Words : Peach Atkinson
Vaporesso has a reputation for designing reliable and stylish devices whilst keeping up with the ever-evolving features of vaping hardware . The GTX GO 40 looks similar to many other pen style vapes , with the classic cylindrical shape and petite size . It has just one button as well as a USB C port . The outside is incredibly sleek and understated , adding further to its user-friendly nature . I simply loved the no-nonsense aesthetic of this kit which is available in several colours and finishes including metallic rainbow , matte black and bright red . This device is discreet and pocket-friendly . It feels solid to hold and has a well-balanced lightweight feel to it , yet still retains a good level of build quality . By no means does it feel cheap or run of the mill . A single fire button on the side is used to vape and also allows you to switch the device on or off by pressing it five times . Press the button three times , and you can cycle through three different power settings : red - low , blue-medium and green-high , all indicated by the LED light behind the fire button . I thought that this was a nice touch allowing vapers to choose their preferred power settings when vaping . The GTX GO 40 features an internal 1500mAh battery which lasted me almost a full day of light-to-moderate usage . It can be charged swiftly via a one amp USB-C and battery life is indicated by LED lights behind the fire button , Green ( 70-100 percent ), Blue ( 30-70 percent ) and Red ( 0-30 percent ). The magnetic pod sits tightly and flush on the top of the kit , with absolutely no looseness or rattling . Airflow is easily adjusted by rotating the pod and this kit works great for all inhale types , from a super-tight MTL straight through to a relatively loose DTL . The pod is also very straightforward to fill . The top part is loosened by unscrewing anti-clockwise , revealing a small rubber fill port that works great at keeping leakages at bay . I really appreciated that the glass was fully transparent , allowing me to easily see how full the tank was , removing any chances of overfilling . This kit comes with only one coil included , something I saw as a minor inconvenience . However , the supplied 0.6 Ohm mesh coil was rated between 20-30W and delivered decent flavour and modest vapour . Coil longevity is what you ’ d expect for typical sub ohm vaping with high VG e-liquids , and lasted me roughly a week before dying out . Vaporesso boasts a wide range of compatible coil heads , ranging from 0.3 Ohm mesh up to 1.2 Ohm MTL . I had no leakages whatsoever , nor any overt condensation forming under the tank , another great aspect of this well-rounded kit . To say I was impressed would be a vast understatement . This kit has cemented its place in my arsenal of devices , and deservedly so .
PROS
- A great choice for new vapers - Solid build quality - Easy to operate - Very affordable
CONS
- Battery life could be better - It ’ d be great if another coil was included with the kit
- Lightweight - Easy to see the e-liquid level in the tank
