Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the GEN S 220W TC Kit With NRG-S Tank from Vaporesso. The Gen S Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Jessica from Vaporesso.
https://www.vaporesso.com/vape-kits/gen-s
Introduction
At the same time as bringing out the Gen's little brother the Gen Nano Vaporesso release the Gen S which unless i'm missing a trick is exactly the same device as the original Gen but now coming in 5 new colours and paired with the latest NRG tank the NRG-S or NRG-S Mini for TPD regulated regions.
The Gen has become one of the most popular devices in recent times boasting vaporesso's ground breaking "Pulse" and "Smart TC modes" while many also finding it a very reliable workhorse, so let's give it another look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Gen S Kit came in the usual style of cardboard packaging that Vaporesso products come in with both the Gen device and NRG S Tank in the top tray and other accessories below.
On opening this time i wasn't surprised at how big the device is because the Gen S Mod in this Kit is the same device as previously released so for me i'ts size is still a con but not as much of a con as it is with other devices of this size as it's so light, is curved front and back and has a really nice textured rubberised grippy feel actually making it very ergonomic despite it's size.
On this occasion i received the Lime Green version which fuses from a Spring Green bottom into a Lime Green midway up the device. The Gen S Kit comes with matching NRG S (NRG S Mini (TPD version)) and is available in Matte Gray, Rose Gold, Midnight Blue, Cherry Pink and Lime Green.
We have a matching Rose Gold fire button and 510 plate which looks aesthetically pleasing but also wish the navigational and mode buttons were also Rose Gold to match instead of being the colour of choice which looks a bit odd being in a different colour. The face of the device has the mentioned round protruding fire button towards the top and towards the bottom a vertical row of 3 smaller protruding buttons which are the two navigational buttons with the mode button between. Right at the bottom of the face is the micro USB port which disappointingly still isn't type C and between the fire and smaller buttons we have the screen.
One side of the device has "Vaporesso" printed centrally while central bottom of the other removable side we have the Vaporesso logo, both again are in Rose Gold. Moving to the base we have venting and a notch to help remove the battery side panel, also again in Rose Gold we have branding and Safety stamps. Moving up top we have a central Rose Gold coloured 510 plate which is raised just enough to protect the device's surface while not giving visible gaping, the 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded with a medium throw.
The device feels nice, looks nice and is very well made with what seems a very durable finish.

NRG S Tank Overview
The NRG S Tank is the latest rendition of Vaporesso's popular NRG sub-ohm tank which seems to of been around forever along with the now extensive range of GT core coil heads. With the TPD version of the kit you receive the same coil heads but the NRG S Mini which is a smaller 2ml capacity version of the new tank, the full size tank is 8ml in capacity and also comes with a 5ml straight glass.
The new version has been designed especially for the Kit with the colours matching the devices perfectly and also having a knurled design top and bottom to mimic the finish of the device.
The top-cap rotates open with a really nice tolerance and is stiff enough to avoid opening when in the pocket. Once opened a nice size fill port is revealed and i was able to fill quickly and mess free! The base section screws off (well it's actually the top of the coil head unscrewing from the chimney) to undo the tank and the coil heads get screwed straight into the base. Finally we have large dual cyclops with stoppers which once again moves with a really nice tolerance, a good, solid sub-ohm tank!

The Coils
You receive the 2 Mesh coil heads in the GT range which are the GT Meshed coil head 0.18ohm rated between 50 and 85w and the updated GT4 Meshed coil head 0.15 rated between 50 and 75w.
As well as the 2 included coil heads all the GT range is compatible which is quite extensive!

Fitting The Batteries
The Gen accommodates dual 18650 batteries and we have the inclusion of a battery ribbon for easy removal. The side panel can be removed by getting your fingernail into the little notch on the base and once removed we can see it's secured by large magnets top and bottom.
Once again battery orientation is marked Black on Black which i just don't like and with this being pointed out so often if you are going to add S to the title of a device giving the impression something is new then at least update it and address things like this, other than that no complaints. The panel fits in place very securely and on the device i received i have absolutely no play of any kind, good job!
