/0 Comments/in /by

Do you know which vape mod is right for you?

Over nine million adults in the U.S. now vape on a regular basis. If you’re one of them – or thinking of becoming one of them – you might have run across information about vape mods. But if you’ve never tried one before, the world of mods can be a little confusing.

We’re here to clear things up. In this guide, we’ll give you everything you need to know about choosing the best vape mod for you. Keep reading to upgrade your vape experience!

What is a Vape Mod?

The word “mod” stands for, you guessed it, modify. This term got its start when vapers started to build and modify their e-cigs on their own.

Since manufacturers wanted to capitalize on this trend, storebought mods soon followed. Mods add to the power and capabilities of your e-cig. Today, there’s a huge variety of mods to choose from.

When to Try a Vape Mod

Vape mods are ideal for the vape beginner who’s already gotten started, and is looking for something new.

Let’s say you’ve been vaping for a few months. You use a simple e-cigarette, and you’ve become a master at adjusting the airflow, filling the tanks, and changing the wattage. However, you might not yet have played around with advanced features such as temperature control.

You start to feel like it’s time for a fancier, more powerful device. You might also be thinking about appearance – what if you had a nicer-looking vape?

However, when you start to research mods, you find an astounding number of options to choose from. There are so many manufacturers constantly releasing new products to compete with each other.

What you need is a guide that breaks down the features and benefits of each different type of mod. Otherwise, you could waste hours in e-cig forums without ever getting clear answers.

Feel like you’re ready for a mod? Here are a few things to consider.

Reasons to Try a Vape Mod

There are quite a few positive qualities to using vape mods.

First of all, they look nice. The shape and size can be quite different than that of a traditional e-cig.

They also offer a higher range of power, and you can produce more vapor with some mods. These advanced features offer more control over exactly what your mod can do. For example, you might be able to change the speed of the coil heating up with some mods.

Another top reason to try a mod is to enjoy the longer battery life. These larger battery capacities can go longer without being charged.

Reasons Not to Try a Vape Mod

In spite of the countless people who love their vape mods, there are still a few who will prefer life without mods. What are some of the ways to tell a mod isn’t for you?

If you don’t care about having lots of power, you might not need a mod. And if you don’t want any advanced features, a traditional e-cig may be more your style. E-cigs are simple to use, which is why they’re ideal for beginners. They also are smaller and lighter than most mods.

Types of Vape Mods

Now that you know whether mod life is for you, here are a few of the different features you might consider when you make your choice.

1. Variable Wattage/Power Range

The majority of mods on the market are variable wattage (VW) mods. These let you adjust how much wattage makes it to your atomizer.

One of the simplest considerations when you’re choosing a mod is the power setting range. For the most part, a wider range is ideal. But most vapers don’t need a terribly high power.

Think about how much power you’ll probably use, rather than going for the highest power on the market. If low-wattage devices aren’t working for you, or if you want bigger clouds of vapor, you’ll want higher power. However, for the average vaper, 80 watts is plenty of power.

2. Temperature Control

With temperature control vaping, you can set a particular temperature for your vaping, instead of a particular wattage.

This can make your e-liquids taste better, and helps get rid of “dry puffs” with charred, unpleasant liquid.

Mods can offer a range of temperatures to choose from. However, for temperature control, you’ll need to vape with titanium, nickel, or stainless steel coils.

3. Wattage and Temperature Control

Most temperature control (TC) mods keep your mod going at a particular wattage when you start vaping.

In fact, the wattage is fixed on some e-cig devices. Many mods stay at the maximum wattage possible no matter how you set the temperature. But a fancier TC mod will also let you change the starting, or “ramp up,” wattage.

If you increase the wattage, you’ll get a harder hit. When you decrease it, the hit becomes softer. Many modern TC mods offer this option – but not all, so you should always check before you buy.

4. Output Mod

Often, mods don’t have that many output options besides the wattage, TC, and the occasional “bypass” option. However, a few mods do offer other options that allow you to choose strength.

You can simplify adjusting your mod with this option, which lets you choose a “hard” or “soft” hit. The “norm” setting is usually ideal for most vapers, but if you want more control, you’ll enjoy having the other options.

Ready to Choose a Vape Mod?

The vape mod world is constantly changing, and new features are being added all the time. However, with this guide to the basics, you’re ready to get out there and get started with your first vape mod.

As time goes by, you’ll probably build up a collection of vape mods, depending on what you like best. Check out our mod reviews here to get started.

A Beginner’s Guide to Doing Awesome Vape Tricks

/0 Comments/in /by

Over 9 million adults regularly vape. But it’s not just the act of vaping that’s becoming hot, it’s the general vape culture as well.

There are online chat rooms dedicated to discussing the best vape products, vape flavors, whether Juuling counts as vaping, entire twitter accounts dedicated to vape memes, and more.

One subset of the culture that many people want to get into, but aren’t sure how, is vape tricks. Anyone can vape, but not everyone can blow Os and create tornados with their mouth (get your head out of the gutter, here).

If you’re a beginner vaper, or at least a beginner vape trickster, it’s confusing on how to get on that train. The good news is that we’ve compiled this easy to follow guide on how to start doing smoke tricks. You’ll move from beginner to expert in no time.

The Dragon

For a beginner’s guide, it makes sense to start off with some of the easiest tricks out there.

But just because this is one of the easiest vape tricks doesn’t mean it isn’t also one of the coolest ones. The dragon will make you look like, well, a dragon. Smoke billows out both your nose and the corners of your mouth, which will give the illusion that you’re a vape master.

What people don’t need to know is how easy this trick is. Begin by taking a deep, long drag from your vape or e-cig of choice. Then, all you have to do is exhale out of both your nose and your mouth.

The key here is to keep the middle of your lips clasped shut so the vapor can only escape out of the corners.

And that’s the whole trick! Get ready to look and feel like the coolest vaper at the party (which, let’s face it, isn’t too difficult at times).

The Waterfall

This is another trick that looks expert-level but is actually perfect for beginners. You’ll need a prop for this trick: a bottle or glass with a bit of frozen water at the bottom.

All you have to do is take a nice drag from your favorite vape or e-cig and gently exhale it into the bottle or glass you prepared. The frozen water at the bottom will essentially make the vapor a little bit heavier than usual, which will allow you to pour it out of the glass like a waterfall as though it’s a potion and you’re a medieval medicine man.

Vapor Bubble

Here’s another one that requires a prop: you’ll need a bubble wand and some soapy water. Take a drag from your vape, and blow it out while simultaneously blowing a bubble.

The vapor will be transported inside the bubble which will create, well, a vapor bubble if you can believe it. When the bubble pops, a mist of vapor will be released, and you’ll feel like the coolest vaper on the planet.

Smoke Rings

Now we’re getting into the good stuff. Any smoker will tell you that blowing Os, aka smoke rings, is one of the coolest tricks you can do. They’ll make you seem like an expert smoker, even though they’re somewhat easy to master.

Unlike the tricks we’ve gone over so far, smoke rings will take practice to get right. As with most tricks, start by taking a nice long drag. Instead of immediately exhaling, you’ll want to try and keep the vapor in your throat.

Next, purse your lips into an “O” shape. You’ll feel like an idiot, but this is the key to the trick. The “O” has to be exaggerated and tight, so don’t hold back.

To make the smoke ring, you then push the vapor up from your throat and out the “O” of your lips in one quick burst. Chances are your first attempts will just create puffs instead of Os.

Don’t give up, though, as this trick is not only cool, but it’s also a necessary step to learning more complicated tricks later.

The Tornado

Let’s take a step back from the slightly more difficult Os to a trick on the level of the dragon. The tornado trick will let you create little cyclones to give the illusion that you’re a vape wizard.

Take your drag and gently exhale it onto a flat surface like a table or a desk. This will create a small pool of vapor. To make this into a tornado, you want to quickly cup your hand and flick it upward over the pool of vapor.

This movement will spiral the vapor into a spiral that looks a lot like a tornado. It can take some practice to get the wrist movement right, but for a vape trick, it’s pretty simple.

Ghost Inhale

You’ve definitely seen this trick done before: someone pushes the vapor out of their mouth for a split second before inhaling it back in.

The details of this trick don’t go much deeper than that, either. You take your drag, push it out of your mouth, and then quickly inhale it back in through your mouth.

You can make this trick a little fancier by doing what’s called a french inhale, which is a variation of the ghost inhale. Instead of inhaling the vapor back in with your mouth, you let the vapor flow out of your mouth as you inhale it up through your nostrils.

Start Practicing These Awesome Vape Tricks to Go From Beginner to Expert

All tricksters have to start somewhere. These beginner tricks will get you on the track to becoming an expert in vape tricks in no time.

There’s no reason why beginners can do awesome tricks, either, as evidenced by these sick tricks you can learn with little to no experience doing tricks.

Something else you need to think about when learning tricks is having the best equipment at your disposable. Check out our starter kits and reviews of vape products so you know you’ve got the best stuff to do the best tricks.

The Gamucci E-Cigarette Review

/0 Comments/in /by

I smoked for roughly fifteen years before I decided that I wanted to quit to try to better my health. Quitting smoking cold turkey felt nearly impossible to do, however, so I wanted to see if vaping was right for me.

Many of the vapors that I saw seemed to be a bit more complicated than I wanted them to be and a lot costlier too. After searching around, I decided to try the Gamucci E-Cigarette because it was affordable and easy to use.

The Pros and Cons of the Gamucci E-Cigarette’s Look

The exterior of the Gamucci e-cigarette is designed to look very similar to a normal cigarette. I did find that it felt a bit longer than a regular one. When vaping with the Gamucci, the end has an LED light on it that lights up. It would look more authentic if the light had a red color to it when it was lit, but mine has a green color which makes it look odd when I use it.

The Gamucci Is Simple to Use

I love the fact that this e-cigarette was so easy to use. Some of the vape starter kits I saw available for purchase seemed to have tons of parts and made me nervous that I would do something wrong and break it before I even got to use it.

The Gamucci ended up being great because I didn’t have to worry about filling it with vape juice or worry about charging it. All I had to do was open the packaging, remove the protective stickers over the holes that the vape comes out of, and use it. The battery lasted a little more than a day and a half, so I was able to get plenty of use out of it before the battery died.

Using the Gamucci Was Different Than I Expected

When I first bought the e-cigarette, I didn’t know what to expect. I had heard different things and was worried that the vape was going to be too harsh or not harsh enough to make it feel authentic. I was pleasantly surprised with the vapor that came out of the Gamucci; it wasn’t too harsh and had a great tobacco flavor. I did have to pull quite a bit when inhaling though, and the packaging claims that you can get up to 400 inhalations from the e-cigarette, but I feel like you really only get about 250 to 300 good strong puffs from it.

The Gamucci Is a Good Overall Investment

I liked the fact that the Gamucci was so inexpensive because I was able to take it with me into clubs and not worry about damaging it or losing it; the affordable price and compact size of the e-cigarette made it great for use on the go. I did feel a little embarrassed when using it at first because it was obvious it wasn’t a real cigarette, but once I saw a few people vaping the insecurity disappeared.

I found this to be a great way to introduce myself to vaping without having to invest in an expensive vape starter kit. I was able to dramatically cut back on the number of cigarettes that I smoked on a daily basis and did eventually quit smoking altogether. Overall, it was a great investment that I made to recommend to everyone.

 

DigiFlavor x The Vapor Chronicles Drop 24mm RDA

/0 Comments/in /by

As much as I hate to admit it: I love this RDA more than any non-rebuild vape tank I’ve ever purchased. It has a great amount of airflow; the flavor is wonderful and it’s not harsh on your throat like some other RDA’s I’ve used in the past.  

I think the airflow is so profound because it’s a four-post build deck, which you don’t find a lot; it also has horizontal multi-air slots in T-Shape design, which is super badass. Usually, you just have a few holes around the RDA, but The Vapor Chronicles outdid themselves with the creativity of the “T” design.  

DigiFlavor “T” Design Creates Perfect Airflow

I’m not 100% positive it’s the “T” design in the DigiFlavor that makes the airflow so awesome, but I like to think it is. Another plus of the airflow created by the “T” is the clouds—I can’t begin to explain how fantastic these clouds are! 

I guess I’d just say if there were ever a vape competition and they were trying to find the best cloud-making RDA, I would volunteer myself to show off the DigiFlavor x The Vapor Chronicles Drop 24mm RDA—the clouds are that amazing!  

In the past, I’ve tried some of my friends RDA’s and when the RDA’s produced big clouds, the vape juice flavor was almost nonexistent.  

Yummy Tasting Vape Juice  

This is another reason I love the Drop 24mm RDA—the flavor of the juice is spot on, it’s like nothing I’ve ever tried before. I haven’t used a ton of RDA’s, but I have used many regular old vape tanks and the difference in flavor is shocking. Usually, if I were to vape on a juice longer than two weeks, I wouldn’t be able to taste it anymore. However, this is not the case with the Drop.  

I can be vaping on, Dino Bites, my favorite juice (it’s a combination of captain crunch, fruity pebbles, some sort of milk and just basically deliciousness) with the Drop RDA, and I don’t have to switch my juice for a week to be able to taste the deliciousness of Dino Bites. I can just keep vaping it without it losing flavor! Because the DigiFlavor x The Vapor Chronicles Drop doesn’t lose flavor, I don’t know if I’ll be purchasing any other RDA anytime soon!  

 

Harsh Throat No More!

I’ve already described how perfect the Drop is, but I have to add how it doesn’t hurt your throat. I don’t know if you have ever switched tanks/RDAs and you’ve almost gotten sick because the airflow was too strong?  

If you don’t know what I’m talking about just know that if you want to prevent the feeling of sickness, get the DigiFlavor x The Vapor Chronicles Drop.  

It sucks when you’re super stoked to try out a new RDA/Vape Tank, and then a few days in: you feel sick to the point you don’t even want to vape. I’m no doctor or vape expert but this hasn’t just happened to me. I’ve had three or four friends if I remember correctly who have had the same experience! It’s insane but as I said, if you want to prevent it, go with the Drop. 

 

5 Stars, 2 Thumbs-Up 

The only bad experience I’ve had with the DigiFlavor x The Vapor Chronicles Drop 24mm RDA is that I had to wait a few days for it in the mail. I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to try an RDA.  

I’m not going to lie: learning how to rebuild the coil was pretty challenging, but it was worth it because the positives heavily outweigh this little negative.  

Don’t look any further: the perfect RDA is here!  

Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 Dual 230W Starter Kit

/0 Comments/in /by

I give it two thumbs up and 5 stars

I started smoking cigarettes when I was very young. I wanted to fit in with the cool kids but as the years went by, I was trying medicine, hypnosis, different diets, and more to try and quit smoking cigarettes.  

Nothing seemed to work which was super crappy and I thought I was just going to be a smoker for life, until recently. I haven’t had a cigarette in a few months thanks to the Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 Dual 230W Starter Kit. It has seriously saved my life because nothing else helped me stop smoking.  

After about a week of vaping on the Reuleaux, I was able to put the smokes down for good. It’s insane to me that I smoked for as long as I did, and I wish I would have started vaping earlier, but I’m just stoked I started in the first place.  

I was the type of person to always make fun of vapers; I didn’t understand why you would just want to tease yourself with a little bit of nicotine when you could just have a full cigarette. However, I understand now that vaping is just all around better and get why others haven’t gone back to smoking. 

My first day of vaping was great, aside than the fact I coughed after my first few hits. I guess the Wismec Reuleaux RX is just a bit powerful for beginners, but I ended up getting used to it. The guy at the vape shop did warn me on how powerful the airflow was on this box mod was pretty powerful, but I was stubborn and thought I would be able to handle it.  

Wismec Reuleaux Produces Great Flavor  

That guy at the shop ended up laughing at me after I took my first hit because I coughed so hard. Despite the coughing, the flavor of my vape juice tastes exactly like blueberry pancakes—it’s insane and I loved it.  

I used a friend’s vape pen a few years back and he told me it was vanilla ice cream, but I honestly couldn’t tell what the flavor was or if it was supposed to taste like anything, so I was shocked I could actually taste the pancakes when I hit my Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3.  

Turn It Up To 80 Watts Please 

 I’ve gotten pretty used to vaping now and I love how I can adjust the wattage on this mod because after a while I was craving a bigger cloud.  

 I started at only 40 watts and have now moved up to 80. Some days I go a little higher, while other days I go a bit lower, but the power is perfect on 80 even though the Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 goes all the way up to 230 watts! I don’t know who could vape that high but the idea of vaping at 230 watts is pretty cool to me.  

 There is really nothing bad I can say about this mod. It’s a great set up although I would recommend something less intense for first time vapers like myself.  

 Highly Recommended the Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 Dual 230W Starter Kit 

 It holds battery life and it fits perfectly in your hand. It isn’t too heavy which I like because now that I have other friends who vape I have held a few pretty heavy mods which makes me even more grateful to own the Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 Dual 230W Starter Kit.  

 

SMOK Alien 220W TC and TFV8 Baby Beast Full Kit

/0 Comments/in /by

I was very hesitant on buying the SMOK Alien and TFV8 starter kit because the box mod is super high tech and I’m not good with technology, at all. I’ve always had unregulated mods because I thought dealing with power adjustments would be difficult, but after a few days of using my SMOK Alien and TFV8 I have to admit, I won’t be running back to buy another unregulated mod any time soon. 

I’m really happy I have made the switch from unregulated to regulated because I can choose the wattage I want to vape on, which is super nice! I was craving a bit of a bigger cloud and I wasn’t able to achieve that with my unregulated mod. I can now also look at my SMOK Alien and tell when it is time to change my batteries because the battery life appears on the screen.  

SMOK Alien 220-Watt Battery Life  

I really enjoy that I can tell when it’s time to change my batteries because I’m a super busy person and tend to forget to change them. I’ve left the house multiple times in the past and have been without a vape because I forgot to change my batteries. However, things have changed and I’m a bit higher tech in the vaping industry now and I haven’t had low batteries since I made the switch to SMOK.  

May I also add that the battery life has lasted a lot longer with the SMOK than it has in any other mod I have purchased. Which once again, I love because I’m always on the go. Since I’m always moving from place to place, my mod always gets put in my pocket. 

About a week or two before I bought the Alien, I was at the mall with my daughter in build-a-bear and I started to smell something burning. I didn’t think anything of it until I felt burning on my leg and looked down and saw my pocket had a hole in it.  

I reached in my pocket, burnt my hand and noticed my Craving Vapor HexOhm was going off in my pocket since the parking lot.  

My mod ended up getting so hot, it melted and ruined my vape tank. I was super upset because I really enjoyed the set up I had but knew it was time for a change because it could have really hurt me, or worse, my daughter.  

After the incident of my mod trying to burn me alive, I started doing research and that’s when I chose the SMOK. I couldn’t be happier with the way the mod works and the TFV8 Beast Baby tank is amazing!  

TFV8 Beast Baby Vape Tank 

 SMOK totally knew what they were doing when they paired the SMOK Alien and TFV8 Beast Baby together. It is a dynamic duo and they really complement each other. 

 Each hit I take is full of flavor, no matter how long I’ve been vaping on the same vape juice for. If I’m craving some fruity pebbles, there is no need for the calories. I’ll just take a few drags of my vape and the craving will leave. 

 The products work fantastic and it comes with two coils, extra parts, and replacement glass- which I have already used because I’m clumsy.  

 I love the strength of the tank; the airflow is perfect and produces just the right amount of smoke. There is nothing bad I can say about this starter kit.  

 I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. SMOK did a great job and have changed my outlook on regulated box mods.  

SMOK TFV12 Prince Sub-Ohm Tank

/0 Comments/in /by

I absolutely love the TFV12 Prince Sub-Ohm Tank. It’s been one of my best purchases since I began vaping. It gives me the utmost respect for SMOK for creating such a great device. 

I haven’t had any problem other than a bit of vape juice leakage. The leakage was due to my coil not being screwed in properly though, so it was a defect on my part. However, now that we’re on the topic of vape juice, let me tell you how fantastic the flavoring is out of the TFV12 Prince. 

 Vape Juice Flavor is on Point

Ughh. The flavoring this tank will give you is something out of a dream—it’s like I’m really eating banana pudding without the calories! Every flavor I’ve tried out of the SMOK TFV12 hasn’t let me down. However, I do recommend you let the new coil sit in juice overnight.  

I’ve primed a coil for this tank like I have with other tanks in the past and you have to wait a really long time to take a hit. If you take a rip off your box mod to soon, you’ll get a burnt flavor that won’t go away unless you change the coil. 

If you’re like me and constantly have to have your vape ready I highly recommend letting the new coil sit in juice for a few hours before you make the switch.  

What I do is get a cup and prime the coil with the vape juice over the cup. The excess juice will fall into the cup and then I place the coil in the cup overnight.  

When I wake up in the morning I’ll clean my tank and put my new primed coil in and use the juice it’s been sitting in to fill the tank, so it’s a win-win situation. Your coil will be perfectly primed, and you won’t waste any juice!  

Before you try out the coil, I would do a few dry hits on your tank first. So, suck in like you’re hitting it but without hitting the button on your mod. This will make it so your juice gets all the cotton and will ensure a perfectly primed coil!  

I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it’s totally worth it. The coil is just big and requires a lot of priming for optimum clouds!  

Dragon Like Clouds for The Win

So, I’m a total cloud chaser. I don’t like showing off my big clouds in front of people because I find it kind of silly, but a big cloud means a good hit! 

I totally need to feel the smoke in my lungs. Now that I ‘ve typed that, is sounds pretty unhealthy but I guess it’s better than going back to cigarettes.  

Anyway, since I was a cigarette smoker for so long, I still need a good burn in the lungs to be satisfied. There is no problem achieving the burn with the TFV12. When I get a good burn, I get a big cloud which makes me happy!  

 TFV12 Will Not Let You Down

The SMOK TFV12 Prince Sub-Ohm Tank is perfect. I love the taste of the juice and big clouds it produces. It also looks great on my mod which is a huge plus!  

I recommend this sub-ohm tank to all vapers, new and old. As long as you prime to coil well, you won’t be let down!  

The Rokin Cyclone Dab Pen

/0 Comments/in /by

I needed a dab pen that I could take on the road with me when I traveled and found the Rokin Cyclone. This vape starter kit was affordably priced at less than $100 and came with everything I needed to start dabbing right away.  

 The Cyclone Is Designed for Long-Term Use 

The Cyclone features an all metal construction and the leak resistant atomizers make it great for travel and durability. The pen is available in multiple colors including matte black, rose gold, and gunmetal.  

I found that the battery life, although rechargeable, is not as long as with some other pens I’ve tried, it did work well for my needs. It can be charged with a USB charger so that I could easily charge it when I was in my hotel room or traveling in a car, so it’s not all too bad and is very convenient. 

Designed for Discreet Use 

The small design of the Cyclone allows it to almost completely fit into your hand for discreet use. The dab pen has a single light on the R button, to ensure that you’re not attracting attention to yourself when using it. Also, the smell of the vapors dissipates very quickly so that you can use it anywhere that you want, very discreetly.  

The Cyclone is Designed for Easy Use

The Cyclone is a great dab pen for starters; it’s easy to fill and use and has a waterless vapor cooling feature so that there is not hard work that has to be done to get a great experience.  

The pen has four different voltage settings so that you can make the pen as harsh or mild as you want it to be. I found that the vapor can be harsh on the higher voltage settings though. I try to stick to the mid-range settings to ensure that my throat doesn’t hurt after vaping.  

The vape pen also has a ten-second auto shut off function to ensure that the pen cannot go off accidentally. This is great for times when I throw the pen into my bag and forget to turn it off.  

 Enjoyable to Use 

I’ve found that the Cyclone is very enjoyable to use—it provides rich flavor and smooth hits if it’s used on a low to midrange setting. The pen produces optimal amounts of vapors thanks to the four chambers located at the top of the chamber and the ceramic mouthpieces feel good in the mouth.  

It recharges quickly but does start to create weaker amounts of vapor as the battery dies. It has a very basic design which makes it easy to maintain and all of the parts that you would need to make it work as well as possible for as long as possible are easy to find and affordable to purchase.  

Overall, I feel that the Cyclone is a great dab pen to have around. 

The Smokjoy Honor Mod; Great Mech Mod to Invest In

/0 Comments/in /by

After vaping for a few months, I knew I was ready to move into an advanced form of vaping. I decided to invest in a mech mod because I knew that it would have the features that I was wanted. I decided to buy a Smokjoy Honor Resin Mech Mod. Below are some of the pros and cons I found about this particular mod.  

The Smokjoy Honor Mod is Visually Unique

I wanted to have a mod that would stand out from the crowd and the Honor Mod fit the bill. It’s made with a resin exterior that’s unique to each mod. To ensure that uniqueness, each mod has a serial number. The kit has resin on both the mod and the fire button and includes a matching resin drip tip. It’s available in a variety of colors too. 

The Smokjoy Honor is Easy to Use 

I have found that some vape pens are difficult to use because they require so much strength to depress the fire button. The Honor mod doesn’t have this problem; it’s easy to press because it is spring loaded.  

While the Honor mod doesn’t have a lock on the fire button, it doesn’t fire on its own. The fire button is recessed so that it only fires when you press it intentionally. This cuts down on the likelihood of the mod firing while it is being carried in a pocket or purse.  

The Honor Mod Lasts a Long Time

The Honor mod has no circuitry inside, meaning that it can’t short circuit. The materials are long-lasting, and the upkeep is minimal to the mod. If the mod becomes wet, you can simply allow it to dry out and then use it the same way you would as if it had never gotten wet at all. The parts are easy to take apart and finding replacements when needed is not difficult at all. 

Does Have Some Negatives

While there are many great features to the Honor mod, there are also a few negatives too. The mod has no safety features built into it. Some mech mods have safety features built into them that make it impossible for the fire button to be depressed without unlocking it first. The Honor mod doesn’t have any such feature.  

Also, I found that the mod goes through batteries extremely quickly, which is a bit annoying when I was out and about, and the batteries died. It’s not overly expensive though as I paid less than $40 for my Honor mod and I feel it was worth the investment.  

I found that the mech mod works very well. I like that the strength isn’t regulated and that I can get a full pull when I vape. I also like the fact that it’s easy to use and I don’t have to do a lot of work to maintain it.  

It’s not hard to fill, and the vape tank is large enough to hold plenty of vape juice to get me through the day without having to refill it. I’m glad I waited to get the mod until I had already used another vape so that my lungs were ready for that intense pull the Honor mod makes.

Geek Vape Zeus Dual RTA

/0 Comments/in /by

I wanted to try an RTA and saw that the Geek Vape Zeus Dual RTA had high ratings and was priced at less than $30, which is a bonus already. After trying it out, however, I definitely feel that this is a great RTA for experienced vapers, but not for a novice. Once I figured out how to use it properly, it was great, but it was difficult to set up and use in the beginning. Below is a more comprehensive guide about the Geek Vape Zeus Dual RTA.  

 

The RTA Included a Nice Manual

The Zeus RTA came with a really nice manual; it included pictures that made it easy to identify the different parts and directions on how to properly use it. Being able to see the parts identified in the picture made it easier to put the major components together at first.  

 

Didn’t Have the Coils Installed 

When I first brought the RTA home, I found out that the coils weren’t already installed. The one’s that were included in the pack were longer than they needed to be, so I had to figure out how to trim them and then install them into the device. The manual doesn’t walk you through this part of the process, so I had to search online for videos that told me what to do.  

It took some time to figure it out, but once I did, it wasn’t overly difficult to do. The Geek Vape Zeus Dual RTA only includes two coils, so I made sure to only trim off a little bit at a time to ensure that I didn’t trim them too short and end up making them unusable.   

 

Comes with Multiple Drip Tips 

A notable feature of the Geek Vape Zeus RTA is that it comes with varying sizes of drip tips. I love this feature because there are times when I prefer a larger drip tip than most people and having the option to change it out as needed was great. There was an adapter included so that I could change between sizes with ease. 

 

This RTA Isn’t Easy to Fill

One thing I don’t like about the RTA is that it’s not easy to fill. The fill holes are located on the top of the device, but they’re somewhat small. I found that the easiest way to fill it was to use a bottle with a needlepoint tip.  

It’s designed to hold 4ml of vape juice at a time, but there is an optional bubble glass that can be purchased separately so it can hold more when needed. An extra piece of glass is included in case the one that is on it breaks.  

 

Available in Many Colors

I liked the fact that the RTA is available in many different colors including black, silver, gunmetal, and blue. This allows me to easily identify my RTA even when I am with a group of people who are vaping.  

Overall, I like this RTA; it’s just generally great vape starter kit. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for people just starting out, however, but if you are experienced with setting up an RTA, this is a great one for the money.
