Let’s start with obligatory - I received this mod for review but it will not alter my opinion.

So the kit has the Tessera box mod and Ello TS tank Atomizer and the new Eleaf ELLO TS tank. You can get bit in five colours. I got the silver. The aesthetics are nice. The back has a funky mosaic pattern. It is pretty small but I feel it could have been a bit smaller since it uses an internal 3400 may battery. My nano and qbox are smaller. Still 3400 at 40 - 60 watts should last most of the day.

There menu is very easy to navigate. Just a few clicks to the menu to set parameters - mode, TCR, resistance, real time clock, colour, and more. It does have TCR and you will need it to tweak your settings for a decent TCR vape. In power mode it performed quite well. It does have a preheat as well.

I like the centered 510 but you can use a 25 mm tank. The tank it comes with is a 25mm. I like the fact that you can go down to .1 ohm in power mode. I like the fact that you can vape it as a DTL or MTL device as it adjusts in .1 increments up to 20 watts and then switches to 1 watt increments.

Getting into the menu is just three clicks. Then you use your up/down and select button on the front to navigate. The side bar is your power bar. I figured it out without the manual in about three minutes. It is very intuitive. I do love the large screen too.

The Ello tanks are really good little tanks. You have an extender for 4ml and also a compliant 2 ml tank. It comes with the HW coils. The .3 is pretty nice around 50 watts. The other coil is a .2 single good for around 30-40 watts. It has a slide fill top. I’ve reviewed Ello tanks before. This has new coils but any HW coil will work. I’ve always liked the Ello tanks. They have decent flavour and cloud and the coils last a bit.

Pros
Easy menu system
Big screen
Fires up quickly
Decent size and aesthetics
Has TCR and preheat
Centered 510
Comes with a decent tank

Cons
It is an internal battery. It can pushed to 150 watts I suppose. I never pushed it.
There is nothing that really stands out - I have seen small internal battery devices before.

So what do I think out of box? Well, it is a decent little device that could supply you with some decent power. Very few people vape over 100 watts. So even a 24 mm RDA at .15 ohm could sit on top. The Ello tank works well. I would have to change tanks for a good MTL vape though. The .2 coil is not bad but it isn;t true MTL. Overall it competes with other small stealth devices. It is a bit larger than some BUT it goers up to 150 watts where others stop at 80 watts. So it is a bit more versatile.

You decide if it is meant for you or not. I’m going to go and vape a bit on it now.
