These are the main points listed from the video.
- 3 years in development
- VIR prevents inhalation of acrolein (produced when VG gets beyond 280 degrees)
- VIR can sense a non fed atomizer and prevents dry hits
- VIR can detect and prevent a dry burn
- Will not allow the wick to dry burn, prolonging wick life
- Prevents wire from getting red hot, prevents oxidation
- VIR checks the wick 1000 times per second leading to consistent flavour
- Parallel coils work with all the same functions
- Control of smoke on atomizers with liquid control, especially GG devices
- VIR allows control of smoke temperature
- Through control and management of the current, VIR prolongs battery life
- VIR performs the same regardless of gauge of wire
- VIR keeps vape the consistent between atomizers of different resistance
- VIR can sense flooding, sending correct power to remedy the flooding
- Understands when you are not inhaling and cuts off after a few seconds
- VIR gives a coloured LED signal depending on type of wire
- Detects available battery power and gives an LED signal when vaping falls below normal setup
- VIR gives power when inhaling, if button is pressed without inhaling the power goes down. This gives protection for unlocked devices in pockets
- All changes work in real time, no need to stop and check settings
- You will know the temperature at which your atomizer works
- Mechanical button
- No screen
- Working atomizer check
- Strong/Weak battery check
- Lock mode
- 25 second cut off
- Short circuit protection
- Reverse battery protection
- Over-discharge protection for battery
- Thermal monitoring
- 2-25 Watts with a single battery, 2-35 Watts with 2 batteries (2 x 3.7v)
- Ability to stop LED flashes by pressing button
- Detect lower and higher limits of temperature range
- Remembers your last set up
- 0.45 - 2.2 Ohm resistance range
- Atomizer won't work while pushing a button to enter menu
- Menu won't trigger by mistake, ie when using short button push inhales
- Minimum voltage 3 Volts
Still no details that refer to a release date but this is a big step forward. At the very end of the video there is a patent number for the device, showing how seriously Imeo is taking things with VIR. At a time when there are pushes from all sides to discredit vaping and vaping safety, a device like this is a monumental leap forward. Anything that improves safety is always a good thing and Imeo has always been very careful to include safety features in his designs.
VIR has been in development for a very long time and the list of features more than justifies the long wait we have had. It seems like VIR is a very versatile and useful add on, I can't believe all these functions are crammed onto one device. Also it will be interesting to see the device itself and how it incorporates into a GG mod, to a lot of people the overall look is very important.
Now we just need a price and a release date for VIR. Hopefully we'll get these soon along with some pictures and maybe a video.
*UPDATE*
In the ECF thread Imeo gives a time scale of two weeks for a video and two months until VIR is ready. Obviously this can easily change but it's nice to have a rough idea.
