VaporaIt comes with the 6ml iTank T, plus the included GTi Dual Mesh coils. You can check out the Vaporesso Armour Octa + iTank T here, available in MOD and Kit versions. Why does it use two 18650 batteries? One of the key features of the Armour Octa is precisely the use of two external 18650 cartridges. This offers three practical advantages. Greater autonomy: Two batteries allow for the distribution of the necessary power for the Mod to function. Actual battery life varies considerably depending on factors such as: Therefore, there is no universal number of hours or days of battery life. Replaceable batteries: When the batteries become discharged, they can be replaced with another pair that is properly charged. There is no need to wait for an internal battery to recharge before continuing to use the device. Greater long-term flexibility. Batteries are components subject to wear and tear. In a device with an internal battery, cell degradation can eventually compromise the entire device. In a mod with external batteries, these can be replaced when they cease to perform adequately. What is the Battery Guard on the Armor Octa? This is one of the most interesting characteristics of this generation. In a Dual Battery Mod, the two batteries must work as a pair. Ideally, they should be: The problem arises when two batteries exhibit significantly different behaviors. The Armour Octa's Battery Guard system monitors the batteries and adds protection against abnormal voltage differences. According to Vaporesso, the equipment interrupts the output when the voltage difference between the two cells exceeds 0,9 V. This does not eliminate the need to correctly use 18650 batteries, but it adds a particularly relevant layer of monitoring in a Dual Battery Mod. Can I use two different 18650 batteries? It is not recommended. Battery Guard should not be interpreted as permission to randomly mix batteries. In a Dual Battery Mod, the safest practice remains to use a dedicated pair of identical batteries. If you purchase two batteries for the Armour Octa, keep them together throughout its use. Do not use one of them in another device for several months before pairing it with the second one. Think of the two 18650s as a single set. Is the Armour Octa really water resistant? The Armour Octa was clearly designed to be more durable than a conventional Mod. Vaporesso indicates the following for the MOD: The brand also indicates exposure tests to water up to 1 meter for more than 30 minutes and resistance to high-pressure water jets. But there is an important distinction: these certifications apply to the MOD, not to the iTank T or the complete system. This means you should not deliberately submerge the Armour Octa Kit in water just to test its certification. The advantage of these protections lies primarily in accidents and demanding everyday environments. Who is particularly interested in reinforced construction? You don't need to be working on a construction site to benefit from more robust equipment. A Mod can fall off a desk, get splashed, be carried in a backpack, or be used daily for several years. Still, the construction of the Armour Octa will be particularly interesting for those who: The TPU outer protection and reinforced structure follow the philosophy that gave rise to the name Armour. AXON 3.0: the brains of the Armour Octa. The hardware is only half of a modern Mod. The chipset manages power delivery and the various electronic protection systems. The Armour Octa features the AXON 3.0, an evolution of the platform used by Vaporesso. In addition to power management, it works in conjunction with systems such as: Thermal protection during charging. According to Vaporesso, the Armour Octa can interrupt charging if the temperature exceeds 75 °C. It's another layer of protection.
