Real quick before you watch this video.
I couldn’t put everything that there is to know about this VT10i in this video.
SO be sure to click the link in the description box after you watch this video and read everything
that there is to know about the VT10i review from Vaultek.
When you travel as much as I do and insist on bringing a gun with you where ever you
go, the safe you use becomes a big deal.
This used to be my traveling handgun case.
I’ve used it for many years while traveling across the country.
In short, where being able to travel with my handgun is concerned it gets the job done.
There’s a box with a lock and key and that’s about it.
But it’s 2018 and let’s just say gun cases are a lot more technologically advanced now.
Essentially, this case is a Nokia flip phone in the age of the iPhone X.
So, I decided it was time to upgrade my gun case.
Enter the VT10i from vault tech As far as the looks go, it look-a-like a portable
safe.
All be it a futuristic high tech portable safe but a safe none the less.
The Hard shoulder line creases give the safe definition and giving it a very Brinks truck
like appearance but still soft enough fit into your home decor and not stand out like
Mike Tyson working at a chuck e cheese.
The safe looks incredibly durable yet inviting.
The illuminating lights are a great touch.
The rubber cover of over the key hole is also a nice touch.
The VAULTEK logo is pretty damn prominent but not in a tacky way, but it mostly stands
out because there’s really nothing else on the safe.
It’s Brutish Industrial minimalism adorned with subtle indicators of tech.
The VT10i is just small enough and light enough to be a travel case while being big enough
and sturdy enough to also be a full-time desktop or wall mounted safe.
When I check into hotels I usually set it up on my hotel room desk as if I were at home
and place my gun inside to easily keep it out of sight from housekeeping or a quick
place to put when Room service is delivered.
I’ve also use the safe in the car whenever I am in state that requires the gun to be
locked and unloaded.
I can keep my magazines on me and if need be and the biometric scanner and number pad
gives me relatively quick access to what would otherwise be completely useless attempt at
trying find the key, unlocking the case and then getting to my gun.
It’s 5.2 lbs so it’s not the lightest safe in the world, but it’s also constructed
of Progressive Formed 18-gauge steel.
I’ve never had problem transporting this safe.
I’ve carried in duffle backs, suitcases, and backpacks and it was never too heavy,
but trust me you do notice the weight but not to the point where you never want to carry
again.
I like having options, so I want I want as many ways as possible to gain access to my
guns inside my safe.
The VT10i comes loaded for bear with access options like the Biometric scanner, keypad,
lock and key, and even an smart app.
I love the biometric scanner.
Largely due to it’s speed of use.
Generally speaking I can open the case in just under two seconds using the biometric
reader, which is just a touch slower than the reader on my iPhone.
The Biometric reader is consistent as hell.
Every once in a while, I’ll have to readjust my finger to get a good read but by in large
it’s dead on.
There’s a light right above the finger pad that’ll turn green once your fingerprint
is authenticated.
I’ve had other safes with Biometric fingerprint readers that don’t have a light indicator
and you’ll find yourself sitting there waiting to be prompted that it’s not working.
With the VT10i you know immediately if your fingerprint can’t be read by simply seeing
the light indicator light up red.
However, one downside is how long it takes to let you know that if can’t read your
finger print.
It takes about 4 seconds to indicate that it can’t read your fingerprint if the wrong
finger print or you just didn’t place your finger on it correctly.
To get around this, if the light indicator doesn’t turn green with in two seconds I
know some things wrong and I just readjust my finger.
The Biometric reader is slightly recessed in the case making it easier to find the scanner
on the safe even if it’s dark and you can’t see it, but it’s also outlined in highly
reflective chrome so it’s hard to not see it even in dark settings.
With the biometric scanner you can upload 20 unique fingerprints.
That’s more than enough to give access to the people in your family who need access
to the safe as well.
I love the intuitiveness fo the number pads.
All I have to do is get close to the number pads and they illuminate red.
The keys are surround by raised borders giving you extra tactility when in dark environments.
The keys themselves feel like the keys on an apple keyboards, short throw but incredibly
responsive.
It’ll register your password as fast as you can type it and once you do the lights
illuminate green and the safe opens within less than a second
I’ll be honest, I don’t use this feature a lot.
I really just use it as a backup in the event the batter on the case dies.
Speaking of which, the batter on the VT10i lasts 3 months on a single charge.
The beautiful thing is you always know the state of your batters by simply plugging in
a micro usb and there are four small indicator lights that let you know how much battery
you have left on the case.
And charging it is as easy charging your cell phone.
I’ve charged the case with a battery pack before.
One of the dopest features is the smart app.
The app shows you the safes battery level, notifies you when the safe is being tampered
with.
There’s a history log that gives you accounting of everything done to the safe, like if the
interior light is adjusted and how and when the safe is opened.
You can store multiple safes within the app and switching between the different safes
is a breeze.
You can also manage the finger prints within the app as well.
In the six months I’ve used this safe I’ve done a ton of traveling with it.
I’ve dropped it on concrete, dropped objects on it and just generally abused it unintentionally,
and it has the marks to prove, and it keeps going.
I love this safe, I really do.
I have absolutely no problem shamelessly gushing over the VT10i because I enjoy it that much.
With an MSRP of 239 it is not a cheap safe nor is it an expensive safe considering what
you get and what the safe does.
The safe is versatile as hell.
It’s literally he one safe option if you’re looking for a small safe for the house that’s
also portable enough for travel.
