As Shaggy said to Scooby, we have a mystery to solve. Most people already have a good idea of what Proteus is and there's a lot of anticipation around it's arrival. Something we are less clear on is VIR. Do a search on the GG forum on ecf for VIR and you'll get 37 pages of posts from various people speculating on, asking about or guessing what VIR is. Sprinkled between these posts every now and then, there will be a post from Imeo about VIR, perhaps answering a question or providing tiny clues as to what it is.
But before you go searching these posts out, let me save you some time. After going through the majority of the posts I can tell you this, I have no idea what VIR is. There are hints pointing in the general direction of an electronic part, compatible with most GG's but beyond that, information is very scarce.
Apart from Imeo and a few lucky others no-one knows what VIR is and unfortunately for us Imeo seems to be a world champion at keeping secrets! Joking aside, I know Imeo is keen to prevent copying of VIR by revealing details too soon. Take the iPhone 6 as an example, you can already buy clones of it before it has even been released.
What I do know is that VIR is going to be huge. If Imeo says it will be a game changer then I'm happy to bet that it will be. I have some sketchy theories on what it might be but I'm happy to wait for the official announcement from Imeo. Now that Esterigon and Tilemahos have joined the GG line-up, Imeo can concentrate on the two of the biggest releases in GG history. There have been no indications on any timescale and I really hope we see a release this year, being in a constant state of waiting is shredding my nerves!
One thing is for sure, VIR will keep us all guessing for the time being.
Are you looking forward to VIR? What do you think it will be? I'd love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to comment below.

If my mind is not lying me, I remember that the acronym VIR has not nothing to do with what VIR is, I vaguely remember that I read that the name came from the initials of the names of Imeo's daughters.
We know that VIR is an electronic module, that has nothing to do with a mod of voltage or variable wattage.
I'm unsure, but if I read ok, Proteus that originally would be a VV/VW device will now have a VIR module.
We know that VIR will be available for the Esterigon, and maybe for the GGTS and Just GG.
We know it is patented.
I thought that maybe VIR has something to do with electrical induction, but that will require another system to vaporize the liquid and we know that VIR has to do mainly with the mod and maybe in how it delivers current to the atomizer... maybe it has something to do with the temperature of the coil, I do not know.
Voltage, Induction, Resistance?
The truth is that I'm in the same boat that you: totally clueless about what VIR is, and I can't wait to find out.

I think it is either a coil less heating method, or atty temperature control technology. I have been trying to get him to give us hints for awhile, just like the rest of the GG family on ecf!
