Introduction
Innokin need no introduction as they have been a very well regarded manufacturer for a very long time. Innokin probably get more mentions than any other manufacturer when someone new to vaping are looking for their first device with the Kroma-A with Zenith tank probably being the latest product to get this nod. The Proton is Innokin's latest high powered device boasting 235 top wattage and has all the usual features like TC suite and curves. With a fire bar and joystick navigator the Proton looks the business but is it? I give my thoughts.

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Proton came in the usual Innokin style cardboard packaging and once opened i was met by a very aesthetically pleasing device. I received the Rainbow version, it's also available in Gun Metal, Black, White, Blue and Red, apart from the White and Red versions were the bodies are White and Red on all other versions the colour of choice refers to the trim as the main body is Black. The front of the device houses the screen, central towards the bottom is a mini joystick with concave face, below this is the micro USB port followed by Rainbow trim. The back of the device has a textured section with rainbow trim top and bottom. Both sides have identical looking bars with Rainbow trim one is fixed the other if the fire bar which can be identified by the Proton logo towards the top. The base of the device which is the battery hatch door has safety stamps and venting, moving to the top and to one side is the 510 plate with Gold plated, spring loaded 510. The build quality is top notch and holding and firing with a squeezing action feels very natural.

Fitting The Batteries
The Proton takes 2 18650 batteries which get fitted via the hatch door on the base of the device. The door just needs sliding out slightly then it lifts up and once opened although a bit of play the door is sturdier than most of this style. The battery orientation is very vibrantly labelled inside the device but on the battery door is Black on Black. Once the batteries are fitted the door secures in place very securely and there is no movement or battery rattle whatsoever.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Display
The Proton has a 1.45" TFT colour screen and the display is bright and sharp, Innokin have done a really good job with the layout. Top left we have "INNOKIN" then to the right of this we have the 2 battery indication bars. The central section of the display has a circular design and positioned in the centre of this is the wattage (temperature when in temp control), underneath this is the seconds vaped. Bottom left of the screen we have volts, bottom right is the resistance then between the two we have the mode, finally if in temp control wattage appears above the mode. Throughout the menu system options appear as a list within a grid and the display can be changed to one of 6 different colours.
