Strange happenings are afoot here at Steampugs Headquarters International Team house.....or S.H.I.T. House ....as I like to call it....
I can't explain it...
I don't want to understand it....
I pretty much shat my pants several times just reminding myself about it.....like now....for example...
One morning I got up for work as usual, did my normal triple 'S' routine of shit, shower & a shave....I got dressed, I drank coffee, I grabbed my keys.....and as I walked out of the front door.....there was a noticeable chill....in the air...
'Weird'...I thought.....regardless, I zipped up my coat, got in my car and drove into work...
A few hours later, while I was sat at my desk enjoying my thirteenth coffee of the day....my phone pings....
A message from.....somewhere?......Where did it come from?.....Why was it telling me that something was.....'waiting for me at home'......well this was just too fucking much, at this point I was beside myself with the heebie jeebies, but I kicked up my skirt, grew some tiny testicles.....and drove home to face this 'thing'.... in a calm and collected manner...like the brave soldier that I am....
I got home....gingerly opened the front door.....looked down and...
IMPOSSIBLE!......Where did it come from!?!?....Who put it there!?!? .......WHAT DOES IT WANT FROM ME!?!? .....
"Hey.....drama queen......a parcel came for you while you were at work.......I signed for it.....and why are you crying??"
scoffed my clearly more manly than me other half....
"And shut the fucking door it's the middle of winter ffs"........
.........................................................................................................................
Good evening and welcome my foggy little mist monsters.....I should probably have saved this one for Halloween but seeing as it's only fucking March....and this thing came out last year.....it would practically be an antique in vape terms by then...so....here we are, confronted by pure...unadulterated....evil.....be afraid.....be very afraid........okay be slightly nervous then..........no?.........(sigh)..... fine.....courtesy of my good friends Gearbest blah blah etc etc ,I give to you the Lost Vape Paranormal 166.....I cannot be held responsible if you all have a sudden and uncontrollable urge to stab yourselves in the lady garden with a crucifix when you look at it....
Dark and seductive....such is the way of all things that hold an inner demon.....much like myself....(?)
In true Lost Vape fashion the retail presence is impressive to say the least, slip off the beautifully designed outer sleeve and you are presented with a leather flip top box emblazoned with a pentagram design that looks like it could well contain the heart of satan himself....
And as it creaks open, smoke and light pours out from inside along with a deep and demonic "MWAHAHahahaaaa".....okay it doesn't.....but it totally should...in fact nothing happens....at all.....except the fact that you are presented with this little beauty...
Now...I was hoping to show you the cheeky little extras you got with the Paranormal....but it would appear that they have stopped doing it..or at least for this particular colour combo, you see in the former colours you got a pair of interchangeable magnetic side panels in wood, along with a suction cup to take them off....but.....nothing...I frantically removed the cover, only to find an empty space.......almost spooky.
The Lowdown
The Lost Vape Paranormal 166 is a dual series 18650 box mod powered by Evolves DNA 250 chip, giving out 166w and offers the full range of DNA features....all customisable through the escribe software.
The DNA chips are obviously very well documented and are some of....if not the best chips available in regulated mods today, so I wont be droning on about what these things are capable of....suffice to say.....they are the shit....especially if TC is your 'thang' .....however....what really rattles my chains with the Paranormal....is just how much of a head turner this thing is...
The build quality and appearance of this thing is next level, but you would expect that from the same company that brought us the Therion, which is easily their biggest selling device to date....but not without one slightly annoying flaw...the way you fit the batteries, or more specifically the one at the back, which was a bit of a pain in the ass and could cause damage to your battery wraps when you forced it in, but Lost Vape listened, and this time, we have a spring loaded bottom door, which is one of the tightest I have come across....
It's a huge improvement from the old system of fitting them in through the hand grip and it's nice to see that Lost Vape appear to be willing to bend over backwards for their customer base...
The hand feel is excellent thanks to the padded leather finger grip running full length down the spine of the device, complete with heavy stitching....
The side panels on this particular model are a resin 'bone' effect and along with the 'artificial turtle shell' decoration ring around the top it's nice to know that the Paranormal won't be possessed with the souls of dead exotic animals..... albeit....that probably would of fitted the theme better.
Up on the top we have the exquisitely made 510 complete with a spring loaded, nickel plated pin....
It's good for 25mm tops but anything more and you will get overhang.
Along the brushed alloy front panel we have the fire button, control buttons, USB socket and the screen....
