Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Wildwolf 235W TC MOD from Hcigar. The Hcigar Wildwolf 235W TC MOD was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.
Hcigar Wildwolf
Introduction
Hcigar have been producing vaping mods for quite a while now and rather than being prolific tend to release devices that are always worth a look at the very least. Here we have the Wildwolf, a device that has all the features vapers would need while the inclusion of a mode button makes it one of the easiest devices to navigate. The Wlidwolf is both a looker and feels great in the hand and has a top wattage of 235w (cough! Cough!). Featuring a full TC suite, variable wattage and Voltage as well as both wattage and temperature curves, so let's take a closer look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Wildwolf comes in cardboard packaging and on opening the box i found the device was fitted with a good quality, tight fitting Black silicone sleeve. I received the blue version, other colour options include Red, Silver, Black and Silver Black. The device is very light at just 103g which is because the main body is plastic but you really can't tell by either looking or feeling the device as it has a rubberised texture and sublime iridescent finish, the blue version i received as the light catches it gives varying shades of both deep blue and purple. The front of the device has a horizontal pill shaped Black fire button towards the top with the centre square section raised and the curved sides tapered. Central we have a square screen and below this is the Black protruding navigational and mode buttons, finally at the bottom is the micro USB port. The back of the device has "HCIGAR" printed in Silver on the vertical which will not be everyone's cup of tea but i quite like it. The Black Zinc alloy base of the device is the battery hatch door which has some raised texture to help to slide it open and both branding and safety marks printed. The top of the device is also Zinc alloy with a Black finish, we have a centrally positioned Black 30mm 510 plate with a Silver plated, spring loaded 510. Both the build quality and finish is top notch and the form factor is a very ergonomic oval much like the SX Mini G Class and Voopoo X217.
Note: The iridescent rubber type texture does not show up on the photos, in real life the finish is much deeper and matte rather than the gloss look on the photos.

Fitting The Batteries
As time as gone on bottom hinged battery doors have got better and better and a really good job has been done on the Wildwolf. To open just slide out and lift up and while open any play is minimal, battery orientation on the door is Black on Black but it is so brightly and clearly labelled at the bottom of the battery tubes on this occasion it really doesn't concern me. Once the door is shut with the batteries installed the door is very secure and their is no battery rattle whatsoever, cracking job!
___________________________________________________________________
The Display
The Wildwolf has an HD colour screen allowing for a very sharp display which is very bright. The display design to me looks a bit like a cauldron with the curved sides being the battery status bars labelled "A" and "B". The top of the display we have the mode you are in then central with left orientation we have the watts, voltage or temperature depending which mode you are in (when in temp control we also have the wattage displayed below the temperature). Central with left orientation we have the resistance followed by voltage (which displays wattage output when in variable voltage mode) and then amps. At the bottom of the display we have the preheat, curve type or metal type when in temp control. When using custom curves, the curve graph is displayed central on the screen.
