Hozit all!
So here is my review of the X217 mod which i won from one of @VOOPOO 's international vendor contests they ran. This is my first ever review so please bare with me
Pictures of when i just unboxed it...a very excited person at this moment!
Using it for the first time paired with a Aqua Master RTA
Specifications from the web:
On to the X217 itself! The review here is my own views after using the mod over the last 4 days.
First Impressions
Upon opening the box, everything was neatly packaged, the box looks great and looks looks like a premium high end vape. The mod comes with two battery adapters which i was super happy about because i can use my existing batteries with this mod and don't have to buy the new 21700 batteries. The X217 looks and feels premium and expensive. The build quality is great and the X217 has this solid feel to it! Even though there are plenty of different colors that will be launched, i got the chrome metal which looks great but fingerprints are the devil to this mod. Luckily it all just wipes off without a problem. The carbon fiber side inserts as well as the resin parts makes the X217 stand out and gives it so much character. Everyone that saw the X217 over the weekend only had great things to say and compliment it on the looks!
Using the X217
The first thing i noticed when comparing the X217 against my old Sigelei Fuchai 213 is that it uses the power much better. The X217 hits harder and heats the coils with much less trouble. When compared to my 213 at 65W, the X217 seems to just work better, almost like it needs less power to give the same power and hit and i take it this all comes down to the new GENE chip set.
The menu and layout on the screen is great, its easy to navigate or see the coil information on the screen without any of it being squished to make fit. Changing between power and temp mode is only 3 clicks on the fire button away. The menu/function menu is also found by pressing the fire button 3 times and is almost hidden away.
The breathing LED which looks great can be switched off in the menu as i know alot of people dont like LEDs on mods. You can change the color to one specific color or use the rainbow color that keeps changing. I have already switched this function off. Along with this the X217 comes with 8 preloaded backgrounds which is nice...but i hope one would be able to upload your own instead of using the preloaded Cat or Rose lol. I would guess that there might be interchangeable side plates available after launch as they are held in place by two small hex screws.
Like previously mentioned, the X217 is solid and feels heavy but is very comfortable to hold and use. Its only slightly bigger than the Fuchai making it quite small for a 21700 mod.
Navigating the menus of the X217 is simple and straightforward:
Not many that i can think off but here goes
Overall, this is a great mod and Voopoo did a fantastic job with this mod. With my 18650s i mange to get around 8 hours use on 65W and i reckon this mod will shine when used with 21700 batteries which is in the pipeline (Bit expensive at R270 each) It is way smaller than tripple battery mods so if you need better battery life than a dual 18650 then this one might be for you. I cannot comment on the TC mode as i only use Power but i feel that this mod kicks better and heats the coils faster with the same batteries when compared to my old fuchai. As a whole, the X217 with its good build quality, the nice weight and feel, its color screen, as well as watt curve and voltage mode, is a solid choice.
Would i buy one with my own cash? Hell Yeah! its awesome!
Forgive me if my review was too long...This was my first ever!
Thank you @VOOPOO for the competition and choosing me as a winner! I could not have been happier with this as a new mod seeing as i was due for an upgrade!
Cheers,

Navigating the menus of the X217 is simple and straightforward:
- 5 clicks of the fire button to turn on and off
- 3 clicks to cycle through to the next mode (3 modes total: Power, TC, and Settings)
- When in a mode, hold + and – to enter that mode’s menu (settings mode adjusts the mods settings)
- + and fire to lock the mod (complete lock, not just adjustment buttons)
- Great build quality
- Great color options and love the chrome
- No button rattle
- Nice centered 510 pin
- Big tanks will fit great, makes my Aqua Master look small!
- Adjust by voltage or wattage
- Simple and easy to use menu
- Battery door is easy to open and swap out batteries
- Battery adapters included and 18650 works great.
- Bright and large color screen
- Nice LED lights with option to switch them off.
- Battery compatibility (21700 / 20700 / 18650)
Not many that i can think off but here goes
- Carbon inserts looks to be sticker, scared that it might show signs of wear or peel off.
- Mod is a bit on the heavy side, think it would be even heavier with 21700's
- Slight battery rattle when using the adapters, only really heard when shaking the mod lol.
