When I saw these guys in stock I decided to get one to try along with my juice order. Boy am I glad. This thing is fantastic. I've been using it about a week now and have barely used anything else.

Performance is great. In my brief months of vaping I've pretty much only used stock 510 batteries, and this guy runs at a true 3.7 volts. The .5-.6 extra oomph really makes a difference. I'm getting bigger plumes of vapor and better TH off this than I ever have. It's actually turned me off a little bit to the idea of seeking out a mod that runs at greater than 3.7v because I think the TH may be a bit much for me, as an ex-casual-smoker.

Battery life is also good. I don't take it off the passthrough very often, but the couple of times I've drained it I got 3+ hours of light-to-moderate usage. Performance doesn't seem to significantly drop off-PT except for towards the end of the charge. Except for allowing an hour or so to charge after these full drains, I've also never had to pause to let the battery catch up while in passthrough mode, including straight out of the box, so it's been pretty seamless.

The battery itself seems very sturdy and well constructed. The one little complaint is that the supplied USB cord is a little short and flimsy. I have been meaning to dig around and see if I have an old digital camera cord with a mini-usb port. I also assume a blackberry wall charger with a mini usb port should work with it?

I give this unit an enthusiastic 5/5. At the price, it's hard to imagine a better and more convenient passthrough.

My first response to MV bounced in my mailbox. I had to use the ticket system. I used the ticket system I got the broiler plate response that I had to return it with the RM # and that I would be paying all shipping charges. I responded that I do not want to pay shipping charges. I haven't recieved a response back. I am undecided whether to ship it back or toss it in the waste basket. I'm pretty busy and don't feel like going to the post office.

Don't buy this untit. If I got a dud, there are other duds in the lot. My red light stays on and if you push the button it will blink, even after four hours. I've tried it on wall outlettes and several computer USB ports. The battery is bad.

Sorry that you weren't happy with your purchase, but from your other posts you must be doing something wrong or else have the most cosmically bad luck on the planet. 7 batteries dead in a month, along with another supposedly defective unit, juice that uniformly tastes bad, have you ever stopped to think that the common factor in all of this might be you? I'm guessing from the awful attitude you've displayed on this forum that the answer is no, but your experiences have run wholly contrary to the anecdotal evidence of what thousands of other people have experienced with ecigs.

For my part 2 weeks after purchase this product is still performing well with no hitches at all, and I'm still 100% satisfied with MV's customer service from this and other orders.

I can honestly say I hate that for you. Madvape's has been my go to for the past 5 month's since I started.. I have ordered well into the 100$ range more like 4 or 500 and only had 3 thing's go wrong and I used the ticket system every time. I even use the ticket system for letting them know they are doing a good job.

I had to send one thing back it was at my cost but I only paid one way not both, and realy that's not bad. I am willing to pay for the shipping to any company that is willing to fix a mistake or problem with product, I have actually been debating on picking on of these up but i have so many mod's to choose from with my day to day vape I know it will just sit around.

But can't Lie that new 5v look's great now that I will consider in the collection. I never built my own PT but I'm sure I could figure it out. just at the moment I am playing around with the VV out take

In the few weeks I've had mine, I've been very happy with it. So happy that I bought another to coax my mom into upgrading from analog to digital. I did have to let the charge get a few minutes of a head start, but after that, it's been great. It was exactly what I was looking for, I was in a "like clock-work" cycle of swapping my mega batteries, vaping from one, charging the other constantly. While I am disabled and at home most every day, still the "& Go" (just in case) feature is what sold me on this. I'm hoping there will be a fat bat "Sit & Go" to follow.

I loved mine while it lasted. i don't know what happened, but all of a sudden it just stopped charging. The red light would stay on always, and the light blinked when I tried to use it. I have one of the 5V PTs coming that doesn't have a battery, so hopefully that will work continuously.

I had the regular sit&go (not mega) that I beat on pretty hard in August and September... the 2-foot cord was a little short so it got yanked a lot. (They sell a 4-foot USB cord for $2.49, that helps.) Eventually my battery acted exactly like yours - constant red light, it just didn't work as a passthrough anymore.

Then I realized, heck! It's still a battery, try it on your regular 510 battery charger... and ta-da! I suspect the USB connection went funky from all my yanking on it. If the charger light doesn't turn from green to red when you first connect it, try pushing the button once or twice and see if that makes the battery and charger recognize each other. That worked for me. I am still using it as a standalone battery.
