New player in the game www.govpark.com - I can tell by their website they are marketing similar ways to Kangertech. I have been using some mods for a few days and below I will share some photos and initial thoughts. Many of these devices are available in multiple colors and in packages with tanks.

I have to thank a forum vendor healthcabin for allowing me some early access to these devices.

I know some folks may be interested in information on these devices. All of them are extremely easy to use and anyone looking for a small, but powerful device for NI and Kanthal vaping you should check them out.

My opinion is that these are directly designed to compete with Kangertech Subox, Istick 40, 60, 100 and similar Joytech products. They will be sold individually and in kits with tank and mod. Just searching around the net I found 50 watt combo kits less than $100 and the 150 watt box for $60 with free shipping from China. I would assume U.S.A. B&M would probably sell the 150 for $79-$100 (support your B&M's).:)

For me I vape all the time in the 100-150 watt range so I spent most of my time on the larger boxes, but there is plenty to check out across the line up. The tanks worked well also and it was kind of nice for me to get back to some "normal" vaping @ 50 watts 450 degrees like 90% of the country actual uses their devices. The intended customer will enjoy these products IMO and if you are fan of large crisp screens it may be a no brain-er.

If you have a DNA200 and Cyclone 150 watt clearo you are probably not who this is marketed for. Those are some quick thoughts, but check out the videos for more information. :)

What I liked on the 150,100,50 TC Watt:
  • Easy to use flip door on the bottom
  • Fantastic screens A+++
  • Excellent +/- dial, very precise and 0 complaints
  • Good fire button (minor wiggle, nice and clickey)
  • Wattage/Temp Control felt accurate without pulsing
  • New Atty Yes/No Verification
  • USB charge (50 & 30 watt model)
  • Quite, essentially rattle free once batteries installed
  • The size of 100 & 150 model - WOW
What could we improve?
  • The finish could be tougher (keep in mind this is a lower price point item)
  • Glow in the dark indicators on mode knob or back lit LED for night viewing
  • USB pass through/charging 100-150 model not on these models
  • Packaging was rather basic, but again "price point" understandable
  • 30 Watt model, would rather not have seen the switch/on off (stick with the dial throughout the line up)
  • Slight delay on cold TC 1st draw (warm up)
  • Ti and SS native support

The Summary: If you are shopping for very small and powerful with TC for Ni these mods are worth at least checking out locally if you can. When you hold one in your hand the size is so impressive and it just feels good. No its not a Vaporshark DNA200, but maxing out 150 watts in nearly the same dimensions on trusted 18650 (with basic TC) is not too shabby for 140.00 less bucks for those on a budget. I can also assure you the battery life vaping a .1 ohm coil @ 50 watts will probably be a 2 day run before needing a charge for most folks.


Thanks

How do you speed up the wattage and temp settings with the dialler?

The +/- knobs feels like a light switch in your house when you are just barely pushing on it. You can feel it wanting to go back to center. How hard I push it will make it go faster, or I can just give it taps and it goes up incrementally. It really is IMO something they nailed "IF" you are going to do it this way. I cannot say it is better than a standard +/- , but A for effort on trying something new.


Let me know if the production model comes with usb charging capability.

They have confirmed my models are production and they removed the USB charging on the 100 and 150 for safety reasons :( I guess it seems too good to be true to score dual 18650/150 watts with pass through charging.

Really good reviews. Pretty in-depth. A couple of questions I have though. If you went over these in your video I apologize for missing it.

Can you lock in the resistance while in TC?

Can the wattage be changed in TC or is it fixed?

Does it support Titanium wire or is it Nickel only?

How accurate is the board for reading resistance and temperature?

How has the battery life been?

Can you lock in the resistance while in TC? It has the "new atty yes/no?" which sets the base resistance. I expected to see the resistance bouncing around once warmed up, but it doesn't. So it's adjusting temp off the initial ohm reading.

Can the wattage be changed in TC or is it fixed? Yes/No - You can to turn the knob to engage changing wattage and wattage does affect temperature because it is making a difference in how much power is being made to reach said temperature. However you have to turn the knob to F in order to change temp. Most devices you would just click click click to do something similar.

Does it support Titanium wire or is it Nickel only? It does not natively support either SS or Ti, but I tried an SS coil in TC and felt some temp control at lower ranges (sub 300F). However in straight wattage SS all day long is fine.

How accurate is the board for reading resistance and temperature? It felt just as accurate as my IPV3 Li or Sigelei 75 experiences.

How has the battery life been? It seems to be managing well. At 45 watts, 500F I am on my 3rd night using and I am at 52%. I have not had a chance to run the crap out of it 100 watts non TC to see how quickly it drops.

P.S. One thing I do really like is the bottom load batteries because it seems to prevent tearing of the wrap.

*UPDATE*

Batteries using 540F lasted me about 10 tanks (40ML) & I put a fresh SS Coil in my Crown for some hard testing 100 watts or so on the next set of batteries. I mention this because the new SS coil gave no fluke temp option like the old SS coil. So expect only Ni for temp control 100% for sure. I also tried Ti and it fired, but I felt no TC happening, it let me change the temp, read like temp was happening, but no dice.

I honestly love this device for Ni and regular wattage (as designed). I think I am in love with the screen and the size. Maybe it is the honey moon phase as we all have them with new devices, but 150 watts in less than the size of a pack of smokes is pretty cool.

VPARK if you are listening..... add a silicone sleeve with an open bottom that goes on top down in the package and then add Ti and SS temp on your next round of devices, keep the size where it is and you will have a home run.

I saw the two lower models on angelcigs.com. I like the look and design but I thought the price was a little high ($65.99 for the 30w kit). They arent selling the mod separately. I wouldnt be interested in the tank anyway unless rebuilding was an option. And it doesnt look like the tank would be compatible with any current coil on the market, at least any that I know of.
Id guess the estimated MSRP drops by $20 on all models.

It could be that force bundle deal on the lower ones (like Subox did) before selling the tank separate.

For me I have honed in on the 150 model (same size as 100) as an every day device. None of my other mods (Sig/IPV3li/Hohm) batteries last as long or seem as accurate on battery life as this little booger. It will vape down to 2% battery and the size is just so tiny. However I don't think one should pay more than $80-99 tops for it.

Oh that knob is hideous!

Promise, it is not that bad. It's just different. I felt the same way you did until I got used to it and realized it is a tad larger than a dime. However, I get it as it is certainly different and could have just as easily been a button. Someone really wanted it to look unique.

The big winner is size, this 150 makes a Sig 150 feel like a boat. I think they have White and Silver also.

I will check it out. I put my mods in my pocket at times. Does the knob catch? It is definitely unique and not in a bad way.

It is quite firmly in place and takes force to turn (so it stays put) and I have not had it catch/pinch on anything myself.
