 pin to the motherboard of the case reveal the thickness of the brass that has been assembled.
The connectors for the batteries also seem to be made of the same metal, and have the solidity of a ROC .... Large, powerful paws, not always delicate, here no complex, the SMY is cut for you both by its volumes and by its manufacture .
The plate that must be unscrewed to reach the motherboard, the cover that must in fact be lifted to reach the motor, is made of Aluminum like the rest of the case.
It is adjusted not only through the two screws, but also by “magnetization” under the magnetic attraction which connects it to the rest of the case.
Screwing on again is child's play, so that you no longer use the SMY except through its USB battery charging function.
Let's talk about the accumulators right away… HERE IT TAKES A HEAVY, the manufacturer recommends the use of THREE batteries of the same model, with a (very) high CDM, ie 30 Amps!
During our tests we used LG batteries, which were provided to us by our sponsor: Le Monde De La Vape, so if you decide to buy the SMY, do not forget to add the ad-hoc batteries to your basket in line.
In summary, it is a product manufactured under the highest industrial quality auspices, which will never let you go (unless it is you who do it against concrete), both by its quality of manufacture and by the quality of the components. electronic components.

Vapelier's note regarding functional characteristics: 4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on functional features
All the power management, as well as the quality of the vape (as smooth as a stirred yogurt) in two words, but what words: Texas Instrument.
The Texan smelter designed and made available to all manufacturers a chipset with outstanding performance!
Smy took it and made it the heart of the motherboard that he screwed onto the backplane of his box.
In terms of accuracy, as in the first review by Papagallo, I too noticed some differences in the low powers.
But as this box is not intended to be used around 10w, nobody cares!
Indeed when you go up in the towers, this chipset is as effective as a metronome, 70w? here is 70w, 100 w? well here are 100 and so on or arrived at 260w and depending on the discharge available in the accumulators, the SMY will deliver what is asked of it.
The SMY has two modes.
The first is limited to a high value of 80 watts (all the same ... 80 watts!), For which the three batteries will offer any vapoteur the dream autonomy to make a Paris-Nice-Nice-Paris by bike without ever having need to look for an electrical outlet.
The second mode, called SUPER, will release the horses under the hood of the monster, not without having warned to make a final adjustment of the levels, by setting up, high-discharge accumulators.
For both modes, we can program a whole series of cut-off, knowing that the default values offered are inversely proportional to the output power demand (logically, the higher the power, the shorter the cut-off is ).
As such, I played sorcerer's apprentices, by putting myself in super mode, with an ato mounted in 0.3 ohms and by rising as high as possible according to the residual discharge of my batteries, not without having gorged my magma with juice test both in the tanks, and on my fiber here, Fiber-Freaks
The result was not long in coming, judge rather.
Second 1.5, more juice on the fiber and the resistance becomes as glowing as during a dry burn.
Second 2, my ato ignites!
Novice vapoteurs friends, do not play games, it's about your health and your safety.
It is DEBILE to ask a mod to deliver so much power on such a low resistance… for information, everything would have happened otherwise with a 2 ohm resistance!
Otherwise, it's like driving a Ferrari F40 when you just got your license… At 300 km / h there can only be an encounter with a wall!
To finish the experiment, I wanted to see how the Fiber Freaks reacted…
As you can see, NOTHING! not a mark! bravo!
To come back to our mod, as you can see on the technical sheet above, it offers all the features required by a mod in its category, but few in its category can offer as much as him.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
Yes with this mod we are in the high end, it is a luxury racing car.
But as in a prestigious dealer, we are pampered, pampered ... Here the only fault of our Chinese friends is to ignore the language of Voltaire.
For the rest everything is present, with in addition to all the small necessary equipment (screwdriver, Len wrench, resistive, charging cord…) we offer you a superb cover, in the effigy of the lion which surmounts the mod.
Yes I know what you are thinking… you remember receiving your pipeline in a cardboard box… me too… and it's sad.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
Its weak point in terms of mobility is what makes its strength for the rest.
You have to put the three batteries somewhere, suddenly, it becomes difficult to transport in a jeans pocket and even less in a jacket pocket.
Also unless taking a pants size above yours, this mod requires a carrier.
This disadvantage will soon be forgotten once sitting pulling your next puff!

The mood ticket of the reviewer
This is the most powerful mod the Vapelier has ever tested, this is the most powerful mod I have ever had in my hands!
Everything in this mod is superlative, everything is out of the ordinary!
The chipset, autonomy, power, but also weight and size ...
The quality is palpable, the motherboard is a jewel (and I know what I'm talking about believe me).
We can't blame him for his price, he's worth every penny we spend on him, and icing on the cake, in 18 months, maybe Texas or someone else will have released another chipset, but while waiting for the SMY will always be relevant!
Do I recommend this mod? Yes without hesitation.
Do I recommend this mod to a beginner? No way ! Watch it as a young driver looks at a Lamborghini, but don't touch it until you really know what you're doing.
Looking forward to reading you.
Spoke.
