I started off on a small controller that someone gave me for free. This review was written by Jeremy from VAPEDEALS, click to view original review there with more pictures.I have been a DJ and promoter for over 10 years in my small town. The screen is on the bottom of the device.It’s not especially portable/pocket-friendly.No temperature control or advanced options (simple chipset).Like most side-by-sides, holding/firing it might take some getting used to.These are things that don’t bother me, but might be an issue for some people… No venting holes on the bottom (near the positive end of the battery).Although most of the edges are smooth, they’re a bit sharp on the bottom.No spare bolts provided in case you lose one.No tool provided to switch between 1860 modes.Nice firing button with a large indent, making it easy to locate.Incredible value (it looks/feels like a much more expensive device).Looks great with both 22mm and 24mm atomizers.Build quality (it’s the best I’ve ever seen from Aspire…by far!).It certainly isn’t terrible, and the threading is great, I just wish they’d made an effort rather than saying (in the words of one of my favorite YouTubers), “ Nah, it’ll be fine!” Aspire Mixx Pros & Cons It’s unfortunate that Aspire didn’t try to innovate here as well. Dovpo attempted to remedy this with their new side-by-side device, the College (quarter-turn battery cap). It amazes me that, despite all the refinements we’ve seen with top-fill tanks, some manufacturers refuse to improve on this tedious design. It’s the basic twist-off design that has been used in the vaping industry for years.
#Stealth control for mixxx mod
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally jumped into TC on a DNA mod and couldn’t find my way out of it! The Mixx has a much simpler chipset and it works well. I feel like the addition of TC in these types of chipsets just makes things overly complicated. That might be an issue for some users, but it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Surprisingly, it does not support temperature control. Here are 3 output modes: VW, VV, and Bypass. Turn Device Off: Hold Firing Button for 2 Seconds when in Lock Mode.Lock Adjustment Buttons: Firing Button + Down.The chipset in the Aspire Mixx seems designed to resemble the DNA60, so the layout should be familiar to most of you. Maybe that’s just me I’m sure others will disagree. Although it’s relatively small, I still consider it a “desk mod” only. Make no mistake, the Aspire Mixx is a fairly heavy and clunky device. Regardless of the ergonomics, I wouldn’t recommend this for a portable, out-and-about setup. On that note, it’s important to manage expectations here. It may look odd, but it feels unexpectedly good in the hand (although the bottom edges are slightly sharp). There are 3 distinct indents: one for the battery tube, which rests perfectly in the palm another for the firing button, making it easy for your middle finger to find and a third on the bottom (very subtle), which is where your pinky will naturally position itself. And just like that, you’ve got yourself an absolutely adorable mini-mod!īased on the looks alone, you wouldn’t expect it to be ergonomic at all…but you might be surprised. You can easily switch it to 18350 mode with the spare parts in the box. It comfortably fits atomizers up to 24mm, but 22mm looks great too (which isn’t always the case with these types of devices). The default 18650 mode will give you the side-by-side design. The thing that really makes the Aspire Mixx stand out is its ability to use 2 different battery sizes: 18650 or 18350. If you were to remove the branding and show it to someone for the first time, they’d probably guess that it cost well over $100. It’s fair to assume that this device costs more to manufacture than most of their mods, which is why the low price tag ($50 – $60) is so shocking. The paint/finish, buttons, machining, materials, they’re all flawless. I honestly can’t find anything to complain about. Most of their devices have been solid, but there’s always a few cheap components here and there that detract from the final product. The build quality of the Mixx is phenomenal! I’ve been an Aspire fan for many years, but they’ve never really hit a home run in this department.
