Okay...been nosing around. Anyone got any comments on the innokin iTaste MVP 20W? Remember...I am not interested in TC and do not do high wattage. Looks like I can maybe get an okay price on it, and I know innokin boxes used to have a really good reputation. I also like the passthrough capabilities. Can anyone who knows about this one give me any feedback...your impressions? Is it durable? Any quirks? I know it's "last year's model" (or appears to be) but I don't care so long as it's something I can use and count on. TIA!

I have 2 of them for about 10 months now and they are as problem free as you can get.

I'm hard on my stuff and never had a problem. Super durable. Use pass thru a lot as well.

Highly recommended.

Eric

The 'Burgh, PA.
the VTC mini has the spring loaded center pin, TC for Ni and Ti, I like the display - they feel about the same weight - nearly the same size/dimensions.

And...the VTC Mini has upgradeable firmware...

I'm looking for a durable mod for low wattage. 1.8 ohm coils not going to go over 20watts. I don't like the isticks there cheap Imo.
I prefer an internal battery.

Have you checked out the WISMEC Presa 40W? Only slightly larger than the iStick...

WISMEC Presa 40W 2600mAh OLED Mod | VapoRider



Maybe there's something out there I am not familiar with. Need something under $35 if at all possible.

I LOVE my iSticks!

How about an iStick for $24.49. 1W-60W, TC, spring-loaded 510, SS threads and replaceable 18650...

Okay ...now this sounds interesting, and fits what I am looking for (for the most part). Got to go see if I can find any reviews..... The darn think looks pretty cool!

I can't say anything about the Presa because I don't own one.

But I do have one of these....

Does anyone here know anything about an outfit called Gearbest? I found that WISMEC Presa thing there for a really good price, but have never heard of these guys. Are they in China or something? Anyone dealt with them before?

Gearbest is another Fasttech.

Some have had Good Luck with them. Some say that Gearbest shipping makes Fasttech look Speedy.

If it was me, I would spend a Few Extra Bucks and get it State Side.

It's a bit on the high side...more than the VaporRider one and Gearbest. About average from the few vendors I've seen who carry them (but don't seem to have in stock atm). Another option, however...thanks!

I like to save Money where I can. It gives me the Ability to Buy MORE Stuff. LOL

But here is what is Frustrating about buying from someone like Fasttech....

USPS.com® - USPS Tracking®

Sure... I did save 10 Bucks by getting what I did. But that $10 will probably go towards a New Keyboard because I have Bashed Mine a Few Times waiting for this Tracking to do Something. Anything.

I checked out a review or two and am somewhat attracted. I thought I wanted a built in battery because I like using the PT feature on the iSticks (I am almost always near a USB port). Still, from what I see...maybe this is a possibility? Can you tell me the lowest wattage it will go? Lowest volts? I use the GS Air M mostly...assume that isn't a problem? I do not do high wattage (I'm a Tootle Puffer)
5 watts is the lowest. It does show volts, but goes by watts. I rarely go over 20W myself, but this is cheap and simple. I don't know the GS air, but the Goblin mini is 22mm. There is a PT but I never use that with replaceable batteries.

I have 2 presa's . They are nice. No problems after several months...........

Tell Us More.

Do you have the one with TC. If so, do you Like it? And how would you Compare it to Other TC Mods?

How is the Finish on the Presa? Does it look like it will be Durable?
