Innokin iTaste Kroma-R Zlide Review

Innokin iTaste Kroma-R tilted

Vapers looking for the best mod can spend hours comparing different devices before finding the right fit. Typically mods are designed for more advanced vapers but still considered by all levels. With mods, you can adjust the settings till it hits the spot. When a mod ticks multiple boxes in terms of size, coil variation and flavour, that’s a winning formula. One device we’re seriously impressed with that increases in popularity daily is the Innokin Kroma-R iTaste Zlide Kit. 

But before we deep dive into the full specification of the device and its key advantages, let’s consider whether the device is tailor-made for a particular vaper. Overall, the Kroma-R iTaste Zlide is a great little piece of hardware for any vaper. However, we believe it’s ideally suited for Mouth to Lung (MTL) vapers. If you’re a beginner to the industry and confused what MTL is, you can find everything about this technique and its opposite number Direct to Lung (DTL) here.

For instance, Mouth to lung is a familiar technique with former smokers, who experience a similar technique with cigarettes. Therefore, any beginners changing to vaping would love the Kroma-R iTaste Zlide experience. However, vaping is not just about the right technique you use, although this is important. You also need to consider factors such as what sort of cloud production you prefer. Huge clouds are fun for some but others perhaps like stealthy vaping out of view. Let’s take a more in-depth look at what works well with the Kroma-R iTaste Zlide – there is much to consider.

Innokin iTaste Kroma-R Zlide Key Features

One of the key features with the Innokin Kroma-R is the Zlide tank. An upgrade on the iTaste Kroma-A model, the addition of the Zlide tank to the Kroma-R iTaste is popular for lots of reasons.

  • Adjustable airflow
  • 2ml capacity
  • Enhanced life of your coils
  • Drip tip locking mechanism
  • Stylish design which fits on multiple mods

Not only that, but the Zlide also helps to improve the flavour of your vape. Another factor is the practical design, reducing the chances of spilling after adding e-liquids. When you consider the Kroma-R iTaste works with all Zenith tanks too (22mm and 24mm), this creates multiple options. 

iTaste Kroma-R Performance and Design

This is a seriously stylish piece of equipment to enjoy vaping while out and about or at home. The brushed finish on the sides stands out, while the rubber texture on the back of the device is nice for gripping. On the front, the OLED display is easy to use and clear. Also, because of the bold range of colours available, it gets our seal of approval with options such as bronze and gunmetal.

How to Use Step by Step

A simple process to turn on and use, like with all Innokin Kroma models:

  1. Click the fire button three times to turn on.
  2. You can lock the display by clicking the fire button together with the down arrow.
  3. To enter the menu, press the up and down arrows simultaneously.
  4. Check your puff counter by holding the up and fire buttons together.

Technical Details

This is a fantastic mod with lots of nice little technical extras to tinker with your MTL vape. First of all, safety first. We love the way Innokin built this model to protect the user. Not just a child lock feature which you never know when it will come in handy but an easy to fill slide system too. Because the wattage ranges from 6W all the way up to 80W, you can adjust based on preference. For MTL vaping, best to stick at a lower level. Voltage can change in increments up to 7.5 maximum too.

For peace of mind, you get a 2A micro-USB cable in the kit and the Kroma-R iTaste Zlide features an advanced custom curve feature too. Best of all, it’s response time is rapid at 0.003 seconds with each press of the fire button. Plus, the single 18650 battery is internally built and makes very little noise upon movement of the device. 

You can add a variety of coils, but for MTL vaping we recommend the Z-Plex 3D coils for an optimised flavour draw. You can find out more about coils here. The only downside with the Innokin Kroma-R iTaste Zlide is no temperature control. However, not every vaper likes or requires this setting.

Verdict

For MTL vapers, this is one of the best around, particularly because it supports the majority of Zlide and Zenith tanks. As we know, smoking is on the decline because of a greater awareness of the damage it does to your health. Therefore, many are now looking towards vaping as an alternative. 

But making that adjustment is tough initially, so a similar experience through an MTL technique is the best bet. If this is your reason for vaping, the Innokin Kroma-R iTaste Zlide Kit fits the bill.

Even a seasoned vaper seeking a different mod option can’t go wrong with the Kroma-R iTaste. That’s especially the case if they liked the Kroma-A iTaste previously. Also, it could work as a DTL vape based on the adjustable airflow option but might not get the same result. It’s down to personal choice and how much you value the flavour production.
