Wismec Sinuous P80 Review – Sin City
Review: Wismec SINUOUS P80 Review
Manufacturing Quality
The manufacturing quality of the Wismec Sinuous P80 is good. Like the Predator, there isnt really anything groundbreaking about the mod itself. Its pretty much a standard single 18650 mod, just with a little bit different design.
Ill give the design credit though, I do really like it. I specifically like the rounded edges the whole way around because it feels great in the hand. They make it feel even smaller than it already is because of how comfortable it is to hold it.
The fire button is a whole side trigger. The interesting thing is that the screen is also located on this side, as are the two additional buttons for adjusting the settings. This setup is probably one of the reasons they were able to keep things so compact. The screen is functional but nothing special. It has all the details you need and is relatively easy to read.
Thats really all there is to the mod. Like I said, its a pretty basic setup. The colors it is available in are Black, Red, Blue, Silver, and Bronze.
The kit comes with the Elabo mini tank. It only has a 2ml capacity, but I still like it a lot. This shouldnt be surprising, because I also really like the normal Elabo tank. There are a couple of specific reasons.
For starters, its just made well and the coil performance is great. Second, it fills from the top, but the drip tip locks the sliding top in place. To open it, you have to remove the drip tip first. This setup keeps things quick and easy, but also prevents it from accidentally opening when youre carrying it. It also makes it more childproof. If you are looking for a 510-thread battery for oil cartridges we suggest checking out the PCKT One Plus.
Flavour Quality
The vapor quality of the Wismec Sinuous P80 is excellent It only comes with one type of coil (2 are included in the box), but that coil manages to deliver a surprisingly nice blend of both flavour and cloud production. It is a single barrel triple coil with a 0.2ohm resistance. The coil can handle up to 80W, but I found the best performance to be around 50W.
The flavour also stays good throughout the recommended range. A lot of coils start delivering very muted flavour when you use them at the higher end of their wattage range, but the difference wasnt so severe with these. This is good news for people who prefer denser, warmer vapor. People who use 510 cartridges tend to prefer the CCELL Silo.
Power Flexibility
The power flexibility of the Wismec Sinuous P80 is good. For a while, we were seeing vapes with all kinds of new features and settings, but over the last year, an equilibrium seems to have been reached.
For the most part, almost every vape has the exact same power options relative to the battery they use. In the case of a single 18650, this means around 75-80W of power, temperature control options, and maybe some TCR options.
Thats exactly what the P80 has. 80W maximum power output. Temperature control options for nickel, titanium, and stainless steel with a range of 200F to 600F. Bypass and TCR modes. A minimum resistance of 0.05ohm in the TC modes and 0.1ohm in wattage mode.
Like power flexibility, the overall ease of using a vape has become fairly standardized. This has 3 buttons total, one of which is the side firing trigger. The other two are the up and down buttons, and youll need to memorize a couple of button combinations to fully take advantage of the functionality. This rarely takes more than a few minutes when you first get the mod.
The Elabo mini tank is also very easy to use. It has an airflow adjustment ring on the bottom and it fills from the top. You have to remove the drip tip to access the fill port, but this really isnt much of an inconvenience.
Portability
The portability of this is good. It is extremely small, and the form factor makes it very comfortable to keep in your hand over longer periods of time.
Its also small enough to slip into a pocket without discomfort. The Elabo mini tank only has a 2ml capacity, so you may want something bigger if you want to go a longer time without needing to refill. The mod can fit tanks up to 25mm.
The battery of the Wismec Sinuous P80 life is also good. To get the most life per charge, youll obviously want to vape at lower wattages.
Overall Experience
The Wismec Sinuous P80 is a good mod.
I have almost identical feelings about it as I do towards the Wismec Predator. There really isnt anything new here. Theres no reason to run out and buy one if you already have a similarly sized mod. There are so many other mods out there that do exactly the same thing that it does.
But if you dont have a mod yet and this is the style you are looking for, this would be a great one to get. The design is a little better than most thanks to the rounded sides and small size. There doesnt seem to be anything missing that you would want, unless you want more power. But to get that, youll need another battery inside.
The Elabo mini tank is nice. Id rather get the regular Elabo in the kit because it has a bigger capacity, bigger coils and more coil options, but I get that including the mini is about keeping the entire kit small and portable. The performance of the mini in terms of both flavour and cloud production would make it a good first tank if you dont have others, or a good portable option when you want a smaller setup.
If you want something extremely simple, check out the Kandypens Rubi and if you are looking for a mod style kit to start with we recommend the Vaporesso Revenger.
