Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Teslacigs seems to have done very hard on this Mod Box!
The modern design, the choice of materials, the ergonomics as well as the adjustments seem really well thought and realized on this XT MINI... Only two small details come to taint this pretty picture and it is a pity: the weight of the beast (201g all the same) and an unfortunate lack of adjustment of the battery door.
The rest is a faultless here, the weight is explained by the use of qualitative materials such as the steel of which the case is made, the thread of the connector 510 is very well made, the buttons are pleasant to manipulate and do not suffer from play or unpleasant noise.
The screen is clear and readable, and little more, it is well integrated into the housing which will protect it in case of a fall.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
La XT MINI is equipped with a small proprietary Chipset that offers all the current security necessary for a safe vape, a very comfortable power of 220W but also a nice set of parameters offering just about all the current functions that one can meet on the market.
The menu is quite simple to learn: three presses on the fire button allow you to enter the parameters, the value of the resistance used will then be highlighted and all you have to do is navigate with the "plus" buttons. and “minus” below the screen and validate with the fire button to access the desired setting.
We can lock the power setting by holding the 2 buttons "plus" and "minus" together for two seconds, the main ignition of the Mod will be done by flipping the small switch located between the fire button and the screen indicated by a double arrow, a habit in Teslacigs that we can find on the other Mods of the brand but do not worry for the followers of the "click five times on the fire button" because this function is also available.
From the point of view of the modes, one will thus find a variable power mode supplemented by three predefined pre-heat and a user mode making it possible to create its own curve of power.
The temperature control is, of course, part of the SS316, NI200, TI and TCR modes.
Everything is coupled with a really good battery management overall, customizable LEDs on the side of the Mod Box do not seem to be too energy-intensive.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
So this XT MINI is it as pleasant to watch as it is to use? Well, it's still a yes! Because where this Mod Box stands out, it's particularly in the responsiveness of its fire button !!
No latency to deplore, this little Chipset is a marvel of responsiveness, he responded to each solicitation during testing. The different modes available work particularly well, note, for example, the obvious differences between the different pre-heat, or a temperature control that works quite correctly.
The insertion of the batteries is a breeze thanks to its battery door easy to open and its distinct locations.
Without going to pale the jewels of the segment in terms of autonomy, the XT MINI turned out to be very correct on the management of the batteries and allowed me to last long hours before needing to recharge it. Power point of view, it is properly equipped to operate all types of atomizers, even the most demanding.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
Teslacigs Sign here a neat Box, at an affordable price that I really enjoyed testing and, despite the small flaw of adjusting the battery door and its weight all the same, it is with great pleasure that I awards a Top Mod at this XT MINI who was able to convince me as well on its physical characteristics as functional.
