I dunno...yes, one would stand out in a crowd, but that is still a lot of dinero for a feature-limited mod. It should be priced well below the SVD based on functionality. I thought that innokin learned something from the silly magnetic connector that came out on the original iTaste vv. Cooling tubes on a mod? May as well have put chromed tail fins on it.

Give it some time and fasttech will have them for half that price :D

The MSRP is still being determined.

Sure, but mechanically the iTaste 134 is more complex. It simply costs more to make.

They're not meant as cooling tubes, but they assist in heat dissipation. As I mentioned before, the design is based on the M134 machine gun.

Well, if I ever want a toy M134 mini gun (It is not called a machine gun) I know where to go...I have fired the M134 mini gun...quite a bit more fun btw, that is a hard-hitting device. Just me I guess, but I would find little "masculinity" in vaping on a toy gun, but that's why they have variety, some might. ("Look mom, that man is vaping on a make-believe gun!...Can I have one?") Verrry masculine! ;)

Were this designed as a rugged mechanical mod, it would make more sense. I suspect that the lack of an option screen is a concession to form over function. One watt power increments and nothing else are stunning limitations for a modern microprocessor controlled tube mod.

With no led screen, some non-functional rods should add little in terms of manufacturing cost per unit versus the SVD, a much more practical tube mod for vaping.

This looks like the Edsel of tube mods. Not great to hold, not practical as a variable power vaping device.

Sounds like fun! What was the recoil like?

I think you're suspicion is correct.

I agree. Like I mentioned in the preview, that's a potential deal-breaker for some, but not all, vapers.

I disagree, but of course have the advantage of having one in my hands for a few days. I love the SVD and own two of them, but it's a simple device to assemble compared to the 134. The 134 requires more labor time; the 16 outer rods are held in place by 16 screws.

Not all that much recoil, fired it on a tripod.

Of course there is some added cost/labor with the rods...but certainly not more than a couple of bucks total.

The markings on the fire button make it look like one of those 5-way switches (U, D, L, R, Fire), which it obviously isn't. I wonder if this is just a misuse of a common interface design element, or possibly a precursor to future functions? At this price point, the feature set is too restrictive for a serious "working" mod, but there is a market for pure aesthetics and the fans have deep pockets, so ... lock and load, apparently! :laugh:
