Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of Geekvape Blade Dual 2x700 Mod. Please see bottom for disclaimers and links
Introduction:
The Geekvape Blade is the latest mod from long time manufacturer Geekvape and is a 2X700 mod (takes 21700 and 20700 batteries) that comes with an adapter for 18650 batteries. What I like best about the adapter is instead of a cover to put on the batteries, it’s actually a battery trey you slide into the mod to reduce the size of the battery tray. Great Idea for sure. It’s available in 4 colors, Matte Black, Starry Night, Poppy, and Crystal Sand (rainbow)

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got this mod, i was pretty impressed with the looks and weight. It’s really small and has a nice design to it. I got the starry night one and I like the coloring on it, but for those who don’t there is a matte black version as well and a few other options. It’s also really light for the size mod. They claim it’s made out of Aircraft Grade PPS, so I had to look up what that is, and it’s Polyphenylene Sulfide, which is a really strong type of plastics commonly used in automotive and industrial applications. I won’t get into detail but you can read more on it here The bottom has a rounded front (as does the top) so tilting it forward makes it wobble a bit. Kind of a recurring theme for me lately but it’s not as bad as the mojo. I made a gif
showing that. It’s also kinda easy to tip over but you’ll notice this mostly if you have a heavy atomizer on it and take out the batteries and place it down without batteries to counterbalance the weight of the tank. It’ll tip itself over. Outside of that though, I was pretty impressed with it from the start.
Watt Mode Performance (chart and spreadsheet in picture album)
Let’s get into some data. I ran my normal testing, but since it’s a dual 2x700 mod I used the ijoy 5 leg 20700 Batteries instead of my normal sony VTC5A i use for 18650 mods. Testing resistances were done at .11 , .15, .2, and .49 ohms. wattage points were max (235), 200, 150, 100, 75, 50, and 25. At .11 ohms it maxed out at 232 watts and 46 amps. For the rest of the testing it was low 1 to 5 watts with the lower the wattages the more accurate it was. It was 1 watt high at 25. At .15 it maxed out at 240 watts. The rest of the tests it was never off by more than 4. For the .2 test it maxed out at 241 watts. At 200 setting it was 6 watts high, but everything else never off by more than 2. For the .49 testing it maxed out at 175 watts and 9.257 volts. The rest of the testing it was never off by more than 1 watt except for the 150 test where it was 6 high. The volts shows there is a boost circuit in this mod which is a big plus to me for a dual battery mod
Overall I was pretty impressed with the performance of this mod. At 100 or less it was usually within a watt or 2, at 150+ it was only 5-6 off at worst case. The high volt output is proof of a boost circuit which is a nice bonus. The most amps i got was 46 which is really good for a dual battery mod. The average is 40 overall but for dual 2x700 mods most are around 45ish but i’ve only had the pleasure of testing a handful of them (ijoy diamond, Vboy 222, RX2 27100, and geekvape blade) It can pretty much do it’s full watt range from .11 to .2 at minimum which is nice and it is accurately rated since it does do 241 watts. The watt curve is awesome as well and works like a full curve instead of set points where it does X watts for Y amount of time. The curve you see on the screen is what the mod produces
Simplified TLR Performance summary
Mod performance is excellent. Accurately rated. Accuracy is really good, most of the time dead on or within a watt or 2 of the setting at 100 or less. 150 or more can be up to 5-6 watts off. High amp limit of 46, max watts 241, Max volts 9.257 so there is a boost circuit. Watt curve mode is awesome as well.
Temperature Control Performance
Using SS316 wire with the TCR mode and TCR set to 92 (SS default is 105 so i went with TCR mode instead) , I tested 6 builds a single round spaced, a dual round spaced, and 2 fancy single coils and 2 fancy dual coil builds. There is power adjustment on this mod in temp control mode for the full watt range. However I found adjusting the watts does nothing noticeable for ramp up. Even with it set at 200 the screen itself would only read our 40-50ish most of the time to start the vape. Reminds me a lot of the issue with the drag and voopoo mods in regards to that. With smaller builds it’s not an issue but even with my single coil build that needs about 60 watts, the ramp up was far too slow (.2 ohm resistance). Only smaller builds will have a decent ramp up. As far as performance goes, it’s pretty anemic. I had to push it up to 550F to get any sort of a decent vape on my builds and even then it felt like it throttled too much and was always a weak vape. Overall It’s a fail for me in temp mode.
