Hello Everyone and welcome to Pizza Dave’s Vape Reviews and today I will be going over the Adept Zlide kit by Innokin. This devices, designed by P. Busardo and the Vaping Greek, is a simple pairing with new users in mind. It has basic display features, “smart wattage” settings, and comes in a dustproof, shockproof, and waterproof body. To make it a complete package, they topped it with one of my personal favorite MTL atomizers, the Zlide tank. Let’s get right to it eh?
Disclaimer: This device was sent to me by Innokin for review.

MOD OVERVIEW
Like I mentioned above, this device is simple and easy to operate. It doesn’t have a full-on display, but rather indicates everything with LEDs on the face. The mod overall is toted as waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof. I wouldn’t put this in the same category as an Aegis device, but it does appear to be sealed up rather well and could withstand quite a bit of abuse. This features a 3000mah built in battery and is charged via micro-usb. I wish it was USB-C, but it is what it is. It still charges up at a quick pace, and the battery lasts for what feels like an eternity.

OPERATION
P. Busardo and the Vaping Greek have always been in favor of devices for beginners. We all have to start somewhere, and for the most part, the market is saturated with the one thing that is good for beginners, pod systems. With that in mind, the Adept features two buttons and no confusing display. Pressing the fire button 3 times will turn the device on and off. This also has what Innokin is calling “smart-wattage”. At first, this is kind of confusing, as the minimalistic display left me guessing, until I reverted to the manual and did more digging. First off, there is a logo at the bottom of the level indicators. A left arrow bracket, and a right arrow bracket. If the arrow faces left, it is greater than 1 ohm. If the arrow faces right, it is less than 1 ohm. From that point, you can refer to the manual, or the bottom of the device, as it shows what each of the LEDs mean.
GREATER THAN 1-OHM LESS THAN 1-OHM
14w 17w
13w 16w
12w 15w
11w 14w
This device also features a battery indication LED right above these bars. It stays illuminated for about 2 seconds after a puff, so there is a little bit of time to see where the battery is at.
BATTERY INDICATION – as indicated in the manual
Notice, there is a gap in the battery indication here, with nothing from 40-60. They have some obvious typos, so I am assuming that this battery indication is the same as most. Red is the bottom third, Yellow is the middle third, and green is the top third. I found that it takes FOREVER to get to red when using this daily. It seems to be green for a longer period than yellow, but even once I got to yellow, I was able to get a ton of puffs on it until it went red. I vaped for about 20 puffs on red before it was low and was time to charge.
Charging is done at the base of this mod and is covered by a rubber plug to keep water and dust out. I am not a fan of the location at all, as it must either lay on its side or be propped up somehow to charge. The plug can also be finicky to pull out if you don’t have fingernails. I can see this being a con for an older generation using this device. Thankfully, charging cycles are spread out thanks to the large 3000mah battery, and the charging cycle is rather quick. I lost track each time I charged, but it appeared to be just a little over an hour.

ZLIDE TANK REVIEW
I am not really going to get too deep into the Zlide tank. I posted a stand-alone review of this tank when it came out. It is one of my favorite MTL atomizers period, and I still use the sample I received months ago on a regular basis. When It comes to how it pairs on this device, I found the 1.6-ohm coil to be much more enjoyable than the .4-ohm. It just felt right and worked well with the output provided. It also looks great on top, even though the Adept has clearance for a couple more mm of space. I believe this is there because the Zlide is going to be coming out in a 24mm version soon, which will look even better on top.
