What's inside a VTR that makes it so heavy?

[Recycled Roadkill]

I've been wondering just what's inside this sucker that makes it weigh as much as it does. Has anyone gone inside one to see what's there?

Yeah, I could open my own up but I'm not taking any chance that I'll mess it up. And no, its weight doesn't bother me at all.

My change.

Give!

Lots of Brass and SS. I have one also and this thing is built like an army tank. I dropped mine last week and it did not even put a mark on it. I am enjoying mine a lot. What has been your impression with it?

 

[Recycled Roadkill]

Okay, does anyone have a REAL answer?

lead lol
idk i got one about a week ago love it even with its weight would like to see what inside though

I believe the top and bottom is plated brass, the rest is some kind of zinc, magnesium whatever.

I love it. My only issue with it is that it doesn't display the actual battery voltage. Not that big a deal really. I bought it so I could keep it in my front jeans pocket without a tank protruding. I consider it an AWESOME product!

im right there with roadkill i love it so far performs great looks great and sits well in a pocket with no worries

Agreed, it is perfect for throwing into a pocket, it's my out and about mod.

Also good for pounding loose nails back in ...

I really like the weight of mine and it hits like a beast and fits in the front pocket with tank protected

It appears that it is milled from whatever metal the things are made from I imagine that most of the unit is a brick.

I use mine to anchor my yacht.

I passed a magnet around the exterior to see if it was attracted to anything inside. The magnet was attracted only to the battery. All that says is there's little to no ferrous material. But I've had to attach one of those silicone tips on the tank so I don't knock out some teeth if I'm not paying close attention.

Man, I was just wondering this same thing today! It's really bottom heavy, and I can't imagine what's inside that would account for all that weight!

 

[bigrf85]

maybe its milled out of a solid block of whatever metal its made of this would possibly account for the weight and density

Love, love, love my VTR

We have had ours a few months and still are impressed and LOVE the VTR! It is in regular rotation with the Provari mini while holding its own in comparison.

However (on a side note), I have a REO Grand sitting under the Christmas tree...it will be interesting to see what happens to the rotation on the 25th!

Depleted uranium based on the weight.

If they used the same filtering circuitry on the VTR as they did the MVP2, I'd buy it in a heart beat. Until then I'll just vape my MVP2 and hope they upgrade the VTR with the clean signal of the MVP.
