Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the VK530 200w Box Mod from Vsticking. The Vsticking VK530 200w Box Mod was supplied for the purpose of this review by Cortana from the Healthcabin.

Introduction
Vsticking are a new vaping manufacturer who like iPV use YiHi technology in their devices. They have just released a portable squonk device which utilises the new YiHi ESS Driver technology and have also released a pod device but here we have their first device the Vsticking VK530 which has such a similar look and form factor to the G-Class right down to the Joystick (common on YiHi devices) but at a fraction of the cost. Powered by the YiHi SX530 Chip the Vsticking VK530 delivers both accurate wattage and temperature control and for those that like uncomplicated devices can be used in Novice mode, let's have a look!

1pc Micro USB Cable
1pc User Manual
1pc Warranty Card

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The VK530 came in cardboard box packaging with a cardboard outer sleeve with a picture of the boxed colour/design version. I received the J-Graffiti Golden version which has a Golden colour top, base, back plaque and facial surround and a graffiti style design on the main body. The colour/design options are Camouflage Gunmetal, White Deity Silver, J-Graffiti Golden, J-Graffiti Silver, Skull Silver, Mesh Black and Carbon Black. The material used i believe is aluminium which once the batteries are fitted gives the device a really nice weight in the hand. The main body has a thick coating of a material which feels really nice and allows for the design to be raised giving the device a tactile feel (if anyone knows what the material is please spill the beans).
The form factor is very rounded and almost identical to the G-Class, this curved form factor and really nice weight makes it very comfortable in the hand despite being quite a large dual 18650 device (21700 size?). On the face of the device we have a frame which houses a protruding round fire button top followed by a round colour screen. Further down we have a Silver Joystick followed by the micro USB port. The back of the device has a central indented plaque with "VSTICKING" embossed into it, being indented shows how impressively thick the outer mysterious coating is. The base is the battery hatch door which has a sturdy catch, we also have branding and safety marks. Moving up top we have a central large 510 plate with Gold plated, spring loaded 510. The device is made very well, is aesthetically pleasing (subjective) and we have no rattles whatsoever.

Fitting The Batteries
The VK530 will accommodates dual 18650 batteries which are fitted via the bottom hatch door. The hatch door is faultless, just slide the catch and it springs open and when fixing back in place just push down and it locks in position. The door is solid and very secure with no rattles like the rest of the device i even don't get to moan about the labelled battery orientation with this device as orientation is clearly marked both at the bottom of the tubes and Black on Silver on the underside of the hatch door, cracking job!
___________________________________________________________________
The Display
The display is very bright (this can be adjusted) and sharp, the device comes with 10 wallpapers (you can replace with your own) that really shows off the quality of the display. The default display has a upper half circle speedometer type graphic with moving dial that displays the watts or Joules depending which mode you are in. At the bottom of the left side of the half circle we have which ever temp control wire has been set up (default is Ni200) and this displays even when in wattage mode as it's not saying you are in temp control but simply informing you if you go to temp control that is the current wire selected. At the bottom of the right side of the half circle we have the preheat or it will say novice instead if you have put the device in novice mode, between the two pieces of information i have already described we have your wattage, joules or temperature depending on which mode you are in. Underneath the wattage, joules or temperature we have a square that will display one of 5 memory settings then to the left of this we have input voltage and to the right output voltage. Finally underneath the the input voltage we have just one battery bar with no percentage and underneath the output voltage we have the resistance. One thing that does need mentioning is some of the fonts used are on the small size and those with poor eyesight might struggle to read some of the information.
