Stick-style kits have always been
a good option for new sub-ohm
vapers who don’t want to mess around
with settings or removable batteries.
Because of their accessibility, these kinds of
kits have become very popular with beginners,
so does the Sky Solo Plus perform this role?
The fit, finish and construction are all great, as you
would expect from Vaporesso. The body is made from
aluminium, giving the device a sturdy feel, whilst being
lightweight for its size. The tolerances are spot on too, so
there’s no button rattle or unsightly gaps to worry about here.
Vaporesso have opted for an all-in-one tank connection. This
means there is no standard 510 connection on offer, so you’ll have
to use the provided tank and Baby Beast compatible coils with this kit.
The omni board is a much more stripped back iteration, offering simple
protections such as short circuit, time out and low voltage cut-off rather than
a full suite of features. This may not please advanced vapers, but for those who
want a fool proof sub-ohm device it’s ideal.
The integrated tank that sits at the top of the device is a simplified version of the NRG
platform that has been around for quite some time now. This version has a very simple
threaded top fill system with huge, forgiving fill ports and no adjustable airflow. I was quite
sceptical about the lack of airflow control ring but found that wide open this is more restricted
than usual, and so should be suitable for the majority of new sub-ohm vapers.
The included 0.18Ohm GT mesh coils are as good as they’ve ever been, providing some of the very best
flavour and vapour output amongst baby beast style coils. It is worth noting that their power requirements
are at the higher end of the Sky Solo Plus’s output limits, though, so whilst they will provide a lovely vape,
they do take a toll on that single 3000mAh internal cell. It would have been nice to see a slightly higher
resistance mesh coil with this kit, in a similar vein to Geekvape’s X2, that has a sweet spot of 40W. Even with
these power-hungry coils though, you can expect over half a day’s moderate usage on a charge, and Vaporesso’s
quick charging does minimise down time.
With solid build quality, a huge array of coil choices and reliable protections from Vaporesso’s Omni chip, the Sky Solo
Plus is a compelling choice for the new sub-ohm vaper who wants a no-frills device.
