The device is a plastic box (with a rubberized finish) VVmod, similar in functionality with the Lavatube with some improvements.

Decent box with a short user manual that has some mistakes -explained later.

Different from Lavatube (LT from now on): ON/OFF button 5 clicks activation during a 3 seconds window. Probably this is a better pocket protection than the long press in LT (v1). Different in feel than the ego batteries because the 5 clicks must be very fast (I have the impression that the time to do the clicks is more like 2 seconds). The display shows ON and OFF - nice feature.
The + and – buttons increment and decrement the voltage by 0.1V from 3V to 6V and back similar to LT. Different is the fact you can hold the buttons and it varies the voltage up or down without the need to click for very increment/decrement (similar to the adjustments for electronic clocks) – nice feature. By pressing both buttons it does not lock the voltage, a feature that anyway I did not use in LT. The display as with the LT goes off after 3-4 seconds. If you need to recheck the preset voltage you have to press either one of the +or – buttons this action will also have the unwanted effect of increasing/decreasing the voltage by 0.1V.
The display is LCD white digits on dark blue background with a white border – nicer and more visible than the LT.
Pressing the ON/OFF button once (with the device ON) the display shows the resistance of the vaping element (cartos, etc) for about 3 –4 seconds followed by the voltage of the battery for another 3 seconds. The ohm symbol for resistance and V for battery voltage are also displayed with small fonts at the right of the value.
The fire button, located on top is somehow similar to the LT, about the same size but travel distance seems slightly longer. It is also a click style button. When you fire a blue LED illuminates the ON/OFF button (There is no choice in disabling it).
The reverse battery protection works.
The low battery protection kicks at 3.4 V a little too soon in my opinion (and slightly sooner than the LT). It is said that this feature prolongs the overall battery life. The display shows LO-V.
Low Resistance indicator – for output resistance below 1.2 ohm by pressing the ON/OFF button the display shows LOW Ohm (from the user manual – not verified because the smallest carto I have has 1.25 Ohm). I actually think that probably for any resistance smaller than 1.2 Ohm the short circuit protection kicks in and acts accordingly.
Short-circuit indicator works – the device does not fire and displays LO Ohm (and not as stated in the user manual).
