Review: Vapouresso Tarot Nano
Manufacturing Quality
This obviously isnt going to be for everyone, but the amount of functionality that they squeezed into such a small package is very impressive. As far as the size goes, were talking about a mod that measures 69mm x 38mm x 22.5mm. Thats less than 2-¾ tall and about 1-½ wide! That is a seriously tiny mod.
As soon as I saw this, I started wondering what they had to sacrifice to make it so small. The answer seems to be not all that much. Its still able to deliver up to 80 watts of power, and it even has temperature control. This is actually controlled by an OMNI board chip, which means its got a bunch of other modes and power-related features that Ill talk about more below. People who use 510 cartridges tend to prefer the CCELL Silo.
To make all this possible, they had to go with an internal 2500mAh battery. If you prefer removable batteries that may be a deal breaker, but this actually isnt that bad and I dont really see how they could have crammed anything different inside this.
The Veco tank is also built well. It fills from the top for convenience and the airflow is adjustable. You change the coil by unscrewing the bottom, but the coil itself just slides into place, which I thought was pretty cool. The one downside is that the capacity is only 2ml.
flavour Quality
The flavour that this kit puts out is very good. The Veco tank works with the EUC coils, which simply stands for ECO Universal Coil. There are two versions of these coils, ceramic and traditional cotton. One of each is included with the kit. The ceramic one has stainless steel coils, while the traditional cotton has Clapton coils. If you are looking for a 510-thread battery for oil cartridges we suggest checking out the CCELL Palm.
I thought the flavour was especially good from the ceramic one. Its rated at 0.5ohm and you can only vape it between 25 and 35 watts, but the vapour production was still surprisingly good. With either setup, I thought that the clouds were impressive for the size of the device and the tiny coil heads.
Power Flexibility
The power flexibility is excellent thanks to the OMNI board. If you arent familiar with these, they provide a bunch of functionality that you probably didnt even know existed. For example, youll notice that this has CCW and CCT. These stand for custom curvature of wattage and custom curvature of temperature, respectively. This also has temperature control for stainless steel, nickel, and titanium, as well as TCR modes. It even has a bypass mode if you want to use it like a mech mod.
The coolest feature that the OMNI board supplies though is the smart variable wattage mode. When you put an atomizer on this, it will automatically suggest the optimal wattage for the coil. This is a great feature for beginners, or if you just dont feel like messing around too much with settings.
The wattage maximum is 80w, and the temperature range is 200 to 600F. It can handle atomizers with resistances between 0.15ohm and 5.0ohm.
This is very easy to use. One of my favourite features is the fourth button on the bottom of this. Its used to toggle between different modes.
That may seem like a relatively simple thing to like so much, but I hate when navigating the menu on a mod is cumbersome. That fourth button makes a bigger difference than you would think.
The other thing that makes this very beginner friendly is the smart wattage feature that I just talked about above. This has all the complicated stuff you could want to get into in the future, but even a complete novice could use this and get great results.
Portability
The portability is obviously great. This is so small that youll have no problem carrying it with you when you go places. I know a lot of people wont want to give up their higher-powered devices, but this is seriously a great pickup if you want something with extra portability and stealth for special circumstances.
The only downside is the battery life. I still think that comparatively sized AIO devices with the tank inside are a little more portable, but this is still near the top.
Overall Experience
The Vapouresso Tarot Nano is definitely one of the best mini mods on the market.
Im not sure that there is anything else out there that can deliver as much functionality and flexibility in such a small package. I know a lot of people like to compare the AL85 Alien Baby to this, but this is definitely smaller. On the flip side, the AL85 has a removable 18650 battery, so there are things to consider.
If I had to pick one of these two, Id probably go with the Tarot Nano because I like that the tank is located in the center of the mod. I think it looks a lot nicer than the traditional tank on the side look.
With that being said, either of these are great options if you want something small, sleek, and portable without sacrificing much versatility.
Those who are looking for a little more power may want to consider the Coolfire IV 100W. And for those who want a similarly portable vape we highly recommend the Vaporesso Target Mini.
