The DESIRE Cutter Bottom-Feeding Regulated Box Mod is a single 21700 battery mod that can also be converted to 18650. Yes, it's a box! Not a kit. Hehe! Speaking of bottom-feeding, many bottom-feeding boxes emerged in the second half of 2017, with various companies researching their unique refilling methods and internal structures. This has led to a decrease in the prices of bottom-feeding boxes, making it a more "down-to-earth" national box.
The name of this bottom-feeding box is quite interesting; it was discovered by accident while cutting radishes, hence the name "CUT". Inspiration truly comes from everywhere.
Packaging
It uses a simple top and bottom packaging, with the front printed with the box's appearance and maximum power. The sides contain the company address and contact number (Tofu has already exposed this for you; you can take action as you wish. Hehe!) The box's SN serial number and color are also included. The back prints the device's battery model 21700*1, power output range: 5W-108W, voltage output range: 0V-8V. The supported minimum resistance is 0.08Ω. Temperature control range is 200°F-600°F.
Opening the box reveals a main unit, a conversion sleeve, a user manual, and an English warranty card. The manual is quite thoughtful, printed in both Chinese and English, making it convenient for domestic players to reference. It also comes with a data cable for connecting to a computer for chip upgrades and charging.
The included battery conversion sleeve is made of silicone material, which feels good. However, it lacks ventilation holes, which could be a significant issue when using 18650 batteries due to heat dissipation. The positive part at the top is detachable, with a slot that can securely fix it to the top of the conversion sleeve. This idea is quite user-friendly.
The refill bottle is something Tofu pays attention to (because some refill bottles on the market are poorly designed and can leak oil when pressed). The material used is still silicone, with just the right softness for pressing. As seen in the picture, the top of the bottle is designed in a "funnel" shape, and the cap is made of stainless steel, tightly fitting the refill bottle's top. When the cap's upper and lower parts are tightened, it prevents oil from overflowing when pressed.
The Box
The box features a multi-faceted cutting design, with dimensions of 45mm in width, 33mm in thickness, 86mm in height, and a weight of 178g. It fits comfortably in hand. The box uses ergonomic design for a comfortable grip. The outer shell is made of zinc alloy using die-casting technology, with a surface finish of sandblasted paint and pearl powder. The paint thickness is average (so try to avoid bumps and drops during use). The button is designed in the shape of the brand's logo, with a short travel and strong rebound. The 0.96-inch display is just the right size. Below the display, there is a breathing light that can be turned on and off by pressing the fire button four times. Tofu does not recommend turning it on, as it consumes a lot of power.
This box also comes in seven colors for everyone to choose from: black, white, red, yellow, blue, green, and purple.
The top features a universal 510 spring-loaded connector, with a groove design around it. Since the top does not have a base, during Tofu's usage, there have been occurrences of atomizers getting stuck and scratching the paint surface.
Now let's take a look inside the box. The lid uses four strong magnets, providing a good fit. The strong magnets on both ends have noticeable uneven paint. The battery terminals and oil delivery tube are gold-plated, and the workmanship is quite neat. The box is also equipped with a 21700 battery, 3.7V, 40A, 3750mAh, which has decent battery life (specific performance still depends on personal usage and wattage).
Chip and Functions
The startup screen is quite interesting; after pressing the power button five times, a line will rise from the bottom to the top. After it finishes, the brand name and logo appear. Similarly, pressing five times turns it off. This box uses the Cut Squonk 108W chip, which has short circuit protection, overcharge protection, low battery protection, 10-minute automatic lock protection, and 12-second timeout protection, with SV/1A USB charging specifications. The firing speed is very fast, reaching a level of instant draw.
This chip supports power mode, temperature control mode, and a curve mode. Pressing the fire button three times will make the mode on the screen flash, prompting you to enter the menu. Pressing the right button allows you to select VW, TC-NI, TC-TI, TC-SS, and PMG modes, supporting nickel, titanium, and stainless steel temperature control power modes, which I won't elaborate on here. The wattage can be adjusted as desired. Regarding the selection of temperature control mode, after confirming TC mode by pressing three times, press the left button to switch to wattage, puff count, puff time, and output current. The cursor display area of "W" will flash. You can also press the right button to adjust the wattage to maintain the temperature. When the cursor is positioned on wattage, puff count, puff time, and output current, use the right button to select the displayed information, and press the fire button to set it.
Tofu also wants to mention how to set the TCR. In the off state, press the fire button five times while holding the right button for three seconds to enter the TCR adjustment interface. In this interface, pressing the fire button can switch to set different TCR values, and the left and right buttons can increase or decrease the TCR value. Once set, long-press the fire button to confirm and exit. The curve mode is likely to be popular among many users. Tofu will explain how to set the curve mode. There are five values to choose from for setting. When the PMG cursor flashes, press the left button to set values 0-4. The left and right buttons can increase or decrease the values. Once all five curve values are set, long-press the fire button for one second to exit the setting. (If you still don't understand what Tofu is saying, you can refer to the manual.) In the powered-on state, simultaneously pressing the left and right buttons can lock and unlock the device.
I have had this box for some time now and have been using it. Besides the points mentioned in the article, another issue is that this device lacks ventilation holes, causing the box's temperature to gradually rise during use. Additionally, there is no battery strap in the battery compartment, making it inconvenient to remove the battery. There is also the issue of jump resistance, although it is not very serious, averaging between 0.01-0.02, which does not affect usage. However, Tofu finds it a bit awkward. The jump resistance issue can be resolved by downloading tools from the official website to upgrade the chip. The device I received is likely a sample unit, so I noticed these few shortcomings. If these are improved, it would be perfect, as the appearance, modes, and usage feel quite good. If you are interested in a chip-equipped bottom-feeding box mod, Tofu recommends you try this single 21700 Cutter.
