A Must Have For Side by Side Users

Techmod 80 Watt SBS

I have been using the Kizoku Techmod every day now for a solid six weeks, and I must say that I am very very impressed. The high quality design and flawless machining make this a pleasure to own and use. It uses a single 18650 battery and can accept the atomizer of your choice up to 24mm. It has a side fire button that is perfectly placed to be able to use with both hands. It’s small compact design makes it fit nicely in the hand and easily in your pocket for travel. It has all the needed protections built into the proprietary chipset. Type C charging on board not that I recommend charging your batteries this way but a very nice addition.

PROS

This side by side offers all 4 modes (VW, VV, TC and Bypass) to suit anybody’s needs. I cannot speak to VV or TC as I do not use them but VW and Bypass modes work flawlessly. VW range is 5 to 80 watts and is smooth across the board. Bypass modes runs as you would expect as a semi regulated mechanical would.
The 18650 battery can easily last a couple days at low wattages but at higher wattage ranges will need to be replaced often. The battery directions are clearly marked with a red positive symbol on the bottom of the tube and the negative etched into the batter cap.
The menu is easy to navigate making it easy to switch between modes. Locking and unlocking the + and - buttons is easily done and a must if you carry it in your pocket or with something else in your hand.
It is available in 4 different color options. White and stainless, black and stainless, black on black and my favorite black and gunmetal. This means that of you are like me and your atomizer must match your mod they have got you covered.

CONS

I do have a couple of nit picky things that I would have done differently. These are just from a personal stand point and do not take away from the device itself.
First abs foremost it really should have been a 21700 design. It would not have made the mod much different in size and would have increased battery life in the higher wattage ranges.
Second, the battery cap. Personally I do not care for these as I have larger hands but I often find myself struggling to get it back on after changing the battery. This is not due to the threading or the quality of the build, just that there is not much room with the atomizer to get it started.

FINAL THOUGHTS

All in all this little side by side is a must have for those who enjoy them. Although personally I did find a couple things I would change, the fit and finish was perfectly executed by Kizoku. They build quality and machining is amazing. I would definitely own this in multiple colors. I hope that Kizoku will improve upon this with maybe some upgradable firmware in the future. If I lost mine today, it is one that I would immediately run out and buy again..
