I just received mine in the mail today. I must say, so far I am VERY impressed! Now in all fairness, this is my first mod. I am coming from about a year and a half of using nothing but the normal 510 batteries and crappy atomizers. So I realize my opinion is very limited in scope. I can say that the vapor output is MUCH more than what your simple 510 battery and atomizer puts out, that's for sure! Plus now I can really taste my juice. I thought it had a good flavor before, but wow, what a difference!
As far as size goes, I was pleasantly surprised with the 134 mini. I though it would be a bit bigger than it actually is. I mean, it's large, but not to the point where I wouldn't take it out with me. The unit itself fits nicely in my smaller hands, with only the clearomizer showing above my grip. I'd compare the outer diameter to a normal "C" sized battery. I was expecting something more in line with say a "D" sized battery. So again, I was pleasantly surprised!
Overall I am very happy thus far. I'll follow up with this post in a week or so, once I've had a bit more time to really test this thing out...
It's been just over 3 weeks since I received my itaste 134 mini in the mail. I figured I would wait a bit longer than just a week before giving my thoughts of the unit. Here they are:
I'll start by saying that I am overall happy with the 134 mini thus far. There are some things that I feel could be a bit more refined, but overall I feel that it is a decent product. My only real complaint would be with the power button. The button just feels a bit cheap and not as solid as the rest of the unit. I also find that it is very easy to accidently shut it off. Obviously it's not that hard to turn it back on, but it can be a bit of a PITA at times. Other than the power button, everything else seems to be pretty solid and well built.
I've been using mine with 18500 batteries and get about 12-14 hours of heavy vaping time per charge. The clearomizer that came with the unit works well, but I have used mine almost exclusively with an iclear 30s. I've just found that I like the hit of a top coil better then the bottom ones. Just my own personal preference though.
As for the size of the 134 mini, I knew it was going to be large when I purchased it. With that said, I have found that it's size isn't really much of an issue for me. I can slip it comfortably into my pocket, although it is noticeable, it doesn't get in my way. At first I did get some comments from my friends who like to bust my chops, because of it's size. Or the occasional, "is that a light saber in you pocket" But whatever, I'm not the one who's spending $10 a pack to slowly kill myself, Make fun of it all you want!
Now if I'm being honest with you, and myself, it's probably not worth the $120+ price tag, IMO. But I do realize that it is a new product and it also has that "coolness factor" (at least IMO) to it. I wasn't so much as worried about price as I was to get something that I liked and that worked well. I does work well, even with what I feel is a cheap power button, it has never failed to work, not once!
I guess what it all comes down to is this. If you don't mind paying a little extra for it's uniqueness than yeah, I would recommend going for it. It's a solid unit that works great! If your someone who is on a budget or just wants something that works good, but with out all the bells and whistles, I am sure you can find something much cheaper that will work just as well.
