hadn't seen that one!

Yeah... it was on the first page after your first comment on the spring loaded pin, then after someone asked you about it :- ) I miss a few myself like that lol...

I watched a few other videos and thought that the best. I was a bit surprised that Phil hadn't got the message on the batt wrap, I'm sure he's does now - probably by quite a few people lol.

Thank you, Sir Kent. Perhaps I will have to open Heaven's gift then. The 36w and the 25w are/were the same price.


The technical name is "peacock" finish. (Let me know, too -- I :wub: mine and wouldn't mind a spare, especially if it's the pre-36 watt version)

Also, Ms. tea, you can get the black waves "pre-36" watt at Vaping, Electronic cigarettes, vape shops, vaping supplies for a bit more dollars.

I wish Phil would hurry up with his review the Cool Fire 4. One thing I like about his reviews is they are consistant. It makes things easy to compare with each other. And the fact he finds ways to throw in some humor. I can skip to the last 5 - 10 minutes and get a decent summary when I need to cut it short.

I wonder if another sign that I'm addicted to vaping might be the fact that I'm watching tons more You Tube videos than regular tv anymore?

Thanks Katya!

Oh, Kaaaaaaaaat.... [emoji3]

Seriously now, he had two gripes--the power button placement and the size of the screen (too small, both the screen and the font). Phil never liked Innokin's buttons. :D He also complained bitterly that the MVP's button was hard to operate. I guess it's a matter of personal preference--he doesn't like to use his thumb knuckle to press the button; I use my knuckle all the time with all my batteries (iSticks, Defender) and find it very comfortable. Well, not with my ProVari, come to think of it--the ProVari gets the tip of my thumb. IIRC. :facepalm:

Reader's Digest version, anyone?

Holy cow. Brilliant clear irridenscent red. Same with the blue. Here goes my notes."

"Same freakishly long battery life as the isticks" A day and a half with a kayfun. Mechanical on/off switch. Similar in size to Subox (Kbox mini) SS 510 threading, spring loaded pin. "Stellar build quality". Screen bright and easy to see in the daytime. Locks with 3 clicks. Awkward click and hold menu adjustment. Puff counter and 15 second cut off. Step down is PWM. RMS. Very accurate reading volts/watts. "Amazing build quality" Fired down to 0.2 ohms. "Boy I wish the fire button was on the curved part" rather than the side. Then went into the isub tanks.

I refuse to watch him. I just don't want to waste that much of my attention span, Seriously, if I want to be entertained I'll watch a comedian, I just want to hear a review. That is why I watch a reviewer.

The colors are really, really nice. I brought mine down to the vape shop and before I left they were ordering some from their vendor. Battery life? Seems about right for the rating but I can easily kill it in a day with a dripper and a 1.1 ohm coil. Very spring loaded pin. Screen could be bigger but it is easy to see even in bright light (if I have my glasses on). I like the Off/On on the bottom of the device, not sure why but I do. Menu adjust is no big deal but I don't like the flip screen feature. When I am trying to read battery voltage, I have to squint and look hard and if I take to long it throws the screen upside down in to left hand mode. The classic smooth delivery of power that I have come to expect from Innokin. Classic over built and solid feel that I have come to expect from innokin but it cold be lighter. I personally think the fire button is exactly where it belongs.

I think the thing I like best about the device is the way it feels in my hand. The round end fits the curve on my hand like a tube mod but the fire button is out more like a box mod. It has not left my hand very much in the last few days. I am running it with an old I-go L for a nice compact little rig.

Thanks, Cap'n.

I don't share Phil's "button-placement OCD" at all. In fact, I use the SX Mini and the IPV Mini interchangeably, and couldn't even tell you where the dang buttons are. As long as I can push it, I'm fine.

Speaking of which, I'm very curious how it stacks up size wise with either of the two "Mini" devices I mentioned. If it's smaller, I've got reason to jump. If not though, I have to think about it a little more. Does anyone have both (CF4 and either Mini)?

I like the on/off buttons too. I've only got two mods that have them, but I also find them to be quite useful, especially the way that I use mods.

I'm still thinking we should do it (@Katdarling), but I'd like to know your opinion, since you said absolutely nothing (literally) after watching PB's vid. :laugh:

Thank you all for your input. I have now watched enough of the video to say that I am firmly undecided.

Maybe I will just wait to see how that XVO thingie is working out, since it's the only thing that's truly making my heart race these days. Decisions, decisions...
