Materials and Durability

The wood is a strong and dense African Blackwood, with an 18mm glass lined joint inside. The wood is strong, however the glass inside is prone to cracking, should the device be accidentally dropped as it is a more inexpensive Chinese made glass (as opposed to the thicker walled German glass used in the US made versions).

Design and Aesthetics

Its a 510 vape, so there isn't much you can do with it design-wise. Its simple, pretty, and plain.

Portability

I would not consider this a portable device...I would classify this more as an 'at home portable' allowing you to use it anywhere in the house, but it probably shouldn't leave the house.

Performance and Quality

Vapor quality is some of the best out there in regards to the on demand genre. You get dense, fluffy, flavorful vapor in a matter of seconds.

User Experience & Maintenance

Easy peazy. Everything takes place in the stem, so no need to ever really clean the vape itself. Just soak the stem in ISO for a while, rinse, dry, and its good to go.

Discretion

This style vape is not discrete in my opinion. None of the 510 style vapes that go on mods are stealthy, so if that is a requirement, I would probably not recommend this vape.

Pros

Instant on and off vapor with quality convection output
Compatible with most mods without specialized firmware
Minimal cleaning requirements
Excellent flavor profile
Non-glowing mesh coil design without off-gassing
Compatible with numerous aftermarket stems via 18mm glass joint

Cons

Fragile glass joint limits true portability
Not discreet in appearance

Value for the Money

This is a good buy for the $80 or so dollars that it costs...getting a Splinter is a no brainer.

Comparison

This vape is by far the best in class in the 510 category...the Splinter stands apart as the best truly 'on demand' 510 vape on the market.

Final Verdict

Im a big fan...This is simply the best you can get in the 510 category. The only other one that performs better would be the Splinter's big brother, the Splinter Z.
