Society Vapors Athena... What do you think about it

[USA-Alex]

Hello folks,

I did some shopping last night and ordered the Athena, it was more of an impulse buy the anything else.
I should receive it in a few days, it's my first regulated mod, I'm using mech mods since over three years.

Anyhow, I'd like, etc to get your input and ideally first hand reviews about the Athena.... So far there is not much info floating around on the WWW about this device.

Thanks guys

Hey man, unfortunately I can't provide any insight/review on the Athena as I don't own one, but I've been looking to buy it for a bit now. The biggest thing holding me back is the lack of buttons, I know you can use grav control to adjust the wattage and such but that just seems a bit inconvenient to me at least.

Anywho, if you wouldn't mind letting me know your impressions of the device after you recieve it I would appreciate it greatly! Really torn on the Athena...looks beautiful but like I said idk if I would like having to use grav control. Decisions decisions.....

Thanks man, I was debating with myself whether or not I need to have the buttons, I decided for no since I very likely will not constantly change settings once I found the sweet spot.... I guess time will tell if this was the right decision.

It seems like that the Athena does not get much loooove in here huh..? Anyone else has to have it.... What's your impressions?

I have seen a few scattered posts about it before. I was looking at one before I decided I wanted a dual 18650 mod. Still very intrigued by it, it's a beautiful looking Mod. Have you gotten it yet? any first impressions?

 

[USA-Alex]

No I don't have it yet.... Should arrive in a few days.
I mainly bought it due to its great design and the chip.... Can't wait to check it out.
As said before, it's my first regulated mod, so I'm excited about it.

It's hard to believe that there are not many many Athena users around here.

I'll get my Athena tomorrow, can't wait to check it out.....
Can't believe that nobody else has one and/or wants to share it's opinion.

so, finally got the Athena yesterday.
I'm using it a since I got it. Run a Kayfun 4 on it.

Well, to keep it short, I'm not impressed by it.
First of all, this thing is huge, to be fair, this is my first 18650 mod, coming from 18500 mods.
The craftsmanship is not what I've expected from a mod in this price range, it has lots of sharp edges which easily would cut skin. The bottom of the mod has also two very sharp edges which are not covered very well. The stainless tube for the battery is not centered to the rest of the mod.
Button is in a great location, however, the stationary rim around it hinders sometimes to press the button all the way down to fire the mod.
The one thing I was concerned at the time I bought it turned out to function pretty well.... Its the gravity controlled menu.... Works like a charm.

I will use it a few more days, maybe I get used to it, if not, this one will be sold rather fast.....
