Product description : Alright, this seems to be THE “trick” of 2017, everybody is talking about it ! I didn’t pledge the kickstarter but I went to Blackpool and they had it on the stand, after viewing a few times how it worked, I bought it. This is basically a watch which can produce smoke AND tell the time which is a big difference compared to other product out there (not for me but for most people). I had good and bad times with Sansminds before, let’s find out if this one will be a good one.. or not !
Price and where to buy it : This was sold at $250 on the kickstarter but it was priced at $400 in Blackpool. I don’t think you can get it now, the website is “upgrading” at the moment.
What you get : You get a box which can close thanks to magnets, it’s the same box that was provided with Vapr ! Again, it feels very good and classy, as usual with all Sansminds Pro Elite. Inside, you will find a paper with a link to watch the instructions online, they are very well made, and you learn everything so you can use correctly your Vapr Watch. Then there is the remote, which is rattling (people who opened it said it’s the battery) but working fine, it’s the same one as provided with Vapr. Then, there is the charger and the little armband in order to put your remote inside. And of course, last but not least, the watch, I chose the Silver one which was a Blackpool exclusive, and it looks gorgeous ! I don’t think it’s too big, it looks perfectly fine on my wrist. Overall, for the price, I don’t feel cheated, it works fine and looks beautiful.
The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end.
THE CONS :
[if !supportLists]– [endif]I had to change my watch twice during Blackpool ! First, the watch didn’t want to turn on, even after a full charge. Then, it was the timepiece which didn’t work ! But the one I have now works perfectly fine.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]It may look a little bit big on some people.
THE PROS :
[if !supportLists]– [endif]The watch looks beautiful, big watch is a trend right now and for the price asked, it is not even that expensive in my opinion.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]The watch does tell the time so you can use it as your regular watch ! It’s a big plus, I didn’t find it awkward to have a watch which didn’t tell the time but some people did so it’s nice to have this feature.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]It has been built professionally, you can feel it, this is something which has been thought of a long time.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]The watch you produce is actually very thick and it comes right into your fist thanks to the pump ! So people won’t think the smoke is coming out of the watch.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]Thanks to the remote, you can do a full 1 minute smoke production, there is no problem about that, you can do up to 1 minute even if you don’t have to.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]You don’t have to wait between 2 puffs of smoke, you can do one after another !
[if !supportLists]– [endif]You get a 3 months warranty on it which is a nice attention.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]The battery lasts 24 hours so you have enough power to do multiple puffs before charging it again.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]The refills allows you to do around 100 puffs.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]The wristband is custom made so the tube can fit inside.
[if !supportLists]– [endif]The watch is pretty silent, not completely but you wouldn’t hear it in a regular situation.
Overall rating : I do believe this is a breakthrough in magic, the technology is amazing and the smoke is beautiful, I won’t use it but I can see many people wearing it, 3.5/4 hearts.
As for the difficulty level, you just have to push on a button so nothing hard, I would say 2/5 stars.
Similar products : The Lynx Smoke watch is good watch too, it depends on the style you want to use.
