as said, at least a sleeve to keep it in would have been good. it kind of feels a bit careless to provide nothing.... enjoying it immensely though!!
fingers crossed i am wrong but i think my LT may be defective which puts a hold on this process...
i can however give my thoughts on the control system. not from a technical perspective as i am a noob to this. and i believe there are certain button combinations that are available on the LT to give information that i am unaware of ... but here goes.
this is based purely on the usage as a VV machine, i am not au fait enough with the other bits that go along with it yet, so may even be superlative to include.
Pv2 ( 8/10) - like the idea of one button. takes a while to get the hang of it but seems to work well once you do.. bit of a PITA when you accidentally miss the option you are looking for and have to cycle through. screen is great, really nice quality and clear... still, apart from v+ and v- i've yet to learn what else i can do, or is it all informative information?
LT (8/10) - on/off button ( with other functions, some yet to be discovered ) is obviously great. a + and - button makes life easier on the fly if you just want a little more heat ( or less ). I think it is a good system and would mark it higher than the provari were it not for the lack of additional information provided and the quality of the screen ( which is to be expected at this price point )
both units have intuitive control but i'd give the LT the edge for use while on the move...

still having some issues with the LT so side by side testing might not happen for a while. dealer is being very helpful so i am sure it will be resolved very soon and then i can put them through their paces.....

gonna have to keep this short because of work, but second point would be look and feel.... here there is no comparison. The Pv2 is a monstrously well made piece of kit, it feels perfectly heavy in the hand, the button is perfectly tactile and you know you have something well built.
`the LT with battery in, still feels light and flimsy in comparison, i have no problem with the button but it does feel cheap ( and lets not forget, it is ). but i have no problem firing it up, it seems effective and has not misfired on me once yet.
But the two next to each other looks like someone parking their BMW M3 next to a Koenigsegg.. the difference is huge... but, we never smoked a certain brand of cigarettes because they looked better than others did we.......
Pv2 - (10/10) Difficult to think how it could be improved upon from a weight/feel/quality perspective
LT - (6/10) feels mass produced, and like its using minimum materials needed for the device. which i assume it is, hence the price difference. however, prior to receiving my Pv2 would have given a 7 or maybe an 8

mine from freedomvape had a nice presentation box, with molded areas for all the parts..... just basing this on my experience. i assume anyone buying from FV will get the same going forward

Right, i'm sure this had been covered many times, but as a noob i thought i'd give it a go..... because of work etc. will do it in pieces and concentrate on one element at a time... so may take a while to complete...
also, re price difference, you need to be aware that the LT comes nicely boxed with batteries and charger etc. Pv2 comes with nothing. so the cost of the LT as a device is probably about 60% of what you pay for the kit, making it an even bigger margin...
so, first...... packaging
Pv2(0/10) - unless you want to add 1 for bubble wrap. would have been nice to receive some type of container to keep the shiny expensive device in, probably offered as an 'extra' but mehh....
LT(9/10) - Its literally exciting to open the box. loads of goodies and very well presented... fits nicely in the drawer.

well, i ordered good friday and got here yesterday.... would imagine next day under normal circumstances.. don't expect a mahogany box or anything.... can't wait to get my LT back now!!! going pretty well at the moment although it gives more info etc, i do prefer the simplicity of the LT control system... G&S at 4v in a tank is going down very nicely at the moment...

Well, I smoked my pub out with a tank full of hs delight tonight. It certainly hits the spot so far. Much playing to do and when the lt comes back I'll be switching between the two.
First impressions though....very pricey
And no macca, will not be visiting the Galapagos islands soon.
Burns through the juice like nobodies business
Overall happy so far!

so far, find the control system quite confusing. especially as there are no instructions to tell you what means what and what to do. seems like randomly pressing the button turns on the menu........ otherwise, no complaints so far

TBH Kevin is sending my LT back to me as the pin had been pushed in to far, so can't do a side by side..... i'll be playing around when the battery is properly charged, but don't know how it will compare to the LT, especially with regards to the $$$$ diff...
feels quality... expected a box at least. the LT looks much more 'wow factor' when you open it...
