The 75W Vaporesso TARGET TC Kit - written review (pic heavy)

[paulymeatballs]

Hi Everyone,



I was contacted by Evan from heavensgifts.com who asked me if I'd like to do a written review of the Target VTC kit by Vaporesso.

I jumped at the chance. I really wanted to try this because it looks so damn cool.







Now a decent proportion of you may be thinking - no Pauly it doesn't look cool , it looks ridiculous.

I'm not going to tell you you're wrong (even though you are ) This device has really divided people.

Some love it , some hate it.







It comes in several finishes - black , white and steel so far with more to come.



It comes with

1 x Target tank with a cCELL coil (0.2ohm cCELL Ni200 pre-installed)

1 x Target 75W Box Mod

1 x Extra replacement cCELL Kanthal coil (0.9ohm)

1 x USB cable

1 x User Manual







Lets have a look at the mod first.







Mod Dimension: 92x 48x 27 mm

Temp Range: 150 - 315 °C / 300F - 600F

OutPut Wattage: 5W - 75W

Minimum Resistance : 0.15ohm

Battery cell type: 1x 18650 battery (not included)

Casting: Zinc Alloy and Stainless steel

Thread: 510 Thread

Display: OLED









At the base of the mod we see some vent holes and a micro usb charge port:







Dunno if you can see by thiese pics but I think the brushed steel effect is just a coating - it doesn't feel like a steel device , it's rather light.







But that form factor though , it's totally unique looking and feels very comfortable in the hand. I love the trigger switch , it's very clicky and responsive.







The display is bright and clear.

It's a simple 3 button control with no confusing menus.







You can lock the device , flip the display , lock the resistance and change from VW to TC (Ni only).

In TC mode you can't adjust the wattage so you're stuck at 70W

That's not ideal for me but it's fine for subtanks and it's working very nicely at 450f.









These little details and things around the top of the mod are for decorative purposes , I'd like to see that black section as another switch though.







The threads at least appear to be real steel , they feel very solid with a spring loaded 510. Every atty I've tried has fired just fine.









The textured grip section is smart , it's also the battery cover , held on very firmly by 2 magnets. (as with all high power box mods - a quality high drain battery is required)











The tab at the top part of the cover slots into the mod. I fear for the longevity of this little tab as a certain amount of pressure is required to remove the cover.



Spring loaded positive pole - no probs with this compartment.







So that's about it for the mod , It doesn't feel weighty or chunky but it's a unique looking device that's been working perfectly for me. I really like it







On to the tank!







Tank Size: 22 (D) x 62mm (L)

Tank volume: 3.5ml







This is a rather ordinary looking sub-ohm tank - it's bottom fill with adjustable airflow. Easily to take apart for cleaning.







It comes with 1 x kanthal 0.9ohm coil

and 1 x 0.15ohm ni200 coil.



(they're gold plated for some reason)







The are the CCell heads made by Vaporesso and they're pretty unique. They feature a single vertical coil which is incorporated into a solid ceramic wick:







I'd tried ceramic coils before and thought they sucked big time.

The flavour was great but they just couldn't keep up with the wicking.



These new ones are quite different though.

The flavour is really spot on , very clean.



They wick very well (I saw on another reviewers vid that he managed to dismantle a coil and found the hard ceramic shell (which the coil is kind of fused into) is surrounded by a wad of cotton.

It certainly explains why it wicks so well.

TBH it even overwicked for me , leading at times to unwanted gurglage.









Conclusion .





The tank is a bit blah but those coils are pretty interesting and the flavour is really something else.

The mod is behaving very nicely in VW and TC mode and I think it looks amazing.

Overall it's a very distinctive kit with some innovative touches that's really performing.

Thanks for reading , have a great day!

Looking at those coils they look a bit similar to Atlantis/Triton/Melo coils - might see if they fit in those tanks, have sent off for the black one so hopefully will be able to try out soon, I have been thinking about an alternative to cotton/rayon/muji etc for a while now because the TP on things like the DNA40 cuts in too quick unless you set the Temp above the burn temp of the material which of course defeats the TP.

EDIT: and according to this site they are the same as the Atlantis etc coils: www.vanguardsmoke.com/5pcs-vaporesso-ceramic-ccell-replacement-coil-p-451.html

Good job paulymeatballs - excellent pics and info as per usual

Received mine yesterday. I needed a new smaller device to replace me eleaf 50W and compliment the Reuleaux - great as it is sometimes smaller (and lighter) is more convenient. Chose the same colour scheme as yours - and it's a delightfully simple, single 18650 VW device, that's very hang friendly. Possibly the comfiest 18650 walk around device i've used of the VV/VW style. Looks good with the Aqua FX too.

The tank as Pauly says, is a simple (but well made) 3.5ml-ish sub ohm tank, with bottom fill. Worth mentioning that my FT 'Aspire' Kanthal coils don't fit it - they appear to be slightly wider in diameter. Air flow is slightly stiff, but stays put, so acceptable.

I replaced the installed Kanthal coil with the Ni one (reads 0.17 on the device) as was interested and tbh haven't really played with TC that much. The TC bit is easy to adjust - does do the new/old tank ting - but as RIP mentioned doesn't auto detect (well actually it did once - but never again ). Having played around now have it set at 280 C. The Flavour is very good, clean - but to get the most out of it i am going back to my old genesis habits of fire, sizzle inhale. Not a biggie, as it's pretty much all in one motion. Vapour production is good, but i'm not a cloud chaser, and the FX can certainly produce more. One of the reasons i'm saving the Kanthal coil is to try and then compare it in the Anyvape Furytank vs a normal Kanthal .5 and the Clapton coils i'm hoping to get in Shenzhen.

Both the Vaporesso tank and FX, to me, sit flush on the device, with no obvious gap. Comparing power to the Reuleaux certainly seem on a par - using the FX and FX clone as comparison with the same builds.

All in all nice device, OK tank and interesting coils - worth the £40ish i paid
Looking forward to trying the cCell's in other devices - and have 10 on their way from FT via Ireland - just hope the 'controversy' is sorted by the time i get them (another reason for going with the TC - in the back of me mind anyway )

Think one of my boys has started vaping.....



Edit... Nope, just looked, it was his toy car remote control.

[digicig]

The Vape from the cCells is fairly cool - i generally prefer a warmer vape - so cranked it up to 315C and Flavour unimpaired, but the warmth factor has hit the spot. Haven't checked the 'safety' limit on the coil - if there are any

Function over form @letsavit - although the Target has a form factor that fits and feels great in the hand - i liked the elfeaf 50w but am preferring the Target for out and about to even that. The only device that i've used that is hand friendlier is possibly my old GLV
