Aesthetics and Ergonomics
There has definitely been a rise in themed devices and as long as a line isn't crossed which means the device, whether intentionally or not is appealing to the young in my opinion it's fine. Many adults enjoy Spiderman films and this device is not cartoon like, but just uses certain aesthetic features like webbing effect to make the device different. I like the look of the Wall Crawler and Vaptio in my opinion has not crossed the line here. The device has 2 identical sides which is a continuation of the up and down wavy design of the mod, one of these sides is the fire bar. Front and back has an identical shaped panel which is like a square with a triangle attached top and bottom so the shape continues the flow of the wavy up and down nature of the aesthetics. The front panel houses a 1.3" colour screen central, and underneath the screen we have the up and down buttons shaped like eyes. The back panel has a Silver sinister looking spider design which includes "WALL CRAWLER" and Vaptio branding within the design. The side sections, buttons and surround of the panels are the colour of choice, the rest of the device is black. Above and below what I've already described there is a webbing effect which i personally really like. The top of the device houses a spring loaded 510 one side and the battery cap the other. The bottom of the device has branding, safety stamps and venting. The build quality of the device is very high quality and the threading on the battery cap is the best i have come across. I found the device very comfortable to hold, the sides help with grip and it is pocket friendly. The included Throne tank comes in matching colour and the black one i received has nice gold joints.

Using the Wall Crawler
The Wall Crawler is the normal 5 clicks on and off. The Screen has a multicoloured edged circle central, in this circle (again central) is displayed the wattage or temperature depending what mode you are in. Above the wattage/temp it shows the seconds of your current vape and at the bottom of the circle it displays hard, soft or normal if you are in wattage mode, or what wire type if you are in temp control. Top left of the screen there is a battery status icon, top right what mode you are in, bottom left volts and finally bottom right ohms. To enter the menu system is 3 clicks which brings up 4 icons which are, mode, settings, theme and back. Obviously back takes you back to the main screen and if you choose theme there is currently only the theme the device is using, so i assume soon there will be other themes that can be uploaded. Choosing mode brings up a list of options which are VW (choosing this allows you to choose hard, soft or normal), TC (choosing this bring up options i will go through a bit later), CCW (custom curves for wattage mode with 4 memory slots), CCT (custom curves for temp control, again with 4 memory slots) and finally bypass. If you choose TC it brings up the following options, T-Unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit), SS, NI, TI, TCR1, TCR2 and T-Criteria. Choosing the settings icon brings up the following options, System (just hardware info and reset), Smoke time (allows you to set how long it allows you to vape, it is set on the standard 10 secs but this can be altered from 3-10secs), Sleep time (set screen timeout and auto shutdown) and Inner resistance (when putting fresh batteries in you can check the health of them). Navigating the menu is using the up and down button and fire to select, also each screen at the bottom has a back and home option. The only false move Vaptio has made is "Smoke time" please Vaptio firmware upgrade to alter this to vape time, i don't smoke anymore i vape. The menu is sleek and very easy to navigate around.
Performance
Putting the battery in is positive down, the orientation is marked and again i will mention the threading. The first couple of reviews i did with this style of battery cap i mentioned the threading wasn't great and then i stopped as i thought it would always be the case but here Vaptio proofed me wrong, it is very nicely done. The Wall Crawler first appeared on the Vaptio website i believe back in November but has only just become available, they made sure the device was spot on before releasing and it is the best low wattage device i have used. It fires instantly and is very accurate. Rather than making this a 100w device which a single 18650 struggles to achieve, they made it 80W so you get what is claimed. The custom curves (which is always a feature i like using) work great. A 26mm tank sits flush and the device is firmware upgradable. Vaptio products are always very good with their battery management and there is no exception here, for a single 18650 device the battery life is very good.
Pros
Very good quality
Unique design
User friendly, sleek menu system
Fires instantly
Not underpowered
Custom Curves wattage
Custom Curves Temp control
Temp Control
Very good battery life (relative)
Pocket Friendly
Large colour Screen
Throne Tank MTL/DL
Cons
Not for high wattage vapers
Single battery (not as good battery life as duel)
Must Change Please Vaptio
"Smoke time" we don't smoke we vape.
Conclusion
A very good low wattage device packed with features, the included Throne tank is a great bonus.
I would once again like to thank Jason from Vaptio for supplying the Wall Crawler Kit for the purpose of this review.
