![]() ![]() If you find the screen a little too intrusive, you can always switch it off with the ‘stealth’ mode in the settings. ![]() ![]() It makes it a lot more user-friendly (than having to remove the panel to see data), and there’s something quite boldly brazen about it showcasing its a more updated version just from the exterior. However, up close and in use, it doesn’t really detract from the design. It’s something that I was concerned about when I saw the new V2 designs. Some might say that the inclusion of an LCD screen on the outside of the mod (instead of neatly tucked away behind the side panels like other AIO devices) takes away from the overall clean aesthetic. So onto the most significant change, that new board and integrated screen. Even with changing one adjustment button to two adjustment buttons for the new board, dotMod made sure to recess them so old side panels would still fit ok. It’s the small attention to detail that allows this to happen. This must be commended, as too many manufacturers see a new device as a cash-grab opportunity without considering the users. The change in materials and the use of glass panels is a subtle design change most might not even notice, but it makes a big difference without compromising the overall quality.ĭotMod has also been very deliberate in ensuring that all the design changes never deviated from the original design so that all side panels and other customization are cross-compatible. There is a moment when the light catches the glass side panels, and they have a nice shimmering prism effect, which I’m sure will be even more apparent on the lighter colored mods than the ‘Black’ version we have in for review. They are also incredibly smooth to touch and barely look any different from the matte aluminum ones. The side panels deserve a little more focus here because not only are they slimmer than the originals, which allows for the device to be a touch wider to compensate for the internals without changing the overall size. This, alongside the new plastic/glass combo side panels, means the V2 weighs only at 70g without a battery! The dotAIO V2 keeps the same aluminum outer shell on the body, but the internals are now plastic. The original dotAIO was a full aluminum body device with slender aluminum side panels and weighed 89g without a battery. DotMod has also made some excellent choices in material changes. If you take into consideration that their limited edition frosted plastic versions of the original dotAIO came in a little larger in size, it’s even more impressive. The dotAIO V2 measures in at 77.8mm x 45.2mm x 22.7mm – it’s dot for dot the same size as its predecessor! I’m amazed that dotMod has managed to go one further and include a full board and screen in exactly the same size device without compromising anything. It’s a sleek box that manages to fit an external 18650, chipset, and boro-style pod in such a compact design. The dotAIO’s have always had one of the cleanest design aesthetics on the market. ![]()
