Huge thank you to the kind gang at @Vaporesso for sending me this beauty (spoiler) to sample.
The following review represents my own thoughts and not necessarily those of POTV. I've not been payed apart from the fun of trying this out before I pass it on.
Okay.
This is the the spanking new dual 18650, 220w GEN mod kit that includes the 8 or 5ml version of the previously reviewed excellent SKRR-S sub ohm tank.
Inside the box you get. The Gen mod, skarr-s tank in 8ml form. Spare orings, spare straight sided 5ml glass section for the tank. 1 QF 0.2 ohm mesh coil and 1 QF 0.15 strip coil, a quality usb to micro usb charge lead plus instructions and guarantee.
The GEN mod comes in various tasteful colours and this one has an aluminium style finish which looks like it's machine engraved but is actually coated in a soft grip feel coating.
The fire button is finished in a lovely rose gold with the three menu buttons lined up smartly under the clear mono screen. Top and bottom buttons are your cursor buttons with the middle button allowing access into the various menu settings.
It's simple, classic and beautifully designed.
There's a full 220w at your disposal here via the new axon chip.
This new chip is fantastic and offers the new pulse setting which when using the supplied tank or low ohm coils really gives an incredible vape by constantly pulsing the power while your holding the fire button (you really notice the difference against the normal hit and power drop off that's normal.
I used some glas "sugar cookie" in the tank and it's easily the best it's ever tasted with the mesh coil.
You also have a very clever coil recognition system that identifies the coil you've used and automatically sets the mod to the optimal setting.
You also get an eco setting that minimizes power consumption all round to give you the longest vape time between charging. Charging is super fast with a 2.5amp charge board inside. This charge circuit is very clever and balances the cells plus gives a real time charge level and time for each cell while in charge mode.
The best news is rather like the PlayStation 2 allowed you to play PlayStation games on it. The GEN has the entire omni 4.2 board available as well in a submenu. This was already possibly the most advanced board available allowing you to customize every element of your vaping experience while on the go, from every kind of tc to power curves, bypass and tons more.
A 25mm tank sits nicely on-board the centrally placed 510 which is held solid.
The battery compartment is very well marked and held in place with strong magnets so that it's invisible while in use.
I won't go too far into the SKRR tank as I've reviewed it previously with the luxe nano kit but I believe this is the most powerful and flavour full tank around. Dead easy to use too.
Last year was an awesome year for vaporesso. They released some of the most advanced and useable gear available and definitely topped my best of list with the armour pro.
I've loved using this as it's so simple to understand and navigate. The only negative I can find is if you have a light grip, you may find the coating a little slippy.
Don't be intimidated by the amount of tech available here. You can simply put some juice in and the mod pretty much does the rest automatically or you can tinker with every element if you want to.
Vaporesso have just beaten the best in my opinion. If your into your higher power vaping or just want some serious battery life and flexibility.
This is the mod for you.
Huge thanks again to the lovely folks at vaporesso for letting me play.
