Hey-hey-hey!:)
Nowadays, when the vape market has lots of goods, not each vaper prefers middle- and low-functional devices: the biggest part of them want 200W wattage, two 18650 feed, big screen, etc.
But as for me, who vape not really often – devices, which produce 50, 70, 100W – is a good way to forget about everything among foggy clouds))
And today, the hero of my review is a small, but pretty kit Eleaf iStick Kiya from Eleaf Co.

It came to me in a beautiful turquoise box, where you can find some important info about the kit and its picture.

Inside the box you can find the kit by itself and some poor adds.

Eleaf iStick Kiya is a miniature kit, which could beat even an Innokin CoolFire mini for me. It`s more little, but fatter, pleasant to touch and has a big bright grid-type screen. The quality and assembly is great, besides the moment, that navigation rocker dangles and rattles a little.

Eleaf iStick Kiya parameters:
Sizes: 55,5 mm * 33,5 mm * 24,5 mm;
Color: Black, white, green​

On the face side there is a 1,45 inches colored screen. The readability is good, the indices aren`t mixed – the grid-type menu looks pretty!

On the left side there is a coarse rubberized insert, and on the right side you can find a big hidden «Fire» button. Its push occurs with a click, and the button works good, without misfires.

On the top there is a platform with a 510 spring-loaded connector, which will let you to set atomizers up to 24,5 mm flush. There is no levitation, but, thanks to a quality cover, I didn`t find scratches, while testing the kit.

At the bottom Chinese`ve made some venting holes and micro USB port.

For to turn the device on/off you need to push the «Fire» button for 5 times. You can`t set if off totally, and if push the «Fire» - you`ll see clock on the screen.

When the device is on, we can see the main screen, which shows such indices as wattage, battery indicator, resistance, mode name, voltage, current, temperature or clock with date. Of course, these indices vary depending on the chosen mode.

For to lock buttons – clamp «+» и «-», when the device is on.


For to enter the menu of settings you`ll need to push «Fire» for 3 times. Then you`ll see the tree of settings: Mode, Set, Info, Exit.

The «Mode» branch let us to set one of the following modes: VW, TC (Ni, Ti, SS), TCR (M1, M2, M3), Clock (In the center of the screen, instead of power / temperature, a digital clock with a date) and BYPASS.

The complete atomizer GS Juni looks like a toy, but it is similar to box mod sizes (it would be strange, if, for example, manufacturer used Melo 300)

DSC_0456.jpg

GS Juni atomizer parameters:
Height: 40 mm;
Diameter: 18,5 mm;
Capacity: 2 ml;
Color: Black, white, green​


GS Juni consists of 4 parts: base, the monolith part of chamber, tube, shaft and top cap, replacement coil head and drip tip.

The base is made with bottom fine airflow tuning and has 2 threads for to fix the coil head and chamber.

Replacement coil heads are of «GS Air» type and have 0,75 and 1,5 Ohm resistance, which tough puff lovers will definitely. The first one works on 8-25W and the other one – on 8-20W.

As for the monolithic part of GS BASAL – it consists of chamber with big cuts, thin middle shaft, which flows into top cap. The glass tube can`t be changed, this is bad.

The filling has a bottom old type: for to fill the atomizer, you`ll have to invert GS BASAL, unscrew a monolithic part and fill the tube with juice from the sides.
There is one terrible note: if you fill it higher than a chamber top part – the juice`ll flow into top cap and your hands/table. This is a minus to manufacturer, so, be careful!

An the last part is a delrin small drip tip of 510 type. It doesn`t really get hot, sits without backlashes and fixes with the help of 2 o-rings.

CV
Well, I think, that box mod Eleaf iStick Kiya can be popular among vapers, who are ready to vape on low wattage, using their MTL atomizers. Such a small and pretty box mod can be their satellite in everyday routine. Yes, it has a low autonomy, but if you vape not often – it will be enough.
As for complete atomizer – I don`t really like it because of constructive, especially of bottom filling, non-changeable glass tube and because you can`t service coil heads.
On my opinion, the price is high, and that for such a sum of money you can buy more functional device, but if you want a compact box mod – you can buy it separately to GS Juni, and the price will be lower.​
