I'm really interested in this! I bet with a little mod you could add a switch to how much butane it would burn/heat level could be controlled.

Once you turn it on, it will stay on which basically means even if you're not puffing away on it the e liquid will still burn up. I think i'll do a few different vids on it so maybe you should wait till tomorrow night. Might do one with herbs, molasses, eliquid, and then one comparing it to a few of the pv's i own.
Well I have booked marked this thread!
Take your time!
I guess you can't drip with this one at all!

Hmmm . . . that's not been my experience at all when I use cotton in the chamber and add a few drops of eliquid. Typically, I add 3-4 drops of eliquid and then 1-2 drops of glycerine, and that will last me 15-30 minutes of vaping on the iIolite depending on how frequently I inhale.
Basically, I got the Iolite awhile back as my ultimate insurance policy. With e-cigs, you have 3 issues to deal with in the event of a ban--batteries, atomizers, and liquid. The batteries can be addressed with mods that use "regular" batteries, and the liquid can be addressed if one goes no nic and does DIY. The biggest weak link (aside from problems getting liquid with nicotine) is the atomizer . . . just no viable substitute out there right now.
With the Iolite, there is no atomizer--just a metal bowl that is heated. Likewise, no battery--butane operated. Originally designed to vaporize "herbs," the Iolite can be used with liquid. By adding cotton to the bowl and then adding a few drops of liquid on the cotton, the liquid doesn't burn off as quickly.
The mess using liquids with cotton is practically non-existent. Simply remove the spent cotton with tweezers, repack, and start again. If you vaporize tobacco or molasses, the mess is, imo, substantial unless you wrap them first in foil . . . and I just find that kind of difficult. Plus, I don't find the vape as satisfying with the molasses or tobacco as compared to the liquid . . . even if I add a few drops of liquid onto the molasses. But that's personal preference.
As I see it, the downsides are:
1. The unit gets warm . . . VERY warm. In fact, it got so warm that it kind of freaked me out at first. I don't feel comfortable just laying it down on a table while it's in use. I put it in a bowl or glass to hold it while it's on and not sitting in my hand.
2. It makes a hissing noise as butane is being consumed to maintain the device's temperature. That hissing noise is a few seconds long and comes on every few minutes. It can be disconcerting at first, but you quickly get used to it.
3. It's larger than almost any type of e-cig out there. I'd say it's about the size of a cell phone. Between the size and the occasional hissing, well, this is not what I would consider a "discrete" vape. I don't use it in public.
4. While it will put out vapor within about 30 seconds of being turned on, it produces its most flavorful vape after it's been on for about 5 minutes.
5. The butane, imo, is both good and bad. Good--cheap, readily available, and my Iolite lasts about 1 to 1 1/2 hours after having been filled. The bad thing, though, is the butane container is larger than batteries. You also can't travel with butane in your carry-on bag on an airplane. I also don't like filling the Iolite. I have trouble telling when the "tank" is full, and I wind up overfilling and then having to wait a minute or two before turning it on.
With e-cigs, I got comfortable with their use almost immediately. The Iolite, however, took me substantially longer. There was some definite trial and error until I found out what worked for me. For example, if I use too high of a nicotine concentration, the vape is simply too harsh/strong. If I saturate the cotton, the vape is too harsh.
Now that I've worked with it a bit, however, I find that I really, really enjoy it. The vape is warm, and when I've got the right amount of liquid on the cotton, the vape is flavorful and soothing . . . almost comforting. It's also incredibly flavorful. (The first few minutes of turning it on, though, while it will produce vapor, it's not terribly flavorful . . . takes about 5 minutes for it to produce a complex, rich taste.)
Right to Vape has an excellent thread discussing the Iolite (formerly known as the iInhale). Right now, the thread is located in the general discussion:
I-Inhale from Smokejuice.co.uk (thread at Right to Vape forum)
Sadly, users have removed some photos from their photobucket accounts so many of the photos are no longer available.
Even so, the information is all there.Also, one of our members, Frogbmth, has spent a great deal of time putting together a manual of sorts on the Iiolite. A link to download that manual can be found on the last page of the following thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...e-reviews/5732-i-inhale-smokejuice-co-uk.html (thread on this forum)
Tim at www.smokejuice.co.uk has done some great videos on the Iolite. IOLITE / I-INHALE has a YouTube video showing the cotton method of using the Iolite. If you click on the "menu" button in the bottom right-hand corner of the video player on that site, it will give you a listing of some other Iolite videos to watch.
Hope this answers some questions.
Julie/Crash,
Crash said "once it's on, it's on".. does this mean once you ignite it, it stays on fo 90 minutes til it's out of butane? that seems kind of odd and i'm figuring i prolly misunderstood.

Ok I would just like to say a few things before anyone watches this, I have never done a review before so I had no idea what to do, I'm not much of a people person unless I'm drunk. So try not to leave any horrible comments about it. If I missed anything just let me know and I'll try to do another video covering it. Oh and the only reason the video is in 10 parts is because I had loads to cover, and well I didn't really know how to use my camera at first.

lol i actually had to clean up a bit before i turned the cam on my room was in a real state, lets just hope the people that asked me to make that review are satisfied cause i was a nervous wreck making it. I cant even stand up and talk in front of a few people in class
Great vids Crash! I know what you mean about not being able to speak in front of alot of people. I am the same way, but I'm getting better about it. The trick is to find your passion. I know it may sound dumb, but it works. If you are passionate about the point you want to get across, and you focus on strickly on getting your point across rather than the focusing on the people you are getting it across too. That makes it much much easier. Again, awesome job man!
Cheers man, but its hard to be passionate about accounting
I think i must just do vid reviews from now on so much easier then typing it out, being lazy can be my passion ha
OK, going to go back and watch the videos and go to the links later today. I have the Iolite packed away and I want to learn how to use it better. I just burned out two atty's on my Prodigy in less than 5 minutes!
I know my contacts are clean on my Prodigy, I pretty much know how to vape with it, I've been using it for 18 days now and all of a sudden I'm blowing through atty's. Getting tired of this. So, Sun, thank you too for your suggestion, seems I've got some spare atty's!
