    Hello and welcome back to my next review for Dovpo. This time I was sent the BP Mods Lightsaber Pod Mod kit in order to provide you with a fair, honest, and hopefully informative review. The Lightsaber is a tube style pod mod with a few twists and turns that might surprise you. There are two versions which are the L and the S versions. I only received the L version for this review. It has an internal 2100mah battery that supplies you with an output range of 5-60 watts. It has a 5V/2A charging rate to get you back up and running quickly when you need to recharge. Included in the kit is a 5ml pod tank and two coils. The specs say that it’s supposed to include two different coils but my kit contained two of the .3 ohm coils. I mentioned that there are a few neat features of the Lightsaber but I’ll get into those later.

    INITIAL THOUGHTS:

    The packaging for the Lightsaber mod is very similar to other BP Mods samples that I have received recently. The outer sleeve that is over the box has the BP Mods and Lightsaber name on the front with the words Luxury Edition somewhat faded in larger lettering in the background. The back side of the box the contents list, some specifications, authenticity code, company information, and a bar code sticker stating the version contained inside. As you can see I received the silver L version which is the larger of the two available models. The L version has a 2100mah internal battery while the smaller S version has a 1500mah internal battery.

    Once the outer sleeve and box top are removed then you can see the Lightsaber mod and two different drip tips in a foam insert. There is a box to the right that contains two coils, a USB-C charging cable, and an accessory bag. I have to say that I really like the looks of this mod and the wood on the handle is real. There is even a warning on the plastic wrap on the handle warning you to protect the wood from certain things like fire and strong sunlight. There are also different handle sleeve materials available for ordering separately.

    When you look at the Lightsaber you might think the pod portion on top is a top fill but actually it’s a pod. You pull the silver cap off the top and there is a rubber fill plug underneath that you have to lift to fill just like any other pod. The pod has a liquid capacity of 5ml.

    The bottom of the pod has four magnets to help it attach to the base opening of the mod very securely. In the first picture below you can see how the base has two raised sections that contain the magnets and there are openings or notches in between them. This is because this allows the pod to align with the raised notches in the base opening to keep the pod from turning or moving once inserted in the base. In the second picture you can see the raised notches as well as the two gold plated spring loaded contacts. The pod opening is secured to the base of the mod using three torx head screws. There is also a 510 adapter available for purchase separately that comes with three different top plates to allow it to match up with different sized tanks of 22, 24, and 26mm diameters.

    The silver cap on the bottom of the Lightsaber is threaded and this is how you are able to change the handle material with other optional handle materials available for sale separately. Once the bottom cap is unscrewed then the handle portion just slides off of the end of the mod. Underneath the handle is the Lightsaber name printed on the body.

    The airflow control portion is part of the mod body. This way you don’t have to worry about rotating the pod to change airflow. The airflow control ring has a series of four small holes and one larger slot opening to allow the user to get anything from a tight MTL with the 1.05 TMD coils or RDL with the .55 TMD coils, or even DTL with the .3 ohm TMD coils.

    The Lightsaber is set up a little different from almost all other mods that I see. Normally the fire button and the adjustment buttons are all located on one side along with the display screen. However, the Lightsaber has the adjustment buttons on the side that has the display screen while the fire button and USB-C charging port are located on the opposite side. One thing I like is how the fire button is raised from the body enough that I can feel for the fire button without physically looking for it.

    The Lightsaber has a 5V/2A charging circuit built in to get you charged and back up and running fairly quickly. The display is rather simple and pretty small on this one. It has a battery level indicator, coil resistance, set wattage, and output voltage. The set wattage is easy enough to see but my eyes aren’t the best and I honestly can’t read the lower numbers that are in a smaller font without some sort of magnification.

    The menu/button operation for the Lightsaber mod is as follows.

    • Press the fire button 5X to turn the mod on/off
    • Press the fire button 3X to enter the menu to choose between Power, Voltage, or Bypass
    • Press the + and – buttons to lock the adjustment buttons

    FINAL THOUGHTS:

    I have very much enjoyed testing the BP Mods Lightsaber mod. It uses the same TMD series coils in the pod as the TMD Boro and Dot tanks did in my prior reviews which means that the Lightsaber can also use PNP and GTX coils below .6 ohms. This is due to the physical size of the higher resistance coils that make them not fit into the tanks or the pod for the Lightsaber. I kind of wish that it had been included in the kit but am glad that they offer a 510 adapter kit for those that want to use their own tanks. It’s also great that they thought to include three different sized rings with the adapter to allow for different size tanks.

    Obviously by now, this having been the third device from BP Mods that uses the TMD coils, I am very familiar with them. The .55 ohm coil is very good for RDL running around 24 watts with the airflow partially closed. The .3 ohm coil is my favorite out of the ones I received to test and like it on this mod at 36 watts with the airflow completely open. Both coils produced pretty good flavor and plenty of vapor for my likes.

    I feel like the Lightsaber is very versatile by being able to use different coils, having changeable handle materials, and the optional 510 connection makes it a complete mod useable with any tank that fits into the 5-60 watt output range. I’m sure you know the answer to this already so I’ll just say it. If you are looking for a nice tube mod with lots of options available then I’d definitely recommend this one. Just don’t forget to order the 510 adapter kit with the mod.

    I’d like to thank Dovpo and Dorothy for sending the BP Mods Lightsaber Kit for this review. A great big thanks to you the reader for sticking it out to the end of another review. Below is a link to the website for your viewing pleasure.
