That flawless looks like an ipv D2 crashed into a Stout. And not in a good way (then again, there's nothing released from flawless that I ever found attractive, and while this one is probably the least unattractive thing they've made, they'll probably ugly this one up too [#ug life] with blood splatter and even more overt branding).

LMAO.... Tell us what you really think Croak.

I just noticed your location and had to look over my shoulder.

Damn you Freedogg!

Very clean lines and it looks like all the colors are in stock.

26650 are making a come back.


Sorry Marc!! lol

I really like the Stout and was thinking of buying another one. Might wait on some Flawless reviews. Flawless looks as though diff length batteries would fit. Although, i do like the Stout batt door.

VF Stout arrived yesterday as did the Black Basen 26650's. WOW!
Firstly, was the v1.5 FW so went to VF Site to download Upgrade to v2.0... Absolutely the quickest, easiest, and most fluid FW Upgrade Process ever. Kudos to Vape Forward!
The Black Basen 26650 Batts are exactly as Mooch said and fit perfectly. Yet to be able to attest to longevity but if Mooch says Good to Go, take it to the Bank and Vape 'em.
Set the VFS to Manual TCR and set TCR to 370 for Ti-built RTA (auth ErlK), Watts to 24, Temp to 500* F, and locked EK Resistance (0.24), and lit it up.
Awesome. IMO the best Vape I have ever had with this Ti-built EK on any Device and I've had it on plenty Mid to High-end Mods. Easy to figure out, navigate and use Menu System. Love the Hinged Bottom Batt Door. Had the 18650 Adaptor and Batt in play as the 26650s charged. Solid and no rattles and she hit fine at the above Settings. Buttons are a Good "Clicky", perfectly responsive, and provide the pressure Feedback I like personally. A sllight "rattle" on the "Up" button as some Reviewers online said but no Biggie as I don't ever sit/walk around shaking my Vape Rigs like a deranged Cowbell Accompanist... ;) Great Size, Weight, Ergonomics/Feel and Aesthetics. I got the Silver as I was pretty sure it would need a Skin to help on grip (somewhat "slippery" grip-wise is the only negative I see on the VFS which is obviously and easily rectified). Got a "Black Leather" textured one from MightySkins in route. Will have the look of the VF YiHi SX Flask with SS Accents lower and upper and the textured Black.
This is a Keeper and will have a perm place in the Armory Stand here at Ft. Vape :thumbs:

Will check it out with other RTAs from the Armory today but would anticipate an equally A+ experience across the board.

Thanks to all here for the Thread and Posts that convinced me to procure this impressive APV :thumb:
I gladly co-sign all the previous Advice to Buy One of these.

I forgot which color Stout did you pick up?

I got the silver one when they first released. I have a lot of mods and the Stout is one of my favorites. Everything looks good on it, but normally I have a Serpent full of NN Honey Tobacco diy sitting on top of it. A .5 twisted or Clapton build between 35-45 watts and the battery lasts a long time.

You are right, Marc!!

The black was going to be my next purchase til I saw the Flawless. I like everything about the Stout and will prob get the black one. The Stout being basically one piece with the great batt door on the bottom is ingenious. The Flawless with the whole side removal thing....maybe not a fan.

And those mod guards are fantastic!!

Right behind you...
how would u think the battery life would be if i put my smok tfv4 on it at 80 watts?

Not great, not much longer than a single 18650 mod would do at 75w. Besides that, the TFV4 looks craptacular on the Stout since it's 22mm on the atomizer side so the 24.5mm TFV4 hangs over quite a bit.

That looks great! I always wanted to use a wrap but was concern about what happens underneath if I ever wanted to take if off when it got worn.

And sweet friggin tank Hitcat, I love mine! It looks great on the Stout with the black tip.
