sourcemore sent me the Digiflavor Z1 SBS kit for the purpose of this review.
Side by sides are super popular lately, and for good reason. Their compact size packs all the function of a mod + atomizer into basically the size of a modest mod. Sometimes, that form means giving up some features. Sometimes, it means a proprietary tank and committing to a meager selection of drop in coils, but the Z1 is not going to fence you in. The rebuildable deck makes it a cinch to customize it to your preference, or you can use your favorite atomizer up to 24mm – although, as good as the included Siren 3 GTA is, you may not want to swap it out.
In the box you get:
The Siren 3 GTA has a small but easy to build deck, and the coils that are included are 2 and 2.5mm ID, from 1.2 ohms down to .5. The are NI80 which is not my thing, but I grabbed a .5 and dropped it in. Why I don’t care for NI80 is I can taste it, and it interferes with the flavor for me. But I can say that the Siren has such good flavor, I don’t even notice any difference between this and my usual SS316. And they come in a nice little box, so they’re in perfect shape when you go to use them.
The cap twists off with a half turn to reveal the generous fill ports, and the air flow offers a wide range of adjustment. It’s considered MTL, but I get a decent restricted DL with it wide open. It has a two-sided air flow ring, one small hole and one large – it’s easier to show than tell how that works.
Mod Features:
The menu – click Fire 5 times to turn the mod on and off. Press Fire 3 times to enter the menu, and use + or – to switch between wattage, voltage, and bypass modes. Press the + and – to lock the adjustments, and with the adjustments locked, you can also lock the fire button by pressing it 3 times. To unlock just press Fire 3 times, then unlock the + and – by pressing both.
The body is made of zinc alloy and the finish is nice. It’s odd though, that there are three metal colors. The color I got is called Silver Grey Scallop Shell. The main body is almost a gunmetal, the battery cap and Digiflavor logo plate on the side are closer to sandblasted pewter, and the battery tube is stainless steel. It’s actually not a bad design element, and the cap and plate match the tank really well. The abalone is not real abalone though – it’s more than a sticker, like some sort of thin panel. It looks nice at any rate, not cheap or cheesy. The screen is tiny, but clear enough to read. It doesn’t have enough room to show anything but the basics, but that’s all I need. Seems to help with battery life, which is really good.
I do find the threading on the battery cap a little crunchy, and you have to press down on it a little to get it to catch – it’s spring loaded. That, and the too-long metal drip tip of the Siren, are my only complaints. I swapped out the drip tip for a pink 510 from my collection and have been really enjoying this little kit.
Use code Z1SBS to get this kit for $50.30.
