Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the VTBOX250C from Vapecige. The VTBOX 250C was sent for the purpose of this review by Trinity from Vapecige.

Introduction
The VTBOX250C is the latest device from Vapecige a manufacturer who i have reviewed various devices in the past, all have been excellent, the devices i reviewed used the IM chip which i assume is their own but more than happy to be corrected if that's not the case. The VTBOX250C is a massive upgrade from their VTBOX250 despite looking almost identical. This is the first DNA device i have reviewed but i do have another DNA device using an older chip which is why i said it was a massive upgrade as the new chip is a massive upgrade.
The VTBox250C features an incredible 98% output efficiency, and a maximum wattage output of 200W, full temperature control, boost, the all new Replay feature and coupled with Escribe software for the ultimate technology that combines efficiency and capability.

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The VTBOX250C is a big heavy device so not for some, and has a bit of a retro look that i do like. Ergonomically it's far from great, box shaped mods can surprise you and be surprisingly ergonomically friendly but the VTBOX250C is just too large and heavy so i would recommend as a desktop device. The device comes in 2 options, black chassis with black side panels and black chassis with red panels, i received the device with red panels. The side panels are identical with "VTBOX250C" printed very large and 5 large venting slots on the diagonal, one side panel is fixed and the other is the battery door which has an issue. I have seen another review and not sure how his door is moving around like that however there is movement when using your finger to check for movement which is annoying. If i lift one of the batteries just slightly i get the same movement as in the review i watched but with the batteries fitted correctly the movement is there but nothing like in that review in fact you get the movement without batteries so it's nothing to do with batteries not fitting correctly, it's slight side to side movement not up and down, the batteries do fit and the panel fits fine (Joyetech Ekee all over again, mine is in a cabinet and in use and while in cabinet has not fallen over once, yes it's a top heavy topple over candidate but a couple of reviews i saw made out it couldn't even stand up). The front of the device houses the 0.96" screen centrally, above this is a large round red fire button with loads of movement and rattle (not good at all), below the screen is the up, down and select red rectangular buttons which are an improvement on the fire button but still slight movement. The spine of the device has "VAPE CIGE" printed very large which i think looks good but will not be liked by some. The bottom of the device is featureless, moving to the top of the device and to one side we have a nice 510 plate with gold plated, spring loaded 510. The aesthetics of the device are very subjective, some will love the bold retro look others will not, build quality in general isn't bad but slight movement with the battery door and the loose cheap feeling fire button let's it down.
