Finally both the VTR and 180S arrived yesterday. Overall I would just view the Itaste VTR with it's 6volt 15 watt ability as simply a way to push any 1.5 coil to maximum efficiency and cloud production. A true 1.0 coil could be the only thing better. A new VTR owner I'm betting will do what I did , you really have to keep twisting the case around to find out how you want to hold the unit and have the firing button feel comfortable without the feeling this lump of lead is about to pop out of your hand. Until my 1.5 I-30s clearo coils arrive I'm reserving judgement about the VTR included clearo .. so far I don't like it in the least and feel at 2.5 ohms it's more about taste than cloud ... since I lost all sense of taste 15 years ago I'm more into the nice tactile vision enjoyment of cloud which the 180 S should provide .... Basic smok 2 ml clearos with smok's basic stick like coils at 1.5 ohms beat the I30-s every time but in fairness the VTR included clearo is a 2.5 ohm with a slightly claustrophobic draw .... Careful if trying to observe the i30s wicks as removing the white rubber cap will draw with it shards of stringy wick .... contrary to how photos make the clearo wicks look thick and uniform conceiled inside the hole punched out 'shell' ,this is not the case and pulling out the rubber holding gasket will give you a fuzzy mess as if you had diassected an artichoke heart. As to the God 180S, I'm awaiting 3 strong IMR's and a Heracles .02 and .06 coil clearo to arrive ... if purchasing a God, I think remembering that 3 good quality 35 amp 18650's is about $30 and the need to have at least 6 or 9 paired batteries is important ... about $90 bucks more I hadn't considered .... Think I'll stand out on the corner and sell tiny little cello wrapped roses ....
If seriously thinking about an Itaste VTR with it's I30-s included clearo , It's best to consider that overall what you'll have is a handy digital face that I feel is truly accurate when compared to my other meter, a good battery level indicater, and operational results meaning taste and cloud, equal to any 1.5 ohm clearo perched on a twister 2200 pen style battery on steroids ...one that was one of the accidentally over 'tweaked ones' made at the factory. I'd recommend forgetting about the long adapter unless every clearo you want to use is really big in girth and order a small 510 to ego adapter to just screw into the bottom well of the VTR. I'd recommend ordering the smaller 1.5 ohm I30-s coils but that is just my own preference.
