Uh oh! Hope that's not the case for me - I ordered the 2.0. However, I wouldn't think it's a hard thing to get a bottle replacement?
Yeah, you'll be set for a good long while with your VMOD! The UFS is awesome, but alas, 'tis quite complicated indeed...
For me, VW never really had much of an appeal (at least trumping my ProVari). I only use two separate ohm ratings, while one barely gets used (1.5 ohm), or I will spend an entire day with one type of ohm. A VW, while always keeping the wattage consistent, doesn't necessarily mean that any JDS will taste the same because some JDSs will not taste good at certain temps, so that would mean adjusting, which is the same adjusting that a VV would entail. Now if you're someone who has a ton of JDSs with varying ohms ratings, and in turn, use them frequently, then maybe it would be nice. If you are someone who, like me, likes no more than two attys, or more specifically, two types of ohm ratings, then it is not going to provide you with a more consistent vape than a high-end (not like a lavatube) VV.
I am not comparing any one VW and VV device per se, just the effect of VW as opposed to VV. Also, once again, I am only talking high-end VV. One plus (actually, a HUGE plus!) with the Darwin dna or The Kick, is that you can upgrade many big batt devices to act as a Darwin (though with less range in watts).

I don't have a VMOD, but I do have a beard. I just wanted to participate.
Thank God, I don't have a beard! lol
Definitely get some extra bottles for the 2.0 - just saw another poster at the end of this thread report similar issues. I'm practicing Tez's "non-squonk" method to prevent the bottle from cracking. As long as other vendors (like Ahlusion hopefully!) carry spare bottles, we should be fine with this otherwise amazing device (with the added bonus of real customer service)!
That is one sweet UFS, my friend! I heard that Cisco is making an atomizer tank which I will be all over.
VW doesn't hold any appeal to me either. If I just vaped one juice maybe, but I vape a lot of different flavors, so I don't really see the point in VW over VV. I'd be changing the watts all the time just like I change volts now.
I'm envious of the bearded. I spent 6 years in the Air Force and (even though I've been out since 2004) still can't go more than a couple days without shaving. It starts to drive me crazy and I have to find a razor. Some programming sticks. 
I actually have to chime in here and say that once I went VW I can't go back to VV. In fact I even sold my ProVari a couple of weeks ago! Maybe it's because I mostly use Vivi Novas due to their ease and the fact that I don't detect the muted flavor with them that others have mentioned, but not only is resistance not always exactly what it says on the head, all coils change resistance over time with use. So now even though I might have to change the wattage setting when I change juices, I never have to check resistances or wonder why my juice isn't tasting right as the head gets older.
Yeah, another reason I like VW is that with rebuildables, it's tough to be consistent with the ohm ratings of the coils you're wrapping, but VW will nail it every time. Plus, I'm a fan of mechanical mods from an engineering, trouble-shooting, and maintenance standpoint, and the Kick really takes these devices to another level.
Rebuildables . . . pfffffft. 
Tez, I don't even know how to drive a stick/manual transmission.
Household maintenance is limited to changing (non-fluorescent) light bulbs.
Does that tell you anything?

I think it's all about what you put on it. My atties never read any differently from my ProVari meter to a meter. However, the few times I tried to work with Ce(#)s,ViVis, Genesi and RBAs, I was adjusting that the ProVari like mad

In this scenario, VW is KING (or better yet, the Kick or Darwin DNA is KING)! The Darwin has a ton of great features, but aesthetics it does not. But, to be able to transform mech mods into a Darwin brain, but with a beautiful body, that is sweet!

That is the whole point of VW set it and forget it.
Haha, you are most certainly not wrong, but it does grow on you...
Bingo for me! That is the conclusion I came to also. I got off cheap with the Ego's and twists,and never dealt in the 'tween. From what I gather reading so many posts, I think I've saved a bundle. Once I knew my likes and dislikes and decided I was going to spend some real money on equipment, I decided that my top criteria was quality and beauty. I've ordered a couple Caravela's, and I'm going to throw a kick in them.
Lets me change up between any atty I want to use, and any RBA coil on the single RBA I'll run with todays daily vape no matter the coil I've built, with ease. I like cool vapes, and always end up around 6-6.5 watts once I calc the numbers on the VV twist, so easy peasy, dial in 6.25 watts on the kicks, pop them in once and forget em. Screw on whatever I've got or built. I like the idea of no outside controls, lights, etc. and everything being handled invisibly, and internally.
I can certainly appreciate the attributes of all of the various other mods out there, but this was the solution that I think will work best for my style of vaping.

I'm right there with you. Every time I make a coil, I'm like "Eli Whitney doesn't have anything on me! Alexander Graham who?!"
My new toy. The column shift was a little before my time so it's taking some getting used to. I'm pretty mechanically challenged but I figure that this will be easier to learn repairs since there are no computers running the car.
