SERIES-B Tilt Voted Best Box Mod by Gizmodo

JAC Vapour's SERIES-B Tilt has been picked as Best Box by Gizmodo - the authority on all things tech.

The SERIES-B combines a sleek design and powerful feature set to create a device which offers top-class performance. Designed and engineered in the UK, it's the fruit of our own R&D team's labours.

Their review, in which they praise the SERIES-B's looks and performance, confirms what we already knew, but it's always nice to hear it from such a trusted and knowledgeable source.

The Best Box Mods: Next-Level Vaping Beyond E Cigs

Looking to move up in the vaping world? It's time to start considering the best box mods. I've already rounded up a range of entry level, mass market e-cig devices, the best e-cig 'eGo' devices that people just starting out with vaping might pick up to test the waters. Now attentions are being turned to the ever growing market of box mod vaping kits, which represent a step up in vaping quality experience and customisation for the more serious user. If you're looking to upgrade to one of the best box mods, this should help you find the one for you.

The Best Box Mods: Testing Methodology

I spent at least a week using each of the following five box mod units, carrying them around with me and using them as would any regular vaper. To standardise the review I will be testing the box units in relation to how they perform with the Aspire Cleito sub-ohm tank. Across the board I found that the Cleito was a better performing tank than the ones supplied with Aspire, the Vapouriz and the Innokin kits; the other two, from Jac Vapour and KangerTech, were box-only kits.

Although we aren't all cloud-chasing bro-vapers, the vapour production of each box mod unit is taken well into consideration, seeing as one of the main advantages of box mods – especially sub-ohm ones – is how much more powerful at producing vapour they are over 'eGo'-style basic e-cigs. Alongside vapour production, design and functionality are also top of the list for the box-mods' positive points.

First Place: Jac Vapour Series-B Tilt

The Jac Vapour Series-B Tilt quite literally stands out from the crowd. The slanting top to the box is quite a subtle feature, one that is predominantly designed to tilt the tank towards the user’s mouth for slightly easier access to sweet sweet vapour, but also just makes the whole thing look so good, and slightly more compact than its peers.

It’s certainly not the biggest box unit but it has a reassuring weightiness that makes it feel premium and the materials used are of a really high standard. The brushed metal battery cover, which neatly attaches to the unit by being magnetised, sits nice and flush to the rubberised plastic that forms most of the box’s design.

The screen is pretty small compared to the most others I have seen; glasses-wearers without their specs might have trouble seeing the smaller ohm, voltage and battery figures. Handily, you can switch the output reading to show either wattages or volts, with volts obviously being quicker to flick through with an X.X read-out (but less granular control over firepower) compared to the more customisable XX.X figuration of watts.

A potential downside is that the microUSB slot for charging is placed at on the base of the Series B Tilt, meaning you can’t charge the device while it’s standing up, instead having it lie down horizontally. To be fair though, I was using the Nitecore UM20 charger to rejuice the 18650 mod battery, thus avoiding the issue. Of course battery life varies with usage and voltage, but I easily got two days of usage out of the Tilt in between charges.

But on the matter of the all important vaping, the Series B Tilt produces a really consistent and enjoyable vapour through the Aspire Cleito tank. There’s no propriety Jac Vapour tank with which to compare the experience, but anyone looking to buy the Series-B Tilt could do much worse than pairing it with the Cleito; it’s an attractive, solid and effective combination of tank and box and deserves this top spot.
