Witchcraft and fuckery, this is pretty much the label I use for anything technical that I don't understand, which....to be fair...is anything more technologically advanced than a potato....
That's....actually probably true....
But regardless, today we will be looking at exactly one of those things. I've had it explained to me several times by 'that' group of friends....you know...the group you don't go out drinking with....but can say with quite some certainty that I haven't a clue what they're talking about...I just nod...and look pretty...
It is of course.....wireless charging - something that is now practically standard in the latest mobile phones. Do I like it?....Honestly? ...I haven't a clue. I have a company phone, you know....one of those 25 year contracts....I'm just lucky it's not a Nokia 3310, so my experience with wireless charging up to this point was somewhere in between.. "it does what?...don't be ridiculous" and "you can't put that in there..it doesn't fit"......no wait...that second one may have been something utterly different....
However....just because something can incorporate this relatively new wichcraft...doesn't necessarily mean it should....... Or does it?.....And indeed...could it?...And if it could.....did it mean to?.....Or......wait.....what?

Welcome back my finest fluffy throwing fog fetishists, tis I, your (ahem) award nominated reviewer....oh no...no no...get used to that shit, gonna ride that milk float for all it's worth believe you me.....I've even been signing my Christmas cards with exactly that...or at least I would...if I wasn't a man...I mean...cards?...pfft, more witchcraft...ANYWAY...back again with more of the same, except this time it's not the same, it's completely different, so that....basically....is a lie.
Today...we have something not seen before in Vapingdom, a technology usually reserved for the higher-end gadget fuckery, a technology that thus far has eluded yours truly due to my companies purse strings being as tight as a ducks arse, and that technology is of course wireless charging. Don't try and hide it all you nerds out there....I know this shit gives you a techno chubby...I can see you squirming in your rather moist seats...
But fear not my geek-full compadres, even I with my masculine stone-like exterior..(pfft)...had a little twitch when I first laid eyes on one half of what I’m reviewing today. So without further ado, lets geek out together....courtesy of my long suffering sponsors in crime Heavengifts, I present to you.....the Digiflavor Edge Kit & Wireless Charging Dock.....(swoon)
No pictures of the packaging this time around as it was just a plain white sample box....both were actually....yes that's right...both, as this shit doesn't come together in a package - thought I'd best get that out there off the bat.
The Lowdown
The Digiflavor Edge kit consists of the 200w Edge Mod & the Spectre Sub Ohm Tank with mesh coils.
The Edge Mod is powered by 2 x 18650's and is kept in check by a brand new AS chip that utilises EVERY mode for EVERY vaper in a not quite so standard configuration. In fact...the menu system takes a little getting used to if I’m honest, and if you're a beginner looking for a starter kit you would be forgiven for spending the first hour with your Edge kit with about as little a clue...as a cat playing a piano..
It's a little more 'Yihi' than you have come to expect from a mainstream vape manufacturer, but stick with it, you'll get there. It uses the same kind of 'memory' format, meaning you have basically 4 'memories'....or it might be 5...look...it's in the car and it's pissing down with rain - I'm not going out there. However many it is, whatever you set it to, be it TC, VW, Bypass etc. etc...it will stay locked in, so if you tend to change your vaping style depending on what top you are using it's perfect. I can't however tell you how accurate the TC is....mainly because I don't care, but also because....I don't care.....It's also 0.1w increments...which I also don't care about.
So.....starting at the top, we have a very nice indeed bolted down 510 plate housing a lovely spring loaded pin...
Centrally located so a 30mm top will not look ridiculous, a 28.5mm Sherman....is a winner, very, very nicely machined and an uber firm plate - you ain't movin’ this shit anywhere.
Then, down the front we have the rather large 1.54" display...
It's very clear, looks great..but...you're stuck with blue (I think) ...I have tried every configuration of buttons to find a menu where you can change this because I fucking hate blue, but to no avail. Maybe you can....I don't know, there is of course a very good chance that I am a massive fucktard and just can't find the option, but for now...it's blue and slightly animated. And of course below this we have the function buttons exactly where you would expect them to be....little bit of finger tap rattle there....tut tut...
Down the sides we have (ahem) a 'Diamond Cutting Texture' ....
To be fair, it's a lot nicer than the last mod I reviewed which claimed to have 'Diamond Cutting Technology', and it offers a surprising amount of grip. When I first laid eyes on it I was kinda....'meh'...but just like everything else on the Edge mod...it's grown on me like a case of genital warts..
And at the top of one of these 'Diamond Cutting Textured' sides....is the fire button.....
I'm guessing it's ‘Diamond Cutting Textured'....like...for realz. That being said, when I first picked up the Edge to take it on its maiden voyage....I absolutely DESPISED it....."WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS BUTTON!?!"....I whispered to myself in a very loud voice..."IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK!!".......I explained to my Teacup Chihuahua, as she was the only living thing around me at that time...and she seemed genuinely vexed by my plight...
Hey..don't judge me, it's a real man's dog, you've never known pure unadulterated evil until you've owned a Chihuahua - you can't train them not to hate everything and everyone....it's impossible....Anyway...my problem with this button; it doesn't work if you press it like you would on any other mod. You kind of have to press it at an angle, which...admittedly...is the natural way your finger or thumb does it - I just wasn't expecting it. It's also quite small....and not particularly 'clicky'....basically...it was everything I hated in a fire button, including it's bullshit 'Diamond Cutting Texture'.....but...again....I got used to it.
Underneath we have a release button for the battery door..
I very much like this, it's extremely well engineered and works perfectly, simply press it and the hefty battery door pops up...
And it's heftiness is down to the wireless charging witchcraft housed within. It's only when the door is off...that you can really appreciate just how compact the Edge is.
