Introduction
Kslvapor only came to my attention about a year ago but have been releasing vaping products for a few years. The Japanese company manufacture their products out of China but have mainly marketed their products in France and Japan under the brand Vethos Design.
The S Mod is a single 18650 device with a top output of 80W, as well as Variable Wattage it also features TC and Bypass modes. With it's luxurious feel and ergonomic form factor which is as much pleasing aesthetically as in it's ergonomic credentials the S Mod is going to tempt many single battery device users, let's give this little gem a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The S Mod is packaged in a simple but sturdy cardboard box and on opening we have the S Mod with it's beautiful ergonomic shape displayed in the top layer and everything else that's included below. I received the White version for the purpose of this review but have both had and used regularly the Black version over the last few months, Black and White are the only options!
The curvy form factor and fire button position makes the S Mod just about perfect ergonomically and it's shape is also very pleasing to the eye. The construction is Zinc Alloy and Stainless Steel but has some form of coated finish which is like a hard compound rubber paint which is proving to be very durable while also giving nice hand feel. The Chromed fire button barely protrudes but is nice and large and positioned on an angle making the device equally comfortable to use firing with finger or thumb in either hand.
As well as the chromed fire button on the top angle of the face we have a chromed panel below accommodating a set back screen like an old arcade game machine followed by two protruding round navigational buttons lined up vertically.
On one side towards the front low down we have the micro USB port and the spine has the exposed battery tube with "Ksl Vapor" nicely engraved on the vertical. On the base we have a screw on battery cap with heavy knurled perimeter and both safety marks and branding on it's base. Moving up top we have a sunken 24mm 510 plate with spring loaded 510! Personally for it's price point i am finding the S Mod has both excellent build quality and is just about perfect ergonomically!

Fitting The Battery
The S Mod accommodates a single 18650 battery which is fitted via the bottom of the device. We have a screw on battery cap much like you would see on a Pico for example but just screwed on the bottom rather than top. We have heavy knurling around the perimeter of the cap for a good grip and on the underside negative is clearly marked in Black on the Stainless so no issues there! The threads catch easy enough but as i am going to be petty to actually find any cons for this device while screwing the cap on the threading does feel slightly on the crunchie side but i have known far worse!

The Display
The display is very bright although that can be adjusted and it reminds me very much of an Old School digital display, everything is easy to read, we have all the information required but the layout is quite crude but it kind of adds to it's charm.
The screen is set-back and as mentioned it reminds me of one of those big game machines found in arcades in that regard and the Chromed finish surround really sets it off. This however does give the issue of the surround acting as a mirror so we get reflection from the display which will be little or nothing to many but will really bug others!
Top central we have the mode within a rectangular frame and then below with a left orientation (not helping with the reflecting off the Chrome) the Wattage, when in temp control we then have temperature again with a left orientation underneath the wattage.
Next to the left it says "VOLT" then underneath, central is the Voltage displayed. Below we have the resistance to the left and vape duration to the right and finally at the bottom an elongated battery status bar!
