Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review I take a look at the CoolFire Z80 Mod from Innokin. The Innokin Coolfire Z80 Mod was supplied for the purpose of this review By Sourcemore.

Introduction
Innokin are one of the old guard when it comes to vaping manufacturers yet they have not only stayed relevant but are also leading the way in innovation. The Coolfire Z80 incorporates the same innovative new technology that was introduced with the Sensis Pod Mod which both improves flavour and coil longevity by using a coil refresh feature and new F0 technology which uses AC Current! After using both the Sensis and the Coolfire Z80 I am very impressed and can see F0 Mode and the Refresh feature being Innokin's standard technology in the future!
I have already reviewed the Kit version of this device that saw the Coolfire Z80 paired with the Zenith II Tank but was asked to review just the Mod which is handy as I made a point of saying when I reviewed the Kit that hopefully the mod would become available on it's own for those interested in the device but prefer rebuildable atomisers. So for those who don't want to read the full kit review but just find out more about the device, here goes!!!!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
Like the kit the device only version comes in recycled cardboard packaging with the mod on show in the top tier and all accessories below! I received the White Leather version which has a Silver Zinc Alloy frame and cushioned White Leather spine, the options are Leather Black, Ash Grey, Leather White and Cloudy Grey. The frame is either Silver, Black or Gunmetal depending which spine option you choose, all spines are padded with the White and Black being Leather and Cloudy and Ash Grey versions having a Suede Leather covering!
The device has a curved spine with either soft Leather or cushioned Suede finishes, the sides flatten out towards the front of the device. Between the spine and main frame sections we have a bracket either side, on one bracket we have "INNOKIN" carved and on the other "COOLFIRE Z80".
Moving to the face which is darkly tinted we have a nicely machined round protruding fire button with Copper edging which is only a small detail but one i like a lot! Below we have the screen followed by two small round protruding navigational buttons lined up vertically followed by the Type C USB connection port!
moving up top we have a slightly raised 510 plate with Gold plated, spring loaded 510. At the base of the device we find a battery plate with fold out lever and venting holes! The Coolfire Z80 is light but not in a cheap way as it's build quality is excellent, it's also compact making it a lovely device to use when out and about as well as at home.

Fitting The Battery
The Coolfire Z80 accommodates a single 18650 battery via the bottom of the device by unscrewing the battery plate.
This style of installing your battery is old school but much loved and still used on many high end devices, you can't damage your wraps and it guarantees you will get no battery movement. I particularly like this style when a fold out lever is included making it much quicker and less fiddly to secure in place, on this battery plate as well as a fold out lever we also have venting holes which is good to see!

The Display
The display gives plenty of info and is bright, sharp and uses colour sparingly which i find pleasing to the eye!
Top left we have the mode which will be W (normal variable wattage), V (Normal Variable Voltage) or F0 (Find your frequency mode), top right we have the battery status bar.
Underneath the information given we have the wattage or Voltage depending which mode you are in. The lower section of the display shows to the left vape duration followed by your puff count and to the right we have resistance followed by bottom right the voltage which instead will display wattage in voltage mode or the frequency when using F0!
