Introduction
The Ranger Mod is a powerful 234w TC mod which has an 80's look about it and massive colour screen. The device looks nothing like any device i have seen before so let's give it a good look.

Contents:
1x Hugo Vapor Ranger GT234 MOD (no cell)
1x USB Cable(upgrading & charging)
1x Warranty Card
1x Warning Card
Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Ranger comes in small cardboard box packaging but once opened the device itself is slightly larger than the average dual 18650 device and quite weighty due to being mainly constructed of zinc alloy. There are 2 colours available Red and Black, i received the Red version. The device stands out from the crowd with almost an 80's look and i look at it and for some reason i just think Lego has this is how a device could look if you built one out of the famous bricks, and i mean that in a good way the Ranger looks so different from any device i have seen before and in my opinion originality is good. The front of the device has a rectangular with cut corners Black fire button central top, towards the bottom we have the 2 navigational buttons with a mode button between them, these are also rectangular with cut corners and also Black but smaller. Central bottom we have the micro USB port but the main feature of the front is a large mirrored finish screen sitting centrally, and when i say mirrored i mean mirrored a lady could easily use it while touching up her make up, fellows too if that's your thing, i have no issues with that. Finally on the front of the devise there is a translucent strip down both sides next to the screen for LED's to shine through. The sides of the device has a slot each side for battery venting which also adds to the aesthetics of the device, The back of the device has "RANGER" raised in large letters the same colour as the device. The base has branding and safety stamps, up top we have a central raised platform which houses the 510 plate, the 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded. The build quality is very good but with all those edges (they are not sharp) and front fire button it's not the most ergonomic device.

Fitting the Batteries
To fit your dual 18650's the back panel needs removing, the panel covers half the device and where the panel meets the front half of the device each side there is an open slot which is both for battery venting and to help remove the panel. The battery compartment is very neat and tidy and although battery orientation is Black on Black the + and - are that large and the battery compartment is fully open to light i am ok with it. When removing the batteries there is no need for a battery ribbon as i have already explained the removed back panel covers the back half of the device so you can easily get your fingers around enough of the batteries to remove them. The battery panel secures into position with magnets, 2 large ones at the top and 2 smaller ones towards the bottom, the panel has no movement whatsoever it is impressively secure.
The Display
When the batteries are fitted the device comes on, to turn the device off is done in the menu system and once off to turn back on is 5 clicks. The screen is a massive 2" colour display and the Ranger makes good use of the real estate with plenty of information, large font, excellent layout and good use of colour. Top left of the display we have the status of the batteries shown by bars and as a percentage, top right we have the current mode the device is in. Central top we have the day and time, below this in very large font is the wattage (temp when in temp control) and to the right of this we have both the unit (W for watts, C for centigrade or F for Fahrenheit) and time vaped. Further down to the left is the resistance and to the right is the voltage, finally bottom left is the amps and bottom right the puffs In the menu you can both set screen timeout and set a wallpaper which is actually your screensaver, the device comes with a very nice large analogue clock set as the screensaver which i find very aesthetically pleasing but there is also a couple of other choices that also look good.
