Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Diamond due to being designed to house 20700 batteries is quite a large device and construction is mainly metal, which i'm guessing is Zinc Alloy making it quite heavy, it is also quite broad with it's diamond shaped front and back panels. The shape is rectangular with cut corners and also has a diamond effect fire button so i wrote off the ergonomics on this device before handling but i couldn't be more wrong. Despite it's size and mentioned fire button it feels great in the hand and the fire button feels nice, it might not look it but it is ergonomically IJoy's best device. The central chassis is Black and has panels in the colour of choice front and back, the panel is fixed on the front, with the back panel being removable to fit your batteries. On both these panels we have diamond shaped black mirrored finish perspex panels fitted, making the device very nice to look at but a fingerprint magnet. The back panel has a diamond printed centrally and the word "DIAMOND" printed underneath, both sides of the device has no features on the Black chassis apart from towards the top one side the already mentioned fire button. On the upper tip of the diamond on the front we have "IJOY" printed and lower tip houses the USB port. Either side of the USB port following the contours of the design we have triangular left and right buttons and housed centrally is the large OLED screen (i'm guessing it's 1.3 inch but the specs on IJoys site as you will see in the following spec sections are not very detailed). The base of the device has safety stamps and very generous venting, moving to the top we have a centre mounted, spring loaded, gold plated 510. I received the mirrored blue version which looks stunning but there are plenty of matte and mirrored colour options available. The build quality is very good apart from a slight rattle when shook from the left and right buttons. I have seen a couple of other reviews where you can clearly hear the button rattle and it was mentioned IJoy promised it will be fixed, i have the retail version and while the rattle is nowhere near as bad there is still a slight rattle, i guess IJoy's definition of fixed differs from everyone else's.

Captain X3S Overview
The included Captain X3S is just another Captain tank for which there has been many reviews. The X3S is identical to the X3 apart from it is slightly shorter and no bubble glass, also it comes with the same shaped delrin drip tip which other Captain tanks come with rather than the straight patterned drip tip that comes with the X3. While it would of been nice to see the release of a new tank to go with the diamond, it was an easy option to go with the Captain as the texturing and style of the captain does suit the device well. The Captain, in it's many forms isn't outstanding but is a very solid nice looking sub-ohm tank with available coils that do give good flavour at quite high wattage's. Personally by choice i tend to vape at 60w max and most of the time between 30W and 40w but like i said i do find good flavour with the higher wattage Captain. Included is the pre-installed X3-C1 0.4 rated at 60w-90w which i didn't use on this occasion as both coils i've tried many times so swapped for the also included X3-C2 0.3 rated at 60w-100w which i prefer. I used other tanks with the diamond but did use the X3-C2 coil to see if there was any performance difference between the X3S and the X3, as expected the experience was identical and i enjoyed good flavour and cloud at 70w. Included with the X3S is a 510 adaptor and if you wish to fit your own 810 it needs to be one with o-rings. The X3S has the usual top-fill system, just push where you see the word "PUSH" and the top slides open revealing your fill port, once filled the top can be pushed back into position where it fastens securely. The one disappointment to me is that no spare glass comes with the tank which is becoming quite a common thing with kits.
