I bought the mpv 2 and love it. Now my son wants one. He's bought a few of the slim type vapes and he wants an Itaste like I have. Is there a big difference with the new 3 model? I'm going to buy him one but the mpv 2 is $38 and the new 3 is $63. Is it worth the extra bucks? I don't understand the technical jargon really so just need an opinion from someone who has used both maybe. Thanks.
Difference between an mpv itaste 2 and 3?

Hey Bombeni!
I have the MVP2, but I've been reading a bit about the MVP3. My understanding is that besides higher Watts output capabilities, it has a longer-lived battery. The charging port is also on the side (I think) and the charging cable is "built-in" You can run subohm coils (down to 0.4 ohms), so the Kanger Subtanks or the Aspire Atlantis can be run on this device. I think they also changed the contact pin (spring-loaded?) so you don't have as many issues about over-tightening a tank and then having to manually pry the pin up. You have to use an adapter to run eGo-threaded tanks because it only has the 510 connector. They also moved the fire button to the narrow side, so it might make it a bit easier.

The price is a touch less, but with $75 purchase, shipping is free....

mvp 2.0 = 11watt max 2400mah?
mvp 3.0 = 30 watt max 3600mah? built in charging cord (for charge through), fixed firing pin issue as Dinger said already. With the 3.0 he will be able to run sub 1ohm coils and run RBA RDA's if he chooses to. With the 2.0 that option is not there. For more info try:

End of the day...buy the 3.0! Better battery, longer life between charging, more options= worth the $30 or so
I have the MVP 2 and love mine also. However, i would love the option to take it higher in wattage, just to see what all the hype is about on the higher wattage models. So i've been looking into the eLeaf 50W, but also like the new MVP 3's that have come out. Don't plan on building coils anytime soon, so guessing the high wattage devices don't do much good on a 1.6-1.8 coil.
Also, i think you can get the MVP 3 cheaper than that, but just check around at different vape suppliers first and i know your son will love it.

Thanks all, sounds like the extra dollars are worth spending. Of course this time next year they'll have the mpv 9999999.

The higher wattage devices like the MVP 3 and the iStick 50W work fine on the 1.6-1.8 coils. Just dial the wattage to around 11-12 watts and it will work great. They don't deliver the full wattage unless you want them to. I have an Aerotank, a Nautilus mini, three Kayfun RTAs, and a Subtank. My coils run anywhere from .5 ohms to 1.8 ohms and they all work great on the iStick 50. I dial the wattage to what I feel is appropriate and get the vape I like with each one. And the charge lasts forever.
Hope you all believe that the only dumb question is the one not asked
If you are just going to use the standard equipment that they come equipped with, would the inhalation effect/the strength of the basic "toke" be a lot stronger in the 30 watt versus the 20? I think that's probably been answered already in this thread, but I don't yet understand ohms, coils, dripping etc etc etc yet. Just need to know if the quality of the inhalation with the standard attachments would be much different. Thanks.
I have a MVP 2 that is over a year and half old. I waiting to see if the MVP 3 price will go down some and will prob get that. I mainly want something to keep in my carry case that I can charge on the go when I need to. You just can't beat the quality of a MVP. I know that the IStick 50 is cheaper in price but its also cheaper in quality.
Yes, I am new to vaping, but I feel this is a great quality item especially for the price. I had expected to spend $75 or more to get equipped with a really nice vape unit. Paid $38 for mine. I do love those wild designs with the crystals, not ready to pay the extra money tho just for that. Maybe next Christmas I'll ask for one, in a 30 watt.

This is coming from a very "lay-person" point of view.... You would need lower ohms to be able to take advantage of the higher watts. If you tried to fire at 30W a "standard" tank, you'd probably either fry the coil or at a minimum, burn the juice. All about the Ohm's/Watts Law equations. "Simple" math - to fire a 2 ohm coil with 8W power, you need 4 volts (W = V^2/R: 8 = 4^2/2) Ohm's Law then says V=IR (volts = current * resistance) 4V/2ohms = 2 amps current draw on the battery. You only set volts *OR* watts on most mods, so, if you set for 4V and have a 1 ohm coil, you'll actually end up with 16W (4^2 / 1 = 16) If you set for 8W, the device will deliver a little over 2.8A (which also translates to 2.8V because of 1 ohm). The MVP2 won't fire that low because lower volt limit is about 3.3V.
Going the other way, if I keep the higher-ohmmed coil (2 ohms) and set the device for 16W, the device needs to deliver about 5.7A (sqrt(16W * 2ohm)) That's a lot of heat on "standard" builds and probably will fry. If it doesn't fry, it will be a super-warm vape, and maybe not pleasant.
So, rambling aside, you have to find the right "combination" of ohms on a coil and either watts or volts to the coil to come up with your "pleasant" vape
HTH
I know the difference between them now, I'm resurrecting this thread to ask something else about the Itaste. I know about the wattage, that it gives the amount of vaping power. But how exactly does the voltage side work alongside the wattage? I've never been real sure how I should adjust the voltage, what number I should dial to. Thanks. I know I'm a dummy with all this.
As you may already know, you can only set volts or watts, you can't adjust them both independently because the values are tied to each other by the resistance of the coil. When you change either watts or volts, the other value will adjust to compensate.
If you set volts, the device will fire at that voltage regardless of what is attached to it. This means that using tanks/atomizers with different resistances will result in higher or lower wattage applied to the coil.
On the other hand, if you set watts, then the device will read the resistance of the attached atomizer and adjust the voltage automatically to deliver the same wattage to any coil you put on it, no matter what the resistance of that coil is.

Thank you bwh You explained that well. I've never paid much attention to the voltage, I've kept the watts around 10.
I've got a MVP20W and an MVP3. I got the 3 for a Sub Tank and then got a couple of Mini Sub Tanks because they fit my batteries a little better, the Subtank is huge. The Subtanks work very well between 20 and 30 watts, below 20 there OK, but taste about the same my Nautilus mini only warm.
At the risk of sounding redundant, I own an iStick50W and an MVP 3. I originally got the MVP as a backup believing that the iStick was the superior more cutting edge product. However I now believe the MVP is superior. Better quality, cleaner wattage, more reliable vape. I got mine for 62 bucks at Mount Baker Vapor in a matter of a few days and they always offer 10% off codes.
