I'm sure I'll like it. I'm getting one regardless. Was just wondering about the hotter voltage. I'm not a technical guy, all I know is that 3v feels like 4v on my 20W iSticks.

The 50w appears to be highly accurate according to German oscilloscope tests. The 30 has a totally different output than the 20 and is not anything like it. It is accurately adjustable to 3v. I expect the 50's to be also as that's what all the reports and reviews are showing. My co-op 50's will be here Wednesday and I'm gearin up for em.

I remembre with many owners that our I20w was great and performed well when new....Now after a few months of linearly use it doesn't work well as new....programmate obsolescency i think.....The 30w and 50w are made with the same theory that if an object last too much and perform well the people don't buy the next versions?

Yes and no. Planned obsolescence is certainly a part of it. But it's also a well-known fact that we are all beta testers for e-cig manufacturers; they introduce a new toy, we complain, they make improvements... :D

It's all part of the game. It's fun--if you don't take it too seriously and don't mind playing. :p

I usually wait for at least one or two revisions before I buy a new product. But sometimes I just feel like I have to have something because my enabling ECF friends have it. :facepalm: That's why I got the iStick 20--against my better judgment. :lol:
 
Hi guys. I'm an MVP 20w user. Love it, but switching teams. MVP is going to be my out of the house /backup battery. The 50w is too hard to pass up for a few reasons.

The wife wants one to lay with now too. Since she doesn't vape much, would the 20w be ok? I know there were thread issues, and rattles, but if it's treated gently, would it negate the issues?

Does the bending adapter fix the thread issues? If I add the bendy adapter, I might as well just get the 30watt instead. I just answered my own question I think.

Can you guys put my mind at ease and tell me the build quality is on par with the MVP?


The bending adapter won't work with the 30W due to the little lip added to the 510 base.
