Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the WYE II 215W TC Kit from Teslacigs. The Tesla WYE II 215W TC Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

Introduction
The WYE II 215W Mod like the previous WYE series is super lightweight and after using it i can see this being at least as popular as the previous WYE 200W. Aesthetically it's completely different whilst i couldn't find any difference in it's performance so where the extra 15W come's from no idea as i will leave it for those that can get data to see if even the 200W was the true operating top wattage of the original WYE never mind claiming an extra 15. The battery door as far as i know secures in a unique way which works impressively but a question mark raised about durability. The screen is bright, sharp and bigger than previously used and although the layout is different it's navigated in the same way with the exact same information visible. In this kit the aesthetically pleasing WYE II is matched up with in my opinion an equally nice looking Resin tank which Tesla as shown unrivalled imagination by calling it yes the Resin tank, pure genius!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The WYE II with Resin tank came in cardboard presentation packaging and once opened i was met by a smaller device than i was expecting from pictures i have seen. While not being as big has expected it is a wide device but has a recessed section front and back in the central region of the mod where the hand gets wrapped around so it's not an ergonomic nightmare, after saying that their are far more ergonomic devices about including the original WYE which is much more comfortable in the hand. Made of ABS and PC it's another super lightweight device but feels very sturdy, these lightweight plastic devices are getting better and better judging from the devices i receive. I received the Blue Gold version which comes with a Blue Resin tank, it's also available in Black, White, Black Red and Blue Purple, all versions come with a Resin tank in a colour that suits the device. The colour of the device refers to the side panels which have a rubberised texture with the main chassis being Black. The Blue Gold one i received has Blue at the top and Gold at the bottom with the 2 colours blending into one another centrally as if they had been spray painted. Both sides have a raised long vertical plaque central with "TESLACIGS" printed on one plaque and "WYE II" printed on the other. The spine as mentioned is recessed in the middle section where we have a grooved effect, the base of the device has etched safety stamps and branding as well as a notch for the removable battery panel. The font of the device has a large fire button on a slight angle at the top and micro USB port at the bottom, the recessed central section is where we have housed the screen and navigational buttons on a rocker. Moving to the top we have a central 510 plate with Gold plated, spring loaded 510. Whilst not being as ergonomic as the original WYE i do prefer the form visually of the WYE II and the only complaints build wise is if you shake the device you do get rattle from the navigational rocker, but it's fine during normal use.

Resin Tank Overview
I do like a resin finish tank but one noticeable difference between this and for example the Freemax or Alpha is the Resin base and top-cap isn't chunky and has a more delicate look (it's a compliment to the aesthetics not that the tank is fragile). The Resin has a top-fill method and rather than the perimeter of the top-cap being threaded it is threaded into place via the air-pipe with silicone seal keeping the tank air-tight. When the top cap is removed a metal plate is revealed with the usual dual kidney shaped fill ports. Moving to the base we have dual cyclops with very visible stopper and unscrewing the base reveals the coil is just press fitted inside the coil chamber and then the base gets screwed back on, the base of the coil head has an o-ring which in theory should prevent e-liquid seeping straight into the base. The Resin tank comes in both 2ml TPD version and 6ml bubble glass version, the spare straight glass is 4ml capacity. The Resin comes with 2 different mesh coils, the pre installed coil is the TS-XX 0.18ohm Mesh coil which is rated between 60w and 110w with a best of 70w to 90w. The other included coil is the TS-120X 0.15ohm Mesh coil which is rated between 70w and 120w, best at 80w to 100w.

Fitting The Batteries
The WYE II runs off dual 18650 batteries which are fitted by removing the side panel which has the "WYE II" plaque central. On the base their is a notch to help to remove the panel and once off the battery compartment is very neat and tidy and has installed battery ribbon. The ribbon is needed as the batteries sit deep inside the compartment so their is no room to get your fingers around them for removal. Yet again i can't understand why battery orientation is Black on Black (please White) but other than that nice job. The panel doesn't secure with the use of magnets but instead is pressed down where a number of notches around the surround interlock, it fits in place with a satisfying click. The way the battery door fits is very secure with no movement whatsoever my only worry would be the durability of the tabs that click into place and whether over time it would fit less well but certainly as the device comes i can only say good job only time can judge the durability.
