iTaste VTR(WOW!) vs VAMO V5 SS

[dognosh]

Just got the VTR and immediately(the lovely case it was in) I was blown away,as up to now I have only had the Vamo. The feel of it in my hands, the build quality, the menu system, sturdy buttons, the looks, the vaping, the fact it stands up easily, and the "my money was well spent" factor all made me smile. I paid £40 for the Vamo V5 SS body, and £65 for the VTR(but it did come with the iClear30S worth £12 and a sturdy SS case worth a few bob),assuming you only place a tenner as the worth of the case(more like £20) the VTR cost me £43. I got both of them from Myepack.

If you buy only one then get the VTR, though heavier than the Vamo and chunkier(I reckon it won't suit small hands)

Would like to hear from someone who has both the VTR and the rolls royce mod(provari) ?

marks out of 10
============
build quality and sturdyness: VTR 10 , Vamo 5 (already one button doesn't click but still works)
looks and feel : VTR 10 , Vamo 7
use(vaping,med to large hands) : VTR 9 , Vamo 7
use(vaping,small hands) : VTR 5 , Vamo 9
use(menu) : VTR 8 , Vamo 8
value for money : VTR 10 , Vamo 7

total : VTR 52/60(87%) , Vamo 43/60(72%)

please feel free to disagree with me

No disagreement here (though I have a ZMax rather than a Vamo... closer to the Provari but only in its crappy usability)

the Provari is my mod of choice at home but I haven't used it since I got the VTR last week. Poor thing must be feeling really left out

I personally would not buy one for several reasons:

Unable to fit any atty greater than 19mm diameter without using the rather fugly extension which rather defeats the compact design.

Weighs almost 1lb with a battery fitted.

Generally to0 wide and thick to be hand friendly

The flight case is an unnecessary item and adds to the cost ... as is the iclear30S for those who have moved on from clearomisers .... why not just sell the VTR in a cardboard box sans iclear30S for around £45?

atty max size , agreed , but currently ok for me.
weight, agreed, but again, am ok with it.
too wide, yes, and I did say I think the VTR is better for large hands.
VTR on its own to save cost, totally in agreement

I've got big hands, like off-the-shelf clearos and love the box

I think you may have misunderstood my post dognosh   ....   I was not aiming any criticism at you or your reasons for liking of the VTR but simply stating the reasons why I personally would not buy one (the first 3 statements) and making a general suggestion (the 4th statement) that might make the package more amenable to a wider audience ...  as I always say there is a mod out there for everyone and we all have different tastes.

the selling point for me was .... the case ! seriously ! but i love the VTR for build, looks and general loveliness

LOL  ... you would buy magic beans if it said "Innokin" on them!

I love mine too, gets bashed around a lot with me so it's not looking as shiny as it once did (had it a few days before any uk vendor)

Just bought a V3 Protank (glass tank, dual coil, bcc, changable drip tip) and they look and work well with each other.

no, you misunderstood me I was stating how your disagreements affected my use of the VTR, and did not consider them criticisms of me,only of the VTR
