Well that time has come to do a little review, I am not a man of many words and what I do usually come out with is a load of bollocks, but I will make an effort here to put my few thoughts across.
I ordered this on the 31st December from Protovapor and it arrived in just over two weeks. It`s journey was tracked by a USPS number and you can ask for email updates regarding this which is handy, once it said it had landed in the UK it was a couple of days wait, and you won`t get any joy from using the tracking number with the PO despite them telling you to replace the last two letters with "GB". Price including shipping worked out at £127.89, on top of that there was the dreaded customs of a fiver plus eight sobs from those robbing fuckers at the PO. Still, all in all I felt it worked out reasonable for a DN20 mod.
Ok in the box you get the Mod, a card with the serial number, a usb charging cable and a little placcy bag with a little "O" ring, although I got no idea what that is for but will ask on ECF later. A spare square Black plate which is to use if you decide to take the belt clip off, as the plate is part of the belt clip. The belt clip itself seems quite sturdy and has a strong springyness to it, it is made of some kind of non metal material but only some real abuse could I see it getting broke, only time will tell on that front. Lastly there is an adapter, there are two options when ordering from memory, either a raised 510/ego fitting or a sunken 510, I went for the sunken 510 to suite my tanks so I thought it was a nice little touch to include the adapter as well. The body itself is made of aluminium and a choice of coloured coatings are available on ordering, I went for the Blue at the time. So being made of what it is makes this Mod fairly light in comparison to a mech or any other VV/VW device, some may not like that but it makes a change not to be carrying a half kilo of metal about. Full spec of the XPV can be found HERE They also have a little Blog HERE and the DNA30 looks to be just around the corner, word has it they will be bringing out a twin battery box mod at some point. Talking of batteries I went with the 2900 Panasonic Hybrid version.
Well it looks different if nothing else with a round tank on the top.
Included adapter which shows an adjustable positive pin, the countersunk 510 on the mod is not adjustable.
Adapter and Belt clip view from the side.
View of the only two controls you use. Top Red switch is the main one for on/off and firing, again you have a choice of colour on ordering. The switch has a nice feel of pressure on it and does not need to be hammered to fuck to get it to work, they claim this to be of NASA design, only time will tell. To operate the switch it is a simple case of pressing five times within 7 seconds, plenty of time so again no need to be pressing it like a man posessed to get it to operate.Once on it will briefly do a quick check before going to the main display. A further 5 gentle presses of the switch will power down the unit again, if the unit is left switched on for more than four minutes it will automatically go into sleep mode and can be woke up just by a single press of the switch when you go to take a draw on it. Underneath this there is a jog wheel, moving it up increases the power and down for decreasing, this can be done in .1 increments or if you hold it either up or down it will cycle through respectivly gradualy increasing speed as it does it.
Next up is numbers. I hate fucking numbers always have done, make of these numbers as you wish. Don`t tell me it`s not on the right setting as I dont` give a fuck about numbers. Besides it`s for demonstration purposes.
Lastly a pic for comparison against a couple of mechs
Overall verdict. Yup really pleased so far with this and the vape on it is really smooth, like I say it may not be to everybodys taste but it suites my needs, stateside they are going mad for them at the moment and as I mentioned before I have not read a bad thing about them to date. Protovapor seem really proud with their product, as long as this one keeps going I might well look into a DNA30 later down the road. It just leaves me now to start trying a few dual coil setups and pushing the power up a notch or three
well thanks for looking and apologies if I have missed anything out of this review.
