In the early days of vaping, the options in terms of design were limited as devices focused on resembling traditional cigarettes. Things have changed and nowadays, it is possible to find a great variety of models that suit the preferences of any vaper. The Tesla Invader 2 is a mod that will attract the attention of vapers who would like a wooden box mod at an affordable price. Apart from having a unique look, the Invader 2 comes with features that improve its safety. It is a dual parallel 18650 box mod that stands out for its design and that is capable of delivering impressive vapor production. Here is more about the Tesla Invader 2 Box Mod.
Presentation and Design
The Invader 2 costs is available for just under $39 USD and it comes in the stylish black cardboard box that features the design and color that Tesla uses for its products. When you get the mod, you also receive a beautiful leather pouch so that you can bring the device with you anywhere you go. The pouch is a great addition that not only offers convenience when you are carrying the mod. It also protects it from scratches and other damage. The only thing that is missing is a user manual and information about the aspects that should be kept in mind when using the mod. Details about battery safety and instructions for correct operation should be included. Given that this is a dual parallel mod that can support resistances as low as 0.1 Ohm, it is important to avoid using old batteries.
When it comes to the mod itself, there are two options of colors available: Red Wood and Tan Wood. The mod is about 119 x 60 x 30mm, meaning that is not exactly a small-sized option. It features finger grips on the side and it is a thumb firing mod, which is an option that appeals to many vapers. There is a 510 connection at the top, which has a floating copper pin and four airflow slots. The Invader 2 has “Tesla” engraved on one side and on the back you will see the battery door, which has been improved. It is magnetic and fits perfectly into place so you won’t need to use screws. When you remove the battery door, you will be able to see the copper contacts.
Due to the way in which it is designed, it offers a great fit for additional accessories. You won’t comes across issues using any tanks. You will also find the firing button on the top and while it can cause a nit of noise when you press it, it works well and it is a joy to use.
Performance
The original version of the Invader could work with low resistances and had some downsides, including issues with the battery door and it didn’t offer safety features that are crucial to enjoy a hassle-free vaping experience. However, Tesla has stepped up its game by releasing a second version of the wooden box mod that addresses the issues of the first one. The Invader 2 has reverse battery protection, three MOSFETS and short circuit protection, just to name a few of the features that it offers and that are set to make the device safe and efficient.
The mod is a combination of mechanical mod and regulated mod. It doesn’t comes with any kind of adjustments and it performs in a very similar way to a mechanical mode. However, since it has MOSFETs and short circuit protection, it also resembles regulated e-cigs. Although some may think that the additional circuitry could lead to considerable voltage drop, we believe that this is a very important feature that offers a good level of safety. The Tesla Invader 2 has managed to achieve a good balance and it offers more advantages than downsides.
The battery life of the Tesla Invader 2 is impressive and if you combine the mod with an RDA, you will get amazing clouds of vapor, plus it allows you to go as low as 0.1 Ohms. The best results can be obtained if you vape on 0.5 Ohms, which will allow you to avoid hot vapor. The fact that the Tesla Invader 2 is available for under $40 makes it a great deal, considering the powerful battery, consistently good performance and the fact that it is a wooden box mod.
Since it is an unregulated dual parallel mod, you can get the maximum output wattage when you use the lowest resistance, which as previously mentioned is 0.1 Ohms. The batteries also need to be completely charged and it is advisable to always use two 25A batteries from a recognized brand. This is due to the fact that the required current is 42A (I=U/R+4.2/0.1=42). This is more than what 2 x 20A 18650 cells can offer.
Conclusion
The Tesla Invader 2 will allow you to enjoy impressive vapor production, specially when you use it with an RDA. Overall, the Invader 2 offers great performance, good battery life and a unique design that will appeal to many vapers. At just $38.95, it is a great purchase for wooden box mod fans.
