SXK Zero V3 TC 60w Mod Review | Vape Mod Review

The SXK Zero V3 is one sweet looking device, the pattern looks pretty good and the curves fit into your hand like a glove.

It’s powered by a removable battery and a spring loaded 510 center pin which are two really great benefits when you’re choosing a new mod.

Also much like everything else coming out, the SXK Zero V3 mod has temperature control so you won’t get any dry hits when using a nickel coil.

And let’s face it, dry hits or that burnt taste is the worst thing ever! It’s also backed by 60 watts of power so this SXK Zero V3 should fit most vaper’s needs. In this SXK Zero V3 TC 60W Mod review we’ll take a look at everything this device has to offer.

Specifications of the SXK Zero V3 TC 60W Mod

• 510 threaded connection

This mod goes from 1 to 60 watts in 0.1 increments. And, it also goes from 200 to 600’F on a resistance range of 0.06 to 5 ohm (normal working) / 1 ohm (standard load). The fire button is very clicky and large so it’s easy to use and the display is quite nice and easily visible. It asks if you are attaching a new coil and shows everything like the voltage, battery power, and more.

How to Use It

• Three clicks of the Fire button in rapid succession with toggle between lock/unlock mode.
• In lock mode, the system does not fire and the OLED will display a Lock icon.
• Three more presses in rapid succession to unlock. Five clicks in rapid succession will get you to the main menu.
• Once you are in the main menu, the function you look at will have directional arrows.

• Click the Fire button again to cycle through the available features.
• There are three only: Wattage adjustment, Exit, and System. The Wattage adjustment will cycle through the full range in 0.1 watt increments.
• Once it reaches the minimum wattage supported (1.0) you have to go in the other direction to reach the maximum (60.0). Same when you reach the maximum, you have to go in the other direction to lower.
• The Exit is for you to exit the menu, just lean the device in any direction to exit the device.
• The System is for you to power down completely. Lean to the right or left to get the “Byebye” message and power down.

Safety Matters

As with any box mod like this, there are a few safety features that you’ll appreciate such as:

• Short circuit protection
• Low voltage warning
• High temperature alarm function

Always make sure that there is a lock for the firing pin/button. The most common are those that are reverse threaded and require an unscrew to lock the firing pin/button on mech mods, or multiple clicks of the firing button on regulated devices.

Check your mod for air-holes. Air holes (aka vents) are incredibly important in letting gases escape your mod if the battery is compromised. Air holes are your friend, make sure they act like it.

Make sure your batteries aren’t overcharged or undercharged. Do this by checking their volts. We like to check battery voltage when we think they are getting close to needing a recharge. Run them too low repeatedly and they have shortened life, way too low and they are toast. We check coil resistance any time that we mess with or build a new wick and coil. If you draw too many amps from your battery, you will have a serious safety issue. Always be aware of the mod’s temperature during use. Any part of it heating up is an issue that needs to be resolved, or it can become serious.

Similar Box Mods

Here are a few box mods that are a little similar in nature so you can have a feel for what the SXK Zero V3 TC 60w Mod is like as well. Hey, they’re all unique in their own way but if you’re new to the box mod or one of this style, this may help you out.

The screen reflects a treasure trove of data about the operations of the device like voltage input, amperage out and puff counter. There is a gauge on the bottom that resembles a tachometer, as well, which serves as a measure of operational wattage. New screws for the battery door are included, already installed. These keep the battery door firm on the mod.

The eGo One Mega VT tank comes ready with titanium and nickel coil heads, colored red and blue correspondingly, allowing the user to use the eVic-VT’s newest feature set right out of the box. Each coil also comes fitted with gold plated connectors and organic cotton, increasing both the accuracy of conductivity and flavor recreation. A traditional wattage based power output is also available, with a minimum resistance capability of .15 ohms, with wattage adjustments from 1 to 60 watts, capable of powering today’s most popular Sub Ohm Tanks, such as the Atlantis 2, Delta II, and Sub-Tank series.

Available in three distinct styles, the eVic-VT Full Kit also includes a silicon sleeve to protect the beautiful finishes.
