Design and Build Quality

The VZone Cultura is a small and compact device, measuring in at 89mm x 38mm x 30mm, and it is available with four eyecatching finishes- Gun Metal, SS, 7-Color and Camo. A fine two tone colour finishing bracket is found on the mod for better grip, and In Mould Labelling is used on the finish for graphics quality and greater wear resistance. It's a great looking and very well made device for sure!

Large stainless steel buttons are found at the side, including a large firing button that makes the VZone and Cultura 100W logos on the sides of the mod light up when you fire it, which is a pretty cool feature! A large and clear display shows you the current resistance, wattage/temperature setting, voltage output, taste mode setting, output setting and battery life.

A hinged battery door is found at the base of the Cultura 100W, which also has four venting holes present on it. The VZone Cultura 100W accepts a single 20700 battery by default, and an adaptor is provided should you wish to use an 18650 battery.

5 clicks of the power button will turn the VZone Cultura 100W on and off

Performance

The VZone Cultura 100W has VZone’s advanced HW Board 1.0, which means that in wattage mode, it is able to fire coil resistances of 0.1-3.0ohm, and output power from 7-100W. Power delivery is near enough instant after pressing the button, with no noticeable delay from pressing the fire button to the Cultura 100W actually firing.

Temperature control users are well catered for with the Cultura 100W, preset modes for Ni200, Titanium and Stainless Steel are all present here, and a custom TCR input mode is also available too. The Cultura 100W reads resistance accurately in temperature control mode from 0.05ohm to 1.0ohm, and fires wattage up to 100W in TC mode.

You have the choice of using either a 20700 battery or an 18650 battery, with my own personal preference being the 20700 battery, due to the extra battery life. With an 18650 battery I will get just under a day’s use, with a 20700 I’ll get around a day and a half.

Conclusion

This is a great small form factor mod, that has been well manufactured, looks the business and performs superbly too! The board is packed with features, and the menu system is easy to navigate and use. I do really like the option of being able to use both 20700 and 18650 batteries!

All in all, the VZone Cultura 100W is a great little mod, I found it very difficult indeed to find any negatives with this device!

Many thanks to VZone for sending the Cultura 100W in for review! We have two of these to give away in our competition here - https://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/competitions/two-vzone-culturas-competiton.html.
