Introduction

The Saber 100 is a 100W tubular variable wattage device which in this kit is paired with the gorgeous looking Diamond Subohm tank. It will run on either a 20700 or 18650 (with included adaptor) battery and pretty much allows you to adjust wattage and that's it. There are plenty of people who want to be able to regulate wattage but that's all they want and don't want the added complications that come with most regulated devices.

Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The Saber 100 Kit comes in typical iJoy cardboard packaging, i received the Stainless Steel version, it's also available in Black, Rainbow, Gun Metal, Blue, Red, Purple, Green, Gold and White, all versions come with matching Diamond tank. The Diamond tank is 25mm at the base but the bottom and top has diamond design heavy texturing that broadens the tank which suits the stunning iridescent bulge glass, on top sits a resin 810 drip tip. The device is tubular and bigger in diameter at the bottom than the top. The main tube is in the colour of choice with Black bottom battery cap that tapers in and top section (also Black) that steps in from the main tube. The front has a Black protruding pentagonal shaped fire button towards the top, towards the bottom is an isosceles trapezoid shaped Black panel which houses the screen and Black pentagonal up and down buttons. The back of the device has the micro USB port towards the top, at the bottom is "IJOY" etched into the metal. The base which is the battery cap has branding, two swords crossing logo and a central venting hole. The stepped top section houses the spring loaded 510, around the parameter it says "MAY VAPE FORCE BE WITH YOU", there is also safety stamps. The build quality is good and as you would expect from a tubular device it has very good ergonomics.

Diamond Subohm Tank Overview

The Diamond Subohm Tank in my opinion is quite a looker, it's 25mm in diameter at the base but the diamond design texturing top and bottom adds some girth to the tank and also suits the bulge glass. The tank separates into it's various parts easy enough and is made up of the normal base, top and glass sections. The bulge glass gives the Diamond a capacity of 5.5ml and is iridescent which looks gorgeous when the light catches it. The Kit also includes a straight tinted 4ml glass (TPD version is 2ml) but the iridescent glass in my opinion looks too nice not to use. The drip tip is an 810 with o-rings fitting so if you want to fit another 810 it needs to be one with o-rings. The drip tip is in 2 parts, the resin mouth section screws on to a silver base so i would imagine different resin sections will be available. The coils are 2 different types of mesh both are 0.15 with a rating of 40w to 90w. The airflow is dual cyclops with stopper which moves with nice resistance and finally the tank is top fill, a half turn and the top is off likewise just a half turn secures the top-cap onto the tank. The only slight issue i have is the drip tip is slightly loose, it doesn't come out during use put occasionally pops out when removing the top-cap.

Fitting the Battery

The bottom of the device unscrews so you can slide a 20700 or 18650 (with adaptor) into the tubular device. Battery orientation is marked both inside the tube and on the screw on cap, the threading is a bit crunchy but that's my only build quality issue.



Using the Saber 100

The Saber 100 is a variable wattage device with very little functionality which is exactly what the people who would be interested in this device would want. To turn the device on and off is the usual 5 clicks and once on the small screen displays all the information you need. The screen is small but with the device only needing to display the basic information it's big enough. Most of the left of the screen displays your wattage, to the right we have a battery indication bar and below this "W" for watts just to remind you the figure on the left of the screen is your watts. Left bottom we have your puffs which while taking a vape changes to volts then back to puffs, finally right bottom is your resistance. You have up and down buttons which you use to adjust the wattage to what you want then simply press the fire button and vape. The only other function the device has is 3 clicks of the fire button brings up the puff reset screen which gives you the options yes or no. Adjusting the wattage with single clicks alters it in 0.1w increments but if you hold the up or down button down it alters in 1w increments which i do like. The device has a IWEPAL chip which gives you all the safety features you would expect including short-circuit protection, low-power protection, and anti-reverse protection of the battery. The lack of functionality of the device is the whole point but i really do thing you should have a lock device feature.

Marketing Rubbish

I get marketing and those with anything between the ears will know to take a lot of it with a pinch of salt and not have any issues with it.
But sometimes i just think it's cleverly misleading and out of order, this is taking nothing away from the device as for what it is i like it and think it will suit many people but, "Personalized pentagonal fire button", which to me is trying to give the impression maybe the light around the surround could be customized when it can't, it's just a fire button that fires (in fact it doesn't even have a surround that lights up). "Personalized design, with a unique experience" is another one i found on the ijoy specs on their website and "Unique custom user mode" which really is giving the impression the device has some sort of mode like custom curves when all you can do is adjust wattage. Cut it out IJOY!



My Experience Using the Saber 100 Kit

I like the simplicity of this device, what it does (just delivers set wattage) it does well. It fires instantly and the fire button is nice and clicky. I personally do miss certain features like curves for example but if someone wants those sort of features they wouldn't be looking at a simple device like this. The inclusion of the Diamond Subohm tank is a big pro, it's a beautiful looking tank with it's iridescent glass and diamond design texturing and multiple coil options are available for it. Both coils that were included i used with the airflow only half open as the Diamond has plenty of air, the DM mesh coil i found best at 60W but if i opened up the airflow more the wattage needed to be upped to compensate to keep the same flavour. The DM DM coil i found best at only 50W but again although i didn't try probably need a higher wattage with more air. Both tank and device of course can be used independently with 25mm tanks sitting flush on the Saber, anything bigger will overhang. The device seemed to give really good battery life for a single battery device and it's fully firmware upgradeable.
