I've had my VTR (which is a box mod) for almost a year now and would highly recommend it. The VTR comes in stainless steel or jungle camo green. The Cool Fire 2 is the one that looks like a grenade. I personally find the grenade form factor ridiculous and would never consider buying one.

The VTR is solid and takes an 18650 battery as opposed to the coolfire2's 18350 which would mean battery replacement more often with the latter. While the coolfire2 fits in the hand comfortably it is truly more of a novelty item. Also the VTR fits nicely in a pocket (though heavy) when you're out and about assuming you're not using a 5 ml tank which requires the use of the included adapter.

Never mind. You are probably talking about changing power, not connecting the atty. if so...carry on!

It is still a valid point. Yes there is a rotational wheel for adjusting power level, but the first VTR's out the gate - unofficially called version 1 - also had a rotating wheel at the base where you screw in the atty. This would rotate your atty, which really isn't necessary for positioning most drip tips, and definitely not needed if you are using the iClear 30 S that comes with it - as the drip tip itself rotates (I really like to 30 S too btw, it is very efficient at keeping the coils in contact with juice so you almost never get "dry hits").

Anyway, the bottom rotating wheel made the connection threading wear out fairly quickly. So you should ask if the stock you are considering purchasing on-line, particularly if it is at a discounted price, is the version 1 or 2. I bought mine the moment they became available in Canada so mine was a version 1. Innokin replaced it free of charge, however, I had to pay to ship it to Wilmington North Carolina and went into "VTR withdrawal" for the weeks it took get there (via ground courier ~ $25), the VTR in it's little "road case" weighs about 2 lbs) and get sent back to me.

Love my VTR with simple Pro Tank II's. I have a Reo Grand LP bottom dripper that I use most of the time but the VTR just feels so solid and good in the hand. It looks a bit ridiculous with the tall adaptor with a big Magma dripper on top for home use but it functions fine. For me it is made for my slim clearomizers that fit nice and compact in the ring. If I was younger I might think the Cool Fire was hip. The VTR is just a bit more classy.
