Dionne's Journey Continues... Part 8 iGo 3 & 4, The Innokin iTaste MVP & The ePower

Hey! It’s so good to see you!

I’m really pleased you’ve popped in.

How have you been?

Let’s just grab a cuppa and get comfy…..

Have you been looking online at the kits we’ve been talking about at all?

What are your thoughts so far?

Do you feel swayed in any particular direction?

I’ve been vaping a long time now (over 2½ years) and am very passionate about it as a tool for moving away from using harmful tobacco products. I’ve been amazed at how much my senses of smell and taste have improved. Great at dinner time, not so good when its time to sort laundry!

My home doesn't smell of stale smoke, nor do my clothes and nor do I. I don't have horrid ashtrays to empty and wash. When I’m out with friends and we go to the pub I don't have to go outside and shiver whilst my friends stay inside in the warm enjoying the conversation. These days I don’t miss out on all their juicy gossip!

I began as you know, vaping with a small, slim cigarette looking device but moved on fairly swiftly to using a more powerful one. I’ve tried them all and have enjoyed experimenting along the way. Each model and new development in the market offers more advanced features and additional benefits. Some I love to use and others I’m not keen on and quickly discard and this would be true of anyone because we all have our own individual like and dislikes just as we do when smoking a particular brand of cigarette or pouch tobacco, or choosing food from a menu when dining out.

Offering more on their own product ‘menu’ now that you know about some of the other kits, Exhale have asked me to tell you about their iGo 3 and iGo 4 kits as well as the iTaste MVP V.2 and the ePower V.2 starter kits.

Then, after we’ve looked at all of their starter kit choices I thought we could take a look at other atomisation devices which you might like to try and which can be added to a kit and will open up a whole new world of vaping pleasure!

iGo 3 & iGo 4

The iGo 3 and iGo 4 kits both come with a unique desktop charging base/stand. This is awesome because it gives you somewhere to put your device down! But, as well as being a great stand it also charges the battery whilst it’s in there. Unlike the Ego and 510 batteries supplied in their other kits the iGo batteries do not need to be dismantled from the atomisation device and then screwed into a charger.

The iGo 3 features a 650mAh battery and the iGo 4 a 750mAh battery. Additionally the iGo 4 battery also features a digital display window that shows you how many puffs have been taken (0-999) and this can be reset each day if you wish. It also has a useful battery life indicator. The LED screen lights blue when the battery button is depressed, remaining lit for approximately 3 seconds afterwards allowing you time to check the current battery status.
The black dual threaded batteries are have stylishly embossed design and the battery button is like a jewell. The atomisation devices are iGo CE4 clearomisers which are not maintainable but, because the battery is dual threaded, they can be replaced when they expire with any other clearomiser you might like from Exhale’s comprehensive range.
Let’s see what you get with each kit:

iGo 3
  • 2 x iGo 3 650mAh batteries (arrive partially charged)
  • 2 x iGo CE4 Clearomisers (1.6ml) 2.6-2.8 Ohm
  • 1 x iGo 3 Desktop base charger
  • 1 x E-liquid dropper bottle

iGo 4

  • 2 x iGo 4 750mAh batteries (arrive partially charged)
  • 2 x iGo CE4 clearomisers(1.6ml) 2.6 - 2.8 ohm
  • 1 x iGo 4 Desktop base charger
  • 1 x e-liquid dropper bottle
The base/charger is intelligent in that it keeps a eye on the charge in your battery and once charging is complete it will automatically cease charging. Coloured lights will illuminate the base/stand, a blue ring when charge is complete and red during the charge. Using the dock/stand throughout the day keeps your battery charge topped up and always ready with a good store of power when you then go out and about!

iTaste MVP V.2 & ePower V.2

Now we’re moving into a new dimension as we take look at the iTaste MVP V.2 and ePower kits. These kits feature batteries that offer so much in terms of their power and they’re also packed with many additional features. Let’s discover them now….

Box Mods

The batteries of both the iTaste MVP V.2 and ePower V.2 are ‘box mods’ which means that they are box shaped and are a real departure from the devices that are cigarette or ‘pen’ style. Perhaps a real statement that what you are doing is vaping and are clearly not smoking.

Powerbanks

They are hugely powerful and are also powerbanks. This means that the stored power can be used and transferred to other devices such as an iPod, MP3 player, mobile phone or even a tablet. Brilliant when you are out and about!

The iTaste MVP V.2 is 2600mAh and the ePower is 1800mAh.
Passthrough

They can also both be used as passthrough batteries. This means that you can vape with them whist simultaneously they are charging via your PC.

Variable Voltage

Both of these batteries are Variable Voltage and the power output can be altered so that more heat is generated during vaping. The ePower offers several preset voltage options and the iTaste MVP V.2 can be altered in 0.1v increments. The coil will become hotter and the e-liquid atomised more quickly. This produces much more vape and a fuller taste experience. Care should be taken not to have the voltage so high as to burn your coil out. It is advisable to check a chart to make sure you stay within the range specified. If you go too hot not only will your coil burn out it will also carbonise and this carbonisation will discolour and taint the taste of the liquid. Start experimenting slowly, and at your own risk!!!

Variable Wattage

The iTaste MVP V.2 is also Variable Wattage. The ability to alter wattage as well as voltage gives much greater variation in the power output. Again, care should be taken when increasing wattage so as not to burn the atomisation devices coil out. Start out slowly and at your own risk!!!!

Puff Counter

Both devices feature puff counters which can be reset each day so that you can monitor your vaping habits.

Ohms Meter

Both batteries have an ohms meter built in which will read the ohms resistance of the device screwed onto it and will automatically set to the correct voltage output.

Battery Status

Both batteries have functions to monitor remaining power and indicate this with the use of different coloured LED’s.

Multi Connect Cable

Both models come with multi contact cables fitted with the 3 most common power connections (iPhone/iPod, Mini USB, Micro USB). The cable is used both for charging and can be utilised when operating as a powerbank.

Clearomisers

Both the iTaste MVP V.2 and ePower V.3 come with clearomisers. However they are also both dual threaded and can therefore be used with any other clearomiser device.

The iTaste MVP V.2 is supplied with 1 x 3ml capacity iClear 30s dual coil clearomiser with its unique 360 degree ball jointed mouthpiece. This is superb and allows you to position the mouthpiece where it is most comfortable to use. The coil can be easily replaced.
The ePower is supplied with 2 x ePower bottom fed dual coil clearomisers. These are able to accept the replaceable coil heads used with the Kanger Protank II.
You’ll see why I left these monster kits until last! They are really top of the range items and the multi functionality of them makes them very useful and powerful allies when vaping.

Which one of the great kits we’ve been discussing will you be choosing as you embark on your vaping life?

I do hope that my story and experience will have helped you and that you will have been left not only with greater understanding about vaping and the equipment available to vape with. I also hope that you're feeling confident in making a choice to vape too. Maybe you have questions I haven't been able to answer so far? If you have, call or write to Exhale who are always there to help.
Would you like to write a review of one of these amazing kits?

Exhale have offered 2 each of the iGo 3 and 4 and 1 each of the iTaste MVP V.2 and ePower V.2 to readers of my blog in exchange for their opinions.

If you want to take part please email support@exhalecigarette.co.uk making the subject of your email ‘blog” followed by the name of the kit you would be willing to review.
See you soon
