Captains log: Stardate 02092017 - The Steamship Pugleprise remains in orbit whilst investigating the whereabouts of the planet Ijoy's inhabitants - A curious species of designers with behaviour that for the best part appears to be utterly illogical...
Nothing new for the Eastern sector of planets I know yet their method of batting ideas back and forth across the design table is ......'unorthodox'....to say the least....
The results of which are often misunderstood.....wayward....fucking mental....actually...
Still....we shall endeavour to understand this peculiar and eccentric breed for the good of all mankind, If for no other reason...... than to find out exactly.....what fucking planet they're actually on..... These are the voyages of the Steamship Pugleprise, Its mission: to explore strange new devices, To boldly blow....where no vapour...has been blown before....
Oh yeah...totally made for this Captain shit...
.......................................................................................................................
Avast me hearties!....welcome to another pile of drivel pushed unwittingly unto your good selves by the Captain of this good ship ...erm......Pugglepop....? (really......??) .....hmm....anyways....On this particular voyage I shall be looking at something that once again for Ijoy is a tad confusing....for a few reasons as it goes but still....this doesn't always mean it's a massive pile of excrement....on the contrary, The best ideas can sometimes come out of thinking unconventionally ....or....dropping an acid and getting twisted at work while you're meant to be picking the colour scheme of something you're working on....as appears...to be the case....here....SO...Let's introduce you to today's booty....courtesy of my landlubbers Heavengifts ...The Ijoy ....or iJoy.....or IJOY...depending on where you read it....Captain PD1865 Kit....and I'll also be giving this particular kit away too so keep reading for details....
Now before I start, This IS the kit with the 5s RDTA, And if you follow Steampugs reviews you will know that I have already reviewed the 5s only a couple of weeks ago so rather than me droning on about the same thing again I'm gonna give you a picture...
And a link.....
Steampugs Ijoy 5s RDTA Review
And weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen (whatever that means) on the Ijoy Captain PD1865....
The Captain PD1865 is a 225w, Dual 18650, TC super compact device that has a lot going for it, It's well made, It's powerful, It feels good in the hand, It's easy to use and let's be honest....it ain't ugly.....
It has setting's for all your wires, A relatively accurate TC mode by all accounts, various other weird and wonderful modes to massage your inner OCD tendencies all displayed on a very bright OLED screen,
More safety features than you can shake a shitty stick at and a perfectly placed 510 that can take a 30mm top.
In the package you get everything you would expect, They always like to give you a complete kit, So you even get some rather nice fused claptons as well as the usual trinkets...which is very nice of Ijoy.
The Fire button is the size of a small planet and is a similar style to other Ijoy devices like the RDTA Box and RDTA Box mini, And although some found sticking issues with this style of button .....They seem to have sorted that out with this one, It feels nice and clicky and is very comfortable to use as well as nigh on impossible to miss with anything you choose to press it with...
All seems sound enough, and you'd be right in thinking so, It is sound enough, In fact I could stop right here after telling you it's a great mod, Give you a link and a price and be off on my merry way and you'd be none the wiser.....however.... I have a few things to say ...and I do tend to love the sound of my own voice so.....where's all this illogical confusion I was talking about in the long winded intro to this review?.......how about we talk about that for a second.....
For starters....I'm not 100% sure why this thing exists?....We already have the Captain PD270 which utilises the 'latest fandangled' 20700 batteries.....a fad I think....but still, with that model you also got a silicone sleeve to fit your everyday industry standard 18650's as well so....if we already have that.....why the fuck do we need this?....one that only fit's 18650's..?
And my second mind-fuck came as i was inspecting the captain for the first time, I took it out of the box and admired it's gunmetal grey paint job.....classy looking....sturdy....solid.....then I turned it over....
I don't think 'gobsmacked' quite cuts it......I must of stared at it for a good 10 minutes before I gave up trying to work out what the fuck it was.....
Don't get it...don't understand it...not gonna claim to....It's the most bizarre choice of design that I have ever seen on any device...ever.....ever ever.....Is it modern art?.......Jackson Pollock meets Surrealism?....I literally have no clue.....It's fucking awful I'll tell you that much and has absolutely no place on this mod....or any mod to be fair....
And my final 'WTF were you thinking' award goes to the carbon fibre inlay's.....Not because they're there....but because they are not....confused?...well so was I...again, You see the mod comes bereft of any carbon fibre at all...the self adhesive inlays actually come in the box...which would be understandable if you had a choice within the kit like they did with the Maxo but you don't...And when the mod is 'Naked' it doesn't look right at all so you will use them....So why not just have the fucking things put on properly by someone who knows what they are doing in the first place? I was there for 20 minutes trying to get these things on perfectly....much to the amusement of my Mrs....Who's kind offerings of 'would you like me to do it for you dear' ....were not greeted with enthusiasm...
It's not rocket science I know that, You just peel the back off and stick them on, But if you don't get it exactly spot on the first time you will have to pull it off and start again....like I did... and this stretched the inlays slightly so they didn't fit quite as well.....so inevitably ...they looked a bit shit....the shame...
