I received my chameleon iTaste VV V3 last week, and was so impressed, I ordered the Pearl Silver one. They are great for traveling an taking to work. I have an eVic for home, but wanted something for taking to work and travel. My only complaint, it that the buttons rattle... :2cool:

Pretty much a mirror of my setup. I use my eVic at home and take my chameleon VV V3 everywhere else I go. I don't care about the button rattle, though, it doesn't bother me. :)

So, now that you all have had time to play with it for some time, is it worth it over a spinner or twist? If you have used a spinner or twist, what does this do better?

Thanks for your input...

Much better over my Joye C-Twists. Once you have the vapor and taste you like after setting the wattage it will continually give you the same vapor with different ohm clearos.

Tagleda, I have a tapered cone that works fine, and a straight one that is just a tad too long, and doesn't allow connection...

Comparing the VV3 to a Spinner...

The VV seems to provide a stronger hit when at the end of the charge, i.e. doesn't seem to "fall off". Since I don't normally vape any battery that low, it's not much of an issue for me.

VW is a bit easier, imo, as it automatically adjusts to maintain the same power, no matter what topper resistance is, so as long as the flavors both "like" the same power, no adjustment is needed when changing.

The VV3, being square, doesn't roll away from me if I lay it down, like the spinners or other round / tubular batteries.

But you can get the Spinner up to 1300 mAh, and the VV3 is only 800.

Both, imo, are good choices for intro to the VV and VW experience. Both work well. So it might just be a question of VW or capacity.

Anybody else having any issues when adding a ego cone to cover up the threads. I use a mini vivi tank and when I used the ego cone it will not read the load

I have an Aspire vivi nova that has the same issue. It's easily fixed by wiggling the post at the bottom of the tank inside the 510 threating.

Not all my T3's will work.....sometimes it's the post up too fat....haven't looked into it yet...but it may be that I have some that have T3 coils and some may have pro-tank coils.....since Pro-Tank coils fit the T3 also it may be that the posts are a different size.

Point well taken, _Lee. And echoed by many.

At the same time, once you add in a couple of batteries and a charger, it does widen the gap a bit. And for those new to vaping, who may not yet be sure they'll stay with it, the "throw-aways" that could well last a year or more, can be an easy entry path.

Some, too, just might prefer the smaller and lighter form factor over a mod. As you say, there are smallish ones, but most use something with an 18650, So that can be an issue.

But if your indecision is your decision, there are a lot of good mods out there :2c:

I just cannot convince myself to spend $40 on a throw away battery. I know it has features I want, but when I can get a max mini or something of that nature for a few $ more... I dunno.

Sometimes indecision is the decision?

Keep in mind as well, that all batteries are throwaway. The batteries like the 18650s don't last forever either. And good ones aren't cheap.
I'm not trying to defend the VV but throwing out another consideration. I use my VV as both a backup battery as well as a "going on a walk "battery. It's small, light and hasslefree.

For taking the first step with a mod the iTaste VV 3 is by far the one of the best ways to go. Simple to use, easy to charge and a great vaping experience. It will be awhile for me but my next step up will be the ProVari. Until then I'll enjoy my iTaste's.

All valid points! However 18350 and 18650 batteries are much cheaper than $40 each. Once you have a charger and the device, it's $15 for two batteries. The down side is if the control unit on a ZMax or a eVic dies... it's junk. Which makes the case for a manual mod with a kick. I'm not trying to talk myself out of it. ;)

Welcome to the argument in my head that has been going on for weeks. I've done the pros and cons back and forth and be darned if it doesn't come up pretty close either way.

That it is, Lee.

I've been happy with my Spinners, MVP and VV3 for some time, but finally got an SVD last week, along with charger and two 18650s... Figured, after a year, I'm going to be sticking with this!

Any of the others makes a nice pocketable backup, or something I won't cry much over if I run over it with the lawn mower. Or the times when I want something a bit lighter in my teeth!

I think that has been my thinking also....I like the smaller size......it's not that well accepted around here like a lot of places yet.....and to carry a vamo or provari even in mini mode they look at you like you have some kind of DRUG device in your hand.
soon I think everybody will be aware of what vaping is and then it won't be so questionable. For now I will use my smaller devices and enjoy being able to throw them in a pocket or something and off I go......still going to look into a Vamo or SVD for home sometime in the near future.

I really get tired of arguing with myself.

I know that I should not look at it as the last device I will buy, as it will not be. I also know it will be a good tool for me to test different tanks and clearos with different resistances. The same can be said for a vw mod. Then again, the vv3 may be enough for me. I don't sub ohm vape and most of my resistances are 1.8 - 2.5 ohm.

Grumble
