In this review we will talk about the Shogun Univ Kit from IJOY, which looks suspiciously similar to a well-known device from another Chinese manufacturer.
No matter how one feels about VOOPOO and their Drag series boxmods, you can’t deny their influence on the vaping industry. The release of the first Drag made a lot of noise on the market, which led to the release of the same and similar mods from different manufacturers. Drag 2 appeared a little more modestly than its predecessor, but also left its mark. Thus, the so-called epoxy resin (or Resin) is gaining momentum, which, similar to the above-mentioned device, is more and more often present on the side panels of boxmods. Today is just such a case, as the famous company IJOY not so long ago released the Shogun Univ Kit starter kit, the similarity of which with VOOPOO products is visible to the naked eye.

Unpacking the IJOY Shogun Univ Kit

The Shogun Univ Kit comes in a large white-gray box with a minimum of any decorative elements. On the front side there is an image of the complete device, the manufacturer’s logo and the device itself. australian vape shop On the back there are only certificates and a code for authenticity check. The sides carry all the necessary information about the manufacturer, about the color of the mod, as well as about its configuration. Inside this package there are two more smaller boxes, in which the tank and the box mod are separately from each other.

These two boxes have exactly the same inscriptions and images as the main packaging. Except that for obvious reasons the content of the text and some images are different. There is no sense to consider and describe anything for a long time, let’s study the Shogun Univ Kit package.

IJOY Katana Sub Ohm Tank
Katana Sub Ohm Tank clearomizer in a set with Shogun Univ boxmod comes only in black color of the body, except for the drip types, they will match the color of the side panels of the mod. The main black color was given to the refill cap and the airflow adjustment ring, which has a stopper in the extreme positions. The large 28mm clearomizer is a typical representative of its class of devices and does not bring anything new.
IJOY Katana Sub Ohm Tank Connector IJOY Katana Sub Ohm Tank Drip Type
On the connector part of the atomizer you can find a standard for such tanks non-adjustable pin and a bunch of inscriptions in the form of engravings of dubious quality. Naturally, this tank is not suitable for mechanical mods with hybrid connection, its destiny is only for boards. The Katana Sub Ohm Tank has a bright epoxy resin drip tip on top by default.

The mouthpiece has an 810 fit, but with an oring. It is not possible to use Katana Sub Ohm Tank with 810 drip types, but it is possible to install 510 format here thanks to the included adapter, as it often happens. The refill cap is realized in the form of a slider and hides under itself a single hole of sufficiently large size, sealed with white silicone. The standard straight glass allows you to pour 4ml of liquid into the tank, and with the “bubble-column” the tank will hold as much as 5.5ml.
For further disassembly of the device it is necessary to unscrew the upper part from the evaporator, which is a kind of vapor line shaft. In this way, you can replace the replacements screwed into the deck, or put the necessary volume of glass. This design is similarly found in almost all maintenance-free tanks today.

Two different vaporizers will be waiting for the future user in the kit. KM1 0.15Ω with a recommended wattage of 40-80W is pre-installed, and DM-M2 0.15Ω with the same recommended wattage is located separately. In both cases, the heating elements here are mesh coils, in quantities of one and two pieces.
Impressions and conclusions
The Shogun Univ Kit left purely positive impressions, except for a couple of things, which will be discussed later. In the meantime, we should praise the “kit” first of all for its solid presentation and good equipment, which even includes a vape band that has lost its fashionability in modern realities, as well as a wet wipe for cleaning the device. As for the individual components of the kit, the Katana Sub Ohm Tank should be praised for the good quality of workmanship, nice and cute drip type, and a wide variety of available vaporizers, among which there is even a serviceable base. The boxmod, in turn, pleased with no less good assembly in almost all its aspects, and ease of use thanks to its shape and materials. The functionality of the Shogun Univ is one of the strongest points of the mod. The board installed inside is characterized by excellent operation, extensive settings with all the options necessary for the average user.
There are no serious flaws that prevent normal operation of both devices in Shogun Univ Kit. But there are at least two unpleasant things. The first such feature is a persistent odor of glue, with which two boxes are impregnated at once. And if in the case of the box mod the foreign smell is not so critical, but for the tank and especially for its unprotected vaporizers this moment is at least not pleasant. Another somewhat annoying thing is the backlash of the battery compartment cover, which, to give credit, is quite small. If you don’t move the cover with your finger on purpose, the boxmod seems to be monolithic. Perhaps the backlash is not present in all copies, and maybe in some mods it is even more significant. In any case, I repeat, the “kit” does not have any other maladies.
Pros:
Completeness
Variety of vaporizers
Quality of mod and tank
Board performance
Cons:
Odor of glue
Slight backlash of the lid
