I’m very pleased to be back with you today. I have to say that it is nice to finally get another box mod for review. This time I was sent the Dovpo Themis Mod by Dovpo in order to provide a fair and honest review. Any more it seems like mod releases are few and far between and give kudos to Dovpo for making the effort to put out another box mod instead of pod after pod like some companies have chosen to do. The Themis uses dual 18650 batteries to provide an output range of 5-220 watts. It does offer a charging rate of 2000mah although it’s always recommended to charge batteries in a charger instead of the mod if you can. It has a working voltage of 6.4-8.4 volts and recognizes a resistance range from .07-3.5 ohms. The Themis has a .96” color display and has five output modes available. It’s made from aluminum alloy to keep it lightweight yet durable. It boasts simple operation that can accommodate beginners but I’ll let you know later what I think about that.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:

The Themis comes in a pretty standard box that can be opened from either end. I kind of thought the presentation on this one might be a little fancier but I guess it is simple packaging for a mod that boasts simplicity in use. It does have a cover that lifts up so you can see the mod through a clear viewing window.

The front of the box is pretty plain with it being black and the Dovpo and Themis Box Mod words printed on the front. Like I said the cover does lift up so you can see the mod and the Dovpo logo is on the inside of that flap. The back side of the box has just a contents list and a warning along with the company information.







Once opened, the mod is a little better seen. I received the black version so it doesn’t really stand out that much against the black box and black foam insert. Inside is the mod, a USB charging cord and a user manual. The mod was so tight in the foam insert that the back panel where you load the batteries stayed in the foam when I pulled the mod out.



The face plate that surrounds the fire button and + and – buttons is held on with two magnets and exposes a really nice design underneath. I don’t know if you can buy different face plates for this or not but could swap them if you have more than one.





The opposite side is where the batteries are loaded. With a top end rating of 220 watts, the Themis does use dual 18650 batteries. The back panel is also held on with two magnets. One runs vertical while the other is horizontal. The battery polarity is clearly marked on both battery trays and there is a cloth strap that you can weave underneath the batteries to help with removing them when it’s time for a battery change. You can see in the picture below there is a USB port in between the two battery bays. I’m guessing that it is intended for updating since charging batteries inside a mod is not recommended.



The 510 connection plate is centered and held in place by two torx head screws. The center pin is plated and spring loaded. It can hold up to a 26mm atomizer without overhang.



The bottom of the mod has the Dovpo name printed on it as well as “Designed by Dovpo” and a serial number. As you can see in the picture below there are notches in the bottom to make it easier to remove the side panels by using a fingernail to get into those slots and lift the panels.



Next up is the .96” color display. I’ve noticed that this is a common size for the display on several different mods that I’ve tested or used. It is color but some of the font is a little hard to read due to the size. However, there is the option of having the display green or red but I’m partial to the green. The display shows the following information.

• Dovpo name on top
• Two battery level indicators
• Output setting and mod in large font
• Output voltage while firing and coil resistance
• Length of current puff
• Puff counter
• Lock/unlock symbol

The button and menu operation is fairly simple and user friendly. The wattage adjustment is in .5 watt increments for quick presses and if held will adjust in 1 watt increments.

• Press the fire button 5X to turn the mod on/off
• Press the + and – buttons to lock the adjustment buttons and the lock symbol will be displayed on the screen
• Press the fire button 3X to enter the menu where you will find the following options.
• Power
• Voltage
• Temp Ni
• Temp Ti
• Temp SS
• Bright
• Stats
• Colour
• Exit

The Themis Box Mod has built in protections as most devices do. They are as follows.

• Reverse Polarity protection
• No Load protection
• Short Circuit protection
• Time out protection(10 seconds)
• High Temperature protection
• Low Battery protection(triggered when the combined voltage of both batteries is lower than 6.4V)

FINAL THOUGHTS:

The Themis Box Mod is just that. A 220 watt rectangular box mod with squared off edges. It does remind me a little of a Dot Mod box mod that I have since both have the removable face plate with a design underneath. I think Dovpo was going for a classic style box mod with fairly simple controls while still offering all of what I would call standard functions that we are used to seeing. Sure I would have liked to have had the corners rounded to make it a little more comfortable in the hand but feel like that might have taken away from the classic styling that they were going for.

The body of the Themis is made of aluminum alloy to help it stay fairly lightweight despite housing two 18650 batteries. I have never pushed a mod past 80 watts and don’t know that I ever will. With my style of vaping the dual batteries last at least 3-4 days. I tend to run somewhere between 24 and 45 watts depending on the tank and coil inside it. I felt like the battery management was pretty good on this one.

The 510 connection plate will hold atomizers up to 26mm which I think will cover about 90% of the tanks that I have at least. I tried a few different tanks on this one. I happen to be testing the Requiem RTA while also testing the Themis and at first it seemed to work fine with this tank but it has a 510 pin that protrudes quite a bit and after a while I started getting a “check atomizer” message and the tank wouldn’t fire. I guess it didn’t like the long pin. I immediately tried two other tanks and both worked fine on the Themis. The Themis seemed to me to have a quick response time when firing but I really don’t have a way to test that time. I will just say that it seemed to respond quickly using the proprietary Dovpo chipset. The display is ok but I kind of wish they had made the font on the wattage setting a little smaller to allow for the other information on the bottom of the display to be a little larger. I don’t have the best eyes and struggled a little bit to see the other information on the screen.

Overall I think Dovpo has accomplished what they set out to do was to make an old school type box mod that is a powerhouse and works well. Also this one is fairly inexpensive for a dual battery mod. I enjoyed testing it and wouldn’t have a problem recommending it if you are looking for this type of mod. I don’t really do TC vaping so can’t really comment on how the TC control on this one works.

I’d like to thank Dovpo and Joan for sending the Dovpo Themis Box Mod for this review and hope to continue working with them in the future. Thanks as always to you the readers! Below is a link to the Dovpo website and feel free to take a look around. They have a lot of interesting products available.
