    Hello and welcome back for yet another review. This time I will be taking a look at the vaporesso Gen SE kit that was sent to me by Sourcemore in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The kit comes with the Gen SE mod which makes use of an external 18650 battery and has a .96” TFT display. It makes use of the Axon chip to provide a 5-80 watt output range. Also included in the kit is the iTank T tank which has a standard liquid capacity of 3ml but can be increased to 6ml with the included spare glass. It uses COREX 2.0 technology while using the same GTi coils that were used in previous versions of the iTank.

    INITIAL THOUGHTS:


    The packaging for the Gen SE is what I have come to expect from Vaporesso products. I have been a longtime fan of Vaporesso products like the Xros line of products and the iTank along with the GTi coils that I use daily. The front of the box has a black background with the Vaporesso logo in green. There is a nice color picture of the actual device contained inside. The back side of the box has a list of specifications along with a contents list and company information.

    Once the outer cover is slid off then the Gen SE mod can be seen with a clear plastic wrap around it, the iTank T with .2 ohm GTi coil pre-installed, spare .4 ohm GTi coil, spare bubble glass(6ml), USB-C charging cable, and user manual. There are also some spare seals included which are tucked into the spare glass.

    The Gen SE mod makes use of a single external 18650 battery. I was curious as to why it wasn’t made to take a 21700 battery until I actually received it and saw that it was much smaller than I expected. The panel on one side is removed to load the battery. The panel is held on with very strong magnets and there is no movement once it is installed. The battery polarity is clearly marked and there is a battery warning on the back side of the panel.

    For some reason the pictures I took make the mod look much lighter in color than it actually is. It is a very nice dark blue. One side of the mod has the Vaporesso logo etched on it while the other side has the actual Vaporesso name etched on it. This is a really sharp looking mod.

    The 510 plate is centered in the top of the mod and is held in place by three torx head screws. The 510 center pin is plated and spring loaded.

    The bottom of the mod has the company and product name printed on it and is secured by two black torx screws. There is a cut out on the bottom that can be seen in the picture which is where you can get a fingernail inserted to remove the side cover to install the battery.

    The front of the mod has a large round fire button on top followed by the vibrant display, adjustment buttons, lock switch, and USB-C charging port. The display shows the following information.

    • Battery level indicator
    • Lock/ unlock symbol
    • Mode of operation
    • Set wattage
    • Coil resistance
    • Puff counter
    • Theme display( 3 options)
    The button/ menu operation is as follows.

    • Press the fire button 5X to turn the device on/off
    • Press the fire button 3X to enter the menu where you can choose from F(t), Pulse, Eco, VV, Themes(3 available), Setting, Smart, and Puffs.

    The Gen SE kit comes with the iTank T sub ohm tank. It makes use of the same GTi coils that the previous two versions of the iTank used. Included are the .2 ohm and .4 ohm coils. I have been a longtime fan of the .4 ohm coils. The .2 ohm coil is really good but the operating range for it is just a little out of my comfort zone.

    I really like how they have changed the way that this tank opens. Instead of it rotating like the original or pushing a button so that it flips out like the second version, this one is a push style but the cap slides very far out of the way to allow filling with just about any bottle. There is a red arrow on the side of the top cap to show the user where to push to open it for filling. The fill port has a rubber gasket covering the fill port opening which I’m not really a big fan of because it can get messy if filling with a glass dropper bottle.

    The airflow control ring is knurled and there are numbers printed underneath so that you can easily tell how far you are opening the airflow control. This allows the user to get the exact same airflow setting every time. The tank comes with the straight glass pre-installed but there is also a bubble glass section included which boosts the liquid capacity to 6ml. As is the case with any new tank, it’s a good idea to disassemble the tank and give it a good cleaning in some hot and soapy water.

    FINAL THOUGHTS:

    It has been a real pleasure testing the Vaporesso Gen SE kit. I feel like the mod is really a great size and fits my hand well. On top of that, it’s just beautiful to look at. It makes use of the Axon chip and fires quickly every time without any misfires. I feel like the mod wasn’t given much attention in the promotional images compared to the number of pictures that targeted the iTank T and coils. The mod deserves more attention in my opinion. It has every feature that I could ask for as well as offering three different display themes.

    I have been a long time user of the original iTank and the GTi coils and honestly didn’t really notice much difference in flavor and vapor production between the original iTank and the new iTank T. I guess this makes sense since they are using the same coils. I do like the change in how the top cap opens on the new tank. It is a nice addition that there is a scale printed under the airflow control ring.

    I really don’t have any negatives or cons when it comes to the Gen Se kit. I would like to thank Sourcemore for sending this kit for my review. Also thanks to the readers for sticking it out until the end of my review. Below is a link to the website if you’d like to pick one up for yourself.
