Meanwhile, the SVD 2.0 is already available for some time and fulfilled exactly what was expected of him.
SVD 2.0 is supplied in a small bag, which 2 cases (one for 18350 and 18650 batteries for once) includes a cap and a small integrated testing device for the charging status of batteries.
The design of the SVD 2.0, which consists entirely of stainless steel, as opposed to 134 iTaste kept very simple, there are few elements of style and everything looks very minimalist and cool. The workmanship is very good, all the threads are cut cleanly and I found no burrs or the like on the entire device. Here and there some edges are a little sharp, but not dangerous.
The fire button is recessed and can be sensing indeed, but he is not so pronounced as with other battery makers. The pressure point is very pleasant and felt. The same applies to the adjustment. Positive is here that the wear of the fire button was a common problem at the SVD 1.0 and that this problem with the SVD 2.0 definitely belongs to the past.
The display is easy to read. The Watt setting ranging from 5 to 20 watts at 0.1 Watt steps and allows each steamer setting for personal "sweet spot".
A hold mode can be activated by means of 3 clicks on the fire button also allows the watt setting fix by a simultaneous actuation of the setting.
The control and protection mechanisms through the Evolv DNA chip are beyond reproach.
Conclusion: the SVD 2.0 has a stylistically minimalist design with maximum functionality without striking weaknesses. Clear recommendation!
