How much will it cost?

 

[Strings]

That was my first question. You'd think they'd at least give an MSRP of some kind

86mm tall, not bad; still prefer to have a replaceable battery though...

 

[Strings]

Still... at first glance, not bad competition to the iStick

Same here. I have been surprised how many otherwise innovative and advanced designs have a hard wired battery.
Even if they think they sell more repeat purchases, I think they would do better making uniquely shaped replaceable batteries.
You'd have to buy the battery from them, it would be greener, and I think it would actually lead to more sales for the manufacturer.

I don't like seeing all the hard wired batteries.

It is of my opinion that these are geared to the user that wants to jump from a cig-a-like to something with much better performance, and without the hassle of changing batteries. I also believe that mfg's are gearing towards lulling people into a feeling of security as far as battery safety. Myself when I first started looking into mods I didn't know jack about batteries and felt comfortable that the mfg placed the proper rated battery into their device.

I'm liking the 510/ego cap...interesting idea.

Overpriced . No screen to see what voltage . No replaceable battery . I paid the same amount for a Cloupor Mini. No thanks..........

I believe it actually does have a screen. The picture on the box it comes in shows faintly a screen.

 

[SS stingray]

Ok I see the screen. At around 20 bucks they would sell a bunch . My wife would love it since it has a strap clip. She has to hang her vape around her neck. I would buy one for her at 20 bucks..........

I wish I could recall where I saw a review of the heatvape defender, but someone had posted it has a weak top section. They were pulling it out of their pocket and the entire top section where the 510 connection is popped off and broke a wire. Not trying to be a debbie downer, but IMO if you are considering buying this read as many reviews as possible.

 

[Btsmokincat]

DERN IT! I can't find where I've seen the info about this mod I mentioned above. I look at to much stuff. I swear it was the exact same device right down to me wondering what the little hole was in the top and then realizing it was an attachment point for the lanyard. The guy even posted a pic of the top broken off. I think the defender was under a different name when I saw it. Looking at the Heatvape website they are selling a (clone?) Dovpo E-mech under the name Heatvape Invader!

Check out Vapor Trail on Y Tube, Tony has a mini review on it.

Very interesting device. Glad to have competition to the Istick. The competition will only help us as buyers. Who ever though a year ago we could buy a nice 20 watt unit for $35.
