The BCC Mini Update:

6/29/13 – So do you remember when I said in the review that I heard stories about the VapeOnly BCC Mini cracking at the threads.  No need to read anymore… just see the second set of pictures below.

How did it happen?  Not sure really.  The rig was in my pocket.  Wasn’t doing anything strenuous (or climbing ladders), just walking around the house.  I reached into my pocket and was greeted by a juicy mess (get your mind out of the gutter).

This really bummed me out because I was enjoying this little ce style tank.  I actually thought the flavor and performance was slightly better than the EVOD.  This changes the review to a thumbs down.  They need to beef this little guy up a little bit.

I’m happy to report that the iTaste VV made it through the rain.

The Post Review Follow-up:

• 2/11/13 – I’ve heard some comments that the plastic disc in the battery cap may prevent venting. I need to check this tonight. If that’s the case, it’s an automatic thumbs down. Good thing this is a review/pre-production unit.
• 2/11/13 – I’ve heard the estimated price on the kit will be around $70.
• 2/11/13 – From Innokin -SVD stands for Super Vapor Device
• 2/11/13 – Battery designation in the video was described as “18 mm x 65.0 mm.  It’s actually 18mm x 65mm and the “0” indicates the shape, in this case cylindrical.  Thanks for the comments everyone!  This old dog loves learning new tricks!!  🙂
• 2/11/13 – More from Innokin.  They are listening!!

Here is information that I collected , the production version will make below improves
1) both + – buttons ,lock avoid by accidently adjust when hand around SVD
2) make tube edge more smooth
3) reduce inner telescopic tube threads , so screw down more easy.
4) make bottom cap (-)vent do passthrough air
5) update and avoid electronic bug
6) I think we will add another bottom cap to screw directly , so 3 options for consumers
Small Telescopic Tube (18350/18500)
Big Telescopic Tube (18500/18650)
Bottom Cap Only (18350), no telescopic tube

• 2/11/13 – Even more from Innokin:

Bottom cap color didn’t match SVD body , SVD body is stainless steel material , bottom (-) cap is copper with plating chrome, engineer say copper materiel more connection electricity/ electric conduction.

I also don’t like my SVD inner tube many threads , we will going to reduce threads , so can take off telescopic tubes easier .

we also will going to make inner thread more smooth and precise , when screw and not wiggle

about + – button , we will think about change position , I will follow and talk to engineer about this issue , although can not be same as Vamo or Lavatube , but we need make easy use

we will listen your advice , maintain quality of iClear30

sum up , thanks for your everything , I am sure we will make nice job for production version .

•  2/18/13 – iTaste SVD starter kit retail price in U.S. will be USD$99.99

Let’s just say that “V” does not stand for Victorious. 😉

A PBusardo Tutorial – Vivi Nova Cleaning & Rebuilding

Yeah, I know what I said, the Vivi Nova isn’t a true “Rebuildable”. Well, it’s still not, yet it turns out it’s one of the easiest re-builds I’ve done.

In this video, I talk more about the Vivi Nova, share something with you I probably shouldn’t, and show you how I clean and how I rebuilt the Viva Nova.

Follow-up:

Something I should have noted about this tank is cleaning it and changing flavors. Super Easy! Disassemble it, rinse out the tank, the wicks, and the head, blow it dry, give it a quick dry burn if you like, and load up with the next flavor. Worked well enough for me!

Here’s a first look at Smoktech’s answer to the Vision Vivi Nova tank. They call it the “Screw Tank”.

Note that Young June also has one out.

I don’t have a review on this one yet. Before I get to this one, I’ll be posting a quick take on the Vivi Nova tank… hopefully tonight.
