Innokin Coolfire Z80 Zenith II Vape Kit

Glad it's been discontinued – don't get one! (15 March 2023)

If you're looking at reviews on here before picking up one of these from resellers please buy something else. My first one (not bought from Vapeclub but from elsewhere) lasted 3 days before it totally died. Thinking it was just a fluke I bought another at considerable cost and that one started throwing a low voltage error that made it unusable within two weeks. Innokin make some decent vapes, many of which are available on vapeclub, so opt for one of those instead.

Excellent Mod Kit (23 September 2022)

This is an excellent bit of kit from innokin
Just the way I like them.
Looks nice, feels nice, nice weight (light)
Tank that's comes with the kit is amazing, shame it's only 2ml but that can be easily sorted.
Nice clear colour screen
Easy to use
Great for beginners or more advanced vapers
I highly recommend this kit.

Brilliant (15 September 2022)

Innokin are my go-to mods/kits, so on return to vaping I plumped for the Coolfire Z80. After a few months (I REALLY thought I'd left a review before!!) I can say they've done it again. The build is quality, and the Black Leather option I chose is both sturdy and classy. Also, probably the easiest and least messy filling system I've used. Great flavour pull on pretty much any liquid, and not huge or bulky if you're out and about. Faultless.

Perfect light weight mod (04 July 2022)

I am a massive fan of the innokin coolfire zenith 2 Z80 I have 4 of these kits I personally think they are the best light weight mod on the market that I can use them any where I go I do use the Zenith 2 Tanks that come with the kit and there Awesome but I prefer to use the innokin coolfire Z80 mods for RTA Rebuildables like the kayfun lite plus 2021 and Ambition Mods Bishop there perfect to use like this and look absolutely great with a Rebuildable RTA on top same as all mods I use l like them simple to set-up and innokin coolfire Z80 kits fits the bill perfectly.

Good mod/tank, poor material... (02 March 2022)

First off let me say I'm very satisfied with the mod and the tank that comes with it.

The mod is simple enough to use, and easy enough to read all the usual stuff like wattage, coil, battery, ect.. as with most Innokin mods I've used.
The tank is great for mouth to lung vaping, and also fairly decent, if not great, for direct lung vaping if you prefer a more 'airy' draw. It's also very easy to top up juice and switch coils (the 0.8 coils being my favourite).

The one major issue I have with the mod is the kind of suede material on the ash grey version I bought.
As time has went on, any spillage or leaks from the tank have got onto the material and it soaks into this material, leaving it quite soggy and difficult to remove.
Because of this, the longer I've used it, the soggy material has now started to become removed from the mod.

Overall it's a good mod and tank, but I'd highly recommend going for the leather versions instead.

Very pleased (14 August 2021)

Previously using a Smok RPM4 which was fine for 10mg and 20mg 50/50 Nic Salts but as soon as I dropped to 6mg the coils kept flooding even with thicker 70VG. Think I was sucking too hard on it. Had this Innokin a week and have reduced nicotine further and had no such problems.

Chose this as I wanted something reasonably small in the hand and didn't like the look of chunkier style cases of competitor models. This one is nice and smooth to hold and a good comfortable shape. Not too heavy either. Although I liked the idea of the suede I thought it would get in a mess and so chose the leather which is nicely padded and is grippy and not slippery. Buttons are good with positive feedback.

Progressed from 10ml bottles to 70/30 shortfills with 20mg Nic Salt shots starting at 3.3mg strength and now dropped to 1.8mg and it continues to perform delivering a nice smooth flavoursome vape with the 0.8 MTL coils at 18W.

The Zenith II tank is great, very easy and mess free to fill and I haven't had any overfill instances nor felt that the coil has become a bit saturated. The air flow has a good range from very tight draw to a lot of air. It is nice and easy to adjust, the twisty adjuster is tight but smooth to operate and doesn't alter accidentally/on its own.

There is a good range of coils to try. The 1.0 seems good for RDL with reasonable cloud although a bit harsh MTL for me but if you want a strong throat hit then they may be a good option. I'm not really used to RDL but it seems to deliver well and I think the kit would be a good crossover to get into that if desired.

I changed the coil after a week as I was keen to try the 1.0 ones I'd got. I could have delayed this as it was OK although the taste didn't seem quite as strong as when new but I'm sure it could have gone on longer without being tasteless or failing.

I do find I'm getting through juice much more quickly than with the Smok but I think that is because I've reduced nicotine and am currently vaping more. Because of TPD I've ordered an XL glass from abroad to expand capacity to much more practical 5.5ml.

Replaceable battery was another factor for choosing this model so I can carry a spare rather than having to charge on the go. I've got some 2600mAh Sony batteries and I need to change it once per day sometimes twice. This is running at 18W and vaping around 800 puffs or so. I don't know if this is comparable to other devices with the same battery size, suspect it is similar.

Battery compartment is very easy to open/close and not fiddly, its designed and made well and there doesn't look to be a part that could break. I've been using a separate battery charger so can't comment on the built in USB apart from the fact that its on the front and would be easy to use. Being critical I'd like to see an actual battery percentage but the green/amber/red filled in battery indicator works fine.

It has the option for either volts or wattage setting, I've been using it on wattage and just tried settings between the recommended range for the coils as printed on the box. I've ended up at the max wattage as this tastes the best although this likely impacts battery life but I'm not really sure how much difference 3W reduction would make. I wouldn't know what to do with volts and there doesn't seem any advantage in fiddling with that for me.

I personally can't tell any difference in the vape with the F0 function enabled, I've left it turned on as its supposed to extend coil life, I can't say at this stage whether it does but there doesn't seem to be any great advantage in turning it off.

I started vaping on a Caliburn G (which is still handy to use for a quick vape of an unusual flavour) and then upgraded to the Smok RPM4 (which I've entirely abandoned). So in my experience if you're using a beginners MTL pod system then I'd upgrade straight to this and avoid other "better" pod systems as this gives a superior vape and is all round more practical with removable batteries and easier filling.

Both the mod and tank are very well made and nicely finished. A solid quality bit of kit which is a pleasure to use. I'm confident it will last a long time and I won't want or need to change it either. Highly recommended.
