Hello everyone, Pizza Dave here, delivering you a two for one special review of the Tyro and Cosmo kits from Vaptio. I decided to toss these two together in one review because they are similar, yet different. Both of these use the Cosmo series of coils and offer a wide adjustment in air flow. However, that is where their similarities end. The Cosmo is a compact start kit, while the Tyro is a tubular style kit that uses a built-in tank and has more heft to it. I will dive down, look at the details of each, and as always, give my final thoughts at the bottom.
DISCLAIMER: This device and liquid was sent to me by Vaptio for review.

INFORMATION AND OPERATION
The Tyro kit is the latest device from Vaptio. It features a built in 1500mah battery and is a stick style device. The size of this device is similar to a Joyetech AIO. The tank on this device is fixed to the device, so while it can be torn down for cleaning, the base and airflow stay attached. Operation on this one is a simple 5 click on, 5 click off, and button fire device. There isn’t anything else to cover with that. The battery is indicated by an LED on the fire button. It will flash to indicate various faults and also will somewhat indicate battery life. From what I can tell though, it is a 2-stage battery indication. It illuminates white when battery is good and will go red when battery is low. While charging, the battery light will be red, and will be off when charged.

HOW IT VAPES/THOUGHTS
The Tyro is a nice little kit. It has a nice design and the paint finish looks great. The fill method is unique, as the top cap spins part way to reveal a fill hole that is roughly 4ml. It isn’t the fastest tank to fill, but it doesn’t leak, or seep and it eliminates the need to spin off the top. Air flow adjustment is one of the biggest standouts on this, as the top portion of the tank is spun to adjust airflow. It features a large slot air flow for a restricted lung hit, but it also narrows down even further, with two tiny holes for MTL style draws. It offers a ton of adjustment to fit many vaper’s needs. So now that the tank is filled and air is adjusted, how does if vape? I like it. Flavor is decent, the various adjustment is great, and it lasts me a whole day on a single refill and charge. I wish there was some better battery indication, but at least I know it can get me through the day without any issues. Other small cons also popped up the more I used it. The fire button doesn’t have a ton of texture and feels kind of cheap. I fumbled around to press the button just right, but eventually got used to it. Another con is coil life. I felt that the wicking was struggling to keep up once I hit about 10ml or so. It still worked, but I was getting dryer flavor on occasion. So, with all of the pros and cons out there, is this something that I will continue to use after review? I am leaning towards a yes here. I like the flavor, the size, and the overall design. I can see myself grabbing this for errands and using something like this for nights out at the bar where I don’t want to blow tons of clouds. Caveat to the yes answer is that I will be hard pressed to ever get coils locally, so it may be a struggle.
