I'm using evods, but I have 2 Pyrex clearos on the way.
I got my iTaste vv3 last week, discovered I *hated* those top-coil iClear16's that came with it, and Friday got a Kanger T3S -- with that clearo, this iTaste is FANTASTIC!! I started out just a few weeks ago with an eRoll, which was perfect for me to begin, because the familiar size-shape was *just right* -- and I managed to go from 13-15 cigs a day down to 2, then 1, and this past Friday, ZERO, using the eRoll -- but now, compared to this iTaste, that eRoll tastes pretty anemic. I'm not sure I could have done it without it, though, I was so attached to the way a cigarette felt in my hand.

Wow, I had basically the same experience, and it almost turned me off to the whole thing. I started with the iTaste vv 3 with iClears16s. I found it VERY hot and burning, no matter how carefully I vaped, or lowered the voltage. I'm glad I stuck with it. I got an Aspire bottom coil, a Kanger Evod, and a Kanger T3S (all bottom coils). All three of them are much cooler and now I can at least use it.
And yep, it's a lot cooler, though I have the iTaste currently set a 8.5w, and the Virginia tastes just fine, and delivers a terrific throat hit at that setting.
