Usually reviewers make close up video before they making face video. My close up video is done at the moment and i want to tell you - to understand and show this chip i spend more time, than i spend on DNA chip
Asmodus try hard to make this chip
I'm almost done but i want to wish Lex good luck and patience(because he's gonna need it while making subtitles for this video)
Okay folks, without further delays let's roll. Intro...
Hopochki HEY
Hello everyone! Alex from VapersMD is here
And i'm glad to welcome you on my channel
Today our guest is Lustro 200w by Asmodus
LampO, KrevetkO
Yes Misha, LustrO
This regulated box mod is made by Asmodus who's made many great box mods in past that is liked by many vapers
Parilshikam(same vapers but with different context - don't ask), ex-smokers, people who uses personal vape devices, Personal Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems users
Okay, let's stop laugh at definitions of this word and let's talk about this device - the chip in here is very interesting, there is also touch-screen
And a lot of other features that this chip can provide which i will demonstrate to you in close up
Also this box mod supports firmware upgrade and powered by 2*18650 and it have LED backlight and it have F%#&&G flashlight
Close up is gonna be interesting
Let's roll
Okay folks, it's time to unbox this Lustro
Here we have transparent package, on the sides we have name, logos, it also says 21+, scratch-code
On the rear we have description of a features and specs, link to the official site, warnings, kit content and BIG logo of Asmodus
Under the cover we have box mod itself
And under the foam we have User Manual, Warranty Card and Battery Safety guide
By the way under the battery door, inside the 18650 slots we have USB - Type C cable which is required for charging and firmware upgrade
Now let's talk about specs of this device
This mod is made of zinc alloy and available in 2 color options - painting and soft-touch covering with different color palettes
Mod is driven by the Asmodus' chip GX200HUTC which gives 200W of power and supports all the modes that is actual to this date
The lower ohm limit is at 0.08ohm, though manufacturer claims it's 0.1ohm
Besides all the features i will show you later on this mod also have infrared sensor for gesture control. Also it have flashlight and LED backlight
This mod is powered by 2*18650 and can be charged via Type C with 0.5A current
It's time for detailed overview and as always we start from the top and in order
At the top we have metal connector with metal spring-loaded pin
I think you noticed that one edge is not like all others but that's due to LED backlight
If we look closer on the connector we will see that it's a bit protruding. That's made to prevent top part being damaged or scratching
This is control panel. It have Fire button with LED backlight, touch screen and Type C slot
Also we have white stripe - it have LED inside
This side is empty - we can only see part of battery door
Here we have actual battery door with vent holes in it and it also have Asmodus logo
This side is identical to other side
At the bottom we have 2 LED lights flashlight, vent holes and certificates
Now it's time to talk about battery door. Pay attention - there is 2 big gaps - at the top and at the bottom, that's sad.
Battery door sits tight and have no play which is good.
That battery door is hold by 4 magnets - 2 at the cover and 2 at the main body
Inside we see a slots for 2*18650 batteries with stickers which shows the correct way to install them
They have a notice that we need to Push up a bit to insert the batteries because contacts is spring-loaded on both sides
Also they show the correct polarity
In here we have warranty seal
And we have a ribbon for convenient extraction of the batteries
Let's install the batteries, first goes negative DOWN
Second goes negative UP.
Push a little and we're done with installation
After this done click the battery door in place and this mod is ready to work. And we're ready to continue
To turn On this mod you need to hit Fire button 5 times
Raz, dva, tri, chetire, pyat'(1-2-3-4-5)
And instantly we have important notice appeared on the screen
It asking if our batteries is "married" - this side we have Yes, this side No
Sadly you won't be able to see it because of camera
If you press No the mod will turn off and won't turn on again no matter how many times you hit Fire button
That's why we need to re-install the batteries
One two three four five
Tap yes and the mod is loading
On the screen we have following information - mode, voltage, resistance, you can say speedometer, adjustable wattage, battery life, Preheat option
Indication of Infrared sensor(is it on or off) and lock indication which shows is your mod locked or unlocked
First thing we can do is to unlock the screen - it can be unlocked in two ways - either swipe down or tap on the screen three times(but this option is within the menu)
After you unlock you see the open lock on the screen
Of course we can swipe between mods like so - here we have TC
Here's the Curve mode - in here you can adjust you wattage/time curve
TCR mode and TFR mode
And Power mode
Here we have a speedometer - if we click on it on the bottom it will change value 10W - now it showing us either time of the draw or your current wattage
You can also adjust your wattage - click on the wattage and you will get the menu like this - it have + and - buttons
You can adjust the wattage with 0.1 increments. If you tap and hold adjustment will switch to turbo mode
To apply just hit Fire Button
Next thing we can do - adjust the Preheat.
At the moment its set on Hard and if we swipe up we can choose Slow
Or Normal
Or get back to Hard
In TC mode we can adjust the information that speedometer displays
Also we can change between wattage and temp limit
If we just tap it will change and if we tap and hold it will give us option to adjust the value
If we tap and hold on the name of the mode, in this case TC - it will give us to select the wire we're using
Next mode - Curve. If we tap and hold on those zeros we are get into adjustment menu
On the left we adjust wattage, on the right side we can adjust time
If we swipe up with unlocked screen we can change Presets between P1, P2, P3, P4
Next is TCR mode. This mode is for fine tuning of TC.
Again this is switching between temp limit and wattage
If we tap and hold on TCR it will allow us to adjust it
Also we have Memory - M1, M2, M3 and so on
Next mode is TFR - it adjusts almost as TCR
At the moment we have the screen locked and this isn't all the features with locked screen i can show
If we swipe down we will unlock it, but if we swipe up it will lead us to menu, where we can turn On and Off infrared scanner and Flashlight
Upper button is for Infrared scanner. Right now it's off. Let's turn it On and i will demonstrate how it works
To make it work we need to unlock the screen and now you can just swipe between the modes
In both directions
Also you can select your Presets by swiping Up and Down accordingly
Next is the Flashlight. Tap on that button and we get the picture of the flashlight on the screen
Now we can adjust the Flashlight which is on the bottom. Tap once and it will turn On 1st LED, tap second time and the 2nd LED will light up.
I can't say it's very bright, but it gives enough light.
And like so we turn it Off
If your Flashlight is On and you press the Fire button it will automatically turn Off and you will get to the main screen
Folks, I have not finished yet
We have another Menu and we can get there by pressing Fire button 5 times
1-2-3-4-5
Here's the Menu button.
You can turn Off the device
Swipe to the left lead us to next tab which is Day Puff limit.
I have to turn off the lights because otherwise you won't be able to see s$&t.
Next tab will reset your Puff counter
In here you can select the design of the speedometer - Real or Fun. I didn't get the difference. Whatever.
Next - Firmware upgrade. When you tap it will ask if you want to upgrade. Tap Yes and i will show you what's gonna happen next but a bit later
Next is Firmware Info and chip version info.
Next tab is LED backlight adjustment. It allow you to adjust the speed of it. There is several modes - Fast, Slow, Medium
Next tab is for turning this LED On and Off. And the fact that you can turn it Off is good.
In here you can select LED color from Red, Blue, Green. But we will stay on Red.
Next tab is Lock - in here you can adjust how you will lock and unlock this device. You can do it by the Slide or Click. To unlock it with Click you have to click 3 times. Let's set Click.
Next tab is for Screen Active time. Right now it's set on 10 seconds, you can lower it down to 3 seconds or raise it up to 60 seconds
Next tab is for resistance lock. You can do it manually, though this mod do it automatically. But you can adjust it to certain value if you know your resistance for sure.
And we got back to Power On/Off tab
Aside from that if you click on Fire button 3 times
1-2-3
Then we will do System Lock - in this mode whatever you click or press - the mod will not react.
Raz dva tri
Unlocked. Now it's functional.
Regarding screen lock - we set the Click-type. For example if we tap the screen says Click screen 3x to unlock.
One, two, three. Raz, dva, tri. 1-2-3. Four, five.
One, two, threeee~
VOT
Unlocked. That's why i like Slide method more.
Let's get back to Power Mode and let's see how's this LED works
To make it happen we need to screw down atomizer and we're ready to test
When i press Fire button sort of wave or level, i don't know how to call it, going on
Fire button have LED backlight as well
As i said we can select different colors - Blue, Green and Red or turn it off completely.
V celom(C pronounced as TS)
Okay friends, this is all regarding features of this mod
Let's see how this box mod fit bigger atomizers
For example - Gorgon RDCA which is 26mm in diameter fits great with no overhangs, though it's maximum what this mod can fit.
Size-wise Lustro is looks like so when compared to other box mods that is also powered by 2*18650
As you can see it's average
Another important information - once you plugged the cable to charge your mod it will not fire. There is no pass-through option in here
One great thing about Type C - no matter how you plug the cable - the charge will go anyway
That was all i could tell you about features, now it's time to show you how Firmware upgrade works
To do so we need to go to my PC. Let's roll.
First thing we should do - go to the Asmodus official site - asmodus.com
Next - Support, Downloads
Scroll down and find Lustro
It's already 2 versions of firmware - 2.2 and 2.3. I recommend to install 2.2 and then 2.3
But first we need to download Updater Program
Click and download. And then download both firmwares
As you can see i already done that step so let's go to the firmware upgrade
Updater Program is lay in archive so you need to unpack only this file
Next click on it and the Updater will open
Now we need to plug in the mod to the PC. To do so let's go to the menu and select Firmware Upgrade
Box mod will ask if you want to Upgrade. Once you press Yes you need to hold Fire Button. Now we have a Download Mode line
Now you can plug in the Type C and press Connect button in the Updater Program. This button change the color to green - it means everything goes correctly
Next click File and select version 2.2. I already did that so i install 2.3
After this done click Upgrade and wait till it's done
Upgrade complete - self-explanatory
Box mod automatically disconnects and reboot
Remove the cable and turn the box mod On
Click Yes on Married batteries and now our box mod has firmware upgraded
Okay friends, that's all i could tell you in this close up
Let's go back to the face-time and speak of its pros and cons
Thanks for your attention in this close up and on my PC desktop
Let's roll
On top i have atomizer by Asmodus named...
.............................................................oO
I forgot the name. ZESTHIA
We're not gonna speak about this RTA, we are gonna speak about this box mod and as always we start with cons
First con goes from my inner perfectionist - pay attention - all control elements is not centered due to the angle with LED stripe is shifted
Because of that all control elements went offcenter to the right
My inner perfectionist is pissed off. I look at this mod and i see asymmetry. For example - atomizers sits in center and Fire button is positioned to the right or left - whatever you like
Me personal con for asymmetry
Next con goes for laggy touch screen. I think you noticed it - sometimes it works not as it should. Especially it's noticeable when you try to unlock the screen with 3x clicks
My point is - the control icons is very small and sometimes it's hard to get on them with your big fingers. Maybe that's why it lag
It's possible that it works fine - but not with ordinary human fingers
And last con i'll give for those gaps between main body and battery door
Yes, even though the battery door sits good there is gaps and it's a con
Nitpicking
I have only one nitpick - this box mod is overfilled with features.
Yes, it's cool, but on the other hand this whole functional is in box mod itself. Someone would say it's great and convenient that you don't have to plug it to PC and connect with software
BUT. You won't be using 80% of this features on daily basis and i guess it's more convenient to make all adjustments once in software and just use it with the features you actually need
That's why it's very easy to get lost in menu of this box mod. You can swipe in all directions, do random taps. Too many things and huge menu can get you confused
Some of beginners may even get scared by this huge functional. That's why i think that some features should be in software
Let's talk pros now
First pro i'll give for the chip with many features. The chip is great, i like how it works in Power Mode
There is almost no delay on Fire button.
Besides this mod have huge functional with many features some of them you may not even need
One of those unnecessary features is Flashlight. C'mon guys, everyone have cell phone. Every cell phone have Flashlight. Flashlight feature in here is unnecessary
But there is some really cool features like firmware upgrade and option to turn the LED Off. It's very bright.
Next pro i'll give for fitting large diameter atomizers - up to 26mm. And it's good.
Another pro goes for soft-touch coating. When you hold this mod it feels like something rubberized. Some of you might like it, some of you will not, but it's convenient and comfortable. That's why i give a pro for coating.
Another pro i'll give for solid battery door. It have no play and sits firmly. Good battery door - major pro
And last pro i'll give to this box mod for how its built. It feels like a monolith piece with no rattle etc. I will give props for that - it will make using of this mod more comfortable
The price on the official site is 79.95$
If you will look at all features - this is good price for this mod.
If you are geek and you want the box mod that can do everything and have a Flashlight - i think it's worth the money. And it's have pretty compact size as well.
Of course you can leave a comment with your opinion regarding the price - it will be interesting to read
