No its not. I would try a different charger first. I know on my mvp its the same charger that my cell phone uses so if you have one around try that first. The unit should last at least a year before giving you problems.

No, 2 months isn't normal. My husband's are a little over 6 months old, and one of his two is just now starting to hold a charge for noticeably less time. Or so says my husband. There was no complaint of anything until I got a new, high end, device. Then, all of a sudden, he had a complaint about everything until I got him a device for himself.
I agree that it's more likely to be a problem with the charger. It's always the first thing I check with this kind of problem.
A related question for you all: I just started using the itaste vv, and wonder if it can be charged on a regular eGo charger as well as the mini USB one that it comes with. (I ask because that's the case w/ my Joyetech eGo passthrough.) Has anyone tried this?
Smart man keeping the wife happy first.
LOL! No. More like letting the wife be the guinea pig and then stealing the wife's vape gear when he comes across anything he likes. Both of his iTaste VVv3's were mine to start with. We both started with generic, variable volt, ego's. I upgraded quickly because I loved all the flavors and I love to tinker. He insisted that the egos were enough for him when I offered to buy him a VVv3 so I only bought one. The VVv3 hit so much better that within days he claimed his egos weren't working and took the VVv3's. Said the egos were why he couldn't drop those last few cigarettes per day. So, I upgraded again to the MVP 2 and ordered an extra VVv3 for my stealth vape. He took the second VVv3 as well, claiming to want a cig when his was charging and the egos did no good as back up. I ordered another MVP 2 and offered it to him for one of the VVv3's back. He refused. Didn't like the box shape in his hand after using the MVP at night while I slept. That's how he tests my stuff to see if he likes it. While I sleep. I wake up and find my stuff drained. He won't admit to liking vaping or wanting anything. He just "needs" whatever he likes and winds up keeping it.
I recently upgraded to a Provari Mini. Got it in pink on purpose. Still woke to drained batteries, but he wasn't insisting that I leave it home for him during the day this time. The stories of faulty equipment DID start thought. The battery pins kept getting pushed down on the iTaste's so he claimed. Once I got home, they'd miraculously be working fine. Then, one of them won't hold a charge for long and the other wasn't giving a good hit. Haven't measured how long the one he claimed was dying is lasting yet, but the one he claimed was giving a bad vape is working fine. Just had to set the watts a little higher. It was on 5.5. I also upgraded from carto tanks to Kayfun style tanks and all his cartos suddenly were giving a burnt taste after half a day according to him. Thankfully I had two Kayfuns and was able to give him one of those right off the bat. The complaints kept coming, so I picked him up a full size, black Provari from the classies last week. It arrived on Saturday, and he stalked that mail like I do for the first time ever. Kept going outside to take a peek. Denied that was what he was doing, but when it arrived his father, who lives on the other side of our two family duplex, brought it to our door. Said he noticed his son kept looking in the mail box. When it arrived, I prepared myself to go through a lengthy tutorial on the menu, but he started flipping through it like a pro right off the bat. He never really bothered to learn the iTaste VVv3's menu and just had me set it and forget it. He had been practicing with mine quite a bit before his arrived I think.
So no, it isn't an effort to keep me happy. It's more his own desire to not admit to enjoying something he would normally deem as "geeky". He was the sports star/baseball captain in school. I was always the techie geek. He watches what comes in the mail for me, plays with it at night while I'm sleeping, and if he likes it he just somehow winds up keeping it.
well it stopped charging while i was using it as a passthrough. The battery was in the yellow while i was using it plugged in and then the light went off. When i plug it in and smack it with my hand the lights flash like its going to start charging but the light never comes on.
No, I don't think so... The top of the iTaste is a bit taller then a typical ego. Not sure it would work. I always try to stick with the charger that was meant for the device for battery safety and health. Chargers charge at different rates, and its better for the battery to stick with what was made for that specific device. In the case of the OP, I would order another iTaste charger.
I have a samsung smart phone. Most of the samsung phones come with the same charger. Even my kindle uses the same charger. As long as its the same style connection it will charge.

Please check the power output of the charger though. If it sends too much for the iTaste at once, it isn't safe.
Do the lights flicker when you wiggle the charger around were it connects?

Not sure on the specs, but you can get a charger here for $4.95 for the VVv3.

Just keep your eye on it I guess.... Be careful until you get another. Generally, larger batteries can take it at a higher rate then smaller ones.
It's just a connection cord it's not a charger..the middle is just a spool to wind up the cord..
make sure the contacts are clean and there are no pinches in the cord..

Do NOT use an ego charger. The topper connection on the Itazte is output ONLY, not for charging. You will likely damage the VV3, the charger or both.
