Introduction
Hugo Vapor are known for manufacturing devices that don't try to hide the fact they are design copies of previously released products but at more reasonable price's while (i can only talk about the couple of their devices i have used) still giving good performance. Of late they have released some products where they have used their talents to back their own designs most noticeably "The Ranger" which is a love it or hate it from an aesthetic point of view but whatever the opinion i found to be a damn good device. Here we have the Orbiter (to be honest not sure if this is 100% their design or a copy) a 230W ergonomic lightweight device that has all the features you would expect including full TC suite. The Orbiter comes in three catchy designs is able to accommodate 30mm atty's without overhang and has a colour screen which allows customisation, so let's crack on and give it a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Orbiter came in cardboard packaging and when opened i was disappointed to of received the Red Camo version which for the record is actually Pink and Salmon and looks terrible, after saying that it's just my misfortune and there is 2 other designs available which are Splatter which in my opinion looks ok and Flash which i think looks very nice. Probably the 2 most ergonomic forms are the curved to the contours of your hand type devices and the pistol grip style, the Orbiter combines the 2 and as a finger firer it doesn't get any more ergonomic than this. Picking the device up reveals it's very lightweight due to it's nylon construction and has a slight rubberised textured finish. One side of the device has a Black plastic trigger style fire button which although made of plastic doesn't look bad, the front of the device has a Black plastic panel which unfortunately does have a cheap look to it but it is what it is. The panel houses the colour screen, navigational buttons, mode button and central bottom the micro USB port. The spine of the device has 2 small venting holes towards the top and moving to the base we have the battery hatch door which has some grooves to help with grip for opening. Up top we have a large 510 plate with Star of David engraving, the 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded.

Fitting the Batteries
The Orbiter runs off dual 18650 batteries which are fitted via the bottom hatch door. Simply pull the door outwards slightly which releases it so it will open, no issues with the door it fastens securely and there is no movement or battery rattle. Marked battery orientation is very disappointing though with none inside the battery tubes and just press stamped onto the gold door contact so very hard to see.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Display
The display is quite sharp and bright plus the brightness can be adjusted, the background colour can also be customised which is a good job has mine came with a light Skyblue background as default and trying to read White information with such a light background was very difficult (what were they thinking? the light Skyblue shouldn't even be an option in my opinion because it just doesn't work). Anyway once altered to a more suitable background colour i like the display, we start at the top with your 2 battery bar status indicators, underneath this is the mode followed by your wattage (temperature when in temp control). Then on the left of the screen we have two icons, settings followed underneath by an info icon. To the right of the icons we have puffs, then volts (watts when in temp control) followed by the resistance of your coil. Finally at the very bottom of the display we have seconds vaped with a progress bar.
