Reviewer comments on business characteristics
For the price, this is a beautiful box with a function "Temperature Control", with many securities. An elegant style with a perfectly illuminated OLED display.
Its power ranges from 5 to 50 Watts for a normal operating mode and accepts resistances from 0.1 to 3 ohms. For the TC (temperature control) mode, the setting ranges from 200 ° F (93.33 ° C) to 600 ° F (315.55 ° C) with resistance values between 0.1 and 1ohm using only resistive wire. nickel (Ni200).
This box gives us the possibility of changing the accumulator very easily thanks to its sliding cover, or to recharge it using the supplied USB socket and we can even vape while recharging. In the menu I also found a puff counter.
The front and back fronts are covered with a glossy polycarbonate fiber plating that is sensitive to finger and scratch marks, but gives this box a beautiful look.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
The dimensions and weight are a little above the average electronic boxes that are made today, however they remain reasonable.
The brushed appearance of the aluminum frame combined with the brilliant veneer facades makes it very well, while remaining in a classic style and despite its sensitivity to markings. The finishes are perfect, beautiful and neat, I did not find any aesthetic defect.
The fire button, placed on the side of the box near the 510 connection is wide, flexible, convenient and efficient. While the other smaller, discrete buttons are located on the front panel, under the OLED display. Very practical and well thought out, ergonomics and aesthetics are perfectly complementary in this product.
Beautiful and refined despite a size made for large hands, I liked this box easy to use and very well developed, which seems relatively robust.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
A small wonder with multiple functions. In the menu (pressing 3 times on the "menu" key) we find:
- Operator mode: these are two operating modes. Normal or use of the box with the temperature control (I remind you that this mode can only work by using a resistive nickel wire Ni200)
- Time Sitting: the box pauses automatically, with personalized time management.
* overtime: the box is cut if the duration of the puff is too long (long press on the switch)
* Autolock: put the box on standby beyond the time limit that you will have previously set. By default this time is 5 minutes.
* Shut down: Stop the box after a previously set time. By default this time and 6 minutes.
- Lock: to block the box directly. To unlock it is enough to press simultaneously on the two arrows, right and left.
- Power off: To turn off the box. To turn it back on, just press the switch 5 times in a row
- Puff info: Gives the pulse time on the switch and the cumulative suction time.
The protections are numerous:
- Against short circuits
- Against reverse polarity of the accumulator
- Against high internal temperatures
- Against too low voltage
- Against a long press on the switch
Variable power from 5 to 50 watts, or variable temperature from 200 ° F to 600 ° F
Operates in sub-ohm with resistors from 0.1 ohm
The pine is floating, spring-loaded.
Charging via the micro USB adapter or changing the battery
Display of the menu and its functions, battery level, watts, volts, resistance and temperature.
We can say that the functionalities of this box are multiple, there are many and they are varied…. but do they work? (we will see that a little later).
Evaluation of the packaging

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
A fairly complete package with the box first of course, a mini carton serving as a warranty certificate, a small cloth to clean the shiny parts, a USB adapter for recharging and a comprehensive explanatory note but unfortunately only in English. All stalled in a foam covered with black velvet and in a solid cardboard box.
This is a good packaging which fully protects the components it contains.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
CAUTION: if you use a resistive wire other than Nickel while being on the "temperature control" function, the box will not work and this is normal. It is important to know that for the moment, most clearomizers with interchangeable coils, do not have a nickel resistive wire except those marked “TC”, therefore, be careful of the mode you use before use ( rest assured, nothing will be damaged), before trying to understand why the box does not work.
Easy to use, simply initially define the operating mode you want, depending on the resistive wire chosen.
From there, it remains just to be guided if necessary, by the menu that gives very easily the features you need.
I tested this box in both modes on rebuildable atomizer and on Dripper:
In normal mode with 0.3 ohm resistor in double coil with a kanthal of 0.5mm of diameter, I vape up to 50 watts without difficulty. A superb warm and smooth steam, it remains constant during the vape. I did not encounter any particular problem.
In TC mode with Ni200 nickel resistive wire of 0.25 diameter, I realized a single coil on a 3mm support with ten turns for a value of 0.29 ohm at 600 ° F on a "Zenith" dripper. I get a fabulous cold steam with big clouds. I am impressed by the lack of lukewarmness and the fruity flavors of liquids are excellent. On the other hand for the tobacco flavors, I admit that a steam a little warmer I miss.
For the 510 spring-mounted connection, it's ideal to have a flush atomizer with the mod, no need to have a preset or screw anything.
The cover to access the accumulator, slides very well and locks by magnetization once in place. An intelligent system that is easy to handle.
Everything is working fine but I regret just one thing is its consumption. It is greedy and I advise you to take an additional accumulator with you if you want to spend the whole day without the risk of breaking down. You can also reduce the screen's active standby time by configuring it.
Recommendations for use
- Type of batteries used during the tests: 18650
- Number of batteries used during the tests: 1
- With what type of atomizer is it advisable to use this product? Dripper, A classic fiber - resistance greater than or equal to 1.7 Ohms, A low resistance fiber less than or equal to 1.5 ohms, In sub-ohm assembly, Reconstructable Genesis type metal mesh assembly, Reconstructable Genesis type metal wick assembly
- With which model of atomizer is it advisable to use this product? no particular model
- Description of Test Configuration Used: Zenith Dripper Test with Ni200 for 0.29 Ohm Resistance
- Description of the ideal configuration with this product: In order to take advantage of the TC function a RDA or RTA with a Ni200 mounting would be wise and preferable if you are vaping fruity liquids. Normal mode remains classic (of course!)

The mood ticket of the reviewer
Very few negative points in relation to the offer of the functionalities of this box as well as for its functional and aesthetic qualities.
For the negatives:
- The size and weight are a little above the electronic classic boxes
- USB charging below (impractical with a mounted dripper)
- Fingerprints and scratches are easily made
- Quite energy intensive in its default settings. (the screen in particular)
For the positives:
- Its beautiful appearance and robustness, its large bright OLED display and the position of buttons very practical.
- A menu and features easy to use.
- Comfortable power value with use of sub-ohm up to 0.1 ohm
- Dual mode: normal (variable power or TC)
- Blocking and stopping in manual or automatic
- The count of impulses on the switch and the duration of the puffs
- Recharging of the battery by a USB adapter with the possibility of vapping during reloading.
- 510 connection with spring pin
- And all the many safety features, even to the point of painting two enormous “+” and “-” signs on the location of the battery.
- When the price, it is also very competitive, what to ask for better? a slightly smaller format for female hands .... Thank you !
I think this box is a gem, and its TC mode works perfectly. I enjoyed ving floral and fruity flavors with nickel resistance, because this cold vapor ideally restores the taste and aroma for juices that are in clear and spring tones. Too bad the interchangeable resistors clearomizers (which today are very powerful), are a bit expensive, because this function does not apply without the presence of this material. There is only the reconstructible which for the moment can take advantage of the temperature control, for a reasonable cost.
The normal mode is also perfectly functional with a smooth smooth vape.
Also, the manufacturer asks you to use accumulators with a minimum capacity of 25A, I advise you to take a little more performance in 35A.
Unlike a mechanical mod, it is best to remove the battery when you do not use the box for several days, because even off, it continues gently to discharge the battery.
