Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Superb! A mini size for maximum capacities!
With its large color liquid crystal screen that looks like a car speedometer, this mini box still provides 60W. It supports Nickel resistors for the use of temperature control in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
The information is very numerous, because it also gives you on its big screen the date and time.
Among the many features, the big screen with all its information, multiple protections, a very complete pack and a menu allowing access to countless features, this box is a small jewel in a mini size for a price that remains perfectly correct.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
We cannot miss the first characteristic, its size. Very compact, it is discreet and the handling is pleasant.
The power supplied is honorable since we can go up to 60 Watts.
It also allows sub-ohm mounting by accepting resistors from 0.1 ohm up to 3 ohms for conventional fixtures and from 0.1 ohm to 1 ohm for nickel fixtures (Ni200). Nickel fixtures are used with temperature control that is graduated in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
For energy, the battery can be recharged via the USB socket provided or by simply lifting the cover which is magnetized to easily remove the battery and change it.
The pin spring connector allows flush mounting with the atomizer.
The frame is made of aluminum and zinc. On the other hand, for both sides, the front is entirely dedicated to the screen with a large well-lit display and the back is provided with a black carbon fiber cover, very easy to handle for the change of the accumulator. On the bottom of the box, we can see the holes for ventilation as well as the connection to plug in the USB socket in order to recharge it
My feeling about the quality is very good with perfect finishes to the edges of the box that are beveled.
The only small flaws, however, are fingerprints and scratches because the SMY60TC is sensitive to them as well as a menu so full of features that it can be confusing at first.

Vapelier's note regarding functional characteristics: 5 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on functional features
The features are many, in addition to the memorization of some parameters and the programming of some locks, so we have a very complete menu.
The screen:
On the top of the screen, the first line gives you 3 indications: the charge of your battery, the number of puffs you made and the value of your resistance in ohm.
The second line indicates the power in Watt (or the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or in degrees Celsius) and next to it, the voltage in Volt with the intensity in Ampere.
Underneath are the time and date.
Then a small counter that gives in seconds the time of support on the switch which is associated with a big dial needle for power.
And towards the bottom of the screen are displayed 4 icons: The first is used to turn off the box, the second allows to lock it, the third allows us to access the parameters and the last gives us the information related to the box (serial number , characteristics, protections).
In the settingswe access:
- In the working mode which allows you to choose, depending on your assembly, the power or temperature modes (choice P = power, choice TC = temperature in degrees Celsius, choice TF = temperature in Fahrenheit)
- Has various settings (Time setting), for the duration of the puff, for normal mode, for temperature control, for the screen saver or for switching off the box.
- Choice of vaping (Vapor mode) by pressing the Switch by pulse to be in manual "M" or continuous automatic "A".
- Setting the date (Date and time).
- The puff counter in number and time (Info puffs).
- To the battery saver, by activating "Y" or by deactivating with "N" the highlighting of the screen during use (Stealth mode)
The protections:
- Against short circuits
- Against battery polarity errors
- Against high temperatures (above 85 ° C)
- Against deep discharges (less than 3 V)
- Against overvoltage at the time of USB charging (greater than 4.2 V)
- Against battery overload
- Against resistances that are too low (under 0.1 ohm)
Either the power varies between 3 and 60 watts, or the temperature varies from 200 ° F to 600 ° F or from 90 ° C to 315 ° C
Operates in sub-ohm with resistors from 0.1 ohm
The pine is floating, spring-loaded.
Recharging via the micro USB adapter or changing the battery
Many features, therefore. We can say that everyone will find his account but all may not be used.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
For packaging, you receive the box in a very solid cardboard box, the foam is dense and protects and perfectly wedges the contents.
There is also a USB adapter for recharging but the length of this cable is really insufficient.
A small card is provided with a stamp for the authenticity of the product.
A manual of several pages is delivered in this packaging, it explains all the functionalities of the box, the precautions of use, the characteristics and many other things still but this notice is only in English.
Also in the box, a cloth to clean your screen.
Be careful, as soon as you receive your Smy 60 TC Mini, a protection film is on each side of the box. I specify this detail because it is so well posed that some forums were surprised at the quality of the screen because they have not seen.
Appreciations in use
- Transport facilities with the test atomizer: Ok for an inside jacket pocket (no deformations)
- Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
- Easy to change the batteries: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
- Did the mod heat up? No
- Has there been any erratic behavior after a day of use? No
- Description of situations in which the product has experienced erratic behavior
Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 5/5
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
ATTENTION: If you use a resistive wire other than Nickel while being on the "temperature control" function, the box will not work (or badly) and it is normal. It is important to know that for the moment, few clearomizers with interchangeable resistors, are equipped with resistors in NI200. Therefore, be careful with the mode you use before use (rest assured, nothing will be damaged), before trying to understand why the box does not work.
For ignition it is necessary to press 5 times on the Switch. For access to settings, 3 Presses on the Switch will give you entry on the bottom of the screen to 4 icons.
The operations on only three buttons are simple. On the other hand, many functions are offered to you but all will not be necessarily necessary for you. The most important thing at the start is to adjust your vape mode:
- On the "P" power if your assembly is done with a wire other than the NI200
- On the temperature control if your resistance is made with a nickel wire.
The visualization of the degrees can be in Celsius "C" or in degrees Fahrenheit "F"
All of the functional features described above work very well and are easy to access, but there are so many of them that it will take time to adapt. Example, for the "Vapor mode", which allows to use the switch by pulse or in continuous operation with a prior setting of the duration. There is also the “Stealth mode” setting for the screen highlight to save battery power.
In use, the box works perfectly. Even at 60 watts, with a Kanthal fixture, nothing was heated. Same as 600 ° F (or 315 ° C) using nickel.
It is imperative to use a 18650 flat top battery (without stud) with a maximum discharge current greater than 30 Amperes. Thus the autonomy is very satisfactory for the whole day. The vape is smooth, it remains constant and I have not encountered any particular concern.
Between the moment when we press the switch and the moment we can vape, there is a small latency of about half a second. This is not huge but can be embarrassing for some.
The spring-loaded pin is perfect for flush mounting (1mm for some atomizers).
The cover to access the battery is a child manipulation. Closed by two magnets, it does not move and is fixed as it should. A smart and easy system.

This is a beautiful little box! The smy 60 TC Mini allows to obtain a vape very pleasant, smooth and constant, that it is in the normal mode or the mode in control of temperature.
Its energy consumption remains correct. With a single accumulator, I spent the day my 8ml at least.
Very few negative points for a maximum of advantages, this is my last purchase, hey yes I fell in love ... 🙁
