Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Lunar Starter Kit with Lumi Tank from Digiflavor. The Digiflavor Lunar Starter Kit with Lumi Tank was supplied for the purpose of this review by Pearl from Cigabuy.

Introduction
Not long ago Digiflavor released the single battery Helix which is a simple wattage device giving 2 different constant wattage outputs and bypass. The Lunar although having a completely different look is a dual battery version of the Helix but having Batteries that get installed in Parallel doesn't increase it's voltage output in Bypass but rather is for extra battery life. The Lunar is made from the same lightweight yet durable ABS plastic making it a cheap budget device but is powered by Geekvape's AS chip so i expected good performance. Unfortunately in this Kit we yet again see a kit involving a disposable tank which i just don't think should be happening, but let's give the Lunar a good look and also give my thoughts on the Lumi Tank!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Lunar Kit came in cardboard packaging and on opening i found i had received the Black version, it's also available in Red, Blue and White. The device is very light at just 50g and made from ABS plastic which is deceivingly durable but because the Lunar doesn't have raised areas like the Helix, textured or rubberised finish it has a very cheap feel in the hand which is improved with the added weight of batteries. The form factor is a double barrel shape like the Squid Industries Double Barrel Mod, in fact it's about the exact same size. On one of the barrels we have "DIGIFLAVOR" carved into the plastic and on the other barrel towards the top a small LED indicator light. The opposite side see's the barrels have a removable panel for battery installation. On the front of one of the barrels is a Gun metal horizontal pill shaped fire button which protrudes nicely to be easily felt when the device is in the hand. On top of the device on one of the barrels we have a small 510 plate with Gold plated, spring loaded 510. As i haven't used the Squid Industries Double barrel Mod i didn't realise how ergonomic the double barrel shape is, it feels great in the hand ergonomically but i just can't get away from the cheap plastic feel.

My Thoughts About Disposable Tanks
I have reviewed 5 different disposable tanks now and while up until the Lumi i have been surprised by flavour and performance and do see the uses of such a tank. Using when going on holiday or in a position you think your tank could be at risk of being damaged or lost, or just having a couple in a drawer for an emergency or maybe one in the glove compartment in your car. However including a disposable tank as a kit tank is encouraging over use of these tanks and just filling up landfill sites. I really don't get it, if you buy a kit you want a tank which can be used continuously just changing the coil when needed not one that after a couple of weeks needs throwing away and replacing. I suppose an argument could be made that some people want the convenience of not having to change coils but let's face it that's incredibly lazy!

Lumi Overview
The Lumi is a sub-ohm disposable tank with a pre-installed 0.3 mesh kanthal coil, with a rating between 30W and 45W and best of 35W to 40W. The whole top section including drip tip is one peace which is totally transparent, on the top of the tank next to the drip tip to one side is a removable bung which you remove to reveal a very generous fill port. The tank holds 4ml of e-liquid or 2ml with the TPD version, the TPD version is much shorter. The fill method is the best of the disposable tanks i have used so far as the tank doesn't need removing from the device to fill and the port is a very good size. The bung fits deep and tight making it very secure and in the event of it snapping off and losing it during filling a spare one is provided. Obviously with no way of priming the coil when filling for the first time i would leave standing for 10 minutes taking the odd draw without firing. You might get away with priming the middle of the coil with the shorter TPD version via the drip tip but with the 4ml version most of the liquid will just go down the centre into the base and then out the airflow holes so personally i would just fill the tank then be patient. The Lumi also looks to have the best airflow adjustabilty of the disposable tanks i have looked at so far, the control ring can be removed which reveals dual cyclops, the control ring has 3 just over 2mm holes each side so you can have one hole open each side, 2 holes or 3. Moving to the base we do have a protruding Gold plated 510 but i would strongly advise not to use the Lumi on a hybrid.

Performance of Lumi
Usually the performance of the tank i would be describing and giving my opinion in the same section as the device performance but i tested the Lunar with other tanks as i have used the Lumi with the Lucid and reviewed the tank separately as well as receiving it with the Helix and i am not a fan at all. The Lumi is disappointing as i have been surprised by how good disposable tanks have performed. With the Lumi i struggled to get much flavour, now don't get me wrong before mesh coils became all the rage i would be saying the flavour with the Lumi was ok but it has a mesh coil installed and compared to the other disposable tanks it's quite a way off. I do like the fill method with the Lumi but i also thought the airflow would be favourable but wide open it wasn't the smoothest and seemed to get rougher as i closed the airflow down to have 2 holes per side and then one.
