Nah. Just a rip-off. 2.0 implies functional improvements.

Rip off - TRUE - the highest form of flattery
( But most everything I do is "OPEN SOURCE"
not trying to get RICH in this life)

Did add these improvements (I believe) -

Upped the voltage - Running the batteries in series for a total voltage of around 6.3 volts - (They drop off from full charge pretty rapidly) During use the run around 5.1 volts and are pulling 1.12 amps which is less than What an atomizer uses with a USB mod (It pulls around 1.34 amps Voltage is 5.1 volts w/USB mod off computer)
OH the Vape is awesome!!!

Added Visual feedback - Used LED out of Battery

Added a main shutoff via Flashlight Switch
Added BONUS

Moved switch to a more ergonomic position
More like a smoking a cig instead of the other stuff (Carb hole )
