Reduced autonomy
To switch from one mode to another, you just have to press a small button located on the front panel between the + and -. This button is very small and it is not easy to simultaneously press this one and another to adjust the power, for example.
Another issue is the micro-USB located under the box that obliges recharging it on the side with a risk of leakage from the atomizer.
