Smoant Charon Mini 225w Tc Box Mod Review

The new Smoant Charon Mini 225w box mod is the much anticipated follow up to the hugely popular affect screen version only as mini mods go this 1 is pretty big in more means than ane!

Kickoff upwards most mini vape mods are considerably less powerful than this picayune pocket rocket – umm OK may not that pocket friendly every bit information technology'due south both powerful and quite big for a small ane…

The Smoant Charon Mini

Information technology's powered by x2 18650 batteries and features an absolutely stunning crystal clear screen with a option of very cool user interfaces and the usual Smoant wallpaper options.

Having not used either the Charon 218 TC or indeed the Charon TS 218 I'yard going in with fresh eyes and then to speak.

Ok this was sent to me for the purpose of review directly from Smoant – thanks – and equally e'er my thoughts and opinions are my own.

So given the Charon is the ferryman the dead have to pay to cross the river Hades is this 1 worth paying for?

Let's take a closer await…

Key Features

First upwardly and this is non a touchscreen like its older brother the Charon TS 218 however this piddling beauty does pack more of a punch maxing out at 225w – maybe…with a fleck of air current behind information technology 😉

Notwithstanding start thing of note is the extremely large 2 inch crystal clear screen and the option of 2 user interfaces equally well every bit a ton of wallpaper options – you lot will be able to upload your ain in a future firmware upgrade.

I didn't review the original so can't do size comparisons however it is not every bit tall equally virtually dual 18650 mods and certainly not every bit wide nonetheless I wouldn't call it the smallest mini vape mod device I've used and information technology is surprisingly heavy.

Every bit you'd expect from Smoant the bill of fare includes the usual power/wattage and temp command modes however it doesn't accept as many options as say the Cylon 218 making it a relatively simple device to apply.

The 510 is bound loaded and centred which is e'er a good thing however in this instance there's a raised lip that upwardly to 25mm tanks and atties sit down affluent on but larger ones leave a quite noticeable gap.

Non a lot more than to say about the features every bit it really is a pretty simple device to get to grips with.

Pattern and Build Quality

I received the full blackness version and design wise information technology looks OK if a niggling uninspiring – though I'm not so dandy on the splash of colour on the battery comprehend – more on the bombardment door in a wee while.

I will say the screen looks dandy as practise the perfectly placed upward and down buttons.

Withal the plastic fire push whilst clicky plenty feels a little cheap and the ridged pattern really adds nothing to the looks of the device – there's a slight rattle from it as well.

Build wise I had a few issues direct out of the box non only with the burn button rattle – but that bombardment door.

Mine moved a considerable amount to say the to the lowest degree.

Nosotros take contacted Smoant and they brash that this is the first time they have heard of an consequence with the bombardment encompass.

They also added that when the Smoant Charon Mini mod is set for sale next week (at the time of writing) they won't accept big movement equally we experienced. So, take that how you will.

We will be keeping an center out for production devices to see if this was indeed a 'one off' type of issue.

What I can say is I've checked a few other reviews and whilst some have had the slightest movement others have been rock solid.

Hopefully mine was simply a blip because otherwise the build quality is very good indeed.

BTW equally you can come across from the pic I fixed my movement with tape!

I do like the user interface and the car rev screen features a pair of animated cogs that adds a nice impact.

How Does the Smoant Charon Mini Perform?

The Smoant Charon Mini mod menu is equally intuitive as it gets and very like shooting fish in a barrel to access – whorl and cull your options so no issues there.

It'south pretty much instant firing too [0.015 seconds] and the usual min/norm/max ramp up options work very well and equally you'd expect from the Smoant Ant225 chip the temp control works very well indeed.

I had a play with the Curve options [setting your own ramp ups etc] and they certainly didn't fail merely as information technology'southward non something I tend to use I was happy with the 3 pre-programmed ones.

The screen is crystal clear to say the least and a pleasure to view and yous can adjust the brightness through the settings menu.

The only thing that has annoyed me is this is a real and I mean existent fingerprint magnet – as in fairness are most large glass screens – withal this 1 really does have a bit of polishing to get rid of any marks or juice smears.

Despite its rather indigestible design and weight it is actually quite ergonomic suitable for a thumb firing leftie or trigger finger firing right handers.

Pros

• Powerful for its size
• Instant firing
• Skilful/easy menu options
• Awesome screen
• Choice of UI
• Up to 25mm atties/tanks without overhang
• Firmware upgradeable
• Pass through vaping

Cons

• Fingerprint magnet
• No battery ribbon and it'south tight in there!
• Could be an result with bombardment door?

Terminal Review Verdict

Thw Smoant Charon Mini is quite a big 'mini modern' in both size – weight and power so practise bare that in mind if yous're looking for a small stealthy device!

I'grand gonna exist every bit brutally honest as always and say overall it doesn't 'do it' for me.

Not downward to whatsoever of the features or the way it performs – it certainly does its job very well indeed – it'southward only well a piddling underwhelming to look at in my humble opinion – autonomously that is from the screen which is crawly.

It feels similar it fires at the speed of light so no issues there and information technology certainly packs a punch even in normal mode.

Look, sometimes a modern jumps out at yous and feels fifty-fifty better in the hand but for me the Smoant Mini whilst a superb performing device just doesn't have the wow factor.

And trust me unless you deport around a textile the fingerprints will drive you nuts!

Non one I'd purchase but in all honestly it's a peachy performer that would accept been amazing a year ago if that makes sense…
