DESIGN BUILD QUALITY USABLILITY THIS WILL GET YOUR COGS TURNING!!! The Punk 220 is another steam punk style mod from Tesla. The mod is made of copper and feels very weighty in-hand. One of the nice things about this mod is it feels well built, a solid construct. The sides have a clear plastic covering allowing the internal cog style designs to be visible. The internals also feature a LED light display that has a variety of modes. The front of the device has a medium screen size with the light option button and +/- buttons beneath. The fire button is large and has a nice firm press which just adds to the build quality. The final visual aspect is the battery door which is a slide and magnetise cover that sits flush and firm with the shape. The problem with the battery housing is wrapped batteries get stuck. The device has multiple material modes and a featured TCR mode. The variable wattage mode increases and decreases in 0.5 increments. The menu of this mod is accessed by a three press system and this allows you to cycle through the on screen options which lead to sub menus. The power modes on this device are especially good for a variety of tanks. I personally use a high wattage range sub ohm tank with this and it reacts perfectly with the hard setting which fires up immediately but may reduce the lifespan of the chosen coils. For the mouth to lung tanks the soft mode is also perfect as it gives a delay and steady heat up to a higher resistance coil. The Punk 220 also features a user mode that allows the wave bands to be customised which is perfect for the custom builds, making this device really universal. Overall the device holds the battery well and has a selection of modes that are suitable for all users. The power output is glitch free and makes for a perfect vaping experience. The one issue I had with this device is there is no off switch, although with five presses it locks and will eventually go into a standby mode. The build of this mod is outstanding and Tesla have cut no corners on this front. With great looks and easy, step-by-step usability, this mod is perfect for all users providing a suitable tank is found. Great job Tesla! BUILT-IN LED LIGHTS WITH MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS 174 | VM15
