Tek Division Phobos 21700 DNA60

Tek Division Phobos 21700 DNA60
Boutique Boro mods don’t show up in mainstream roundups very often, and the Phobos is exactly the kind of device that flies under the radar until someone in your Discord starts posting clouds from it. Tek Division have taken the Evolv DNA60, dropped it into a PA12 nylon shell, and built the whole thing around a 21700 cell — which in the Boro world is still a genuine differentiator. This isn’t cheap, it isn’t for beginners, and it doesn’t pretend to be either.

VapeBeat Verdict

The Tek Division Phobos 21700 is an enthusiast’s investment. Buy it if you are already embedded in the Boro world and want a DNA60 platform with all-day 21700 battery stamina. Pass if you are looking for a complete kit or aren’t comfortable with the boutique price tag and community-driven support model.

Editor’s Thoughts

Here's the thing about the Phobos — it asks something of you before it gives anything back. During my time with it, the DNA60 delivered exactly what Evolv users expect: clean, consistent wattage with TC that doesn't require babysitting once dialled in through Escribe. The 21700 cell is the headline feature for daily carry, and it earns that billing; running a mid-ohm build at around 40W, I was getting noticeably more sessions between swaps than any 18650 Boro mod in my rotation. The PA12 body surprised me — it reads as lightweight in photos, but in hand it feels deliberate and solid, more Boxer Classic than budget print. Where it differs from something like the San AIO DNA80C is in the package: the San hands you a complete system, while the Phobos assumes you already have the rest of the puzzle. That's not a flaw, it's a design philosophy. For the right person — experienced, already Boro-committed, after a keeper — this is exactly that.

  • Vaperz Cloud Pixel AIO

    Vaperz Cloud Pixel AIO

    Most Boro mods make you work for the privilege of carrying them — chunky profiles, loose cells rattling around a separate case, screens you have to navigate like a settings menu. The Pixel AIO throws that playbook out entirely. Vaperz Cloud have squeezed a genuine Boro platform into a footprint that competes with mid-size pod kits, built an internal 3000 mAh battery in, and somehow kept 60W on the table. The compromise is real, but so is the concept.

  • Vaperz Cloud San AIO DNA80C

    Vaperz Cloud San AIO DNA80C

    There’s a small but very vocal corner of the Boro world that treats the San AIO like a piece of sacred geometry, and after spending real time with it, I get why. This is a collaboration between Vaperz Cloud and GeroBak that translates enthusiast-scene pedigree into a CNC-milled aluminum package barely bigger than a chunky lighter. Slap an Evolv DNA80C inside that footprint and you’ve got a serious piece of kit — just make sure your expectations match what it actually is rather than what the hype machine says it is.

    The Aspire Raga AIO is what happens when a brand actually listens to the enthusiast community and builds something worth getting excited about. Compact, punchy, and dripping in premium detail it’ll go toe-to-toe with mods costing twice the money. The one catch? That exposed 18650 is going to split the room, and Aspire knows it.

    The Tasteflex Ultralock 50K sets itself apart by actually trying something new, and making it work. Its motorized auto-wicking system might sound like a gimmick, but in practice, it delivers. The wicking is consistent, dry hits are basically nonexistent, and I didn’t run into any leaking during testing. The result? A smoother, more reliable vape than most disposables in its class.
