I have the VTR the SVD and the MVP and have used the 134 IMO the VTR is the best of all of them its built like a tank and feels like one, It is however limited in the tank selection you can use on it without having to use the extension adaptor that comes with it. the MVP is Nice but you cant use it at 15w, the 134 is massive doesn't fit easily anywhere as far as carry around. that leaves the SVD no drawbacks on this unit goes to 15Watts easy to carry and ever easier in 18350 battery mode fits nicely in my work shirt pocket even with my work cell phone in there. IMO the SVD is the best on the go mod durable and feature packed. If you looking for an around the house Mod the VTR
First answer is the MVP2; best bang for the buck;
but you say price is not a factor, so that means go for the VTR.
The 134 isn't worth it when you look at the specs; I love the looks of it but not worth the price for what you get.
Difference between the MVP2 and the VTR:
MVP is a high capacity passthrough battery; highly recommended for new vapers.
The VTR is a box mod with takes standard replaceable 18650 sized lithium IMR batteries.
You'll need batteries and charger to go with it.
The MVP2 is great, I love mine. Only drawback is that it is sort of big, not really a good carry around all day unit. I mostly just use it at home, but it is my favorite PV. I also have 2 Itaste CLKs that I use as my carry around batteries. I like them, easy to use, and the batteries last me almost a full day.
I also have an Itaste VV, which I also like, maybe a bit more than the CLKs. All of these are variable voltage, and all can be used as a passthrough. No matter what you choose, the Innokin line is a great place to start, they have served me well so far.

While I cannot speak for other products, I have a couple of itaste vv v2.0 mods for daily use. They fit nicely in the pen slot in my work shirt. These are limited for the vaping connoisseur, but for the average guy like me, they are an awesome mix of high tech in a small and portable package.
I have an MVP v2 on the way, which I plan on using for an upcoming vacation where I will have no place to recharge my smaller itastes.

Hello,
I'm also new to Vaping. 3 weeks, I bought the Kanger Tech Evod2 starter kit. Since then I have read and watched many reviews on some of the mods out there and decided to buy a 134 Mini. This set up is awesome for me since I really don't know what I'm doing but plan on learning as I go. It is built like a >>> brick house and I figure it will last a long time so as far as I'm concerned it was money well spent. Also very versatile as I can switch to almost all of the tanks on the market. (take it easy guys.. I'm new here also..)
The down side is that it is heavy. I don't plan on taking it to work or out on the town if you know what I mean.
I looked at the VTR and the box style just didn't appeal to me right now.

I have the VTR, 134. and SVD, all are good, however my favorite is the VTR. It is very solid and sturdy. I can vape it at a higher wattage that anything else I have without getting a burned taste.
I got an SVD for the wife. She left it on the desk and stole a provari. I got her an MVP in the hopes she would trade me. Nuthin doin. I keep the MVP in my truck in case of emergencies or just to let possible future vapers borrow. Its a great little device.
134 weighs a ton and is limited to 12.5 W, very bulky
Koolfire also limited to 12.5W, bulky
MVP's non replaceable battery but pretty well built
VTR solid, weighs a ton. the roller adjustment knob was a turn off moves too easy on its own
SVD well built handles medium abuse fairly well medium weight, fire button can be quirky on a rare occasion
VV slender non replaceable battery for low to medium usage
that said.... get the SVD

Pretty sure they all use the same boards , but I'm in love with the MVP 2 for the battery that thing packs , and it has come in handy charging my phone

VTR uses a 48 hz PWM chip set (47.2hz actual output signal)
134 uses a 48 hz PWM also.
MVP2 & vv3 have a flat / steady non PWM output signal.
I love my MVP's; wife and daughter love the VV V3's. Although some consider the built-in battery to be a drawback, it does make life very simple!
I held the VTR once at a B+M; seems like a very durable construction, but I was very surprised at how heavy it was!
In any case, I don't think you can make a wrong choice if you go with something from Innokin.

If money is not an issue go to the top and get a Provari, or even better..a Semovar. I have both the MVP 2 and the 134 and while they are good Vaporizers they don't compare to the Provari or the Semovar. IMO the Semovar is the best there is. It's VV and VW and provide a smooth steady vape and is the most customizable mod in this class. Its price is slightly higher than the provari though and it eats the battery charge fairly quickly..so you'll have to charge your batteries more often. Another problem with the MVP2 is that it doesn't hit as hard as it should IMO. If you use it at the same voltage as the provari or at the same wattage as the Semovar (or even the 134 I believe) you notice a difference. I initially bought it as a first mod because it was hassle free..but then I came to realize that part of the fun is tinkering with stuff all the time ).
Having said that if you're not sure you'll stick to vaping start with the SVD or the MVP2. If you plan to continue vaping make the investment

I will keep simple.Innokin makes a great product.As other things sometimes there is a cliunker,but from my experience,tanks,coils,mvp2 all top notch.The 134's are great if you like the sizes,vtr is cool as hell.TRUST the brand,one of my faves.BUT keep in mind there are ALOT others out there just as good and can do more in performance dept.

I was going to post something similar to Tamer. I too started off with Innokin products and except for the tanks you really can't go wrong with them once you figure out which will suit your needs and vaping tastes the best. I have the Cool Fire 2, adjustable in watts only max of 12 that I used the most even over the VTR. While it certainly was a nice looking piece to me at the time and easy to adjust it was a bit too heavy for me, it's a fingerprint magnet and you are limited to which tanks you use if you don't like the way they look with the adapter, which I personally feel looks silly when used. The Cool Fire 2 is the perfect weight IMO, not too heavy but it's definitely not going to blow over either. It too has an easily adjustable rotating wheel, and it just looks neat. Like others have mentioned and even though using watts is supposed to be equivalent across the board I noticed for me that my other variable voltage mods either hit too weak or hard at my desired setting. I only vape at lower wattage most of the time, and even though I got a DNA30 devices to play around with higher wattage I still prefer lower setting and use my beat up first love at times lol.
I know you ask about Innokin products and I hope you'll forgive me if I'm out of line but if cost isn't an issue maybe you would be better off considering a higher end product. These days I mainly only use either my ZNA30 or mechs. If you plan on dripping down the road or think that might be something your into it's nice have the extra options. I've also noticed a trend lately of some pretty reasonable prices on a number of high end products hitting the classifieds and for sale groups on FB lately. Maybe just something to think about.
The thing about these kinds of threads is your going to get a hundred or more different opinions possibly, depending upon how many respond and EVERYONE that takes their vaping seriously is going to have their "The BEST" (in their opinion only usually lol), device hands down! I find it's usually the one that got them off of smoking with the least amount of trouble and so its the one they stick with or stuck with the longest and it's tried and true! For me that was the Cool Fire 2 and I don't regret that purchase wheras there are quite a few of my early purchases wheras I don't necessarily regret them I don't think I would have made them in retrospect. I certainly could have saved a lot knowing now what I know then! However I also think for many they have to experience a few things just to have the experience to know what they like and what works for them! What I thought I'd like and ended up liking are quite different these days! Heck, I didn't even think I'd like this as a hobby and I remember the days that I didn't want ANYTHING that didn't resemble a cigarette!
One last bit of advice if you haven't already figured this out. Avoid Innokin's Iclear tanks if you do go with Innokin, so that might save you if you forgo kits that include them and just look for whatever device you choose. Kanger tanks especially the Aerotank, the orginals that is are a much better option IMO. Every Iclear I tried leaked even the bottom coil ones and the top wicks always produced quite a bit of dry hits. The Aerotank on the other hand not only looks sharp with a number of devices but it was the first tank I found for a good price that was virtually maintenance free. I still use them even on my more expensive devices with rebuilt heads! Now that the Aerotank Mega's out, which looks ridiculous to me, the price has dropped even further on the originals and you can sometimes find a few of them even cheaper used. Good luck and I hope you find what suits you, vape on!

From a cost against tech perspective... the MVP 2 wins. It's got roughly the same tech specs as the VTR (VTR's wattage can go slightly higher though) but unlike the VTR or the 134 the battery comes with the MVP 2 because its a sealed unit.
Down side of the MVP though is if the battery starts getting old and it doesn't hold a charge you need to buy a whole new unit, with the VTR ya just pop a new battery into it.

Some have mentioned the 134's size as being a drawback but there is a "mini" option. Then someone else came along and said that was too big for them too. I've seen the pictures and the mini does look quite a bit scaled down but other than that I can't recall the exact specs. I was interested in the mini when I was still new to vaping but the price turned me off. Smaller, but the same or more cost in some instances, so I guess Innokin looked at it like Provape does and as a pro to some. So my question is from those that have experienced both the 134 and 134 mini, what is your opinion on it, if someone was interested in the 134 but wanted something smaller is it worth it? I've pretty much moved on from Innokin's products at the moment unless they come up with something spectacular but only because I feel you can get more bang for your buck with other manufacturers, at least for my tastes. However someone new or still into Innokin may be considering such a purchase.
I think Innokin needs to up their game some of they want to retain they're customers. Sure, they're great for new vapers and maybe they have a sufficient corner of the market due to that but in my business experience if you don't grow you go eventually. Also there's the issues with their tanks. Most quickly move to Kanger or Aspire tanks even if they don't go on to dripping or rebuilding. Not trying to get off track here just expounding upon what was said earlier. Most people that stay with vaping end up trading or selling their Innokins especially if given the opportunity. The MVP2 maybe be a good value for some but not for those who already own a power bank which these days there's plenty of decent ones for $20, and there's the same for power inventors. I have both so even on the lower end at $35 with it's limitations it never really appealed to me, besides the fact that I'm rarely away from a charger of power source.
I haven't decided to give up my Innokin VV3.0 yet even though it's a pain in the .... to adjust, I just don't care for the whole hold this and press that while you hold your breath format, and it's not hard hitting enough after you've moved to something more powerful. I even have trouble getting all the clearo's I have such as Evod's to work on it and I use my 1100mah Kanger VV much more when I need something like that. It's well constructed though and it does offer wattage which I prefer to go by. Most likely I'll be putting it up for sale with the rest of the kit, that includes 5 never used clearos and an unneeded charger.
Sorry for the ramble, I guess I'm just in a "sharing" mood today... I think it really just comes down to needs, wants, preferences and which device delivers the most of all three in the price you're willing to pay. If price isn't an issue I'll sell you a VTR, Cool Fire 2 AND the complete Itaste V3.0! Mods while I prob will be listing them soon, I meant that as a joke!
