    The 650mah ego twist is 97mm long and the iTaste 800mah is 99mm long. I really want one, but I find that hard to be true? Especially with all the stuff that's packed in.

    WILKOMMEN! Haha I know that's not correct!

    Yeah, no-one can explain better to a woman than another woman!

    It's not really recommended on small batteries such as a 510 (cig-a-like) or on say a 350mah mini eGo but that hasn't stopped me

    Just to contrast that, lower resistance heads are for smaller batteries where you can't adjust the voltage. Higher resistance heads give you more of a range with bigger, variable batteries.

    I asked the same questions about VV, VW & omh's over on ECF and people where really helpful, but I hadn't a clue what they were talking about. They were explaining omh's law etc.

    I know I'm gonna have to learn all that stuff eventually. But for now I just wanna know how to make my iTaste taste nice! So thank-you CSI for your clear and simple advice. :)

    Its a pity that e-liquids have to be steeped. I had run out of e-liquids so I got new ones today. But they just don't taste as nice when their not steeped. I read somewhere that if you put e-liquid in a bowl of hot water for a while and then shake the bottle for ages then that it speeds up steeping. So, I tried it but it didn't make much of a difference, maybe I didn't leave it in the hot water for long enough? Or maybe I didn't have the water hot enough? I was afraid I'd melt the bottle. I also read that putting e-liquid in the microwave speeds up steeping. :eek: But That sounds way too dodgy to me, I don't wanna be left with a melted lump of plastic........

    What I need to do is stock up and buy a load of e-liquid in advance, but since losing my job I'm broke. So, I can only buy a weeks supply at a time. I wanna a new job!!! Boo~whooooo.....!!! :mad: Although on the bright side I would never have given up smoking if I hadn't lost my job! :) Every cloud has its silver lining and all that! ;)

    Anyway, I have my iTaste up and running! There are clouds of vapor coming off it! I'm still messing around with settings, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I can really notice a big difference between the eGo K and the iTaste V3.

    Its great the way the Irish e-cig venders post the stuff out so quickly. I ordered the iTaste from Vaperus yesterday and it was here to-day!!!! :) And I ordered e-liquid from e-smokeireland yesterday and that was here to-day as well! Really great service from both Irish companies. Why would anyone need to shop elsewhere?! :)

    Gillian, are you using this with your MT3?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    I don't have a tape measure to hand, but the iTaste is just a tad longer than a 650mah twist, no way it's as short as a regular 650. It's shorter than a standard 900mah though.

    Some do, depends on the individual really. I never waited to use them - I just got stuck in so in a way I have an advantage in that I don't actually know the taste difference between steeped and non.
    Some liqs really do need it though.

    It really is important to be stocked up on liquid, its fine getting hold of an 'emergency' bottle at the last minute but as soon as you can start collecting!
    On the same note as steeping for example I have a 100ml of Ry4 from Bargainvapour, which some find needs steeping but I find it lovely, straight off.
    Try a few varieties from there, I'm sure you know they're just 13.99 and get hold of a few nic-free juices to add a couple of drops to improve any flavour you're not so fond of - vanilla to sweeten, coffee or tobacco to unsweeten for example.

    Once you've built up a little stash of liquids you can relax and enjoy experimenting with different combinations.

    Always try and have a fall back.
    It's what will keep you from sneaking off to buy 'just the one packet' of cigarettes.

    Gillian, are you using this with your MT3?

    Yep, I'm using my Kanger MT3 with the Itaste V3. Why, is that not a good idea? :confused:

    I'm gonna get a few iClear16's next week, I'd say they go well with the Itaste. A lot of people seem to love the iClear16.

    I'm also gonna try the mini BCC, the e-cig shop in town is after getting them in. I've heard really good things about them.

    So far I've found that I got the best flavour from the Ce4 V3. The Ce4 V3 also gave a lovely warm vapor on my normal eGo battery. The Kanger MT3, the E-Vod & the Vivi Nova give LOADS of vapor, but I think the flavour is much better from the Ce4 V3. If only I could find one that did both! I haven't tried half of the stuff thats available yet. There is so much to choose from! :)

    I love the T3s, just curious how you find it on the itaste.

    E-smoke do a T5 which is kanger's version of the CE4. I find it a bit temperamental, but it gives a lovely flavour.

    Hi Fratton Fred! :) I'm probably not the best person to ask coz I'm quite new to e-cigs. I'll be 8 weeks off cigarettes tomorrow, so I'm chuffed about that! :D But it seems that I still have a LOT to learn about VV & VW, coz I'm just not getting it......

    I have been using my iTaste V3 since Friday and yes I really like it. So far I haven't notice any great advantage to the VV & VW settings. It doesn't seem to make that much of a difference to my vaping experience, but that could be coz I'm doing it wrong.....

    I've been setting my iTaste at the lowest VV and then working up through the settings one at a time and then I do the same with the VW. But I have to be honest, I don't notice any huge difference between settings. The vapor does get a bit warmer as I go up the setting and if I go too high then the e-liquid doesn't taste as nice, but thats about it.

    I haven't noticed much difference between the iTastes V3 & my eGo K battery? But this could be because I'm setting the VV & VW completely wrong? I've tried my Kanger MT3, my Ce4 V3 & my Vivi Nova on the iTaste & I've tried several different flavoured e~liquids. I love all those tanks anyway, especially the Ce4 V3. I've found that I don't like the lower Voltage coz there is a little less vapor & less warmth, but I'd imagine most people feel the same way about lower Voltage? I like it set at around 8 Volts, but I'm still messing around with different settings.

    The iTaste V3 does look really good, its an impressive looking e-cig. And it is REALLY handy that I can charge it off my laptop & vap at the same time! :) Also I think the iTaste is a good price. €29 is affordable. One slightly negative point is that the iTaste battery life doesn't last as long as my eGo K, but I make sure to have a spare battery with me all the times. So its no big deal.

    To sum it up the things I really like about my iTaste V3 is 1) It looks great! 2) I can charge it and vap from it at the same time. The thing I don't like is 1) the battery doesn't last as long as my eGo K.

    So far I'm just not getting what the big deal is about VV & VW? I'd read so much about it that I thought it was gonna make a huge difference, but I don't notice a massive difference. But thats probably coz I'm doing it wrong, so I'm gonna read up more on VV, VW & omh's until I sus it out....... :confused:

    All in all I do really like my iTaste V3 and I'm glad I got it. I'm gonna pop into the e-cig shop in Marys Street during the week and ask the lads who own the shop to show me how to use VV & VW. I've found the two guys in that shop really helpful any time that I've had any questions about vaping.

    I will master VV if its the last thing that I do! Muhahahaha! ;)

    Okay, in VV mode, if you have a 2.4ohm atomiser handy, start at 3.3v. That's the vape that all the early ecigs put out at the start. Very weak.

    Now bump that up to 4.4v and that should be the 8watt vape that you prefer. Much better. More of everything. With rebuildables you can edge higher with the wattage without things getting burnt tasting.

    Where the wattage mode (VW) matters is if you have atomisers with different resistances. If you have the battery set to 8w, the atty will be fired at the correct voltage by the battery whether it's a 1.8ohm or a 3ohm atty, no need to change a setting. That's why a lot of people like VW, supposedly less fiddling with the voltage (although many just end up fiddling with the wattage because different flavours are better at different wattages anyway, like Orange de Sangre gets sickly over 8watts on a coil but Puros Naturales is good up to 10-11watts for me).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 198 ✭✭Gillian72


    Yes Grindle you are right, 4.4 is a better setting! I was a bit afraid to put the voltage up too high, but when I go straight from 3.3 to 4.4 I really do notice a difference. I'll get the hang of this eventually! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    VW is where I stay 99% of the time. The difference is, in VW mode, you don't have to do anything really. Set it to your preferred level and no matter the tank you put on, it should do the rest itself. In VV mode, you'll be changing constantly.

    If you didn't notice any difference from a regular ego batt, then you were not upping the voltage or wattage near enough. My Itaste blows any of my ego batt's, even the twists, away. I always find VV so hit and miss. I'm not sure if they're all put together different or what, but anything over 4V on my twist is in danger of burning. Whereas I can vape away at 11W on the itaste. Wattage mode just feels right to me, being so used to the Vamo. I don't 'get' fully the calculations, and ohm's law etc ... I just set it where it seems to work best for me personally.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭DublinCJM


    I got mine the other day. The VW mode seems to be gone. Only get VV mode now. Will give them a shout and send it back :(

    Was loving the VW too!

    How does the itaste compare to the vamo vapewise? My evic just decided to stop working and i now have no vw device, thinking of getting one as they're cheap.

    Pretty much same when set at the same VW level. I only use iClear 16s on mine, so far at least. And they deliver a great vape. Only thing is they seem to drain out quicker than other tanks [like the evod]. They are dual coil, might be that, but I do find I'm filling them more regularly.

    I had to buy a second itaste as my missus kept swiping mine. her pink ego twist not good enough any more ... grrr. Got her a white one so she'd stop pestering me, and she loves it too.

    I am really tempted to pick up one of these as an out and about pv.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,561 ✭✭✭rickyjb


    Anyone know what the minimum resistance limit is? Usually either 1.0 or 1.2 ohms, would be interested to know.

    I can't remember, but it's mentioned in the pbrussardo video on Youtube. I believe it doesn't do well at low resistances anyway, it's not really a device for dual coils or anything like that.

    Some guy on ECF has fired his at 0.8ohm, but he didn't mention that the vape would have been bad because of the amp limit.
    The ideal resistance to get the full range out of the device (if we believe Innokin's 3A rating) would be 1.7ohms.
    Somebody who measured the output under load has the amp limit at 2.5A, so you'd get a 1.3ohm atty to hit a smidge over 8watts @ 3.3v

    Went ahead and ordered one. Never had vw before. Excited! :) also ordered ben jonsons Or3o, will see if I like it:)

    Can I charge this bad boy using a mobile phone charger?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,555 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    i can charge my mvp using the same usb cable I use to charge my phone. I can also charge my phone/nook/mp3 player using the usb adapter cable that came with the mvp so I'd imagine it's probably similar with this one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭DublinCJM


    I'm charging mine with my Blackberry charger, no problems.

    The iClear 16 clearos, that come in the iTaste bigger packs to go with, are dual coil ;) They work really well with it. It's sub-ohm/less than 1Ω coils that won't work, I'd stick to 2 Ω or greater.

    Hi Everyone! :) I have a question. :confused: Its probably a really stupid question, but I'm not very well up on VV/VW/omhs....

    I'm loving my iTaste VV VW! :) I tend to just mess around with the settings till it tastes nice, I'm not really sure what I'm doing to be honest?

    My question is: I seem to like the VV between 4 volts and 4.4, depending on what e-liquid I'm vaping. But I never really mess around with the VW setting.

    Should I be setting the VV to a certain setting and then setting the VW as well? Does VV & VW work together? Or do I only need to set either one or the other?

    I hope my question makes sense? It makes sense in my head! :)

    If you ignore the voltage and just set the watts, it will adjust the voltage automatically depending what on the resistance of the coil.

    I only use mine in vw mode and I find that works best for me.

    I ordered a brand new "iTaste V3" from VapeRUs last night! YAY!!! :)

    http://www.vaperus.ie/innokin/331-itaste-vv-v30.html

    I've been using my other iTaste V3 non-stop since I got it! It took me a while to get used to the VV & VW, but now I think its amazing!

    I've been having trouble with leaky clearomizers lately. I was using the same old clearomizer for weeks, so it was in bits and leaking a lot. I think the leaking damaged my iTaste V3, coz the button is gone wonky. :( It doesn't click when I press it anymore and it very hard to get it to turn on and off with the five click trick.

    So, I bought a new iTaste V3 before the other one gave up altogether. The one that I already have is silver, so this time I ordered a black sparkly one! Its called "Chameleon!" Sounds nice anyway! :D

    My iTaste went dead when I was out recently, so I had to use my eGo K as a back up. I couldn't believe how weak it seemed compared to iTatse!

    I love the iTaste, I still haven't been brave enough to buy a Mod yet! But I like what I got!
