Just be sure you like iClear tanks, as it's clearly designed to promote the use and sale of those. A limited number of others can fit but the motive for the design is pretty (i)Clear.

Yeah, for sure it is a concern that it has limitations with regards tanks. Also, I'm not sure if yours were inclusive, but the one I'm looking at doesn't come with batteries or charger, which to include them would increase the price from £59.99 to £97.38 hmmm

A lot of mods don't come with batteries or chargers kalbo you're usually best to buy them separetly anyway so as you can get decent ones. Once you have your batteries and charger they can be used for various other mods

Yes karma I hadn't even considered that until I looked at the spec. :-(

I have one, and deliberated as I had to factor in cost of a charger and batteries, but its a sensible move as although I love my itaste vv's they have a shelf life. Once the built in battery dies, its a throwaway. Thats never going to happen with VTR, you just buy new rechargeables each year.

I love my VTR, I've small hands but it fits well, I'm a massive fan on iclear30s so the tanks suit me and its heaviness is a bonus - stops me vaping my brains out as I cant carry it in my hand 24/7
Oh! and its square, solid heavy base - so it doesn't roll off the desk....

VTR and Panasonic NCR18650B is by far my best mod. Yes, it's a shame about not being able to use most RBAs (I'm waiting to try the Taifun GS until after the Chinese New Year), but the iClear30S is a great atty (and there are the Kanger tanks for those who like BCCs).

kalbo have you considered the MVP2, it's a self contained Battery Pack with VV/VW?

I did not buy any Innokin stuff so far, first up the puff counter obsession they have or had was a deal breaker, then if I wanted to buy the mod without any of their atomizers well, that option was not available either at the time, which was another deal breaker. I felt like I was being herded, not like I was making a purchasing decision of my own.

After a while it nagged away at me enough that I decided to look into it and try to see what was really going on and realised that pretty much all of their mods come with not just one but two atomizers.

I felt sure if they felt they needed to ship two of them with everything they sold, then either they must be unreliable in some way, or they wanted to indicate maybe even underline that they were consumables. It may also be that they wanted higher sales figures for the clearos they make, including two with every mod would be a way to make their clearo appear more popular than it really is I guess, but not sure where that would really get them. Just shows the various aspects I felt it worth considering I suppose.

It was then that I saw it for what it is; it's the printer cartridge model, but adjusted to vape.

So they keep coming out with mods (like printers), and they aim to make their profits mostly from the consumables (like ink and toner).

I have not always been pleased to buy printers and the cartridges, and felt having anything like that experience involved with my attempts to stay away form cigs was likely to prove a poor choice if I elected to make it.

So, having genuinely thought about it, I went another route that I felt would probably suit my needs better, and have never looked back, often find myself smiling at new Innokin releases as they come along, and in my head is the thought "yet another nice try guys, next!" 

Good luck choosing your best fitting route!

can concur on trouser puller

had mine near on week now, sooooo glad i got it,mind you did have a thought,the extension they could have made it so base screwed off to allow the iclear 16's to ba able to be screwed in side,instead of nelsons column! lol

if you use myepack use code potv10 for 10% off so it comes in at £54.99 inc delivery,they had it on sale for £59.99 last week

Potv10 doesnt work, tried It last week when i ordered my vtr

hmmm ordered mine on 21st,wonder if they forgot to disable the discount price on sale price,so may have been the only lucky one,mind you for there cost plus postage[free] reckon on mine they made a whole £5........

Ancient:

At least with some mods your getting atty withing that works well,as well as straight away use[ ok if you have the battery] theres a lot of stuff that come with atty thrown in thats junk,besides i looked at it that the iclear30s is around £9.99 to £13 to buy so deduct that for some mods all you get is a mod for x amount.

Some people will pay £100+ just for an atty or mod.....this is a reasonable priced piece of kit @£59.99....with a Provari what do you get ......as for the puff counter that a gimmick

i must be the minority but i dont like it i must be a lil weakling aswell but its heavy, and not to the point were you cant pick it up but like just not right for me, i had to bye bigger mah batteries cause other 18650s i had lasted about 2 hours moderate/heavy vaping, but obv just my views on it alot of people love it, either way if you get it and dont like it you will find somone who will bye or swap it with you no problem:)
