Vaporesso Armour Max
Today I bring you a 220W box mod that supports dual 18650/21700 batteries. It is the new Vaporesso mod, the Armor Max, I warn you in advance that this monster is like a tank, it can hold whatever you want, it weighs a ton, it is durable, robust... Let's start the review but not before thanking the supplier of this product.
Big thanks to Kavis from Sourcemore for making this review possible. You have the product on the website available for $51.39 dollars but I have a code for you. If you use the code VAMM you will get the product for only $40.19, I recommend you take a look at it
Disclaimer; Nobody nor any brand is paying me to do this review, all you will see are my most sincere opinions, both the positive and the negative.
I leave you some photos by which you can guide yourself to have a clearer and simpler idea of the product, in any case we will get into it in detail later.
I attach here some tables with features and specs, remember that this review will only be about the mod, nothing about iTank, in fact, I will be using an RDA atomizer from Hellvape.

Packaging And First Impressions
The product comes in a black rectangular box with green accents, which is usually representative of Vaporesso lately. On the front we see a photo of the product in question. I have no idea if each packaging shows the specific color so I won't mention that. At the top we see the brand and at the bottom the name of the product/model. If you buy the complete kit with the tank, the packaging will probably differ a little.
Behind what we find first are the product specifications, the contents of the box follow and finally addresses to contact Vaporesso. At the bottom we see a barcode and warning symbols.
In the box;
1* Vaporesso Armour Max Mod
2* 18650 Sleeve ( Inside the MOD )
1* Type-C Cable
1* User Manual
1* Safety Manual
1* Reminder Card
On one of the sides we simply find the scratch on a green background to verify if our product is real or is some type of copy. In that case we must contact Vaporesso directly to solve it.
On a green background again, we are shown the main features of the product, nothing that we have not discussed yet. These features will later be discussed in more detail.
In general, I quite like the Vaporesso packaging. I think the combination of green and black is a good idea and I love how they get to the point without getting too winded.

As soon as we open the box, the first thing we find is the MOD in a hole made for its size. I love it because at first glance it is as if the mod was fat, robust, practically like a tank and we will see later that it is.
Device Inspection
The first thing we observe is that it is a rectangular-shaped mod, being taller than wide as is usually the case. In it we differentiate two clear parts, one made of some kind of metal and another made of an anti-slip rubber. We are talking about the silver part and the black part respectively.
Let's talk about the button, which is the first thing that comes to our eyes as it is a totally different color. I am 100% with Vaporesso with the idea of making this button. It is a very large button that can be pressed with incredible ease. Also, depending on the color combination you choose, it can look good. In my opinion, the green with the orange button would look horrible, but in this case I chose it according to my tastes. Additionally, this button can be used to lock the mod. If it is down it means that we can vape and if it is up it would be blocked. In any case, there is a little padlock that marks it but it is not visible in the photo. Don't worry about it being blocked automatically, you have to exert a good amount of force to raise or lower it so it won't happen involuntarily.
If we continue going down we find the screen and the buttons, we will talk about these later in more detail, right now we are only describing the appearance of the product itself. Both buttons are very large and click when pressed, which I love.
Finally, at the bottom we find the Type-C charging port, although it is advisable to charge it with an external charger.
In general, this front part has me in love. It looks chubby, robust and at the same time formal and striking. It has me totally hooked and I must say that Vaporesso is responsible for this.
If we look at the side we see in more detail the rubber part I was talking about. This part has specific shapes to make its grip more comfortable and anti-slip, in addition to making it much more durable against knocks and so on. I assure you that it is very comfortable and even though it has this rubber thing, it weighs a ton. Still, it feels divine in hand.
At the back we find the same structure as at the front. Part of some metal and part of rubber. In the center we read VAPORESSO in large, I think this detail could have been omitted completely but brands like branding, anyway, it doesn't look bad. At the top we find the button that we must press to open the battery compartment. Inside it we will have the adapters for 18650, if we want to put 21700 in it, we must remove them.
The positive and negative sign is indicated on the cover. In addition, we will need the R and the L in case we charge it through the cable internally. This way we will know which of the two batteries has the respective charge shown on the screen.
This button does not jump involuntarily either, even if you want it to. Vaporesso has done great with security in this MOD.
Keep in mind that right now, on the pic, the MOD is upside down.
