***-The Itazte Kroma by Innokin-*** Review by Based Clouds

And here comes another review for ya!!  Enjoy!

Ok, So when I was first starting out on my Vaping Journey I was on the lookout for another unit besides the AL85 from Smok that I had.  I mean, what if the Smok brand was crap?  (It isn't!)  What if they broke and I need a quick fix?  I decided that I needed another Kit that I could use as a stand in kind of device.  Something that I could take to a baseball game or the beach and not be left high and dry if it got wet or lost.  Something that didn't have a huge price point, and had internal batteries (have you ever tried to change batteries at a baseball game or in a fishing boat?  Not a pleasant experience, lemme tell ya!) that didn't take an eternity to charge.  My Dude S. at Brick House Vape Shop had something perfect for me.

S said that he had just the thing for what I was looking for, the Itazte Kroma by Innokin.  He explained all the pros : fast charge internal battery, inset atomizer tank, easy to lock and STAYS locked, small enough to fit in any pocket comfortably, has an adapter that allowed you to use any other tank you wanted, and it even came in a brilliant and electric BLUE!  The cons tho: the Slipstream  tank hold very little ejuice, like 2mls.  It tends to go thru it quickly too, and when you open the tank to refill. . . . well, it is a top open tank, and the coil comes out with the top part.  if you misjudge the amount it overflows and gets all over the place, including the recessed tank area, when you attempt to close it.  it is also easy to over-tighten the top lid, you need to push heavily on the lid while turning to get it off, like a child proof med cap.  it comes with a deck and post that you screw into the recessed tank area to make it able to use other unit's tanks.  The pieces are small and easy to lose, and when another tank is on the unit it looks rather . . . . ungainly and awkward.  But it works.

I purchased it that day, and paid roughly $80 for the kit.  It came with the tank, post and deck with the remover bit for other tanks, 2 different coils (one in it and one in the box, wrapped.), power cord, and the manual/warrantee.  The manual has pictures in it and is actually very helpful.  Most manuals I get could be used to put people to sleep, but not this one.

I ended up taking the unit with me and my Chief Bedwarmer when we went to see the Giants play the Diamondbacks.  The small size made it perfect to slip into my breastpocket at the stadium, and I never had it fire in my pocket by mistake.  I was able to keep a charge in it all the game (13 innings!) and i was disappointed to note that I had to fill it once on the walk to the park and twice on the walk back to the car.  That made walking on the streets of San Francisco rather challenging!  When I got back to the car, I plugged it back in, and it was fully charged in less then 10 min!!  another thing is that the light around the fire button lets you know when it needs to be charged.  Green for good, yellow for getting low, and red for CHARGE ME NOW!!  How awesome is that?


so the basics and the score:
Appearance - 7
the color was bright and didn't flake off or chip either.  It has the colored lights around the fire button to let you know about charging, and the design is all cluttered up with unnecessary stuff.

Working - 9
It works pretty well, and the manual helps you figure it all out fast.  it goes from temp to wattage fast and easily.  No muss no fuss.  lol

Accessories/add-ons  -  9
the ability to change from the 2ml tank to a tank of your choice is awesome.  The only problem is that if you lose or break the pieces you are up shit creek with a 2ml tank.  I would rather have a larger dedicated tank then to do it this way, but ehhh.  what ever, I guess.

SCORE : 25 out of a possible 30
