Vapers with experience, who started vaping 4-5 years ago, remember well the situations when you had to buy not what you wanted, but what you have. That is why many will remember with nostalgia Ryksa, 213 fuchai simple mods from Kangers. Now there are a lot of devices on the vape market, both from established companies and new manufacturers. Not so long ago, a Chinese company VapX appeared on the market, which currently has only three devices in its range, but each of them is interesting and original. One of the devices produced by this manufacturer, which certainly will interest many vapers, can be considered a VapX Meteor 510 box mod, made in a case with protection class IP68 and with the ability to fully charge the built-in battery in just 12 minutes.
General information
VapX Meteor 510 “ndash; compact box mod with a medium capacity battery running on a proprietary chipset that gives the vaper good functionality and performance. The design of the box mod is original enough, although remotely reminiscent of the device series Aegis from Geekvape, but it is quite compact and easy to use. Canadian vaping branded chipset is able to please the vaper with its performance and functionality. The ability to fully charge the built-in 2000 mAh battery in just 12 minutes with an optional external docking station deserves special attention. VapX Meteor 510 comes in three colors – gray, black and red.
Outfitting

Appearance and Design
VapX company appeared on vape market quite recently, and (so says the manufacturer’s official website) the team consists of engineers and designers who have experience in the vape industry for over ten years. At the moment, the company has presented three rather interesting products which are sure to be worthy competitors to devices from famous manufacturers. It is to be hoped that VapX can repeat the success of well-known Vandy Vape, which also started small. One device from VapX that will definitely appeal to vapers is the Meteor 510 box mod that has a lot of nice surprises.
VapX Meteor 510 design is not particularly original ergonomic rectangle with rounded corners, eco-leather insert (very reminiscent of the device series Aegis from Geek Vape) and a display on the side panel. The device is small enough 80*42*29 mm, and the mod is designed for installation of atomizers with diameter up to 26 mm, so the vaper has no problems with the choice of tank or dripper.
An important feature of VapX Meteor 510 is that it is protected in accordance with IP68 standard, so it can work even after being submerged in water up to 8 meters (the image of a diver or a vaper comes to mind right away).
Maximum power VapX Meteor 510 40 watts, which is provided by built-in battery capacity of 2000 mAh, not much, but for autonomous use of the device during the day it is enough. The battery is charged by means of USB Type-C connector located on the side surface of the mod and closed with a silicone cap, a current of 2A.
It should be noted that on the bottom end of the device there are four contacts for charging, but not simple, but using a docking station, which (alas) need to buy separately. but after buying the station to fully charge VapX Meteor 510 can be in 12 minutes, as the charging current docking station is 10A. It is worth knowing that the use of such a charger is absolutely safe developers have taken care of this.
Board, Functionality and Usage Features
VapX Meteor 510 is equipped with a proprietary and quite functional and efficient chipset, which will allow you without much difficulty to pick the best mode of operation. The vaper has pretty good functionality – VW, TC (NI200, SS, TI), TCR, VPC, BYPASS, so there is plenty to choose from. What is nice is that the board supports work with resistance from 0,08 Ohm, and this is not a bad indicator for a device with 5-80 Watt power.
On the side surface of the device is a color display with a diagonal of 0.96 inches, through which the vaper can get pretty standard set of information about the device mode, battery level, power, coil resistance, voltage and the number of puffs. Controls are also not distinguished by the originality of the fire and +/- buttons.
Conclusions and impressions
VapX Meteor 510 causes ambiguous impression as on the one hand it is quite a standard box mod with built-in battery and not less standard functionality, but on the other hand it is a secure device that can withstand drop and immersion in water, which can be charged in just 12 minutes. In any case, the vaper will get an interesting, original and easy to use box mod.
