Vaperz Cloud Ascent 200W Vape Kit

Getting to know the Ascent 200W

If you have outgrown a pod kit and want to choose your own batteries, coils and tank glass, this is the step up. The Ascent 200W pairs a box mod with a refillable Shift sub-tank. Two 18650 batteries power it, bought separately, and it reaches up to 200W.

In the box you get the mod, the tank with two glass sections and two VC Tech mesh coils. The batteries and your e-liquid are the only things to add. It comes in seven colours: Blue Plasma, Gunmetal, Purple Plasma, Racing Green, Raw Silver, Full Black and Satin Pink.

Where it shines

• A wider tank later on: the mod accepts atomizers up to 30mm across, a little more than the Shift's 26mm, so you can swap tanks without changing the mod.
• Settings you can see: a 0.96 inch LCD sits on the VC Custom chipset, and Vaperz Cloud describes the screen as customisable.
• Both coils to hand: a 0.2ohm and a 0.15ohm VC Tech mesh coil are included, so you can try each before buying spares.
• Swap the glass: the Shift tank ships with a bubble section and a straight one, so the look is your call.
• Machined metal: the body is cut by CNC from aircraft-grade aluminium and measures 81.5mm x 31mm x 40mm.
• Trim to match: Purple Plasma and Blue Plasma carry purple and blue trim on the tank, Full Black stays black, and Racing Green and Raw Silver use stainless steel.

What it takes: pods, coils and e-liquid

There are no pods here. The Shift is a refillable sub-tank that uses VC Tech replacement coils, and the two supplied are mesh, one at 0.2ohm and one at 0.15ohm. Choose a shortfill with a high VG content to go in it. At 26mm across, the tank suits RDTL and DTL inhalation, so you set the draw to suit you. Two 18650 batteries are a separate purchase.
