Reviewer comments on business characteristics
A high-end mod box, made in the USA, of a rather compact size. In a pretty matte black color, it has a chipset from Evolv enjoying an excellent reputation. It will give you a maximum power of 40 watt (quite sufficient), it will accept your ato from 0,16 ohm. V2 makes a few small changes but we'll talk about that later. Note that you will be provided with an LG 18650A 35 battery, and a USB cable. You will need to add 25 euros on average to acquire the induction charger.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Wow! This is probably the reaction you will have when you have the product in hand. It's all good, the assembly is flawless, the rubberized matte black paint is top class, the buttons adjusted perfectly, no rattle noise, in short, a must in the genre. The 193 grams weight is important but ultimately it contributes to the feeling of quality and robustness that the product gives off. You feel as soon as you take it in your hands that it will quickly be hard to release it. A word of advice: don't touch it until you are sure you can afford it, because otherwise you could do a big mistake, an uncontrolled crack. Be careful otherwise the shark will grab you and it won't let go.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
Almost perfect. The gold-plated spring-loaded stud assures you total flushitude and perfect conductivity. The thickness of 25 mm will leave you with great possibilities of marriage with an ato. Easy to live with: charging is done fairly quickly via the USB port. The induction charging tray looks practical, I haven't tested it but in principle it's cool. All the essential functions are there, easily accessible. From a safety point of view it is nickel, the protections are there and the battery pole reversal beeper will wake you up in the morning in the event of slight clumsiness… it will be BEEP!

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
Here we are on the first point, a bit awkward. The box is null. It is a banal plastic box, worthy of an entry-level product. Hello vaporshark you are in the high end! The manual: there is none. Do you have a box that has a coil temperature control function that requires the use of a nickel 200 wire and you don't even have a p *! **? manual to explain it to us. Excuse me, but it drives me crazy to have such a beautiful product treated in this way. Mr boss of Vaporshark, change designer in terms of packaging, he is incapable and if it is you who imagined that, sorry, but I can not silence my revolt. A product of this caliber deserves better than that.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
Simple and pleasant, the buttons react quickly, the vape is just perfect. I didn't want to test it for too long because the more I held it in my hand, the more I told myself I wasn't going to give it back. No it's only happiness. The 40 watt power and its wide range of compatibility with resistors will appeal to many of us (provided of course that we have made enough savings). I will also start by building up a kitty, for donations send them to …… ..lol

The mood ticket of the reviewer
How to tell you. At first, the Vaporshark boxes did not appeal to me at all. Their price, their American doctor pager look even meant that I didn't really understand the people who dropped a fortune in this box. But now, she arrived at my house I remember it was a Tuesday and then I understood. After the disappointment of the packaging which has the flavor of an attack when we bought a product of this price and of this quality we cannot be satisfied with this m… .. of plastic box which in my opinion is an insult to the content.
Come on, once in your hand, its satin matte black rubberized coating will calm you down right away. It's a pleasure, this soft touch coating avoids the cold side of the aluminum / zinc alloy of the box and ensures a perfect grip. The buttons are very nice and well placed, the box has ideal dimensions these two aspects guarantee you perfect ergonomics, as long as you do not have to use the screen which, by the way, has been enlarged. Yes the screen is at the bottom of the box, it's not very practical, either you are flexible with the wrist, or you put your ato upside down. Beside that it is well protected by a small rim which allows the machine to be placed on a flat surface without risk of scratching it.
Your ato will be flush thanks to the gold-plated spring stud. The chipset will give you a smooth and precise vape, a real pleasure. I haven't often had the opportunity to try high end gear, so I often think that the difference with more accessible gear isn't that big. But I have to admit that yes, there is a difference. So no, it's not day and night, but still the perceived quality and the quality of vape are undeniably superior.
So as you can imagine, I like it a lot. But because there is one last but: the guarantee. When I buy a € 189 Pipeline, I tell myself it's expensive tudieu but I normally left for at least two years. When I pay a € 175 box and the warranty only covers 4 months, what am I supposed to think? They don't trust their stuff, the Americans? Rest assured, I do not believe that it will let you go as the perceived quality suggests that the product is reliable but all the same with this amount of investment, we expect a guarantee as high-end as the price positioning of the product .
To conclude, this box is extraordinary, a must, if the means are there and you are looking for a good box, look no further. For others, do like me save ...
