Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The Vaporflask Classic is part of one of the three Vaporflask models (Classic, Lite, Stout) from Wismec. This electronic box in “classic” version, has a particular shape which takes as a model that of a flange.

Equipped with 2 accumulators, its power can reach 150W and allows you to vape in two different modes, on powers (with a minimum resistance of 0.1Ω) or on temperatures (with a minimum resistance of 0.05Ω).

This box is provided with a micro USB cable for an update of its chipset, if necessary, or a recharging of the accumulators.

Although the design is attractive, it is a significant weight but its rounded curve in the palm of the hand quickly makes you forget this detail. The beautiful has something to attract with a reliable chipset pushing the watts as much as it is easy to use, it has also been able to keep a correct size.

It comes in three different colors: black, steel or white.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Although the thickness of the box is only 22mm, the template including the curvature of 5mm gives you a total thickness of 27mm for a width of 60mm. The weight is 213g empty and 302 grams (mini) with the 2 batteries. The body is in matt black anodized aluminum (for my test product) and contrasts with the brushed aluminum buttons. This coating is particularly soft to the touch but significantly marks all fingerprints.

On the top cap, the connection is stainless steel with a spring-loaded pin. On this top, we also distinguish a discrete engraving noted VF for VaporFlask.

On the entire curved outer face is the cover fixed by 4 magnets for inserting the batteries. Under the box, a slight slot allows you to insert a fingernail to lift it. The polarity of the batteries being indicated inside, the location is simple.

Below, at each end, at the level of the batteries we notice 2 series of 4 holes for the possible degassing of the batteries. In the middle, we find some discreet inscriptions with roughly the name of the box.

The screen with the buttons and the micro USB connector are placed on the cutting edge of the VaporFlask opposite the 510 connection, which makes its use convenient. This OLED screen is curved and remains classic with just the useful information constantly: battery charge, resistance value, voltage and power.

The buttons are round with a conical surface for a better feeling to the touch. They are perfectly integrated and react well without any hesitation. On the bottom we have the micro USB connector to connect the cable, to perform a chipset update or reloading.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The functional characteristics are quite simple and common compared to the different models of box equipped with chipset much more elaborate in functionality, but the most important is there, with:

- 2 18650 format batteries.
- An output power of 1 to 150 W with a discharge current that requires more than 25 Amps, so be careful to take the same two batteries with the required characteristics. - two working modes in power or temperature.
- The wires that can be used are Nickel, Titanium or 316 stainless steel for the temperature mode.
- The resistance range is 0.1Ω to 3.5Ω for power mode.
- The resistance range is 0.05Ω to 1Ω for temperature mode.
- Adjustment lock function.
- Economy mode with the screen turning off during vaping.
- Resistance locking function to keep in memory the same initial resistance value at room temperature in temperature mode.
- Choice of display in ° C or ° F with a range of 100 to 315 ° C or 200 to 600 ° F.
- Possibility to rotate the display to the right or to the left.
- In temperature control, the wires accepted are: Nickel, Titanium or Stainless steel 316.
- Possibility of recharging the box via the micro USB cable.
- Chipset update via USB cable.

The securities are also present with:

- Detection of the presence of the atomizer.
- The box mates safely when the resistance is not within the accepted value range.
- Protection against short circuits.
- Temperature alert when the internal circuit of the device exceeds 70 ° C “Device too hot”.
- Temperature protection in CT mode when the resistance heats above the given value.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Finally here is a packaging as I like!

With this VaporFlask Classic, nothing is missing. You receive it in a large rigid cardboard box, in which your box will be wedged in a black foam. In this box, a second floor, conceals a warranty with a user manual and a micro USB cable for reloading or updating the chipset.

I particularly appreciated the presence of the instructions for use provided in many languages ​​and the effort to have a correct translation. Thus, all information is given to us and in French.

Perfect packaging that honors this product.

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

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

In use this VaporFlask Classic has a wonderful handling. Comfortably installed in the palm, it makes us quickly forget its weight. The support on the switch is instinctive and the button is sufficiently salient to make the handling pleasant.

The information on the screen looks a bit small and the curvature reduces the brightness a bit. Even if everything is clearly visible, there was enough room for a larger OLED screen, it might have been more appreciable.

For the insertion of the batteries, the hood is well designed, it is correctly maintained with 4 magnets and no game hinders the fixation. The polarity of the batteries is clearly indicated so that no error is made.

Regarding the settings, it is unnecessary for me to describe the operating mode since it is given in the manual and in French, however for those who are interested, know that it is relatively simple and that the approach of each step is judiciously chosen.

It is very important that you choose the same two batteries dedicated to this box, each having a CDM of at least 25 A.

The module allows to restore a good regulated vape and thanks to dual batteries, both in V / W mode and temperature control, you will not only have great power but also a perfect autonomy.

The connection of the micro USB charging module is located on the bottom side of the box, this will allow you to leave the VaporFlask upright during recharging.

The small fault that I could make with this product, it is not to have been designed with a millimeter more to be able to accept atomizers of 23mm in diameter.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

A box has almost 100 euros which is a little more expensive compared to some boxes on the market which offer the same possibilities (or even some others). But its sober and ergonomic appearance with a “velvet” coating, make it a classy object.

In addition, this Bean shape is really the ideal to make us forget the weight of this VaporFlask Classic. Ergonomics that provide excellent support in the palm of the hand, with manipulation on the switch which is just obvious.

With these two batteries and its proprietary chipset, it has a consistent autonomy and a vape regulated very pleasant. Moreover, its use is easy to exploit.

I regret the display of the screen which remains a little tight, and the size of the thickness of the box which does not allow to place an atomizer of more than 22 mm in diameter without it being out of ground.
