Design and Construct High quality

The Abyss initially launched in three colors, Onyx, Classical, and Storm.

Nonetheless it’s now out there in an extra 4, Mars, Amethyst, Nato and Tidal.

To not point out the truth that the customisability of it lets you change the look. Suicide Mods themselves supply quite a lot of alternative ways to combine issues up, however they positively encourage third events to create all kinds of fascinating equipment for it.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Physique

First impressions are excellent with this factor, it feels extremely effectively constructed and designed. It’s made out of CNC’ed Aluminium, and it really feel reassuringly stable within the hand.

As a result of it should take me far too many phrases (and that is already going to be an extended evaluate!) to undergo each transferring half on this, I’ve ready a few GIFs beneath that I’ll summarise.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Taking it Aside

• Unscrew the drip tip. The drip tip screws in to the the battery plate, this holds every thing collectively, but in addition completes the circuit for the machine to fireplace
• Rotate the battery cap 90 levels to unlock it, at this level you may simply raise it off
• Carry out the tank part, you’ll discover right here that there’s no unscrewing, the tank is principally simply held in place between the physique and the battery cap by stress
• Must you need to swap to 21700 (or swap out to an non-compulsory battery tube) to take away the battery tube you simply slide it out. It’s secured on the high with an o-ring

Placing all of it collectively, I’ll present you the way you’ll accomplish that when you had been wanting to make use of a 21700 as an alternative of utilizing the 18650 tube that it comes with and learn how to use the Nautilus adapter.

• First issues first, screw your nautilus coil into your bridge. You’ll see you’ve gotten a bit that screws on the underside and one which screws on the highest. In the event you ever can’t bear in mind which method up a bridge goes, simply seems to be for the little lip as that all the time goes up
• Assemble the tank. You’ll have seen when taking it to items that it’s solely held along with o-rings. These will be actually stiff at first, so simply use a thumbnail to ease it open and when you get one finish off, you may push out the opposite. To place it collectively, place one finish on first, then put your bridge in, then safe the opposite finish
• Place the tank onto the connector, nothing holds it on, so I’d advocate protecting a finger on it
• Put your battery in, constructive down, there’s a battery indicator on the battery cap
• Place the battery cap (the one with the “hump” for the 21700s longer size) on high at 90 levels, push it down and rotate it so it covers the highest of the tank. I’d critically advocate doing this on a flat stable floor so you may push it down and twist it, you may additionally want to use some downwards stress to the tank
• Lastly you may screw down your drip tip, and connect the battery cowl over your 21700

One factor I did discover is that the 21700 cowl doesn’t fairly cowl the entire of the battery, on one of many lengthy edges you’ll see there’s a bit hole. It’s not a serious situation, nevertheless it undoubtedly messes with my OCD a bit!

Proper, nonetheless with me? There’s a whole lot of transferring elements on this machine, and it will get much more advanced once you begin throwing within the non-compulsory equipment!

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – High quality Management

Now that I’ve launched you to the Abyss, I ought to take this chance to say that there have been some points with my first unit.

• The 21700 battery cap wasn’t threaded appropriately for the drip tip. This meant that you just couldn’t screw the drip tip in all the way in which, making it unusable
• The Nautilus bridge that got here included within the field additionally had some points with threading. On this case it was that the underside part wouldn’t screw on totally to the coil. Though it was virtually there, the slight enhance in size meant that it now not fitted appropriately into the tank, making an attempt to shut the battery cowl wound up with every thing getting caught collectively
• Lastly there was one thing up with the precise chip or the connections. When testing out a recognized good coil, I saved on getting a 9.99Ω resistance studying

Sadly with all of those points, it meant that my authentic Abyss was DOA. Fortunately Dovpo swiftly despatched out a alternative.

It’s disappointing when issues make it by means of high quality management and aren’t proper, and I attempt to be truthful that errors occur with every thing.

However three separate points on one unit appears extreme. Although this wasn’t fairly the tip of my issues…

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Drip Tip

The journey tip is a screw in drip tip, as to finish the circuit and maintain the factor collectively, it’s essential to screw it into the machine.

Nonetheless when you’re not eager on the drip tip that comes provided, I discovered it very low profile, you may simply pull the central part out.

Seems that this bit is definitely only a small normal 510 drip tip, so you should utilize your individual if that’s what you like.

The Abyss Tank

As talked about, the tank is held in by stress between the battery plate and the machine itself.

The truth is, the tank is held collectively utilizing solely o-rings.

There’s actually not a lot to discuss right here, as all of the fascinating stuff occurs relying on the bridge you set in.

One factor I used to be all the time nervous of although, was the prospect of by accident pinching the silicone stopper on the within of the fill port once I put my bridge in!

How To Fill the Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss Tank

On one aspect of the tank you’ve gotten a fill port, like the remainder of the tank the duvet is made from metallic and has a silicone plug on the again.

One of many adjustments they made to the later batches was growing the the scale of of silicone attachment on the rear, to cease you by accident pulling it off.

Filling up is usually a little bit of a ache although, you’ve obtained fairly a deep fill port.

Which means that it’s important to refill hella slowly.

In the event you get overenthusiastic, likelihood is you’re going to finish up with e-liquid forming an airlock and spilling out throughout your hand!

How To Change the Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss Coil

I’m not going to get into this two a lot, partly as a result of it varies dependant on the bridge you’ve gotten put in.

Nonetheless there are a few issues to remember. Firstly, it is best to make your peace with the truth that you’re most likely going to get e-liquid throughout your self as some level.

What you need to do is then take away the coil, and if in any respect doable, preserve the bridge in place. On among the bridges you’ll must take away the underside part of the tank, on others (like my favorite for coil altering the Uwell Caliburn G) you may simply pull the coil out the bottom.

Nonetheless there’s a good change that the grip your coil has on the highest part of the bridge goes to be stronger, so it’s doubtless the bridge will come out as effectively. Together with any e-liquid you had left within the tank!

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss Airflow Management

The airflow management on the Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss is definitely on the machine itself, fairly than the tank part.

You’ve a small lever on the entrance, which you open up by pushing it to the left, or shut it right down to the suitable (reversed on earlier batches).

With the honeycomb airflow it provides a really clean vape, with no noticeable turbulence. Nonetheless a few issues to remember is that if you’d like a good mouth to lung vape, it’s only within the final 3 or 4 holes that that is doable. So it’s important to shut it down quite a bit.

Additionally it’s very stiff!

Now truthfully I don’t thoughts this in any respect, as with it protruding, if it had been free you’d be very more likely to knock it misplaced. However some individuals might discover it too stiff to comfortably modify.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss Display screen and Controls

The display screen on the Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss is on the underside, it’s a really clear and easy display screen to learn, with an up and down button on one aspect.

One minor nit decide is that there’s no approach to flip it in order that it reads the opposite method up. One thing I all the time discover important on most of these gadgets.

You’ve a USB port (C fortunately!) on the entrance, and your hearth button is on the aspect of the machine.

Although after all with the equipment out there, you may change what this seems to be like quite a bit.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Equipment

Sure we don’t usually have a bit only for equipment, however there are such a lot of which are out there for the Abyss, that it feels solely proper to explain them individually.

All the equipment I used to be despatched had been color matched to the machine I obtained, however clearly there’s nothing stopping you placing a silver button on a black machine!

In my image is the Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss with the sq. button equipment, the battery tube, the ultem tank and (although you may’t see it by means of the ultem!) the SMOK Nord bridge.

Not essentially a reasonably combo, however begins to point out you what number of items you may change!

Aspect by Aspect Package

That is one in all my favorite equipment for the Abyss, as a result of I’m a sucker for aspect by aspect mods.

What you get within the equipment is 2 new battery covers (18650 and 21700), these are a lot smaller than the originals as they only cowl the highest of the battery.

The opposite piece of this bundle is a bit screw in 510 adapter.

You possibly can both screw this instantly into the mod itself, or you may screw it on to your tanks 510 after which screw that in.

This has been rather well thought out in that you’ve got a big slot on both finish of this you could put a flat head screwdriver into. So when you ever screw it into the mod too tightly and struggled to get it out, you may simply use a big bladed flat head to unscrew it.

One factor I wasn’t eager on, is that the battery cap doesn’t cowl all of the uncovered metallic on the high. You’ll see in mine that with the black model, I now have two little items of silver poking out from beneath.

Clearly when you have a silver Abyss it will look fantastic, nevertheless it’s a bit irritating on the black one.

I form of want they’d made the battery cowl a bit bigger so it might cowl these.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Bridge Pack

You possibly can both purchase these individually, or as an entire pack.

These provide the possibility of utilizing an entire vary of various coils in your Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss.

• VooPoo PnP/Vaporesso GTX
• Vaporesso EUC
• Caliburn G
• Smok Nord

All of them work pretty equally with a few notable variations.

The PNP/GTX bridge really comes with a brand new backside in your tank. It’s because the coil is far wider and the o-ring configuration is modified.

The EUC bridge is essentially the most fascinating, as you principally put your coil inside the 2 items of it, and screw it collectively.

Much like how the Nautilus bridge works. All the opposite bridges are single items so your coil is all the time accessible from the underside of the tank.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Glass Pack

The glass that got here put in in your tank will match your Abyss.

Clear glass for the Traditional Silver or Storm Gunmetal, and smoked glass for all of the others.

The glass pack provides you a full set that features a clear glass, a smoked glass and likewise an ultem tank part. I’m normally fairly a fan of Ultem, however I’m unsure how good it seems to be right here.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – 18650 Battery Tube

The Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss may have include both a metallic battery tube, both silver for the Traditional Silver of the Storm Gunmetal, or black on all the others.

When you’ve got an 18650 wrap that you just significantly need to exhibit, really feel like making it a few grams lighter, or simply fancy a change.

You’ve the choice of two clear plastic battery tubes. Both Smoked (which I obtained) or Clear.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Button Kits

The button kits are available in one in all two completely different designs, both Sq., with ridges on the button, or spherical.

They then additionally are available in quite a lot of three finishes: Matte Black, Brushed Stainless, or Polished Stainless.

Sadly I discovered that this was probably the most irritating add-ons for the Abyss.

You want a torx screwdriver to take away the screws from the physique, and though they need to be T4, you might effectively discover that T5 matches higher.

On my first try, I managed to take away two of the screws with little drawback.

Nonetheless the third screw was tightened down extremely laborious. As a result of the screw isn’t the strongest on this planet, making an attempt to unscrew it simply wound up with me destroying the grooves within the head.

My recommendation once you get an Abyss, is get high quality torx screwdriver and take away these first. Then screw them again in, however don’t over tighten them.

I’ve had varied items of recommendation on learn how to take away the broken screw, from a rubber band, to gluing in a torx screwdriver, and utilizing a damaged screw remover, however as of but nothing has succeeded.

Unhappy Will!

So how was I capable of take a photograph displaying the sq. button equipment on a tool?

Nicely when you bear in mind the non-functional Abyss I used to be initially despatched, I used to be simply capable of take away the screws on that one. So a silver lining I suppose?

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Drip Tip Package

The drip tip equipment comes with a alternative drip tip, and in contrast to the one which comes within the with the abyss, this makes use of a sleeve model.

So you may screw the metallic part of the drip tip onto your machine, then swap between three completely different kinds of sleeve – quick, lengthy, or whistle formed.

These additionally are available in both black or white. As with the unique drip tip, they’re all pretty large bore.

Ether Bridge

Suicide Mods first (and at the moment solely) devoted bridge for the Abyss is the Ether.

If that names is acquainted to you, it’s as a result of I just lately reviewed the Ether RTA and that is based mostly on the identical design.

Within the bundle you get the ether bridge, a 510 adapter for constructing your coils, 4 completely different backside airflow inserts that change the constructive pin (0.8, 1.0, 2.0 and three.0mm), in addition to a brand new drip tip with two sleeves.

It’s a beautiful simple deck to construct on, truthfully I obtained essentially the most satisfying vape utilizing the Ether in comparison with any of the inventory coil bridges.

It’s sadly nonetheless a little bit of a faff once you need to rewick, and I’d advocate solely doing this once you’re e-liquid may be very low.

Particular shout out goes to the drip tip right here, because it has a noticeably narrower bore than the drip tip equipment or the one which comes with the machine.

So it’s a lot simpler to tailor it in the direction of mouth to lung.

Nonetheless, and I’m beginning to really feel like I say that lots on this evaluate, on the primary model of the ether bridge I obtained, the threading on the drip tip wasn’t good.

This meant it might screw down among the method, after which instantly bind up.

So I wasn’t capable of check it out till a alternative was despatched out.

How Does the Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss Carry out?

I’ve been testing out the Abyss for a number of weeks now, I’ve tried each single bridge, a number of completely different builds and airflow on the ether, examined in 18650 and 21700 mod, and used quite a lot of completely different e-liquids.

There’s no level actually speaking about coil efficiency (clouds and flavour) because the coils should not a part of the machine in the identical method as one other tank.

So as an alternative I’m going to speak about my experiences really utilizing this little beast!

Nautilus Coil

I used my favorite 0.7Ω mesh for testing the Nautilus bridge.

I discovered that I didn’t fairly get the flavour I used to be used to from this coil, nevertheless it was nonetheless pretty punchy.

I normally wish to vape this coil with fairly a restricted mouth to lung airflow, and that is the place I’ve my first adverse.

The Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss gives an enormous quantity of airflow, and really fantastic management within the direct lung/restricted direct lung space, nonetheless to cut back the airflow sufficient for mouth to lung, you’re working with solely a tiny quantity of motion within the airflow lever.

It’s definitely doable, nevertheless it’s not simple.

Nonetheless I’m completely happy to report that this leaked little or no in my time utilizing it!

PNP/GTX Coil

This coil carried out actually fairly effectively, I didn’t discover any flavour drop off in comparison with utilizing it on a tank.

Nonetheless I did discover a specific quirk of this coil/bridge was that it might dump e-liquid each time it obtained decrease than about half full.

Now this wasn’t a large drawback, as with the large capability of the tank, you possibly can simply preserve it topped up and never danger going decrease.

Nonetheless as I defined when speaking about altering coils, this inevitably implies that when it comes time to take issues to items, you’re going to have a number of ml of e-liquid left which are most likely going to go to waste, or find yourself throughout your fingers.

EUC Coil

Nice flavour from this coil, and I figured that as it’s completely contained inside a screw collectively part I most likely wouldn’t have to fret about leaking.

Sadly I used to be very mistaken!

Left it alone on my desk for a few days, and it emptied out the complete tank over the mod/desk! I continued to make use of it for a bit, and it might have been a one off, however value reporting.

Nord Coil

Very pleased with this coil, like with the Nautilus coil it’s essential to shut the airflow proper right down to get mouth to lung vape.

There was a bit little bit of leaking initially, however I’m fairly positive that was simply while the coil was nonetheless dry.

Having tried out one other one, I can say that priming your coil beforehand ought to assist alleviate this.

After that, completely no complaints right here.

Caliburn G Coil

Nicely this was a shock!

Turns on the market is one inventory coil you may simply change once you nonetheless have a bit e-liquid within the machine, and this is because of having fairly a unique building to the opposite bridges.

It’s a decently flavourful little coil, and as a result of slender bore it’s fairly effectively suited to mouth to lung.

Nonetheless the usual drip tip has far too large a bore to essentially make the most of it.

It finally ends up with the vapour and airflow all dissipating. It’s undoubtedly a bit higher with the Ether’s drip tip, however I’m undoubtedly hoping that Suicide Mods (or another person) comes out with a very slender bore drip tip to do mouth to lung.

Additionally, I seen no leaking in any way with this bridge.

Ether RBA

I’m a rebuildable fan at coronary heart, so I actually loved my time with the Ether RBA.

You’ve obtained an honest quantity of airflow choices managed beneath the deck (all the time a should for mouth to lung!), a very easy to construct deck, nice flavour, and better of all… no leaking!

Supplied you wick it proper after all.

Notes on utilizing the machine each day

I’m actually conflicted concerning the Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss.

I need to like it for it’s versatility, however there are a number of quirks that I simply discover laborious to stay with.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Leaking

Utilizing inventory coils, I may by no means reliably say that it wasn’t going to begin dumping e-liquid out the airflow.

This didn’t occur all the time, and I’ve tried to focus on circumstances the place it’s extra doubtless in my run down of the coils.

However even once you suppose it must be fantastic, you would possibly nonetheless find yourself with liquid escaping.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Altering Coils

Secondly I discovered that altering coils was all the time more likely to find yourself with you losing a number of ml of e-liquid.

This will not fear you an excessive amount of, particularly when you’re coming from a Billet Field which has an analogous design with bridges.

However I did discover it irritating that there was no “easy” approach to change the coil.

For among the bridges that is worse than others, with the Nautilus and the EUC coil, it’s important to completely take away the bridge to unscrew the items to entry the coil.

On among the the bridges, just like the PNP or the Nord coil, you may theoretically take away the coil from the underside of the tank with out taking every thing to items.

Nonetheless I discovered that this normally additionally pulled out the bridge from the highest of the tank, so e-liquid would find yourself popping out of there!

The Caliburn G bridge was the one exception right here.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Entry to Battery

Lastly the battery entry is a little bit of a ache.

To alter your battery it’s important to unscrew the drip tip, open the battery door (while holding onto the tank), take out your battery, then put a brand new one in and reverse the method.

It’s not that many steps, nevertheless it undoubtedly advantages from having someplace stable to relaxation every thing, and never simple to do “on the go“.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Temperamental Chip

Ignoring my first unit, that appeared completely useless, I’ve seen a few quirks with the one which does work

Firstly the battery appears to empty extremely rapidly. I put a freshly charged 18650 in it, and even testing it at 15W (Caliburn G coil) I used to be fortunate to get a full time out of it.

Secondly I’ve seen that it tends to learn the resistance of the coils about 0.1-0.2Ω greater than I’d anticipate.

I’ve verified this through the use of the Ether bridge and measuring the resistance on my construct station and a DNA machine.

On these it was studying 0.61, whereas on the Abyss I used to be getting a studying of 0.75.

Now clearly it’s laborious to make a direct comparability because it’s not connecting utilizing a 510, however I seen the identical factor with the inventory coils, my 0.6Ω Nord coil was studying as 0.8Ω for instance.

Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss – Customisation

That is actually the place the Dovpo Suicide Mods Abyss shines, and if we had a factors class for this, it might get full marks any day of the week!

There’s a plethora of non-compulsory extras that Suicide Mods can promote you, however there are additionally increasingly more third events making equipment for it.

From new buttons, to alternative backside plates, battery covers and extra!

So when you wish to tinker, then it is a nice machine for that.

Professionals

• Immense customisation choices
• 21700 possibility
• Suitable with virtually all Billet Field bridges

Cons

• Laborious to alter coils with out dropping e-liquid
• Susceptible to leaking, particularly with inventory coils
• Faff to alter a battery

Remaining Assessment Verdict

Nonetheless with me? Nicely carried out when you made it this far!

I’m sorry that was such an extended evaluate, however it is a sophisticated little bit of equipment!

And I feel that sums it up actually, it’s one for the tinkerers on the market.

This equipment, regardless of taking inventory coil choices, isn’t actually “plug and play“, and that’s OK. I don’t suppose it was designed to be.

So who’s it for?

In the event you’re new to vaping? Don’t purchase this machine. You’ll get pissed off method too rapidly, even when your machine is all working because it ought to with no high quality management points.

Nonetheless if you’d like a compact machine, that may match a load of various coils and rebuildable choices, that has an enormous scope for customisation. And also you’re not anxious about sometimes getting e-liquid all over the place? This would possibly simply be the ticket.

Regardless of the QC Points and Faff…I Like It!

I’m not going to faux like this was a simple evaluate.

It was irritating and lengthy winded (a bit like me) I needed to take care of QC points that basically shouldn’t have made it by means of, and even on my machine the place every thing match I ended up mangling a screw.

However you understand what? I nonetheless form of prefer it. It’s formidable, and fascinating, and dare I say it… progressive?

While my evaluate unit will most likely stay out it’s days in aspect by aspect mode (which is nice by the way in which), with a mangled screw, I’ll undoubtedly be placing my title down if a V2 comes out sooner or later!

Are you utilizing the Abyss..?

How are you discovering it and what’s your favorite bridge or accent?
