    How Kroma R is made:

    The front area is entirely covered by the Fire button which incorporates the screen, the Up / Down buttons and the USB socket for charging.

    The rear is quite indefinable: it is rubbery in appearance, but it is hard and rough, as a consistency it is more similar to plastic, it offers good hand grip and is well integrated with the profile of the mod.

    The side panels are in zinc alloy with and ergonomic grooves, pleasant to the touch.
    On one side there is the inscription Kroma R, on the other side we find the name of the brand engraved.

    8.jpg


    The upper and lower parts of the Mod are very massive and heavy, I assume they are made of steel, their balanced weight gives a sense of balance by holding the device.

    The cup has a spring loaded gold-plated pin and the thread is sliding.

    In the lower part, the opening direction to access the battery compartment is clearly indicated with an arrow on the sprung cover, the logo for disposal and the C E mark are flanked on the side. The positive pole is marked inside the battery compartment on the bottom, once the cell has been inserted, closing is done by simply pressing the cover.

    Conclusions:

    The Kroma-R is an excellent mod to be used with MTL tanks, or sub-ohm regenerable single coil tanks of low or medium power, in fact the mod is also supplied in combination with the Tank Innokin Ajax.
    The Kroma R doesn't have temperature control, but there are other interesting features.
    The Kroma R is one of the best single 18650 mods I have ever had, I really liked the design, finishes, materials and ergonomics, it also seems robust.
    The kroma R also has good battery management and a very quick reaction to the Fire button.

    Innokin Zlide tank works well, even if it is not equipped with a liquid block like Zenith.
    My favorite coil is 0.8Ω, in the past I found myself particularly well with these coils, even consuming 50-70ml of liquid with a coil before replacing it.
    0.8Ω Coil is particularly aromatic and I believe it is still one of the best MTL coils on the market.
    The 1.2Ω coil has played tricks on me in the past and therefore I haven't even tried it, putting it in the box.
    Coil 0.8Ω instead is a guarantee of reliability and Top performance, I was delighted to see it when I opened the package of this kit.

    Ultimately it is a kit that I recommend buying on Sourcemore in combination with the Zlide 4ml and the 0.8Ω coils.
    If, on the other hand, you are a DTL lover, you can buy on Sourcemore the Kroma R in combination with the 5ml Ajax tank.
