I bought two more iTaste V3s (pearl white & plain black) to replace my old and dying V3s (silver & chameleon). They were on sale domestically for about $17 a pop, which is less than what they are available for from China right now. I don't need the longer length and feature list of the V4 - which I still feel is way too pricey for what the device is overall. I have and like an istick 30W as well, but find I still use my V3s very frequently, so I bit the bullet and got some more. I'll probably get another chameleon one as well. The plastic finish V3s seem to provide a better grip than the metal finished ones - which I find to be just a bit to slick and slippery for my tastes. I don't plan on getting another istick 30W - though I like that its overall length is less than the V3 or V4, and its much higher charge capacity is nice too, but for everyday use it is just a bit too bulky for me. A shorter but fatter equivalent of the iTaste V3 would be nice, but the sub-ohm craze may keep a device like that at bay indefinitely.
I tried the RTA and sub-ohm thing. It just wasn't for me. I'm cool with a decent eGo clearomizer topper. So far I keep coming back to the 2.1 ohm iClear 16 as my preferred clearomizer after trying just about everything currently out there. Heck, even the old T2 isn't bad, and the older Aspire BDC clearomizers are alright too - when the replacement heads are working right. I've spent way too much as it is in experimenting with new equipment, and now I just want to pleasantly vape what works for me without disappointment. Even an old 650mah eGo battery works fine for me (though I do prefer a variable voltage/wattage device). I always have several 650mah eGo batteries on me as easily portable backups. They work just fine, and the size is hard to beat just for running a fairly standard clearomizer on. I don't find the oversized, complicated, high power and high heat stuff enjoyable to run at all, though I can certainly see and understand the attraction to at least some of that gear. We could use the equivalent of a better V3, not a longer and more powerful V4, V5, etc. Am I strange in thinking this way?

Paid $17.95 for my first Kick; $12.95 for my second... and $8 each for the 3 new ones!
