Occasionally , a device that receives almost no pre-release hype turns out to be a sleeper hit . This is the case with the Vaporesso Armour Pro . With its minimalist aesthetic , you could be forgiven for assuming that the Armour is a basic starter kit , but this slender single-cell device packs a lot under the hood . Construction , fit and finish are outstanding for such a reasonably-priced piece of hardware . The whole unit feels very solid and precisely engineered . This is a lightweight device , but not to the extent that it feels flimsy or cheap . The build quality alone makes the Armour Pro feel much more expensive that it is , and that must be commended .
Ergonomically , the device is fantastic . Curved edges , a slim profile and large fire bar make for a very comfortable user experience . This is the smallest 21700 compatible device that I ’ ve come across , and it ’ s astonishing that Vaporesso have managed to keep the chassis so compact .
It ’ s some kind of miracle that the Omni-Board 4.0 fits in the Armour Pro with space to spare for a large external cell , but the result is a fully-featured yet stealthy mod . It retains all the settings found in Vaporesso ’ s latest full-sized releases , albeit with a lower maximum wattage due to its single-celled nature . The chipset is extremely quick and ramp up times are totally non-existent .
Power output is smooth and consistent , which makes for a satisfying vape every time . Temperature control , power curves and preheat settings will allow advanced users to dial in the vaping experience to their heart ’ s content .
Incorporating a 0.96 Inch OLED screen into the fire bar is a novel design choice and doesn ’ t interfere with navigating the many settings . It ’ s quite a small screen for a fully-featured device , but this doesn ’ t cause any inconvenience due to simple menu design . 2A quick charging ensures that you ’ ll never be caught out on a low charge for an extended period .
With so much choice on the market for inconspicuous , affordable mods , it ’ s quite a challenge these days to provide something which is head and shoulders above the competition , but the Vaporesso Armour Pro Kit absolutely delivers , and I am struggling to find a single fault with it . Perhaps the conservative aesthetics will be considered a boring choice by some vapers , but for myself and many others , this is as good as it gets .
