Gi2 Mod By Grand Innovations Tested

  Gi2 Mod-1


The Gi2 Mod by Grand Innovations is a bit of an odd toy all things considered. It has a very futuristic appearance with a retro vibe, it is meant only for more tech savvy vapers and it acts more like a tiny computer in some respects than like a vaping device! Unlike the DNA-20s and DNA-30s, this little gadget looks nothing like a cigarette or a cigar, but more like some sort of snuff box, albeit a much more technical one! So what can you expect from this device and is it worth your time and money?


Here’s Looking at You, Kid


Gi2 Mod-2This is one impressive looking piece of tech. First of all, it’s a box mod, meaning that rather than shaped like a cigar, it’s shaped like a box! It features a touch screen which displays all manner of information related to your vaping experiences, from the wattage and voltage you have it set at to a second counter for your draw times. It even allows you to have one of six wallpapers that you can load onto a micro SD-chip and put on your device. And yes, this gadget does have a micro SD card chip!


The touch screen allows you to easily fiddle with a variety of settings. You can change up your wattage and voltage, check your battery life and keep track of your draws. You can also brighten the screen and do other fiddling to create a device that works best for you.


The Gi2 Mod takes two 18650 VTC-4 batteries and with these batteries and depending on your build, you can get some pretty impressive voltage. The system allows for up to 168 watts and is a super sub-Ohm system with a minimum of two watts of power. However, keeping mind that of course the more wattage you try to run, the shorter the battery life will be.


Finally, the Gi2 is compatible with many atomizers and tanks, making it easy to build the system the way you want it to go.


Problems With this System


The Gi2 Mod has some amazing gimmicks; the screen gives you a ton of information about your experience, it’s versatile and it’s incredibly powerful. However, it also has some problems:



  • The buttons, such as the firing button, are flat and small and it can be very hard to hit them!




  • The 510 connection is crooked so your things won’t fit flush. This can cause damage




  • This machine is very, very advanced which is pretty cool; however, it does create a slightly steep learning curve. Only tech savvy, veteran mod users will really enjoy this system as others might become frustrated with it. Treat it like a tiny, specialized computer to start with!




  • There is no USB port so you have to pop your batteries out in order to charge them




  • The micro SD chip can be hard to retrieve



  • There’s a half second delay between releasing the firing button and the actual device no longer firing which can waste vapor


  • A major system glitch exists too. It’s far too easy to lock the system so that you lock it while it’s firing which wastes a lot of vapor. The only way to stop it from doing this is to take the batteries out! This is dangerous and it can wreck your system. The creators have stated that this problem will be fixed in the next run.




  • Depending on the wattage you use, the battery life may be short or longer. The smaller wattage-30watts or less, can let your batteries stretch up to nine hours, but  a wattage of around 100 will shrink your battery life down to about an hour, hour and a half.



Gi2 Mod-3Finally we have the price tag which is at a whopping $320! Given that you get an impressive device, many vapers will consider the cost more than worth it. However, if you aren’t very experienced with mods or you just want something that will plug in and go, this will not be the device for you and the price tag will not be worth it. If you do decide to get this device, make sure to take the time to really explore it when you get it, experiment with it and really dig into it.


The Gi2 is an amazing mod and for those who really know what they’re doing, it’s fun to fiddle with to your heart’s content and really create an experience you will enjoy. However, if you’re not very tech savvy or mod savvy yet, it’s probably not a good idea to get one unless you just want a fancy trophy. With plenty of ways to modify your device and an elegant design, the Gi2 Mod is something that all serious, experience modders will want to try at least once. Enjoy!
