There's probably a term out there already that describes the kind of guy that although, spent the majority of his childhood reading comic books, is now in his mid forties and still digs the whole superhero 'thang' .....other than 'massive manchild' that is...which is something that I myself...may well get called...quite a lot....because you see, I am most definitely one of those guys, I'm not ashamed of it......I don't deny myself it....and absolutely, under no circumstances at all....do I ever.....EVER....parade around the bedroom in front of my utterly bewildered other half whilst wearing an admittedly far too small Spiderman costume, as if that sort of thing could be considered sexy....to anyone..in any way....ever...
Nope....I don't do that....
My real passion was actually 2000ad/Judge Dredd.....If there was one thing the English were exceptional at, it was writing comic books, and even now, I still collect the odd graphic novel (because they're comics for adults who don't want to admit they still buy comics) ....That being said....when there's a new superhero film about to be released, I do get just as giddy now as I did back when I was old enough for that to be acceptable....manchild...and proud.
So when a company brings out some vape gear 'loosely' based around a couple of the more popular superheroes....you'd expect me to be ever so slightly wetting my pants....wouldn't you...? (you're old...you literally do that most days).....
I'll bear that in mind....
.................................................................................................................
A warm and slightly moist welcome to you once again my friendly neighborhood fluff-muffins , back again with more of the same...and I do mean more....I'm being a lazy MF and cramming two kits into one review because...well....I can....I don't feel I need to add anything more to that comment......so...cracking on....we're gonna talk about Vaptio, and more importantly...two of their latest kits which were sent to me by....funnily enough ...Vaptio...who'd o'thunk it....and while we're at it, we will also be getting a very valuable lesson in what you can actually get away with....without breaking any copyright infringements...gotta love the Chinese...
Don't worry....all will become clear...as always (?) SO......let's take a look...at what the fuck I am waffling on about..may I present to you, The Vaptio Wall Crawler Kit with Throne tank....and the Super Bat 220w Kit with Frogman XL tank...absolutely not endorsed by Spiderman and Batman...you understand ..(rolls eyes)
Oh you'll be thinking that a lot throughout this review.....because like I just said.....these are NOT affiliated in any way to anything Marvel or DC related......at all....and if you asked Vaptio how the hell they managed to get one of the biggest franchises in the world to endorse their smoking cessation devices they would simply say..."We didn't...aaand we don't"
Now....bear that in mind, and attempt to see past it....because I truly believe that Vaptio have it in them to produce vape gear that's worthy of people's attention, remember the super heavyweight N1 Pro I reviewed last year?...Still sits on my bedside table and gets used daily.....great mod...so....up first, we'll start small, the Wallcrawler Kit.
The Lowdown (Wall Crawler Kit)
Well of course you would think that......
The Wall Crawler Kit is a single 18650 powered, 80w device that is kept in check by Vaptio's own chip, a chip that gives a full TC suite, VW, Bypass, TCR mode, Curve modes in both wattage and TC, something called 'Smooth Tech flavour enhancement technology'...whatever that is ....and an apparent 'Supercharger technology', which has the ability of firing at 0.005 seconds.....or in real terms.... quicker than it takes me to lose interest in....ahh......hmm.
It even has a function to test your battery's condition......and all on its 1.3" TFT screen....which is actually very nice, and the interface is super easy to navigate too.
I have to admit....this ...was a bit of surprise to me when I first took this thing out of the box, because my first impression was....'Urgh....plastic' ...immediately followed by.......'Really?!?'
Absolutely NOT the Spiderman logo....and those are almost definitely NOT Spiderman webs all over the body....just so's we're clear on that......oh and...'Wall Crawler' is almost definitely NOT a name synonymous with ANY of the Marvel superheroes.....no siree ...
As far as the fire button goes, we have a full length trigger bar running down the side, it feels awesome, very clicky and responsive, 3 clicks to enter the menu, 5 to power on and off....
The battery door is a top screw cap, similar to what we have seen on many other mods these days, It's well threaded and does it's job with little drama...
Absolutely NOT Spiderman on my NOT endorsed by Marvel battery wrap....the similarity is merely a slight coincidence....it's actually just a man wearing a red balaclava and white sunglasses, who just ran through a big spider web....or so I'm told.....sounds plausible....who am I to judge....?
Up top we have a pretty nondescript 510, seems sturdy and springy enough....and as an added bonus it also boasts some kind of waterproof seal inside....I'm not breaking it to find out...and sitting on top of that....we have the Throne tank...
So called.... I am presuming....because of the 'crown' detail around the top cap.....
The Throne is a 23.5mm sub ohm tank.....odd size, but it does have a couple of things going for it that are worthy of mention. Firstly...it has a really fucking annoying rubber disk in the top which prevents spillage once you take off the quick release top....
Nope....I don't do that....

.....it is a shame coz they make good stuff...but the gimmicks will put a lot of people off....which kinda defeats the object for them lol
