Asmodus Minikin is a dual 18650 battery
operated mod. The actual mod itself is
quite small and compact, considering
that it runs on two batteries which can
normally make mods quite chunky. The
battery compartment is accessed via a
magnetic plate which slides on and off
the mod.
There is no internal charging mechanism
so the batteries must be removed
to charge. This may be a slight
inconvenience for some people. I found
it unpractical and a little inconvenient
too, as I’m a frequent traveller and take
a battery charger with me (which can
take up valuable space in my suitcase).
I would also not recommend this device
138 ISSUE 04 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE
for a beginner. However it’s perfect for
someone who has been vaping for a few
months and who wants to use a device
that will allow for a much better vape
than starter kits offer.
The mod itself has a temperature control
chip and allows for both power and
temperature control operations. TC is
offered with Ni and Ti coils.
The Minikin allows for a minimum
resistance of 0.1 ohms, making it perfect
for using with many tanks and atomisers
on the market. It is unsuitable for those
who enjoy building their own coils with
very low resistances.
I used two atomisers with this mod; an
Aspire Cleito tank with a 0.2ohm coil and
council of Vapor Royal Hunter Mini RDA.
The coils had a combined resistance of
about 0.12 ohms. This device produced
a beautiful vape on both of these
atomisers and I have to say I really do
love using this mod. It's visually stunning
and produces a great vape on both the
atomisers used.
USING THE MINIKIN
The mod comes with three buttons,
a large fire button on the front of the
device above an OLEM display. Two
more buttons are on the side + and - to
increase and decrease the power.
To turn it on you press the fire button 5
times, to lock the system you press the
fire and + button together and go through
the same process to unlock it. To switch
it off, press the fire button five times and
then press +, off it goes.
The practicality of this mod is great.
The round edges and high gloss finish
on the paint give the mod a feel of real
quality. The rounded edges make it very
pleasant to hold and the functionality of
the buttons is pretty straight forward.
The Minikin also has different modes
that can be accessed by pressing the
fire button 5 times. To toggle through
the various modes, you also use the
fire button. From this menu you can
choose whether to go into power mode,
Temperature Control mode, or if you
wish to invert the colours or change the
brightness on the display screen.
At the time of writing this I have been
using the Minikin all day everyday for
about three weeks. I have travelled from
Poland to the UK and from the UK to
Vegas and North Carolina. As you can
imagine my mods can get quite a lot of
punishment getting put in my luggage
and various bags. A major plus point, is
that the paint is holding up remarkably
well and still looks pristine, which is not
something I have always found with
other mods which can look quite battered
after the same period of time.
CONCLUSION
This is a great piece of kit that I would
definitely recommend to anyone with a
bit of experience vaping. I give it 8/10
as I would like to see an internal USB
charging point, although it is a small
minus on an otherwise great device.
