    Hello again and welcome to today's review of the Marvos 60w Kit that was provided to me from Freemax for the purpose of this review. Last month I reviewed the Marvos T 80 Kit that had 3 power levels to choose from ( low, med, high ) but had no incremental adjustment for wattage or display screen like the Marvos 60w has, if you missed it I will leave a link below.
    FREEMAX MARVOS T 80W KIT REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322 . In my opinion as much as I liked the Marvos T I like the Marvos 60w even better and I'll cover why later on in the review but first get to know the new Marvos 60w Kit.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS


    The Marvos 60w came packaged nicely in a slide out box with components sitting in their own spots, the device surprised me with it's lightweight because of it's military grade tri-proof category, you would think weight would be substantial but in my opinion it's very light for being in this category. All four sides are rounded off leaving no sharp edges that would make a uncomfortable grip and unlike some other devices out there that have this tough military rating the silicone rubber protecting it seems to catch lint and debris less, I've not had to wipe any away.

    The Marvos 60w uses the same pod that attaches magnetically that it's sibling the Marvos T uses as well as the optional glass pod that is sold separately. The 4 strong magnets attach to the metal base inside the device very securely. Centered in the device are 2 gold spring loaded contact pins that make contact with the coil.


    20210720_133253.jpg



    Freemax supplies 2 mesh coils in this kit , a 0.25Ω rated for 40w-60w and a 0.35Ω rated for 30w-40w, the mesh netting are the same on each coil with the 0.35Ω coil having a smaller bore diameter and giving a bit more restricted of a vape, the 0.25Ω is very airy vaped with the airflow fully open. I know it's of no concern for the vape but I really like the blue colored O-rings on the coils.

    The pod uses the bottom fill method and it's fill port hole is large enough for a 100ml bottle tip to fit in, having a 4.5ml capacity is plenty as this isn't a guzzler of juice, it's not a sipper but it's no guzzler either.

    I really like how well the device fits the hand ergonomically and it's sides from the 2 airflow slots down are ribbed silicone rubber giving it a grippy texture that wont slip from your hand, the top portion as well as the front display screen and back are zinc alloy. Branding has been kept to a minimum with MARVOS 60w in the back.

    The 2 airflow slots located on both sides at the top are controlled using a lever located in the top back portion above MARVOS 60w branding. In it's fully open position or fully closed position the lever is almost flat to the device but as it's opened or closed it begins to protrude out causing a possible snagging issue while in a pocket. In the 9 days I've used the device I have not had that happen but want to point it out to you.

    The entire bottom of the device is encased in silicone rubber for protection and it also keeps it standing steady being non slip as well.

    The front of the device is pretty straight forward having the power/fire button at the top under the Freemax name, below the button is the display screen with the up/down buttons being below it. The Marvos 60w's type-c charge port is at the very bottom and has a silicone rubber plug protecting it from water. There are no arrows on the plug to let the user know which way to unplug it, but there is a small cutout on the left side to get a fingernail in and pull up on unplugging it from the charging port.

    Now to discuss the beautiful bright and vibrant color display screen that gives you the choice of 5 colors, at the very bottom of the display screen are 5 dots of various colors that can be your background color in the display screen, colors are Blue, Yellow, Green, Red, and White.

    There are 3 power modes in the Marvos 60w and they are Smart, Bypass and Power. In Smart mode the device will automatically recognize which Freemax coil has been installed in the pod and set the suitable wattage for the resistance of the coil that's installed.

    The Bypass mode is basically using the battery's voltage and ohm's law, as the battery's strength is depleted less voltage will be applied to the coil being like a mechanical mod with safety features built in the device.

    The Power mode is what were all familiar with and allows the user to set any wattage setting up to the maximum output of 60 watts without the safety features of the Smart mode. My favorite color is blue so of course blue is my background color choice, I don't use bypass on regulated devices and don't know of anyone that does so I excluded the bypass screenshot but here is the Smart mode and Power mode screen shots.

    Display screen layout is as follows from left to right and top to bottom.

    * POWER MODE BATTERY BAR

    * WATTAGE LOCK/UNLOCK SYMBOL

    * VOLTS OHMS

    * PUFF COUNTER

    * SECONDS OF LAST VAPE

    * AVAILABLE DISPLAY BACKGROUND COLORS

    Navigating the device is pretty simple and straight forward with just a few button combinations that I'll cover below.


    * On/Off - 5 presses of the fire button

    * Changing Power Modes - Once on 3 presses of the fire button

    * Change of Background Colors - Press and hold fire button and down button simultaneously

    * Clear Puff Counter - Press and hold the fire button and up button simultaneously

    * Wattage Adjustment Lock/Unlock (key lock/unlock) - Press and hold the up and down buttons simultaneously



    FINAL IMPRESSIONS


    Whenever the name Freemax is mentioned everyone knows that their coils are probably the best in the industry for the amazing flavor that they produce, and now they will also be known for producing fantastic devices as well.

    I have been reviewing Freemax products for some time and never received or bought a bad coil and let me tell you I've gone through a boatload of them in the past and the MS series are just as fantastic if not better.

    With the Marvos 60 being I believe the 4th full sized or close to it wattage adjustable device from them I think they hit a Grand Slam with it's development. The device feels solid as a rock and without tossing the device on the floor and possibly scratching it I will take Freemax at their word on it's ability to take some abuse. I have done the waterproof test in a glass of water and it passed the test, because of reflections through the glass of water I didn't post a picture but it passed the test.

    The color display is what made me say WOW when I first unboxed it and turned it on, so bright and vibrant with fonts large enough to read without squinting and having 5 choices of color for your background is a bonus to me.

    As I mentioned earlier the Marvos 60w has been in regular use with me for 9 days and I haven't had a problem arise since I began testing it .

    So in closing I will say that I believe the Marvos 60w to be the best full sized device or close to it with incremental wattage adjustment that Freemax has developed.

    Having the tough military rating is really icing on the cake, I would have been happy if it was just a regular device and I consider it a winner and a big win for Freemax. By the looks of this picture and Freemax stating the pod can be used with future Marvos line of devices the first 2 Marvos may be just the beginning.

    I would like to thank Tina and Freemax for sending the Marvos 60w Kit for me to review, and I hope that this review helped anyone looking to purchase the Marvos 60 w Kit.

    THANK YOU
