VIR looking amazing

Further to my last post regarding Imeo's latest video on VIR I have now had a chance to watch the full one and a half hour video. As well as the video I have caught up on the huge thread over on ECF. I must admit to having a bit of information overload but I will do my best to cover the main points of the video and thread here. First here is a look at the PCB from VIR.
As you can see the board is tiny. This latest GG innovation has taken 3 years in design and production. The reason for the size is part of the design, Imeo wanted to make something very small to reduce the overall size of the mod. As well as the size the main purpose of VIR is to offer a product that does more than provide a good vape, it offers a much safer vape.
It achieves this in a number of ways all powered by the tiny PCB which is the heart of VIR. The technology behind VIR is all programmed into a unit the size of a thumbnail. There are too many functions to list them all again but you can check out the full list HERE.
The main and most important features from the video are, in my opinion, the following -
The thread on ECF does have a lot of useful information but became sidetracked for a while with some discussion regarding patents and patent laws. I feel this is an issue for Imeo and we as users should focus on the end product. Having said that there have been a few new nuggets of information.
As we get closer to the release of VIR it is becoming clearer how good this new technology promises to be. The long wait seems well worth it, VIR looks set to be a great addition to the GG line up.

The main and most important features from the video are, in my opinion, the following -
- Prevents inhalation of acrolein (produced when VG gets beyond 280 degrees)
- Can detect and prevent a dry burn
- Reverse battery protection
- Over-discharge protection for battery
- Ease of operation (Although the video is over an hour long it is mainly highlighting the processes VIR goes through to maintain a constant, safe vape. In normal use most of the functionality goes on with no user input.)
- Auto wire detection with different LED indicators
The thread on ECF does have a lot of useful information but became sidetracked for a while with some discussion regarding patents and patent laws. I feel this is an issue for Imeo and we as users should focus on the end product. Having said that there have been a few new nuggets of information.
- VIR will come in steel and brass versions
- Will cost 180 Euro's
- Expected release sometime in the next 2 months
As we get closer to the release of VIR it is becoming clearer how good this new technology promises to be. The long wait seems well worth it, VIR looks set to be a great addition to the GG line up.
