In this review we will be testing the nice looking Cold Steel 100 mod from Chinese company Ehpro and youtuber AmbitionZ VapeR.
In the spring of this year, the famous Chinese device manufacturer Ehpro presented the Cold Steel 200 box mod, the main feature of which was an unusual design and premium materials of the body using stainless steel, from which, in fact, the mod took its name. At that time, the novelty was met by the vape community rather cool, including for the not insignificant price tag. A little later, Ehpro presented a younger version of their “Cold Steel”, endowing it with the same quality materials and a completely new body with a remarkable design. And now we are to get acquainted with the Cold Steel 100 along with its features.
Unpacking the Ehpro Cold Steel 100
The Cold Steel 100 arrives in the hands of users in a compact cardboard box, on the front side of which the logo of one of the developers shines and shimmers along with the name of the device itself. The manufacturer’s logo is also here, and the Ehpro website is at the bottom. canadian vape shop edmonton The back of the box is not very informative and is filled only with inscriptions with various warnings, apart from the certificates at the bottom. On one of the sides you can find a code to check the mod for originality and a couple of links to Ehpro’s social media accounts.
The Cold Steel 100’s delivery set is not particularly rich, but it still has the most necessary accessories, even a special pouch made of dense fabric for storing and carrying the device on the belt. The thing is not too useful, of course, but it is a nice bonus.

To turn the device on or off, you need to perform a standard set of actions – press the Fire button five times for two seconds. After that, the boxmod will greet the user and display the main screen with a typical set of icons. The output power is adjustable in the range of 5-120W in 0.1W increments, and in case of higher power values the setting will be done in 1W increments. There is a circular scrolling, which is very convenient.
The boxmod has a very wide functionality, represented by five vaping modes. To access the main menu, you will need to click on the Fire button three times, after which the power adjustment keys can be used to scroll through the items, the first of which is POWER.

Summary
Most users usually use such single battery devices in conjunction with some MTL atomizer, and in this way Cold Steel 100 can be confidently called a great companion for your cigarette maker. The well working board can also handle higher power levels, which will allow you to add a DTL atomizer to it, but with the two-coil version one battery will not last long, of course. You can praise the device almost endlessly, it is almost devoid of significant drawbacks. So, to the unambiguously positive sides should be attributed the excellent quality of manufacture with the use of good materials. The device actually feels expensive and weighty, but in moderation. The ergonomics of the mod is also on top, it fits in the hand like an inline. We can’t fail to mention the support of all the most common battery formats, as well as the flawless operation of the battery cover. And the connector, by the way, can easily accommodate atoms up to 25mm – another nice bonus.
Nevertheless, there are still some not entirely positive aspects of the Cold Steel 100. The first such feature of this particular coloring is the difficulty in selecting the color of the atomizer. It would have been much more practical if the body of the device had a steel color akin to that of various tanks and drip tanks. The surface treatment also raises questions about scratch resistance, if you treat the device not too carefully. And for the presence of patina on the brass parts right out of the box the boxmod should also be scolded, although this process is inevitable in any case.
