Recently I was fortunate enough to receive a wonderful new mod/tank kit that is very new to the vaping market. I won it as part of a contest that the vendor
Heaven Gifts was running, and I have to thank Evan -
@Vera for the SUPER fast shipping and response! I’ll tell you this: Heaven Gifts does not waste time with shipping. The device was shipped via DHL from China on December 29th and I received it in Houston, TX on December 31st!

Anyway, here’s a review of the product so far:
What:
Vaporesso 75W VTC Mod/Tank Kit
In the box:
Vaporesso 75W VTC Mod
Vaporesso cCell Tank
0.9 ohm Kanthal cCell (installed)
0.2 ohm Nickel cCell
USB Charging Cable
What you need to start vaping:
A freshly charged 18650 Battery (I recommend Sony VTC5s for this one)
A delicious and tasty juice of your choice.
Okay, so I received the package and ripped it open immediately to find the mod box itself was very well protected with several layers of bubble wrap. No risk of damaged good here! So I broke out my trusty pocket knife and freed my shiny new toy from its plastic and cardboard imprisonment.
After unscrewing the Kanthal coil head and giving the atomizer body and internals a thorough washing with soapy water, I reinstalled the Kanthal coil head and filled the tank with juice. I DIY my own blend of 70VG/30PG 7.5mg/ml nicotine that I call Peaches-N-Cream. As a side note, I have been using rayon (cellucotton) wicks for over a year now, to me that gives me the best flavor that I thought possible (yes, even better than Japanese organic cotton pads). Well, folks… I have to admit that I was not overly impressed by the ceramic coils in the beginning. I was a bit disappointed and was secretly missing my rayon… but I wanted to believe in the ceramic. I wanted to give it a fair chance. At about half-way through the first tank, it hit me. A proverbial ‘Mack Truck’ of flavor came barreling down the freeway as if it had lost its brakes and plowed right into me! I was stunned. I tasted flavors that I’d never noticed in my juice before. It was juicy, it was mouth-watering, and I finished off that tank with record speed. In fact, I went through four tanks and two batteries inside of an eight hour time period! Bottom line… the cCells need a bit of an initial break-in period, but after that they are AMAZING!
I suppose that I should touch on the mod, itself, here. All things being subjective, I like it. A lot! It gives me a nostalgic feeling of a video game joystick from my childhood. A little larger than the Atari, of course, but very comfortable and it feels great in the hand. Very natural and ergonomic… The body of the mod is all metal, the battery door is held in place by two very strong rare earth magnets (pull from the bottom to remove because there is a tab that holds it at the top). The back of the battery door (the black section) has what feels like a rubberized coating. It has a ‘leather-like’ look to it, but it allows for a non-slip grip that I appreciate. The rest of the paint is flawless, though if I were to make a suggestion to Vaporesso here, it would be to put a nice clear coat over the color. My mod is white, and easily gets dirty if you have any dirt or grime on your hands when you pick it up. A nice clear coat would make for a cleaner looking mod. The controls are very simple to use, in fact, the display can be switched with three rapid clicks of the fire button to make it easier to read for left hand or right hand use. The mod easily finds its proper orientation in your hand. The fire button is solid with a very satisfying tactile click when squeezed. I know that there is some argument that the mod is not truly capable of 75W with only one 18650 battery… I will not address that here. I will say that I am running the Kanthal coil at 40W and that is perfect for me. With the airflow between ½ and 2/3 open I get a moderately warm and very flavorful vape.
I cannot say with any certainty how long the coils will last, but I am very happy with them right now. Vaporesso claims “self-cleaning”, but what they really meant by that is – if you get a dry hit, or if you overpower the coil and get a burnt hit, if you re-wet the head and/or turn down the power, you will not continue to taste a burnt wick. Very unlike cotton, with which if you burn it… it is trash. Another thing that I can say is that with my 70VG/30PG ratio, the coil wicks and keeps up well. This morning it was 35°F outside and it continued to wick and vape well. If you’ve been through a season or two of vaping, you know that is a pretty big deal… low outside temperatures and high VG liquids typically make for an under-wicking tank and some nasty dry hits.
Just to sum up, this mod is a performer, it is comfortable, it is unique, and I am impressed!
Anyway, that’s my first attempt at a true review of a product. I hope you guys enjoy my viewpoints on this mod, and I appreciate any criticism. I did find this review to be pretty simple to write because I do truly love this little mod and this review basically wrote itself!
Happy Vaping!

One of my resolutions for this year is to start rebuilding some of my prebuilt heads so rayon is on my list of things to get.
