Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Very nice box well assembled, a pity however that we do not have a trap door locking system more practical in use.
Even if Smok advises to dedicate an accumulator for the box and to recharge only by USB, it is common to have to change a battery simply because we forgot to recharge.
Another point on which they could have made an effort: the protection of electronics.
Nothing protects the latter from improper handling by inserting a battery. Of course, the sliders cut in the mass are there to “guide” the battery and keep it in the right position, but an accident very quickly happens.
For the rest it's all good, the assemblies are of very good quality, the box is really light and very small.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
box very easy to use, the menu contains only 2 functions.
3 clicks on the fire button allow you to enter the menus.
The 1 function that will allow you to switch from variable wattage mode to meca mode and the 2 function that will be used to stop the box completely.
5 clicks on the fire will lock the box and ... 5 more will unlock it.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
What a surprise that this little gem, at first doubtful (still a mini box) and then excited (huh? 65w in there?)
Smok has succeeded in making the other mini boxes on the market become obsolete equipment.
Indeed in this very contained volume we find a chipset able to manage very low resistances (0.2ohm) and to send 65w (after upgrade but the last batch is already up to date)
Only function that I find personally useless: the mod meca.
As much as the latter takes all its meaning on an electro which does not manage the low resistances but when one is able to shoot 0.2ohm, the function loses for me all its interest.
Anyway this little box works wonderfully and does the job without complaint.
Although there are still perfectible details (the replacement of the batteries, and the protection of the electronics), it is a great success from Smok
Another big thank you to Vap Experience for the loan of this bombinette !!
See you soon.
