Typically, I don&#8217;t share info until a review is complete, but in this case, I&#8217;m going to make an exception.  There is some information I feel would be important to consumers.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few issues with the launch of the itaste (in addition to the naming fiasco).  <\/p>\n<p>I received some kits to review and after taking a quick look I noticed the battery would not fire the set voltage.  <\/p>\n<p>You see, the device has a feature that reads the atty\/carto resistance (ohms) and displays two recommended voltage settings on the screen, a high and a low.  You can set it as high as you want above the recommended high setting (up to 5V), but it will only fire at the highest &#8220;recommended&#8221; voltage, and even THAT voltage is far below the setting under load.  <\/p>\n<p>So to make this clear, lets look at some numbers&#8230;. you put your atty\/carto on it, it suggests a low of 3.3V and a high of 3.8V, you set it to 5V and you still only get 3.42V under load.  And yes, unfortunately, those are real numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the signal is flat, there appears to be no pulse width modulation making the &#8220;experience&#8221; not match the &#8220;numbers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Innokin is sending another battery for me to use in my review.  This is a revision 2 battery and will not limit you to the recommended high voltage setting.<\/p>\n<p>Why am I telling you this prior to a review?<\/p>\n<p>Because it means there are already 2 revisions of the battery out there and you need to be aware of this if you&#8217;re thinking about purchasing one.  If you&#8217;re happy with the device limiting your high voltage setting based on it&#8217;s recommendation (and below that under load), then you&#8217;re all set.  If you&#8217;re not, you should ask any potential vendor which version of the battery you&#8217;re going to get.<\/p>\n<p>How will the second revision battery hold up under load?  That remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Full review is coming soon&#8230; hopefully.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"NEWS%20ON%20THE%20ITASTE\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, there are several people who have asked me about my initial impressions of the itaste.
