Starting with my usual “stress test” I’m thrilled to report that 220 watts is no myth, as the Punk hits these heights with ease – yes, even with 18650 cells.
Using an external charger is always preferable for safety, but here, it’s probably best to leave the USB for upgrades only. The documentation doesn’t indicate whether or not it’s 2-amp charging, but topping off my 18650s took longer than expected. The USB charge/upgrade port works well, though I wasn’t thrilled with the speed of the charging itself. At first, I didn’t think much of this design choice, but when taking the Punk out for the night, I never had any issues with random button presses or inadvertent adjustments. The up/down controls sit in a slightly recessed cutout so they’re flush with the edge of the Mod. The fire key, in particular, has an outstanding clicky feel. Both the control buttons and the fire key are beautifully constructed, with a reassuring throw to each of them. I still wish the third button was used for something other than activation and adjustment of the LED backlight, but in terms of simplicity, Tesla has done well with this chipset, and I only hope other companies take notice of how streamlined the system is. Thanks to the Punk’s control setup, navigating the menu trees is easy (made easier by well-documented instructions). Like I mentioned in the preview, I appreciate control and customization, but I don’t necessarily see a major difference from tenths of a percentage, and neither will most. But it never gets in the way of the overall aesthetic.Īnother welcome item was the 0.5-ohm increment adjustments, which make it easier and faster to scroll to a desired wattage. Users can easily make adjustments to resistance, wattage, voltage, preheat, coil material and more, via the bright screen and simple button interface. Because my brushed zinc alloy test Model took an inadvertent tumble from a four-foot high table onto a hardwood floor. One mild concern I had during our preview was the potential for catastrophic damage if the heavy, glass-covered Punk fell onto a hard surface.

(A subtle, but effective LED light further enhances the effect.) Also gorgeous is the rock-solid beveled edges, which frame the Mod without overshadowing the steampunk-style gears and cogs.

Of all the Mods in my collection, this is by far the heaviest.īut with the heft comes stunning design, most notably the thick glass that covers both sides of the Punk, allowing both the steampunk accents and the circuitry to be visible to the user. Tesla lists the Mod at 200 grams in heft, but I think that might be conservative.
Sure, at 86x56x30mm, you can certainly carry the Tesla Punk in a pocket or purse, but you’ll definitely know it’s there. No, this is not a “ toss it in your pocket and forget it” vape device. But that weight you’re feeling? That’s almost entirely the Punk. And the offerings are certainly good, to be sure. When you pick up the Tesla Punk in its packaging, you’d be forgiven for thinking there’s a wealth of extras in the box.
