, from Whistler, BC Summary:
As much as they tried, I don't believe the wedge-shaped design truly helps when being used. Mine tends to lock up a tad to easily while rappelling, causing the need to unjam it with my all-too-bare hands (hot!). It also jams at the worst moments when giving precious slack to a leader while clipping. If you have weak hands, or otherwise want a device that locks off easily, this could be a great belay device for you, but take care to feed it rope smoothly when rappeling due to its signature "click, click, click, LOCK" sound.

Climber
, from canada Summary:
the v.c.'s main feature is it's two different angles for ease of paying out rope/catching of falls. the v.c. works fine for belaying, but is the biggest pain in the bum for rapping. just too much friction, no matter which way you orient it. i found i had to just throw a biner (or two) in there to lessen the friction, otherwise it just ends up being too tiring as you manually feed rope into the device.
