Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the Wismec Sinuous Solo Stick Kit, please see the bottom for disclaimers and links. Note this is marked as a sample
Introduction:
The Wismec Sinuous Solo kit with Armor NS Pro tank is the latest Vape Stick kit from Wismec. Wismec is a company that doesn't really need an introduction and has been around a long time and is a different brand under the joyetech umbrella. I haven’t had much luck with their products but we’ll see if this can break that streak. The Sinuous Solo is made to be their version of an ijust3, cascade one plus, voopoo caliber, or smok stick but with the added feature of also doing MTL like the vandyvape BSKR kit. It features an internal 2300mah battery and is a simple non adjustable stick however has 2 modes. It features a LED around the fire button for battery charge and mode. The included tank is the Armor NS Pro 22mm tank which is a smaller version of the one i reviewed in the past and i’ll focus on how it works with the stick battery. It’s available in 5 colors, Silver, Dazzling (rainbow), Red, Black and White and is available online in the 40USD dollar price range at many sites like elementvape

Sinuous Solo Battery Rundown
The Sinuous Solo battery is an automatic adjustable simple stick with a fire button and nothing else. There is an LED around the fire button. It tell you the battery level by how fast it flashes 60% or more battery and ti stays lit, 30-59% and it flashes slowly, 10-29% it flashes moderately, and less than 10% it flashes quickly. That needs to be better done IMO but at least it’s somewhat of a battery meter. If it flashes fast time to charge it. As far as adjustable goes it has 2 output modes like the vandy vape berserker MTL kit or exceed NC kit. The difference between this kit and those however is you can’t pick the mode yourself. Any coil with a resistance of .79 or less will be green on the LED signaling it’s in bypass or direct output mode, at .8 ohm or higher the LED will be white signaling it’s in constant output mode.
The stick itself is really nice. There is not much of a design it’s just a basic stick with some lines of contrasting color for a little style but nothing too gaudy. The coloring is nice as well and looks like a nice matte finish on my white one. It can handle a 22 mm atomizer without overhang which is the size of the included armour NS pro tank and makes it have an AIO type look to it. It feels well built and is all metal, but it’s also really light. The USB port is on the side and they list 2 amp fast charging.
The only testing I did on this battery is the charge rate and battery capacity. I know i tested some in the past but based on the type of kit it is and what it’s used for I don’t feel it’s 100% necessary. The highest charge rate I got personally was 1.7A so i’m good with the 2A max rating they give. The battery i tested at 2207mah so the 2300mah rating they list is also good as well. No complaints there and charges fast with a good size battery.
Armor NS Pro Tank performance
Quick rundown on the tank, it’s a 22mm diameter, uses a 510 drip tip and comes with a matching one depending on your color option so mine is white and a 2ml capacity. The Armor NS Pro uses a slide back to fill method as well. The airflow is made for both MTL and DTL so has 2 large DTL slots as well as 3 small holes for MTL. My main focus on this will be how does the tank perform with the Sinuous Solo battery.
It comes with 2 coils, one is the WS-M .27ohm mesh coil for DTL and the other is the WS04 MTL 1.3ohm coil for MTL vaping. I started with the WS-M mesh coil. I ran 14ml hoping it would break in but it never did and the coil died and burned out as well. It was mostly just a hot flavorless vape and made the whole tank get hot as well. Just a really poor coil. Then i used the WS04 MTL coil, it did give good flavor for a MTL vape but sadly burned out after 6ml of use so poor coil life. It also had a slight whistle as well but not a big deal compared to the poor coil life. It’s the same coil used in the tank with the active kit i reviewed and that one died after about 2-3mls of juice as well so just bad coil life which is a shame as the flavor for MTL is pretty good and outside of the zenith tank there really aren’t any good options for MTL vapers.
Pros:
So with all that said, do I recommend this kit or not? I don’t like to do a hard yes or no, but this is going to lean towards the no pretty heavily. Beginner ktis like this rely heavily on the coil performance and these just don’t stack up. The mesh coil was one of the worst mesh coils i’ve used and even poor for regular coils and the MTL coil while vapes good, just doesn't last at all and dies too fast. If they could fix the coil life on the MTL coil and market it as a MTL starter kit it could be awesome but as it stands now it’s just another kit to avoid. I won’t be adding this to my sheet.
This is Anthony Vapes just keeping it honest, hopefully you all can say the same and i’ll catch you on my next review.

Pros:
- Build Quality of mod and tank
- Size and Weight for portability
- Simple Sleek Design
- Battery Life (2300mah battery)
- AFC is easy to adjust and smooth
- Standard 510 tip
- Easy to refill
- Decent Battery Indicator
- Passthrough vaping
- nice bright LED
- MTL coil has good flavor for MTL
- color options (5)
- Really fast charging
- poor vape from the mesh coil
- both coils have poor life
- small 2ml capacity
