Pugsley's Slightly Flaccid Review of the Wismec Sinuous V200 Kit

[cliveh2]

I still have to review my one. It really is pants and over priced for what it is

I think you just have, in one sentence [emoji23]

Wismec Sinuous V200 Kit.

Seriously....I've now been sat here staring at a blank screen for what seems like an eternity, in fact...it's been so long now that the only way I can think of getting out of it...is by telling you that I have now been staring at a blank screen for what seems like an eternity....I mean where do you even go with that....?

Thanks my ....ever helpful subconscious self.

You see...here's my dilemma. I'm in what..my third year now? of doing vape reviews, and with absolutely everything I have ever reviewed, good or bad.....there's always been something I can grab onto to make into a joke, or a story, or some...inappropriate bollocky nonsense that no one is particularly interested in anyway....but at least it's something...and yet here I am...staring at a device that someone was kind enough to give me for the purposes of telling people my opinion on it....and even the device itself is looking back at me...as if it knows the problem..

It can't be blamed on writers block - I know exactly what that is, it's more....like....being asked to write your opinion...on a glass of water...

Something itself that literally took an island full of man-eating dinosaurs to make it even remotely interesting.....

"It's clear and...refreshing...and you need it... or you'll die...enjoy!"

Regardless...here we are. Many things went through my mind before I started this write up; Is it me?...Am I just in a bad mood?....Has my usual emotionally inept persona found new lows in everything...or in fact....have I just discovered the holy grail of 'meh'? At this point I'm just as confused....and bored...as you probably are, so....with about as little gusto as I can possibly muster....let's...erm....crack on....before we all lose interest in life.....(I'm genuinely starting to think the problem may well be you) ...fair comment....I honestly can't rule that out right now (shrugs)

......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Welcome once again my barely conscious cloud billowing custard cretins, back again with something.......let's just leave that sentence there.

You're more than likely wondering at this point why I even bothered to write a piece on something that has quite clearly left me utterly...and for the first time ever I might add...uninterested?....'Is it really that shit??' you might well ask, well...no, not really, if it was really shit it would have made this review a lot more interesting I can tell you that...I mean...shit's funny to a massive man child such as myself...

I'd probably have no problem at all writing a shit-themed review let's be perfectly honest, so no...it's not shit, but it also hasn't given me anything even closely resembling a vape chubby either. So, I shall present you with something that was kindly supplied to me by Ema over at Sourcemore...and let you make up your own minds. I give you ....the Wismec Sinuous V200 Kit

Doesn't even have a funny name I can take the piss out of. I've no idea what the 'V' stands for, probably Value, but for the purposes of peaking my interest during this write up, in my mind...it will be Vaginal Queef.

The Low Down

Before I start droning on with myself, I will say that the Wismec Sinuous V200 kit is Wismec’s attempt at a budget starter kit, and you really need to bear that in mind when reading this review. It looks budget, it feels budget...because it is budget, and if you're one of those people...like me (tight) ...who revels in grabbing yourself something for pennies that turns out to be really good quality and worth a lot more....then go pour yourself a glass of Aldi's finest, put your feet up, and watch one of those bargain bin DVD's that you picked up for 50p at your local car boot sale - because this aint for you. On the other hand, if you have recently given up the stinkies and are looking at dipping your toe into the pool of high power vapeology then...who knows, maybe this'll give you a little twinge in your party pouch....stranger things have happened.

The Wismec Sinuous V200 Kit comprises of the V200 mod crowned with Wismec's Amor NSE mesh coil Sub-Ohm tank. The mod is powered by dual 18650 batteries, offers up to 200w, provides you with a comprehensive temp control suite as well as VW mode from it's Avatar chip, and is made primarily of super lightweight plastic....and when I say super lightweight....I mean lighter than your wallet the morning after you woke up from 'one of those' nights when the immortal words "LET'S DO SHOTS!!" was shouted by 'that' friend (usually me) mid afternoon....yes...that light.

The mod itself is kinda ergonomic, but not the most compact of dual battery devices being actually quite wide...

But it's certainly one of the slimmest. It sits in your palm nicely thanks to its curved front and back panels, and without the batteries in you would hardly know it was there at all.

The side panel that is held in place with 2 large and visible magnets is made from a smoked transparent plastic (in this colour combination) and has the same honeycomb pattern that we saw on the Luxotic squonkers from last year - although...in the black version it is very hard to see unless you have installed light coloured batteries..

On the top we have enough room for 26mm tops upon its.....thankfully for Wismec....bolted on 510 plate with spring loaded pin..

Down the front we have the fire button, which has so far stuck down on me three times (more on that later), The function buttons, display and micro USB...

I know, I know...you've seen it a million times before....try writing it a million times then you can come and complain to me about it. At this point you would be forgiven for thinking that this should instead be called the G200....the G standing for Generic.

The Display itself has all the usual information, and navigating it brings probably the only surprise in the whole experience.

This is due to the fact that within the menu Wismec have gone with an odd little quirk, you see each option is displayed as little square symbol, for example - you have the Pacman ghost for stealth mode.....I won't show you....or tell you what the others mean, because I don't want to ruin the copious amounts of fun you will encounter each time you have to refer to the manual until you learn them all.....

You're welcome.

And finally we have the battery bay....

Indeed....I will say this though, the battery markings are very clear and easy to read thanks to them being in white, genuinely something that all manufacturers should do and I have never understood why some make it so fucking difficult to see them unless you're sat in a well-lit room or maybe have a torch to hand...I do like that...it's the V200's one redeeming feature....I can't even tell if I'm being sarcastic...

On top of this thrilling tower of excitement we have the matching Wismec Amor NSE mesh coil Sub-Ohm tank...

I know right, you can certainly see why they named it 'Amor'......

It's 26mm of plastic uber luxury, no sir...no peasant glass to be found here around it's over exuberant 3ml capacity. How this will perform if all you vape is strong menthol or highly citric juices is anyone's guess, let's just assume that Wismec have thought about that...I say presume...I probably mean doubt..

Did pretty much the same (but far less entertaining) review myself recently.
You look at it and you want to shout but as we've spent years clambering to buy plastic 3d printed boxes from the face book for silly money, you can't really blame them.
I wanted to hate it as it's basic old box but I've been using it as a power source to test a few tanks and liquids lately and the sodding pig is surprisingly easy to live with. The import tank is obviously a better size at 5ml but still plastic, so a crack magnet.
The supplied mtl coils work fine but it's weird vaping mtl on that big boy.
The mesh coils to be frank are a disaster. I've been through quite a few as the mesh wraps quite tightly into those small coils and the positive and negative ends are only a few mm's away from each other. I've experienced a little warping which causes the short you'd expect.
I'm still none the wiser if I like it or not.
Put the advken manta sub tank on it and you've really got a dancing pig.

Yeah warping would make sense to create the short, I didn't even give it time to tear it apart, it was straight in the bin, it could be a 'keep in the glovebox' kinda mod I guess, for emergencies, but for 50 quid?.....never, not worth half that, I think once I learnt the price my mind was already soured to this thing,they've got a nerve I think.
Thanks for the comment though man

This seems to be the current trend. Chinese manufacturers are pricing very high on pre order as the sales will come from numpty's like us.
Within a fortnight of these mods and tanks hitting our shops I'm seeing $40 tanks on sale for under £15 and profits are still made.
We just need to hold back a week or two.

Yeah it's a pretty good indication on the quality of the thing, coupled with the reaction from the reviewers, the good stuff keeps it's price pretty well but you're bang on, this'll hit the bargain bucket within a couple of weeks, and rightly so.
