New iTaste VTR (not released)

[Shel]

Here's a German Review of the Vision Aurora BFT with some good visuals.

Can someone explain to me the advantage of a bottom feeder?

Seems to me, a tank that is top fed will constantly be sending juice to the atty, while with a bottom feeder, I imagine you need to constantly squeeze the bottle, or somehow send the juice to the atty... it also seems much larger then, say, an iClear 16, or evod tank....

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious....

I am thinking that the reference of "bottom feeder" is actually referring to a bottom coil clearomizer.

The main advantage of a bottom feeder is (in my opinion) convenience. You can benefit from the better flavor one gets when using a dripping atty without having to actually drip. All you need to do is give the bottle a squeeze now and again (a technique known as “squonking”) and you get dripping performance without dripping hassle. The flavor from a dripping atty is often better (and sometimes hugely better) than a clearomizer setup such as an iClear or an evod.

It also offers a pocket-friendly design. My usual out and about mod is a Reo mini. I get the longevity of a tank setup but, since the "tank" (which is actually a bottle) is housed within the mod, there’s no danger of breakage or leakage.

Sorry if I am missing the point here, but I am new and trying to understand "squonking" with the Reo. So the bottle in inside the Reo mod. Do you have to open a door to the Reo to get to the bottle to "squonk" it? It seems even more inconvenient than dripping, or am I wrong and misunderstood you. I have never seen a bottom feeder in person and my local B&M does not carry them so I can't see one in action. Thanks.

I passed up getting in on a sale of the itaste vv v3 waiting for this VTR to be released. Any hint of a release date yet? What delivery device besides the I16 is going to work with it? A mini protank? An evod? Or are you going to have to use Innokin's clearos?

Hi Shari

No you don't have to open a bottom feeder's door to access the bottle. There is a cut out area of the outer body that allows you to push/squeeze/squonk it easily. It's actually a very convenient way to feed.

 

[ShariR]

It sounds like the best of both worlds. The dripping I love and the convenience to take with me. Oh boy. I will have to start saving. DH will not go for spending that much on a device. How you been Katdarling? I have to get over to your thread and say hi. Spend lots of time in my Still Smoking thread. Pretty sure I have you bookmarked.

Bottom feeders are great devices to try to see if you like vaping in that way. There are others besides the Reo. The Vapage VMOD is by far less expensive and perhaps one you might like. Bogger makes gorgeous wooden bottom feeders. And there are others. There's a thread here on ECF all about BFs!

I'm very well hon, thank you! Please stop by the thread (everyone is welcome!) and visit. If you can't locate your bookmark, it's http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...nitelitevapor-liquids-they-pvliquids-com.html

Wow, squonking and how bottom feeds work. Does help to distract me as I wait for the release of the VTR I want.

The aurora is fascinating -- one of those "why didn't I think of that" ideas. Likely deserves its own thread right along with squonking and how bottom feeds work ....

 

[KalebK]

Any news on a release date?? I have checked ukecigstore.com daily and no mention of the VTR on there for preorder...

 

[ShariR]

We are all haunting this thread and waiting.

 

[loggerhead]

I just noticed an updated photo on their website. Still no release or $ info..

​

 

[hazozita]

They keep tempting us with pictures but no real info. Torture! Hopefully, new pics mean a rollout is coming soon'ish.

I did see the new iClear 30 on their FB page. Might be interesting - a bottom coil setup rather than the current top coil. But, as usual, no real details.

 

[loggerhead]

Any Similarities ?​

You mean Kato's Popular III aka Square.
At this rate, what about the Zenesis SideWinder ?

Hope the availability and the price of the VTR won't match any of them...

 

[Crocky]

Yes Katos is nice but almost impossible to get or I at least could not find where he was selling them with any availability. His is also not regulated I don't think. Not really a big deal to me but for some it may be. Super nice looking though

I like the side winder and often thought how big of a tank it would hold. I am not a genesis atty person so not so sure how well it would work with tanks. I like the form factor though for sure.

Just wanna chime in and mention, with the Zenisis 2 line of products, you can get the Sidewinder with a 510 connection, and run whatever you like on it. ElectronicStix.Com · Zenesis Sidewinder 510

They also make it in a Carto Tank version. Im waiting for ElectronicStixs to get the Carto Tank hybrids back in stock, I want an 18650 Zenisis Carto Hybrid real bad

18350 batteries just kills it for me.
