dotAIO V2 Lite Battery Pack
Among the large number of vape manufacturers dotMod have always been in a special position, since each of their device became, is becoming and probably will become a hit of sales. After the total transition of most Australian vape shop to the production of POD-systems and sub-mods dotMod also began to produce their own versions of their devices, which not only became popular, but also served as an example for the creation of similar devices by other manufacturers. One of the most legendary devices is considered a dotAIO, which has already been in the Mini version, and improved to the second series. It was with the dotAIO V2 version that the developers of the company decided to experiment a little and made a number of not the most fundamental changes, so the dotmod DotAIO V2 Lite Pod Mod saw the light – the device is interesting and quite practical.
The design of Dotmod DotAIO V2 Lite Pod Mod is absolutely the same as the second version – it’s a neat rectangular device with rounded corners. Due to the same dimensions the updated version is fully compatible with interchangeable panels designed for DotAIO V2. The main feature and difference between the Lite version and the previously released V2 is that it uses lightweight plastic, so the Dotmod DotAIO V2 Lite Pod Mod weighs 81 grams, which is 7 grams less than the regular V2. The difference, of course, is not the most fundamental, but it is still there.
The maximum power of 75 watts is provided by a traditional 18650 battery installed under the magnetically held panel with the “Fire” button. If the need arises, the battery can be charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device, with a current of 2A.
Dotmod DotAIO V2 Lite Pod Mod works under the control of a proprietary chipset, thanks to which you can get not only the power up to 75 watts, but also a good functionality, as a vaper can use several modes – auto, VW, TK, bypass. The “Fire” button is located in the hole on the side panel, and the “+/-” buttons are hidden under the panel.
Another radical change in the Dotmod DotAIO V2 Lite Pod Mod compared to the V2 version is that the display is hidden behind the translucent plastic, which makes the image on it a little blurry, but still quite readable. If you want, the vaper can change the color scheme for better visibility.
DotAIO V2 Lite Pod Cartridge
Especially for the Dotmod DotAIO V2 Lite Pod Mod a new cartridge was designed, which is very similar to the one used in previous versions, so it is easy to replace it with serviceable version, such as dotshell rba. The cartridge is located under the removable panel. The cartridge is designed for installation of Coil Mesh 316L vaporizers with 0,3 and 0,7 ohm resistance. To adjust the airflow in the cartridge a special adapter is used, in which the vaporizer is installed. To refill the cartridge, you need to remove the side panel, open the silicone cap on its side and pour 2.7 ml of liquid.
Conclusions and impressions
To be honest, it is not quite clear to update Dotmod DotAIO V2 Lite Pod Mod relative to the standard second version, because the weight has not changed much, and to control the main parameters of the device became worse. But at the same time vaper will get the same productive, functional and stylish device, having used it you will hardly want to go back to the Chinese analogues.
