Sub ohmning lung hitters may wish to avoid this one.


I was a fan of the Spheroid ever since I tried one at a meet some three years or more ago. I now have two, one an ageing third hand V1 or 2 and one newish V3. Why did I like them? FLAVOUR. At the time of their coming I still think they were the best atomiser of its type for flavour.

A couple of limitations. Well maybe more than a couple. Tiny deck. Original screws on the V1 weren't good. Filler material which made it feel like an expensive cartomiser. It's form factor suited slim mods which generally take a small mAh 14500 battery (or in my case a Gus mode taking 14650s). Fixed airflow, though airy lung hits weren't really the thing back then.

I bought a Mini iStick with the 18500 extender which was better though only the V1 would fit the bugger

Now I am a big fan of the Heron, made by the same manufacturer especially in 'non filler' mode. Awesome flavour and the kind of mellow vape I prefer. I have often hoped that Vapourart would make a Spheroid version which emulated the Heron.

Well they have in the V4. And I want one. The deck looks ok. It has a 'cyclops' air control just like the Heron. It can be used without filler, just like the Heron and holds more juice as a consequence.

Never come across this reviewer before but the tutorial is a good intro to how it works. He talks about sthe 'massive' airflow and lung hitters will like it. Hmm not with a 14500 please folks! But an adjustable airflow I'm happy with and I usually coil 1.2-1.4 on these

Certainly sounds like some improvements have been made... the tiny airflow through the base is the biggest issue with the old ones...
 
If they made a 14650 mod I'd never have got rid of the V3. Wonderful flavour.

It was always a tight draw, which suited me back then. I'm used to a little more now and I'm hoping it will be similar to the Heron

The Gus isn't bad but yes a 14650 Piccollo would be sweet

You can also use a mesh build....

I gave up on my v3 and this looks a lot better, especially the Piccoloid, what a great form factor! Lovely vape for the top shirt pocket.

Is a single 3mm air hole enough? Maybe if you like toking for 8-9 seconds at a time ... I've other devices with 2 x 3mm airholes that I would consider to be a restricted lung hit. Despite Qorax's enthusiasm Mark 's got it right, the Spheroid isn't about lung hitting.

A Piccoloid in my Xmas stocking, Santa? Yes please! Would I buy one? Nope.
 
Looks really good to me.
I drilled out my Spheroid v3 deck intake to 1.5mm, really nice MtL now.
