Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Vape Forward has made a name for itself in luxury vape thanks to its flask-shaped boxes first equipped with the Evolv DNA30 chipset then the 40 and finally the Yihi SX350j chipset.

These early versions were sold at prices that were also luxurious and often inaccessible without breaking the ELP.

With this observation and especially this shortfall, Vape Forward has partnered with a manufacturer that we no longer present: Wismec.

If today the chipsets are manufactured by Joyetech and the manufacturing entrusted to Wismec, the design is still signed Vape Forward.

The new VaporFlask still want to be as luxurious and well built, but for a very affordable price. Will the promises be kept?

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The first thing that strikes you when you get started is this impression of quality that emerges from the box. Nothing moves, everything is in its place. In its brushed finish (for me the most beautiful), the Lite shows an exemplary brushing job.

The whole body of the box is covered with a very thick transparent polyurethane varnish thus protecting this stainless steel from any trace of finger and other micro scratches. A simple rag is enough to make the shiny metal look.

Ditto for the battery hatch, the latter is mounted on a braked pivot, opening up the space necessary for the insertion of your 18650 battery and ensuring a perfect hold.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

Who says Joyetech chipset, says latest electronic technology.

The Lite therefore embeds a variable power mode, a meca (or bypass) mode and a complete temperature control mode since it is compatible with Ni200, titanium and 316l stainless steel, but also with all the other types of wires available thanks to its adjustable TCR mode. (Temperature Coefficient Resistance)

To top it off, the Lite offers a power of 75W and will shoot your resistors from 0.1Ω in power mode and 0.05Ω in TC mode.

To finish off the owner's trick, the Lite has a sleek, spring-loaded 510 connector that exudes quality.

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

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Simple and complete packaging at the same time.

Simple since for an electronic box there are not many accessories other than the USB cable for recharging and updating the firmware.

Complete because Vape Forward provides an exhaustive user manual and translated into several languages ​​including French.

All enclosed in a black box with very sober decoration.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The Lite is very easy to use. Indeed, 5 clicks to turn on or off the box, 4 to enter the menu navigation.

Other functions are available as a "stealh" mode by simultaneously pressing the shoot button and the [+] button.

For the TCR menu, box off, a long press of 20 seconds on the shoot and the [+] button will make you enter the configuration menu.

It is regrettable however that there is no mechanical lock on the box, you will have to turn it off via the sacrosanct 5 clicks for its transport or storage.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Well, what more can I say than I have already said… I will therefore speak for myself about this VaporFlask Lite.

I have dreamed for a long time about its big sister and its SX350j but its elitist price does not allow me, without sacrifice, to take the plunge. Although a lover of beautiful pieces, there are priorities in life that put you back on the ground.

So when Vape Forward secretly announced its partnership with Wismec to finally offer its boxes at an attractive price, I, like my cat in front of a box of tuna, licked my lips for a few minutes.

And here, finally, the chopper fell and it is not a box, but three that are announced: a 150W double battery, the Classic; a 75W single battery (26650) so sexy, the Stout. Finally, our box of the day, a 75W simple battery 18650, the Lite.

Three small boxes with an exemplary finish, stuffed with new technology, giving everyone the possibility of owning high-end looking equipment, for an almost ridiculous price (almost).

You'll understand, I will not buy one of his three boxes, but all three!

Editor's note: don't follow the deplorable example of our reviewer without first consulting your partner and your banker ...
