Alright guys. We are back again with a hardware review.
This was sent out for the purpose of this review so thanks to Sophia over @Wismec for the chance to try this out. All opinions expressed here are those of my own and no one else's.
So I introduce you to the Luxotic DF squonker
First let's look at what you get in the box.
So in the box you get
The Luxotic DF mod
The Guillotine V2 Rda
1 spare squonk bottle and pipe
2 0.28ohm Clapton coils
Cotton
Spare drip tip
Usb cable
Bag of spares
And all the usual bit of paper no one looks at.
Guillotine V2 Rda
This is a dual post rda but the coils share the same hole on each post. The airflow is directed towards the coils so coil placement is gonna be important if you want to get the best out of it. I have my coils directly over where the airflow enters the Rda and I'm quite happy with the flavour. It comes fitted with the squonk pin but has a standard pin also included. It comes with a short stubby 810 drip tip (which i don't like) and it has a taller 810 drip tip included (Which I also don't like) so I've swapped to a drip tip I do prefer.
The Luxotic DF Mod
This is a dual 18650 200w regulated squonk mod. With a large fire button also with a large screen displaying all the info you need like the wattage, ohm, volt, puff counter and individual battery levels. The batteries and bottle go in via the battery door on the base of the mod (a bit more on that later). On the back of the mod you have your finger hole for the bottle. There is a removable cover that surrounds the bottle which is held on with magnets (also more on this later)
3 clicks of the fire button and you can scroll through the power options, wattage, temp no, tcr.
5 clicks on and off
Hold +&- to lock the power
Hold fire button and - for stealth mode
Hold fire and + and you can turn the logo on and off.
So my thoughts and usage of the kit.
So I coiled up the guillotine rda with the supplied coils with the pair coming out at 0.14 ohm. I've been using it around 70 watts with the airflow wide open and I'm getting a pretty good vape. So all in all I'm happy with the rda.
So my thoughts on the mod . This is where things take a bit of a turn. The removable bottle cover rattles. I have found no way of picking it up and using the mod with out it making a noise. Which annoys me so much. I've had no leaking from the bottle. So let's move on to the next issue I have with this. When your bottle is empty you have to open the battery door to remove it. Which is all fine and well if your sat down but if your trying to do it while out and about beware of your batteries falling out. You can pull the bottle out from the back of the mod but it is a bit tricky putting it back in without getting juice all over the shop. Had the hole in the back been a bit bigger it would help and maybe make the rattle bearable. But it has been performing well. Comparing the size of the mod to the rx DNA 200 it is much the same but the DF is a bit shorter.
Fix the rattle and sort out a better way to remove the bottle this would be a great mod. Battery life has been average for vaping at 70-80 watts
Let's look at some pros and cons.
Pros.
It's a well performing regulated squonk
Good flavour from the rda
Large easy to read screen
Cons
The rattle from the back cover needs sorted.
The way you have to open the battery door to remove the bottle is a pain in the ass.
Of set 510 so 24mm is the max you can fit without overhang.
Price point for the mod is
$96.46-115
