i'm sure this has been covered before, but i've tried my buddy's Vamo V(something) i think it was, and found that it produced clouds very unlike my ego-c upgrade that i started out with. i think my battery runs at 3.3v unregulated if i'm not mistaken. so i used to think bigger battery = bigger clouds. not trying to impress anyone, but it was definitely more satisfying.

then i got to thinking, perhaps my voltage isn't high enough. i got 1.8ohm coils for my mini protank ii, and that definitely improved things, but still nowhere near the level of the Vamo. so i figured perhaps if i just get a battery that has higher voltage, i could get a more satisfying hit (more cloudy!). i just want something that i can carry with me anywhere without it weighing down my jeans and creating a huge bulge in my pocket.

after doing some google research (prior to joining this forum) i decided that the Smoktech Winder would be a great upgrade without compromising on size. i guess this post is less about the Winder and more about other thin alternatives that can produce some good clouds. maybe i'll get a mod as well one day, but for now, compact size is of more importance. thanks in advance!

hey whats going on man

i was thinking about the itaste mvp2 but, i know it sounds stupid, i don't like that its shaped like a brick despite how slim it is. i prefer the sticks, and isn't the vision spinner the same thing as the smoktech? or is vision spinner typically regarded as superior?

i might get an mvp2 eventually anyway haha

MVP is a great choice. I have the mvp 2 and a smoktech winder as a backup. I was hesitant to get the MVP as well bc the boxy shape to it but it fits perfectly in my hand and is actually smaller than my iPhone. It is actually very comfortable to hold in hand. All the features are a plus for me, but what sold me was the battery life (about 2.5x the life of Winder). I also enjoy the fact that it is a pass through and you can vape it even when it's charging.

Don't get me wrong, the itaste vv looks cool, but I dunno if I like all the buttons and menus and stuff. The microusb pass through is pretty cool though. The taste your juice review said how at higher wattage, the itaste actually wasn't outputting according to what it was set to. Any similar experiences with the twists/winders/spinners?

It's nice to know certain readings in regards to the Innokin iTaste VV/VW V3. What sets the iTaste apart from the others is:
Variable Wattage
Ohms meter
LED Battery Indicator- most important
I own Spinners and Twists but Innokin seems to be heads and shoulders above other manufacturers in regards to build quality.
There are other minor positives for the iTaste- slightly more volts and amps. My ONLY issue with it is the batt is only 800 mah. May be enuff for others but not for me.

I've owned the Innokin MVP 2 for about a week and I'm extremely impressed with the build quality. My only minor complaint is the button is a tad stiff.

differences between the MVP and VTR? i just noticed replaceable battery on the VTR. did they fix the stiff button issue on the VTR, and was it even that big a problem on the MVP?

VTR has an enclosed tank, removable batteries, no passthru, bigger screen with a rotary adj dial, & very heavy


the heavy push with MVP fire button isn't an issue, but more of an observation...
you just don't slide a finger to it and lightly bump push it,
you have to think about it and PUSH IT which gives me the feel of durability
and a safety factor that it is not going to fire by accident...

just different than most others, but still one of the best

Variable ego batteries are great and its what I reccomend for a newbie starter.
However if you've been vaping awhile and are ready to upgrade from even a standard ego battery i'd look at MVP, Vamo, etc.

I know several vapers that are happy with egos and they work great, but I always suggest variable over the default because it holds the voltage as the battery is low and make for a generally better vape.

I still have 2 that i've been known to loan out and keep in a bag buried for backup. :)
