Review of El Thunder MTLite

This is due to the fact that not everyone is ready to give up the familiar devices, characterized by performance, reliability and a certain touch of nostalgia. But at the same time, manufacturers that produce mehmods and drip kits, try not just to offer vapers a few non-standard devices that will attract attention. The Russian company Viva La Cloud, which decided to please vapers with the next successor of the El Thunder MTLite family. Immediately it should be said that the developers of the company once again managed to release a device, looking at which, there is no shame for domestic manufacturers who are able to produce devices that successfully compete with foreign analogs.

General Information

El Thunder MTLite is a universal mechanical mod, designed to work with two battery sizes, with a unique updated collet button system, designed to use a variety of atomizers.

Depending on the type of the used battery, the device can be used for vaping both standard drip tips and MTL tanks. El Thunder MTLite can be purchased in nine colors, but knowing Viva La Cloud company, we can expect the range to expand.

Bundling

Given the fact that the El Thunder MTLite has only been unveiled so far and there isn’t a lot of information about it, the data on how it will be packaged is minimal. All we know so far is that the mechmod will be packaged in a metallized bag with a transparent window and will be equipped with an extension cord.

Appearance and design

The company Viva La Cloud, which was initially engaged only in reviews of foreign products, has been pleasing vapers with its developments in the field of mechanical mods for not the first year. Their El Thunder mechmod in several versions is rightfully considered to be one of the most popular and demanded not only on the Russian market. The decision to release a compact and universal mechmod at the same time is not only a clever marketing move, but also an opportunity to win the hearts of vapers who prefer to use classic mechanics and tanks/drippers for tight cigarette puffing. El Thunder MTLite is just such a device, which somewhat resembles a mechmod with a mosfet from Cthulhu, but is made in its own signature style.

Naturally, speaking about mechmods, it is very difficult to consider its design (only mods with original engravings are an exception), so we can confidently say that El Thunder MTLite is a classic mechmod. One of the key features of the new device is its compact size, thanks to which it can safely claim to be a stealth device. In order to somehow diversify the appearance of the mechmod, the developers of Viva La Cloud company provided it with multicolored drains, thanks to which you can pick up the appearance of the device depending on the used tank or drip.

And the first type of battery is designed to use MTL tanks and drip pots, and the second, installed with the help of an additional insert (it is equipped with a standard thread), will allow you to use the device in the mode of the most common mechmod. Such a solution can hardly be called innovative, but thanks to its versatility, the device will be to the taste of many vapers, especially since the purchase of El Thunder MTLite is, to some extent, support for the domestic manufacturer.

Button and peculiarities of use

The El Thunder series of mechanical mods in various versions have always been known for their unique button design, which utilizes a collet system. El Thunder MTLite also uses such a system, thanks to which the vaper can minimize the maintenance of his mechmod.

An important point that the developers have realized in the new mehmod is that it uses a reverse collet that securely holds the spacer with a spring. It is worth noting that the spacer has a large enough area, so the contact area will be as large as possible, and the probability of micro-circuits is minimal.

The diameter of El Thunder MTLite is 26 mm, and the seating diameter for atomizers is 24 mm, so the vaper will be able to choose the optimal variant of a drip or tank depending on his preferences without any difficulties.

Conclusions and impressions

It is impossible to say that El Thunder MTLite is an innovative device that has no analogues, as many foreign companies have repeatedly turned to similar technical solutions. But given that it is produced by a domestic company that has already won the trust of vapers, the device definitely deserves attention, especially among those who can not decide on the style of vaping and want to save on the number of devices.
