Reviewer comments on business characteristics
The Vaporflask Lite is a small box that includes an accumulator allowing the power to be increased up to 75W, but be careful to only use batteries with a CDM (Maximum Discharge Capacity) of at least 25A. With its original bean shape, it is one of the three Vaporflask (Classic, Lite, Stout) from Vape Forward built by Wismec, each with its own design, its own type of battery and reaching different powers.
This Lite can operate in three distinct modes: power mode, temperature control mode or Bypass mode (unregulated). It comes with a micro USB cable for charging or updating your chipset.
Like these sisters, it is easy to use and accepts Kanthal, Nickel, Titanium and Stainless steel wires with the possibility to adjust the maximum temperature coefficient of the resistance you choose.
With a sober, compact and ergonomic look, the Lite also combines quality, power and reliability in a correct price range.
This Lite is available in two different colors: Black or Silver.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
On the VaporFlask Lite, the body is brushed aluminum (for my test model), so fingerprints are not very visible. Molded in one block, it is totally smooth. The insertion of the battery is done by tilting the hatch which is located on the bottom of the box, so no tool is necessary. The system is practical and the maintenance is firm.
The 510 connection is made of stainless steel which gives it an extended lifespan thanks to the hardness of the material. On this connection, there is a large slot which allows, on the one hand, to evacuate the liquid so that it does not stagnate in the pine, on the other hand to use clearomizers having airflow under their base. On the top-cap is engraved a hexagon in which the initials VF are noted for VaporFlask. The pin, meanwhile, is mounted on a spring allowing flush assemblies whatever the atomizer.
On the pivoting hatch (under the box), we see a circle that looks like a kind of barrel with nine holes, it is placed just under the battery allowing the evacuation of gases generated by a battery in chemical imbalance which overheats . There are also inscriptions citing the designer, the manufacturer and of course, the name of the box in larger size.
The screen is of the same ilk as that of the other Vaporflask, placed between the settings buttons and the switch. On this OLED display we find the following constant information: battery charge, resistance value, voltage and power. A display which remains a bit small, but which suits the format of the VF Lite. On the bottom, following the buttons which are in aluminum, there is the location of the micro USB cable for recharging your battery or updating your firmware, its lateral position allows the box to remain upright during these operations.
Its shape is quite original since it is curved in the shape of a flange (or bean compared to its size). The thickness is only 22mm but the curvature of 1.5mm imposes a total size of 23.5mm for a width of 42mm.
A pretty box with perfect finishes, whose look should seduce.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
For the functional characteristics, the Lite offers you a fairly large panel of these possibilities with an upgradable firmware, to adapt the calculations to your resistives.
- 1 18650 size battery (not supplied).
- An output power of 1 to 75 W with a discharge current that requires more than 25 Amps at full power, so be careful to take a battery with the required characteristics (High Drain).
- Two working modes: power or temperature.
- Accessibility to the Bypass for vaping as on a mechanical mod (with the safety devices for the resistance range supported: 0,1 to 3,5 Ω).
- The wires that can be used are: Nickel, Titanium or Stainless steel 316 for the temperature mode.
- The resistance range is 0.1Ω to 3.5Ω for power and unregulated mode (Bypass).
- The resistance range is 0.05Ω to 1Ω for temperature mode.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
It is again a faultless for Vape Forward which really applies, to give not only, a nice protection to its product, but also a maximum of information on its operation. Since in this black rigid cardboard packaging, there are two floors with above, the box perfectly wedged in its foam and below, the micro USB cable with a product warranty and instructions for use in 5 languages (English, French, German, Spanish and Chinese). In addition, I appreciated the correct translation which is really understandable by the users.
Surprise to see that with this product, the consumer and finally sufficiently considered to bring him a comfort of presentation and especially of understanding on the product which he buys, even if this one is not especially very expensive.
A perfect packaging which does honor to the manufacturer of this product AND to its users.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
This box is for me without a doubt one of the best and most successful on the market with the Presa 75W.
Let's start with the defects, I should have written this singular since I find only one, it is the size of the screen.
Yes I know, I pinch a little. But I remain on my hunger with this display a little outdated and small. Although all information is given and sufficiently visible, I would have preferred something wider for visual comfort (hey yes we are getting older!). Rest assured, it's just to find a fault.
Beyond the display, the handling is perfect. With its curved shape, it fits very well in the palm, its small size and its correct weight, are perfect for all types of hands, small or large. We can vape in all directions and it is for right-handed, as left-handed, everyone finds his account.
The buttons are stable and react immediately, the settings are precise and easy to use with a perfectly adapted approach. In addition, the instructions perfectly explain the operating mode of the functional characteristics mentioned above.
The insertion of the accumulator, is easily done without screwdriver by pushing the flap which pivots on an axis. Its maintenance is rather firm and its opening practical.
The micro USB connection port is located on the bottom side of the box, this will allow you to leave the Lite upright while recharging.
For the association with an atomizer, know that the set up will be elegant only with diameters of 22mm (or less), but will be perfectly flush thanks to the floating pin mounted on spring.
When to vape, its chipset regulates at 75W effective and easily delivers the requested powers, weak or strong, for a vape in complete safety and with optimal regularity.
There is only one thing to say, BRAVO!

The mood ticket of the reviewer
The Vaporflask Lite is a real success in terms of mod electro "medium".
For a budget of 70 Euros, it has one of the best chipsets in its class, regulation, which comfortably provides 75 Watts and a regular vape almost perfect.
The adjustment approach is also easy. Using the three buttons you access various settings to obtain the necessary functions with ease, the manual in French clearly details the operations to be performed.
As for the quality, it is irreproachable. In brushed aluminum, fingerprints are almost invisible, the look is elegant and the metal structure is in one piece. So you don't have any visible screws. Its bean shape is ideal for grip, whether you are right-handed or left-handed.
A jewel in top mod that deserves this distinction.
