Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the Havahali Firefly Kit. Please see bottom for disclaimers and links. Note: This is not marked as a sample.
Introduction:
The Havahali (or hava for short) Firefly Kit is the latest kit from new vape manufacturer Havahali. They are just getting started in vaping this year so hard to judge yet but i did review their hava one pod a few weeks ago. The Hava Firefly Kit is a kit that includes an internal battery firefly mod rated at 85 watts and the Hava Vtank as well which is a low to medium watt DTL tank with mesh coils. It’s available in 4 colors as a kit, Silver, Gold, Gunmetal, and Nebula Purple, however from the pictures they all appear to come with a SS tank instead of a matching one. The tank is available in 6 colors so not sure why they don’t match or if it’s just the way they did the pictures. Looking around online i see the kit priced around 60 USD and in stock at elementvape in the US.

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got this Kit, I really liked the design and thought the LED feature was well done and matching of the name “firefly” for sure. There seems to be a run on these kits as of late as well including an internal battery mod and a DTL sub ohm tank like the voopoo drag mini kit, eleaf nowos kit, and geekvape aegis mini kit. It’s a pretty basic mod with a good size screen and symmetrical design with an included tank that uses a mesh coil as well. Overall i liked this from the start.
Watt Mode Performance (chart and spreadsheet in picture album)
Now let’s get into some data. I ran my normal testing. I used the internal battery for the testing. Testing resistances were done at .13, .16, .2, and .6 ohms. wattage points were max (85), 60, 40 and 20. At .13 ohms it maxed out at 67 watts and 23 amps. For the rest of the testing it was quite low 3-11 watts. At .16 it maxed out at 71 watts. The rest of the testing was quite low again 2-10 watts. This mod struggles with anything under a .2 ohm resistance. For the .2 test it maxed out at 80 watts. The rest of the testing pretty solid but usually 3 watts low. For the .6 testing it maxed out at 90 watts and 7.363 volts. For the rest of the testing it hit on point to 4 watts high. The volts shows there is a boost circuit in this mod like all internal battery mods should have.
Overall I felt the performance of this mod was really just ok. It really works bets at .2ohm or higher and there it’s usually just a few watts off. I was able to get 90 watts max, so I consider it to be accurately rated at 85 watts even a little underrated but most internal battery mods can do that in a wide watt range where this one needed to be over .2 ohms to achieve that. The 7.363 volt limit shows there is a boost circuit and could be higher as i was capped off by the watt limit. I could not find any limit but a watt limit so I wish they would list all 3 personally. On this mod and the most amps i got was 23 with a .13 ohm coil which is a little below average for an internal battery mod (average is 25-30 these days). Watts was a good rating and no issues with the volt limits either.
Simplified TLDR Power Performance summary
Mod performance is just ok. Best used at .2 ohm or higher. Accurately rated for watts (90), Yes boost circuit, below average amp limit of 23. Volts tested at 7.363+ so just ok spec wise
Temperature Control Performance
Using SS316 wire in SS mode (there is no TCR mode or TCE adjustments), I tested 5 builds. 2 simple round single coil, 1 simple round dual Coil, 2 large fancy single coils builds. You can adjust the power but you have to do that by going to power mode and changing it there then going back to TC mode. That should have been made easier. With that said the performance on this mod was pretty solid. You do get the full wattage to adjust ramp up and the throttle is surprisingly good and not pulsey. The dry hit protection works pretty well too. It does seem to hit a little on the high side about 50 degrees or so high. Most people will find a warm vape around the 400F mark so I’d suggest starting low around 350F then dialing it up until you find what you like. Overall it’s a good performer in TC mode but does lack some features most mods have like TCR mode or TCR adjustments.
Other Usage Notes
The mod uses a standard 5 click of the fire button to turn on and off. There is no true menu system, but instead you click fire 3 times to cycle between modes. Modes are power (no preheat options) , and TC for Ni, Ti, and SS and Bypass mode. There is also an LED button above the adjustment buttons and you hold it down to enter the LED menu where you can program it and it has quite a few colors and modes which is nice and can also be turned off. The LEDs themselves shine through the semi-translucent body so when turned off, you wouldn’t even know this mod has LED lights. The lack of features and modes is a little disappointing. A simple TCR option and preheat options would have been nice and really are the bare minimum these days. Also a true menu system would have been nice as well. Holding down the up and down button re-reads resistance and up and fire locks the device. There is no way to lock just the adjustment buttons.
The Hava Firefly adjusts by 1 watt increments which i love and scrolls pretty fast. Well done there. One annoyance though is the adjustment buttons are backwards so the up button is on the left and not the right. I found that odd. The mod itself is built solid with no rattle at all, and really lightweight. Feels really good in the hand. It’s internal battery so no battery door. They don’t list a charge rate for the charging but i did some basic testing with an inline USB meter and the most i got was .75 A so i’d consider it a 1A charging device since they are usually rated in .5 A increments. They list the battery at 2000mah and I found the battery at around 1800mah so it’s slightly overstated but also slightly larger than the aegis mini when compared side by side in my testing which had a 2200mah rating from geekvape so this one is more accurately rated then that mod so not too bad. It also shows a battery percent while charging
The paint on the mod is really awful. You can clearly see in my pics above how the paint has chipped off of the back a lot and on the sides too. The translucent parts the LED shines through on chips way too easily. They should have just left it clear IMO which would have made the LEDs brighter and got rid of the chipping issue. The fire button is nice large and clicky fire button on the front of the mod. It works well and It never gets stuck or anything though which is as it should be. The 510 pin gave me no issues and every atomizer i used on it worked great with no gaps. It’s centered and he mod can easily handle a 25mm atomizer with room to spare and i can’t imagine anyone using one bigger than that on a mod like this. The screen is a nice size .96 inch black and white screen. It’s bright and easy to see and looks good enough. Also for branding the mod itself there is 0 visible branding. Not even a hava logo unless i’m blind. I really like that personally.
