Review – Getting to know the Champion

The Atmos Boss is a lightweight, portable and durable wonder. The pen is designed to vaporize dry herbs evenly and with consistency. It has a high-grade stainless steel chamber that heats up quickly and consistently. The heating element in the chamber keeps it from touching the dry herbs, thus from combusting.

Unlike ceramic chambers that usually produce more taste, the Boss’ stainless steel chamber might give neutral flavors. However, it still offers a quality and smooth vapor.

Combined with a smooth airflow system, the Atmos Boss offers a great experience and gives the most of the vapor taste. And the steel of the heating chamber also ensures the vapor coming out is pure.

VD Atmos Boss LED

We think the Boss fast heating time is perfect (it already heats up the herbs after 20-30 seconds) and LED light colors indicators, it all makes it easy enough to understand and to use.

There is no adjustable temperature control, only a unique temperature that sets to about 400°F. However, it is still hot enough to give thick vapors.

Another thing we like is that the device has an auto shut-off mechanism that turns off the heat after 50 seconds. Some might find it too short, but we think it actually saves significant battery power.

Starting the Vape Pen

Charge the battery fully for about 2h, until you see the light turning green. Once fully charged and unplugged, fill up only half of the chamber with your herbs (up to 3/4 max). It is crucial to leave 1/4 space to allow a good air circulation while drawing.

Screw the mouthpiece back to the device, then press the power button five times to unlock the device.

Once the LED light blinks, press and hold the power button to start heating up. The vaporizer shuts off automatically after 40-50 seconds of nonstop vaping. When it happens, press the power button quickly again, to reactivate the device. Cannot be easier than that.

Testing the Atmos Boss

We were excited to test the Atmos Boss and verify for ourselves how to use and what vapor quality it offered. The Boss was extremely simple to use and even easier with the full instructions in the ‘User Guide.’

We loaded up the Boss since the battery was ready to go. In fact, it was delivered pre-charged so you can use it right away.

We first removed the draw stem from the connector by unscrewing it. Then we filled the tank with finely ground peppermint (mentha piperita). It is important not to fill to tight. We filled about half the chamber, but you can push it up to 2/3 maximum. Then screwed the draw stem back and turned on the Boss. Five clicks on the button will unlock and enable the power switch. Next, we pressed the power button firmly for 3-5 seconds and released it to begin vaporization. The LED indicator turned from red to green. It means that the Boss is fully heated and ready for use.

We really appreciated the 3-5 seconds preheat time. It heated up fast and lasted a long time. Getting to business, we had a consistent vapor size and quality. The peppermint taste and flavor were surprisingly good and tasty. We could taste a smooth peppermint flavor from the second draw, which was really nice. Since there are no temperatures settings, the Boss goes from zero to its peak temperature (380-400° max), in a few seconds. However, we could regulate the vapor quality a bit differently: slowing down our draws rate created thicker vapors, and drawing at quicker rate created slightly thinner vapors. All depending on how you like your clouds. However, this did not influence the taste, which remained consistent.

Vapor Quality

The Boss can produce a quite dense vapor, with quality flavors and without a trace of smoky smell or taste. It heats the material evenly to offer a good taste. The taste might sometimes be neutral or flavorless due to its stainless steel chamber (ceramic chambers usually offer more vapor taste).

Let’s get Practical

How to clean the Vape

Easy. Use a brush or q-tip to remove any remaining herbs in the heating chamber. Then apply a small dab of alcohol on a q-tip, and clean the chamber. The mouthpiece should also be cleaned regularly, simply wipe down the plastic mouthpiece with a damp cloth to remove any dirt you find there.

Battery Life

The Atmos Boss has a 1200mAh battery, which can easily be unscrewed from the herb chamber. It features an auto shut-off option, which helps to preserve the battery life. The battery can be charged directly from a computer or using the wall charger part. The pen comes pre-charged and ready to use directly after opening the box.

Atmos Rx vs. Atmos Boss

The Rx is very efficient with concentrates, but requires a bit more finesse with herbs, mainly because you would need glass screen filters to avoid direct contact with the herbs.

So this requires technique but gets easy with practice. However, if you only and simply want to vape herbs, then the Atmos Boss is your product.

My way of understanding the significance of vaping came not only through the disruption of smoking but its effects on society as a whole. Now I bring people to vaping and bring vaping to people. I love using new gear, writing in-depth reviews and generally nerding out about vaping to like-minded people.

    I need you guys to troubleshoot my atmos vaporizer. The pen goes through the red the blues sequences. Then once I try to sucky sucky it no worky worky. Shouldn’t I exhale smoke.
    Love,

      Hi Vickie, thanks for writing in. The Atmos Boss does not have temperature control so when the small LED turns green it means it is ready to vape. If the vapor isn’t coming through, the tank could be too full and make it hard to draw. Try filling the tank to half its capacity to see what comes out. Check the mouthpiece and carb cap to see if there is any obstruction. The Boss has pretty dense vapor production so it should be good to go if you follow these steps. Hope this helps, let us know how it goes. Take care and happy vaping!

    I have an Atmos Jump now and wondering if this would be as good or better?

    Thanks!
