REVIEW BY JAMES PARNELL COLT MINI 80w SPECS: Zinc alloy construction Output wattage: 7-80W Temperature range: 100’C-300’C/200’F-600’F Resistance range: 0.1-3.0 ohm (KA mode)/0.05- 1.0ohm (Ti/Ni 200/SS316/TCR mode) Max. output voltage: 8.5V Max. output current: 30A Output mode: KA/TC-SS316/TC-Ni200/TC-Ti/TCR 2000mAh built-in battery DESIGN 10/10 BUILD QUALITY 10/10 USABILITY 10/10 THE COLT MINI KIT IS HERE, AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! The kit comes with the 80W colt mini and an H8 mini tank. The mod is built from a zinc alloy, so it is quite heavy for its small size. The device comes with a seven-colour finish on both mod and tank. The mod has a small screen with a compact layout. Each button on the colt is of a reasonable size and has a nice press. The mod has a maximum wattage of 80W, powered by a compact internal 2000mAh battery. This is charged via the micro-USB port on the right face. The kit looks very impressive with a gun grip feel from the markings on the sides of the mod and the 2ml tank on the top, both regimented in colour. The H8 mini tank has a solid construct. The top fill design has a slide- to-open top that reveals the drip hole. I like the design but due to the tank being small it can make it awkward to fill with larger bottles. The tank also features large airflow holes on the base making for optimum airflow, carrying the flavour better. The tank also has a wide-bore mouth tip to really get the most out of the flavour. Paired together, the mod and the tank work beautifully giving a strong, steady power output and a consistent, great flavour. The performance of the device is controllable with the various output modes. This makes it a very durable kit. The taste modes on the mod are very helpful to reach full flavour potential of the juice, this also makes the mod more adaptable to other tanks that are capable of a higher instant wattage output, if you like to play with wattage ranges. Overall the kit is smart and compact, perfect for travelling or day-to- day vaping. I am very impressed with the flavour output of this kit. The wattage output is impressive for the size, but although the device is small the in-hand, the comfort is nice and the button placements are ergonomic. The only thing I would improve on is the slide-to-open tank. I think the cap needs around 4mm extra to allow more room for bigger bottles to fill the tank. VM16 | 171
