New iTaste VTR (not released)

[tearose50]

The NCR18650B's are not lMR batteries, but another chemistry. The store is saying that the NCR18650B's are not compatible.....and that may be just their opinion. (There are other non-branded lMR's from some suppliers, too).

Some say the NCR18650B's are appropriate for a vv/vw mod and more say the NCR18650PD's are. Just about everyone agrees that the CGR18650CH's are very appropriate.

the mAh is not the only thing one should look at when choosing batteries. For example, many protected IC's have much higher mAh, but are now powerful enough to run a single battery vv/vw device. The hot discussion about batteries recently is about the Amp Limit --- but a higher amp limit (over 10) may not be needed for many of the vv/vw devices sold. For example, the AW 2000 mAh 18650 and the CGR18650CH's have a 10 amp limit. Yes, it gets quite confusing.

Here's a blog which might help a bit: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/4848-9-battery-basics-mods-imr-protected.html

It's a regulated device. Battery won't matter too much. All should last a day unless your a heavy vaper,, then carry a spare.

Where did you / can you pre order them from?

Vaporbeast has the leather carry pouches available for $16 shipped. I picked one up -- figured I'll be getting a VTR eventually, and can use it in the meantime for other mods.

I thought the VTR came with one included (?)

Everything I've seen does not show the VTR coming with a pouch. An iClear30S? Yep. Pouch? Nope.

 

[Busted knuckles]

Does anyone else think its kinda big? What's this new trend with inokin? their new mods are getting bigger, not smaller. I understand the size of the MVP, with the on board battery and such but this new one takes a regular 18650, I would have thought it could be smaller.
I hope no one get upset by this question but I feel I have to point out: the emperor has no clothes on!
But it does kind of look cool, like it's from the 90s!

The UK vendor says 'flight case' (which is that exact leather case):
Innokin iTaste VTR Exclusive Pre Order

 

[peraspera]

Where did you / can you pre order them from?

Known reliable vendors that have the VTR for pre-order:
iTaste VTR (China)
Innokin iTaste VTR Exclusive Pre Order (UK)

Vendor that no one seems to know anything about:
Innokin iTaste VTR Kit Pre Order (US - price is $99 after coupon VTR20)

 

[hazozita]

The "flight case" is the hard plastic suitcase that it comes in. It's not the leather case.

 

[BarryNorton]

Oh, you're joking?

No, this is the flight case:

 

[armadillo]

Nope, same case as the iTaste 134. Stupid move by Innokin.

 

[BarryNorton]

Ah, that makes sense - but the videos has still put me on the wrong track - I really thought you got the leather case.

So it's only operational when you pay for a battery, which needs a charger, and then you have to add a case. Compared to the MVP this thing is not cheap

 

[spartanstew]

I cannot imagine using one of those holsters.

I stopped using a cell phone holster 10 years ago, because they looked so dorky. The VTR holster takes that up a notch.

 

[BarryNorton]

Does anywhere quote the dimensions of that 'flight case'?

You don't have to add a case.

 

[BarryNorton]

Sorry, that was badly worded - I meant 'I'd have to'. The first shock (out of my naivete - thinking of it as an MVP upgrade) was having to add a battery and a charger, then I'd persuaded myself it came with the leather case. That, together with the long and speculative discussion about what batteries are appropriate (it still not being clear that you can get better single battery life than the MVP) mean I'm happy to watch other people's unboxings and experience and get one nearer Christmas.
