Very effective and enjoyable review! Thank you!

I especially like how you handle the glitch: mentioning it (and suggesting what to do about it)*, but not being an alarmist. This is a serious error on innokin's part (and suppliers should notify their customers about it), but I do not regard it as a deal-breaker for us vapers.

* Also, I suggest that the atomizer be removed when charging the battery.​

Your review is actually what got me to buy mine. I switched from a basic 510 starter kit + PCC setup to this in the hopes of an all day grab-n-go device. It serves that function well for me. I've been going through liquid more rapidly as well, and I mirror all the same little grievances you mentioned in your video, although none of them are a deal-breaker because it ultimately works pretty well. Not sure if it's the last E-Cig I'm going to buy, just cause I feel like I like the feel of a cartomizer mated to a 5v power source better than a tank, but if this is the best compact tank on the market right now, I'm happy I went with the LEA over any of the other options.

Awesome Bauzen, I'm glad I could help! I started using Fluxomizer XL clearomizers on my eGo battery (they don't work on my Lea one... grrr!) and so far those are blowing me away, but I am still using my Lea when I'm out and about. It's definitely the most portable-friendly PV I've seen.

Just about any Boge cartomizer will work on the LEA. They also have 4ML cartos. Problem is, if you don't have the stock atomizer bolted on the LEA, the cap wont clip back on, it's part of what snaps the cap to the closed position.

Could you possibly snap a picture of the current setup you mentioned you're using?

Sure... here it is:

This is my 900mAh eGo battery with the fluxomizer. I'm missing the little mouth tip but I should be getting one in a day or two (the drip tip I ordered with them didn't fit.) I'll probably be doing a video review in a couple of days, I think these things rock!

Since starting to use a tank, I've gotten used to vaping that tastes so much "cleaner" than when I use a cart or carto with filler, that I can't go back. And I'm afraid I'm just too lazy to drip!

Thanks for the pic.

That thing looks crazy!

I actually cleaned my LEA atty and fell instantly in love with it again. It's really producing good flavor again. I guess I learned an important lesson not to mix fluids in it, just to stick to my daily, as the wicking system let's flavors linger more than other atty's I've used.

As for cartos vs tanks, I agree the flavor is cleaner in a tank, but the density of the smoke seems to shine at higher voltages in cartos, and so I guess I'm looking for a balance between the two. Perhaps I was destined to own 2 pen-style devices, one of each depending on my mood.

do you know if they make low resistance attys for it? i have some ego t's i use now, and since i got the LR attys for them i enjoy them much more.

I don't think they have LR atties yet. Since it's a fairly new system I would bet they are waiting to see how it sells before adding to the component selection.

Thanks for watching! :)

Yes, it's pretty funky looking... although all my friends find it fascinating. The vapor production on this is really dense! And it's warm vapor... my first experience with that. It's been interesting to see how it effects the flavors. I tried Ares ecig Kevin-Up juice on it (a lemon-lime soda flavor) and although it was great on my Lea, it was just too weird to vape it warm.
