THORVAP TC 100W E Cigarette Starter Kit Review

Nice solid powerful modbox with a very effective atomizer tank, this arrived in a neat slide sided branded blue and white box with the instructions on the top and modbox, atomizer tank, spare glass for the tank, spare coil and rubber seals fitted into custom slots in the black foam with the charging cable, dust cap and replacement silicone mouthpiece in a separate black box. I like to see these coming with spare parts for the tank and replacement coil something a lot of suppliers don’t give you.

The instructions are multilingual with the English being the first section, they are very clear and easy to follow with diagrams showing you exactly what you should be seeing at various stages, it also contains a FAQ sections a very helpful addition I have not seen in modbox instructions before and no doubt useful to anyone new to vaping or having issues.

After I unpacked it I looked at how to change the coil, this is something I always do with a new atomizer tank through previous experience of buying a new tank then struggling to find out how to take it apart to change the coil when it’s needed and I find it a much easier process if I already know. After doing this I put the modbox on charge and left the atomizer tank to fully soak in the juice, most recommend you leave it to soak around 5 minutes or so but I like to leave it longer.

The Thorvap TC 100w really is a beast, a heavy solid box as you would expect with a high capacity modbox and has a nice big ‘fire button’ which I like as it saves you struggling to find it when not looking, it starts up with 5 clicks on the fire button which seems to be the standard to turn on and off most modboxes, you enter the different modes with 3 clicks and 2 clicks changes the temperature mode from centigrade to fahrenheit or vice versa.

I will say at this point if you are new to vaping don’t be daunted by all the talk of different modes, with the coil and tank supplied I would suggest not worrying about different modes etc, fit the tank, fill the tank with juice and leave it to soak in a while, hit the fire button 5 times then put it to your mouth and press the fire button and test after that just adjust the air vents on the tank to control airflow to something you like and increase or decrease the wattage with the + and – buttons until you find a vape experience you like, everything else you can explore once you are happy.

The atomizer tank delivers a very nice smooth vape experience and brings a good flavour through, I have tried alternative silicone mouthpiece but prefer the standard black one it comes fitted with but this is a personal preference, I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unpacking, showing how to change the coil then running through the different modes and a bit of vaping.

What I liked
*************
- Lots of spare parts included for the tank plus a dust cap and spare mouthpiece
- Multitude of different modes with a very simple switching system
- Good solid modbox and nice design
- Large fire button and easy power control
- Charging port is at the front rather than on the bottom, something I like as it means you can stand it up while charging
- The atomizer tank is very nice and delivers a good vaping experience
- Well presented in a custom box so idea if you are buying as a gift for someone
- Good clear easy to follow manual with a helpful FAQ
- Top fill tank which is the case with most now but this has a good size inlet at the top, some are very small and it’s too easy to spill liquid

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- The Thorvap TC 100w does not have a pass through, a feature that allows you to vape and charge at the same time, not a feature it claims so I won’t mark it down for it.

Summary
**********
Overall this is a very nice modbox with a good atomizer tank that delivers a great vape, the Thorvap TC 100w is more than suitable for people new to vaping or the experience vaper and it gets top marks from me. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

Toguard 12MP 1080P 120° Wide Angle Wildlife Camera Review

Great quality wildlife camera, I wanted to replace my old wildlife camera with a new one as my brother ‘borrowed’ mine a while ago and he likes it so much he keeps forgetting to return it so I finally said he could keep it as an early Christmas present and I would get a new one. I decided to get another Toguard as the quality with the old one was spot on.

It arrived in a Toguard branded black zipped case which opened up to a webbed top section containing two mounting ribbons with spring loaded metal clips on the end, a micro USB data lead and the manual, on the bottom section inserted into a foam cut out it contained the wildlife camera.

I gave the manual a good read, it’s very detailed and gives you a good step by step guide of setting it up and what all the features and functions do plus diagrams of the camera linked to descriptive text explaining what the parts are or do. As I have already been using a wildlife camera for a while I am used to the settings but they are easy to navigate and understand, I would point out a couple of things although covered you should be aware of, when the camera is ‘ON’ apart from the initial red led blinking the camera shows no signs what so ever of being active so you set everything up in test mode before switching it to the ‘ON’ position, after using it always switch it to the off position and don’t switch from ‘ON’ back to test mode before going to the off position first when changing settings.

After unwrapping it and inserting six AA batteries (don’t use rechargeable) and a 32gig micro SD card it was time to give it a test, I set it out round the bins as I was fairly sure I would capture one of the local cats raiding them and wasn’t disappointed, the night vision quality is superb and the area I set it up in has no lighting what so ever and it captured some good clear clean footage, I did try setting it out on the lawn to capture some birds with a bit of bread but didn’t get any interest due to the day being very wet but was still a good test of the waterproof feature as it hammered down and was bone dry inside. Just as a side note mine does not lose any settings when the batteries are removed and when replaced it is still set up exactly as before including the time and date settings.

I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing the unboxing, inserting the batteries and micro SD card then some capture of the cat raiding the bins and a bit of footage I did indoors just showing the same area in total darkness and normal light with some of my daughters clockwork toys.

No movement will be missed by recording even at night.
• Easy Operate - No need to set up, The trail camera is already set with ideal settings for the majority of wildlife applications, whether used on trails or on nest sites. Just power it with 1.5V 6* AA Alkaline batteries, insert a micro SD card, switch it on then game camera is in standby. Switch game camera to TEST mode and use the remote control to set up when you need, very simple!
• Durability - The case design is pretty good. The latch is big, sturdy and easy to operate. There is a threaded insert on the bottom of the trail camera for mounting on a tripod, and the back bracket is designed to fit a strap as well. The trail camera is stable, weatherproof and can be left outdoors for extended periods of time.

What I liked

- Picture is very clear and can go up to 12 Mega Pixels
- Day time video quality is very clear and vibrant

- Multitude of different modes and adjustments
- Good solid build quality
- The straps work really well going through mounded slots on the rear of the camera making it easy to fix to posts or a tree

What I Didn’t Like
******************
- More of an observation than a dislike, I would have liked it to have a chargeable on-board power source, I know you can power it via the DC Power but this is only practical when you have a nearby power source, that said with up to 6 months of stand-by time I never found it an issue.

Summary
**********
Overall this is a cracking wildlife camera, it’s a good solid build and delivers really clear footage both day and night. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

UltraFire 18650 Rechargeable Batteries 2800mAh Review

Good quality and consistent, I have a Andoer 60 LED lamp I use and needed two batteries for it and after having a look round decided on these as they looked ideal for the job and good value for a pair of branded batteries.

They arrived in a small flip top box in individual boxes wrapped in bubble wrap protection and after opening them up I put them into my Andoer lamp and put them on charge as this has a charge socket built in, I do have a separate battery charger for charging 18650 batteries as I use ecigs that take them but have found it is rare I use it due to them already having inbuilt charge sockets (just as a note: these are not suitable for use in ecigs).

After charging I wanted to give them a good test and also have a torch that takes a single 18650 battery so thought this idea and fitted both batteries in it one after the other leaving it turned on until the battery totally drained, the first battery lasted 48 minutes and the second 47 minutes a very good result showing not only are they consistent but they lasted 22 minutes longer than the battery I am currently using in it.

I have added a short video and will also add some pictures showing unboxing, fitting them into my torch and Andoer lamp showing them working.

GooBang Doo Android 7.1 BOX 2GB RAM 16GB ROM Review

Really nice compact and smooth running Android box, I got this for the TV in my daughters room, it’s a very nice older 32” LCD Samsung but is not a smart TV and rather than getting rid of a perfectly good TV just to upgrade to a newer smart TV we decided to add on an Android box giving it all the features of a smart TV and so much more without the constraints of only being able to install a limited and selected amount of applications.

We wanted something with the latest operating system, WiFi, the ability to take a micro SD card and USB stick, be compact but also look nice, we wanted a box that would be able to have anything available installed to it so quickly ruled out boxes with only 1GB of ram and 8GB of rom as there are now programs they won’t run and 1GB of memory is not enough for the latest Android operating system. We decided this one looked ideal and purchased it.

It arrived in a nice flip top branded box opening up to the main Android box with the power lead, HDMI cable, remote control and manual being in a section under the box, the manual runs you through the setup of the box and is very clear and easy to follow, once I had set it up and switched it on it runs through an on screen setup allowing you to connect the WiFi and either login with your Google account to use the play store or create one if not, all very easy to follow and once finished you are all set to go.

The menu is very clean and easy to navigate and you have the ability to pin any applications you add or use a lot to the main front page, I know a lot of people just get Android boxes to run Kodi but they really are missing out if this is all they use them for and I have now installed the BBC iplayer app, ITV Hub, channel 5 (My5), channel 4 (All4) and the YouTube application which all work very well for watching videos, catch up and live TV.

My daughter has added a few games and connected a wireless keyboard we had so can surf the net, most of the applications and many of the games from the play store are free and simple to install making the whole process very painless and you don’t need to add any payment details to use the play store, an android box is great for bringing an old TV up to date with smart TV’s and perfect for anyone who either has a poor TV signal or a room without an aerial socket.

I found the GooBang Doo android box to work flawlessly, a great speed and smooth operating menu system, it looks nice with the clock in the front and the remote control is not cluttered with pointless buttons no one ever uses and has a simple layout with all the buttons you need. I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing the unboxing, going through the setup, navigating through the menu, starting a few apps and installing the ITV Hub from the play store to show how easy it is.

• A SWEET UPDATE TO NOUGAT: GooBang Doo ABOX MAX TV box runs on the latest Android 7.1.2 OS which adds a handful of new features as well as optimization and bug fixes, rather than being radically different from the Marshmallow 6.0 version. With GooBang Doo's sleekest user interface, you can quickly find and enjoy the entertainment you are in the mood for.
• NEW GENERATION MULTIMEDIA SOC: Powered by Amlogic Quad core A53 processor running at 2.0 GHz, it's fast enough to run video flawlessly. With a Mali 450MP3 GPU focusing on maximizing processing efficiency, it features high end video playback capabilities.
• HIGH-LEVEL CONFIGURATION: 2GB DDR RAM, higher running speed, without buffering or breaking down; 16GB ROM Flash, other the other hand, has enough room for installing APKs, games etc. You can also expand the memory via micro SD card slot (up to 32GB).Never worry about running out of space.
• EXTREME VISUAL FEASTS: The newest Amlogic processor supports 4K video decoding and HDR media profile. Whether you're streaming in HD, 4K, or HDR, you'll get clear, immersive picture quality that's optimized for your TV with crisp details and rich color. All the details will be caught by your eyes.
• STRIKING LOOKING DESIGN: With its irregular shell and interesting geometric detail, GooBang Doo ABOX MAX TV box definitely stands out in a good way. The front illuminating LED displays how the item is connected (WIFI or LAN), and the time of day.

What I liked
*************
- Nice compact powerful android box
- It looks nice and has a clock display on the front a very nice touch
- 2GB of ram and 16GB of rom meaning it won’t have any issues playing any application available
- Comes with the most up to date android operating system

- Very easy to set up with a good setup walkthrough when you first switch it on

What I Didn’t Like

Overall this is a cracking little android box, it’s small but also powerful enough to run anything available, has the latest operating system and the menu is nice, clean and very fast with everything working flawlessly. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
