Anyone own both the mvp itaste 2 and the innokin vtr and a couple questions on tanks :) ....

[flexsr]

Good to hear. : while a reo mech or reo vv with an rba on it with 6ml of juice n virtually indestructible is a no brainer and alltime favorite. the mvp for what its designed for seems like a no brainer and a nice little device - 2600 mah for emergency cellphone boost (those alone are 20 bucks - resistance reader (a machine by itself is $15-20) - no additional purchase of more batteries n charger as one poster mentioned is awesome .

I did not know the vtr had higher wattage available in addition to being more sturdy. Thx for that info.

So many tank choices my head spinning as i never tried a carto tank ever. Ill just look closely again what everyone said and go with one of them. The mod itself is just a means to provide power to the atty/tank carto tank - i would imagine the choice of tanks will be equally as important if not more so than what ya choose for the battery etc. you guys have given me some good options -

My main concern is the durability. For starters it has a chip to do the wattage voltage thing which inherently has its issues by nature. In addition if fastech is selling them for 40. They buying them for half and manufacturer is making them for half of that. If i could get a year out of it id be presently surprised. We shall see!


Thanks to all for the input.

Oh and the vw is awsome better then vv imo simply because once you find you wattage sweetspot you can easily change tanks with different Ohm coils and it will adjust voltage to match your sweetspot wattage

If you want to vape then buy the MVP. If you want to vape and for people to say 'what the heck is that' then buy the VTR.
I have both and they both do exactly the same job.
The only real difference is MVP = built-in battery...... VTR = removable 18650 battery.
All other differences are pretty much cosmetic, position of controls, fire button etc.

Which one should still be working 5 years from now with regular use ?

 

[flexsr]

Gotcha....

I haven't received yet ....tiny tiny tiny bit buyers remorse though....

I happened to be looking at some vamo reviews : on screen it looks SOLID/DURABLE (yes i know its a bulky tube and that is a drawback as i like the box mods)......

Durability is important to me though - early on in my vape "career" i would (i forget the expression) but would save 20 bucks up front on a device just to have it break in 4 months and goodluck with getting money back or even a discount on purchasing another

The vtr definitely looks more solid than the mvp and might be worth the extra money upfront for the longevity. Also the vamo on screen looks way more solid than both though (i merely just judging from how it looks on youtube).... Even the vamo is gonna have its issues cause of the circuitry. Circuitry and carry around and spilling occasional juice and rain and occasion drop doesn't exactly go well with any electronics.

Even with that said im glad i bought the mvp- i havent received it yet- but looks like a nice piece n good reviews from you guys. I must say i am digging the 2600mah internal battery which can be used as output to charge your phone if ever need be or last ya most of the day vaping, if not the whole day.

With that being said i still think the reo mechanical bottom feeder with a rebuildable coil is the mod of mods if want something to last and get a low hassle great vape and to save money in the long run. After the initial purchase to vape all month all you need is 50 cents in cotton, 1$ in wire and 20 dollars in juice and it will last forever.

Regardless of all things above, the input from you guys has been great and looking forward to receiving the mvp.

Next on agenda is to try and not break the bank or have aneurism trying to figure out the best carto tank that has performance, cheap or rebuildable atty or heads, capacity, vapor production, ease of use.

I've heard "the joy is in the journey" so let the tank journey continue....

P.S.

I think i like the thrill of the hunt (researching) and tracking the package online more so than actually vaping!!!! Lol

When it comes to durability: which is more durable, the MVP or the VTR?

What I've been trying to point out is it is not a fair comparison at all; The MVP is a battery. The VTR is a container for a battery.
The MVP might last you a year before the battery dies; so the MVP does not NEED to last 2 years!
The question is whether the VTR could last 10, 20+ years. If the VTR isn't durable and lasts only 2 years before SOMETHING goes wrong, the you might as well have bought the MVP in the first place, then by a second MVP when the first one died!!

What happens to your expensive VTR if the electronics gets fried; maybe some eliquid gets on it and it smokes and burns out; can you switch to mechanical mod override mode? I wish. So far, I haven't heard of a modular designed mod like that -(heard a rumor about the kamry ).

So anyways that the balance you have to weigh between the MVP and the VTR; budget minded people go for the MVP; heck 1 year out of it sounds GOOD; the VTR, you'd have to wait and actually get 3 to 5 years out of it before you smile and say "yes, I got my monies worth).

I dunno how long that squeezy bottle works on the reo; its kind of ... i dunno; quonky, but probably a few months I guess then you might be able to get replacement bottles I suppose; I dont think you can get any voltage regulation with a Reo; thats the trouble with the reo; its an integrated system, not a modular one... so far as I know.

 

[flexsr]

Regarding the reo, bottles cost 50 cents and the mechanical version will really last for a long long time. Guessing 10 years. There are no parts that can go. Even if they do there is a rebuild kit for 20 bucks. Thry have a rebuiladable atomizer for it - so can make it any strength i want.

Yeah the reo vv is a crap ahoot for durability- your guess is as good as mine.


Wow i didnt know a year out of the mvp would be lucky.

Why keep emphasizing its a battery. All the pieces are batteries with nowadays the standard is a 510 connector. Every mod non mod start kit is a battery thbe or box connected to a 510 fitting. You mean that the mvp is an internal battery ?!!!! And hence they have a life cycle of only a certain amount of charges and recharges ? If somthen yeah i follow you on the hcomparison.


Anyone know of a rebuildable tank that can be used with them ? Are all tanks rebuildable thru silica wicking? Do any rebuildable tNk systems let you use kanthal and cotton ?

Anyways i posted my tank questions on a different thread- like i said all i have ever known was the reo so i missed out on the whole tank phase, stopped coming around the forums cause the reo worked so well and if stayed on hear i woukd always be tempted by the next great thing that always ended up to be crap 3 months later


The mvp and vtr look like cool pieces. I went with the mvp or "battery" as you call it. Shall be here soon. Still havent decided on tank system other than the iclear 30 that comes with it.

I guess i can use my regular 510 atty on it - but with no tank would be forced to use it just at home n drip with it lol - i have to get a tank know !!! Good tasting, capacity, with either super cheap replacement heads or a rebuildable tank system that fits on it

Yes you cannot replace battery inside the MVP.

You can use silica or cotton or steel mesh wicking; kanthal is usually the wire used for the coil.

A popular rebuildable tanks seems to be the AGA-T2.
Unlike my I-Atty, the AGA-T2 has philip head screws, nuts; non-painted top cap; looks like it can easily take 2 coils, and probably 2 wicks.

 

[Dconnor]

I have a Reo, MVP2, Vamo v3, and a VTR. The Reo is my all day go everywhere device. My main back up is the MVP and Kayfun clone.
My Vamo does not really leave the house. I like it but the durability is not up to the other devices, and I like the box mod form better.
The VTR is heavy, showy and is definitely a show off mod. The replaceable battery is nice, as it will use the same batts as your Grand. The main problem for me is the limit on the tanks you can use. I have pretty much moved on from Protanks etc, and the ring will not allow the use of many of the RBA's coming out now.
Overall, I think you made a good call on the MVP. While it has a built in battery, the life is awesome and you can use pretty much any tank, rba, rda or carto on it. It is really well built and the form and size will be in the ballpark of what you are used to.

 

[PaulBHC]

I just ordered 2 MVP2s. Two vapers playing musical chairs with batts and chargers, they seem like a great choice for us.

If they last a year or more that is great. Each one is about the cost of a carton of sticks. They don't last a year.

 

[deanthemachine]

How come 2 different posters said the mvp is just a battery.

From my brief study of the 2 the mvp i taste is clearly a pv. It has built in battery and a 510 connection for tanks. Thats a pv not just a battery.

I think its just semantics and who really cares. The MVP vaporizes eliquid. Call it a battery, call it a PV, who cares. It will eventually die and you will have to replace it - like a battery.

 

[DenaInWyo]

I have a VTR as well and REALLY love it. I love how it vapes, I love the weight of it. The shape takes a little getting used to if you've never used a box shape before but it's not bad. One thing I really like too is that the adapter works better than any other type I have used. That's a plus for me because I am a constant tank switcher (I vape buffet style ) and tend to wear out connector threads. This way, I just keep the adapter on and replacing that will be a lot less than replacing a mod. I have the adapter for vamo/provari etc. but it just doesn't work as well for me, on top of being annoyingly small so I drop it frequently when it (also frequently) unscrews along with the tank. This adapter allows my tanks to sit flush with the VTR too, which looks nicer.

 

[NickGold123]

So the vtr will take a charge via its usb or thru 18650 and is smaller than the itaste are the main differences ?

Maybe button placement and size and shape might be different too like you guys mentioned but other than that they pretty similar.

Hmmmm ... Sounds like i an i taste buyer unless there is a better warranty or much bigger difference.

They both tank tanks correct ?

Ok great, i look forward to getting one. I looove my bottom juice feeders but its time for a vhsnge to add to my now small collection (throughout probably 15 crappy kits from back in the day that either broke or just sucked)

I saw a place in usa with a great sale on them. But they sold out. I guess maybe fasstech i should try.... Trying for best ddal too. Ive spent plenty on full blown inflated prices. Time for a good deal . I shouldnt pay more than 45 right?

Thx everyone

VTR $67
I bought the Camo green one at full price, then saw that^... Ugh
Anyway it has pushed all the other mech mods and vv vw mods to the side since the day I got it. It comes with the iClear 30S tank which surprisingly performs very well.

There is no USB on the VTR. 18650 seperate battery only. Yes they both takes any toppers with 510 threading. Only some tanks will fit the recess though. You have to use the supplied adapter for tanks wider then the recess allows.

 

[DenaInWyo]

I've been pretty pleased with that iclear 30s it came with as well.

 

[serenity21899]

I have both, and prefer the VTR. The VTR has removable batteries. The area for clearo or carto tanks is recessed. I use mine with a 19mm XL IBTanked carto tank. And it is way heavier than the MVP, but I like that.

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

I have 2 MVP 2's in rotation and love them both. With my commute time added, I'm gone 12 hours per day, Mon - Fri. I have no desire to tKe extra batteries with me. One device, that I can just plug in when needed at work is better for my lifestyle.

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

As for toppers, since you're used to bottom feeders skip clearos. Go for rebuildable tanks or carto tanks. Since I switched to IBTanked carto tanks, I can't stand using my clearos anymore.

 

[wbart]

I have had the MVP 1 and 2 the 134 and the VTR. I have gotten to the point where I just take the MVP for the simplicity of it. No batteries no worry.
Plus I have had to charge my phone a few times and it is a lifesaver. I agree with the iClear 30 reviews as well I love them myself

 

[edyle]

The Itaste MVP is THE top of the line VV, VW, extra high capacity, passthrough ecig battery.

The VTR, like the Provari, the Vamo, the zMax, are containers with the electronics for ecigs, and they contain standard sized 18xxx type replaceable batteries.

You can't compare the MVP to 1 of them but you CAN compare it to ALL of them; and when you do, I looks like a whole lot of functionality for the price, it is a really good buy, both for the novice and for the experienced user.
