New iTaste VTR (not released)

[Crocky]

The display does read the resistance of the topper

 

[armadillo]

It does? I must have missed that. In all the videos they just show the voltage and wattage settings. I did not see resistance nor did I see actual battery voltage.

I don't understand why they didn't make it out of Stainless Steel.

This is from the innokin site.

Variable Voltage: 3.0 – 6.0 volts
Variable Wattage: 3.0 – 15.0 W
Short Circuit Protection;
RMS (root mean square);
Reverse Battery Protection Circuit;
Resistive Load Detection (Ohms meter);
ON/OFF battery switch;
LED Battery Power Display;
Low Voltage Warning;
Overtime vaping Warning (10 second switch cutoff);
Battery safety protection (Vent holes);
High compatibility 510/eGo connector:
Built-in 3 digit display (Ohms meter, Volts /Watts, Atomizer voltage output)

So somebody figure out how to display the Ohms. I don't think any of the first videos actually demonstrated that (gotta look at them again)

No battery voltage I don't think, but it does read ohms. Check out Todd's review on a page or two back

When you tap the top button, it first displays the resistance of the atty and then displays the Wattage or Voltage that it's set to. There's no ability to check battery voltage. Not that critical on that aspect as the Innokin devices tend to shut down when the battery reaches 3.2 volts.

For me battery voltage is the most important info. It tells me if I have pack a reserve battery if I'm out and about.

I agree that the lack of battery voltage measurement is a strange oversight since it's available on several other Innokin products. But, the VTR does provide a battery measurement level by displaying a green/yellow/red light that gives you reasonable insight into battery life. I tend to only use the color indicator on my SVD to keep tabs on charge remaining and hardly ever use the voltage measurement it also offers.

What's giving me pause about ordering one is the weight. Didn't think it would be as heavy as it is.

Doesn't the unit have the same type of colored light indicator (green, amber, red) as the MVP?
That's all I need. 18650s last me all day anyways.

edit: beat me to it

You must be really disappointed in the majority of devices on the market, whether it be mass produced or not. The Nivel and DNA20 don't even offer an actual battery voltage meter...

 

[armadillo]

Indeed, I am. It's such a nice feature (Zmax and eVics have that). I know exactly how much I have left in vaping time.

Every table in my G-Moms house had one of these

People pay big bucks for those sets now around here....

 

[bourzia]

man, I ALWAYS take an extra battery...

 

[ddboy]

Has anyone seen the camo green version on sale yet?

 

[Dconnor]

Jwraps has carbon fiber wraps up for these on their website.

Not a meter per se, but both chips do give an indication of battery remaining.
In the DNA-20 there's a battery icon on the left side of this display that indicates how much of the battery has been drained.
On the Nivel, there's a six-segment indicator that looks like [ ] when full. A leg of the left segment, then the right (three each), disappears as the battery is drained.

Back on-topic, Mark's review pretty much put the last nail in the Innokin VTR coffin for me.

The weight is because it's made of brass. Like the missing center-pin issue on one order, all I can do is boggle on Innokin's choice of materials
and apparent lack of Quality Assurance.

To each their own, of course, but this traveler has left the Innokin bus.

I have both nivel and dna20 devices, so i underatand. He was referring to an actual "numerical" meter...I don't really see why that's a necessity at this point, but just my opinion...

Well, the LED indicator simply tells you when you are at 3.6V. That's it (essentially as if your car had an LED that simply told you that you have 30 miles left before you're dry). I don't care whether it's numeric (a phone battery-style indicator would be fine), but something more graded would be nice. What I don't get is that Innokin's other mods actually give that numeric info (VV, MVP, etc.). I'm sure this will show up in v2.
