Yeah, maybe it'd be good to get something more folks can vouch for. I've got a window for that staying open, maybe I'd even buy 2! There's a question if I'll get my money before they run out of stock, though, about 1 to 10 days from now. Must cross my fingers.
Also, has anyone checked out this stainless tank? http://c2cvaping.3dcartstores.com/B...odularity-with-stainless-steel-tank_p_214.htm
Think if I get the MVP2 here, I'll tack one onto my order- perfect for when and where you don't want a fragile glass tank, I'd think so anyways.

Unless it says "Kanger" there's a strong possibility it's a clone. Quite expensive IMO. Looked on Kanger website and they have no SS tank. SS clearomizers never really caught on cuz users can't see how much juice is left.

Yeah, I thought it was a clone, too, but it seemed like it might be a good non-plastic tank for when I don't want to drop a glass tank on the sidewalk. That would be a bummer with my PT2. I did think about not seeing the e-liquid level-I could open it up and check before going out on the town....but, now that I think about it, I suppose I would only need a smaller tank for out and about anyways. Maybe there are some decent 2ml stainless tanks out there? I assume that the ss would be non-reactive etc. Well, anyhoo, I've got time to research all this stuff.

I just read a thread about the MVP2's, now I'm becoming magnetically drawn to them-I prob will have to buy one now. I hold you folks responsible! ;)

If you really like the PT..but are wanting something you can take out and about and not have to worry about them breaking if dropped...AND you don't mind a smaller tank size...then I'd suggest a Kanger Evod. I have 4 of these and they are just about the only tank I now use. They aren't quite as airy as the Protank...and you can't change the drip tip out, but..the good thing about them is you can use their heads on a PT..so if you get a 5 pack of heads, you can use them on the PT as well. My husband really likes the PT and his Davide..he likes the Davide better than the PT...but even the Davide will use a Evod/PT head...it's sooo convenient having all these different tanks, but they all use the same heads. You might actually be better off/cheaper to buy the Spinner batteries (IF you are still leaning towards that) separate and not in a kit...since you are wanting different tanks. Cause lets face it guys...we've ALL went through loads of tanks and what not, until we've found what works for US.

My husband and I now both have a Vamo..but we still use our Spinners every day..but I'm thinking about, for Christmas, getting him either the MVP v2..or the VTR...I'm REALLY liking the looks of the VTR from Innokin. The weight doesn't bother me..cause like Vapoor eyes stated...most people keep their heavier MODS for at home..and we pretty much stay at home all the time anyhow.

Oh to be a new Vapor again..I remember coming here, just like you, full of wonder and questions...so many new, shiny toys to choose from! I'm really enjoying this thread! Probably too much..because now you've got me wanting to go out and buy new toys! haha!

Moohaha! (my evil laugh)....Yeah, I'm lusting after all sorts of shiny, new things :) I got 2 EVOD's with my current kit, I like how they perform, but I'm more comfortable with glass- or maybe stainless steel.
I've been considering getting one of the Davide's, and now they've got this dual coil model: New Anyvape Davide Glassomizer BDC Dual Coil 3.0ml - 2 Coils [gv-AnyVapeDavideBDC-CLEAR] - $21.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more sez you can also use the regular coil heads as well. Tempting...
I've been looking at Vision Spinners and similar batts a-la-carte, and there are some nice ones for decent prices (when they're still in stock). However, I think I need another charger, and maybe another wall charger adapter, then, the kits that I'm now focusing in on also give me options with tanks- including Protanks and without stuff I don't need. Seems to be a better deal with the MyVaporStore kit, or the SweetVapes kit. If I can find somewhere that has a really good deal on those kind of batts and such, that could be good- but it seems like the really good deals on Spinners 900-1300mah are hard to find and sold out. I guess there are maybe 1 or 2 that would be an ok deal at one certain place, but they don't have the right kind of charger in stock, and I'm really wanting to get all of my soon forthcoming hardware from one shop, in one shipment, if I can. Maybe I should just go for it and buy another charger at a local B&M shop, didn't occur to me before. Idk which place would be best for a Spinner or a Smoktech Winder. Seems like the the Joye's are always more expensive for similar models, and some folk here say that the Visions are easier to adjust and whatnot.

If c2 Vaping runs out of the MVP2's before my cash comes in....I noticed that MadVapes has the MVP2 for $57.95 and this VV: iTaste VV Batteries I can't tell if this is the new version or an older one. Is it a good deal for $39.95?

The MVP V1 without the Ohm Meter or variable wattage and with button problems is not even in the universe with the MVP 2.0. A previous link by Vapoor Eyes showed the MVP 2.0 at under $47. Don't discount the Sigelei V3 yet either. If you can, go to a good vape shop and check them both out. Hold them, the heft, the feel, the quality....it really is the only way to be sure, of course, after asking the Forum, watching at least 3 videos on all items under consideration, etc. Also, remember when you buy the MVP, the battery is internal, so when the battery dies (300 -500 charges), you have to replace the whole battery. It's the only negative about the APV, imho, but an important one. With a replaceable battery APV, you have the additional cost of charger and batteries, but you just replace the batteries when they die. Also, the Sigelei telescopes meaning you can change the form factor, and batteries, make it short and stealthy when out, and or big and longer lasting when at home. The flexibility is a consideration, as is the quality. If you love stainless the way I do, once you check them both out, well, you're just going to know, and it may just be the MVP 2.0! Feels awesome, but the Sigelei in 350 mod is tiny, then in 650 mode is full size, and it looks great in both. It's a tough one. Told you it was a close call. Please go see them, watch the videos on both. You still have time to check everything out to your satisfaction.

The batteries and charger are just as important as anything else, and probably most important. Don't skimp on either. For chargers, the Nitecore and Xtars are very popular and very cheap at Fasttech where I got both my I2 and I4. Batteries from RTD Vapers. Both links shown previously. Multiple shops for the best gear just makes a lot of sense.

Listen to BMV folks, he knows stuff. :thumb:

You are too kind! Finished my GearQuest recently. Got the last pieces this month, two months early. My GG stuff that I have wanted for so long. In stead of wading my way through the mech world, I just leaped to GG/Ithaka, and now I'm done. How have you been? OP is trying to decide on upgrades. I think either 2 iTaste 3.0's and an MVP 2.0 or two iTaste 3.0's and the Sigelei V3. What do you think the OP should do?

I would say expand Evod kit. That is what Ive done over the last 5 months. Here is what I have.
2 Kanger Evod 650 batteries.
3 EGO T 1200 batteries.
1 EGO 650 pass thru.
9 Kanger Evod clearomizers.

The Evod clearomizers you cant have enough of because I have broken a few from repeatedly dropping and I clean them after every tankful of juice so some have to dry as I use the others.

I do get that feeling!
Oh, yeah. I did check out the code for the VV V3 and got it to work. For $137.93, I can get 2 VV V3's, one MVP2 and priority mail shipping, $2.95 more for $100 insurance or $3.95 for $200 insurance. Maybe another PT2 or Mini PT2, both on sale ATM. This could be just the ticket, wouldn't save much buying 2 large Vision Spinners over the 2 VV V3's. Now if these tasty sales will last a while, I think I'll be in business!
Checked out the holders and skins at j-wraps, pretty cool. Now I'm wondering if there are any other good places to look for skins for both of these iTaste models? The MVP2 is unavailable in Black or Carbon Fiber finishes at iVape ATM, Rugged Steel will be fine for now, but I think it could maybe use a little something.

edit- Didn't see the last 3 posts before posting this.

If I don't end up with the two VV V3's, I most certainly will get some sort or setup with some Vision Spinner or Smoktech Winders in the 900-1300mah range, and I think I will need another charger and wall socket adapter to go with those, at the moment have just the one charger w/wall adapter that came with the EVOD kit. It seems the best values (that I've found so far, and which are currently in stock) are the kits from MyVaporStore and Sweetvapes, and both of those allow me to choose glass tanks.
If there's a way to get all the components seperately for a better price I'd love to know about it, but no luck so far. Tends to be what I'd want is either out-of-stock or too expensive. :(
I think I could use at least one or two more clearomizers, and I'm liking my glass tanks (2 ARO's and 1 PT2) better than the EVOD's, but, yes, some of that could be in my head. Also, as folks have suggested, I think I'll have to grab a carto-tank and a basic inexpensive dripping atomizer.

And the MVP2 is just calling my name now, even though at first the box shaped units didn't appeal so much at first

OK, I've found another source or two for the iTaste VV V3 and MVP, with comparable pricing. I think I can get a decent price even if the prices we've been talking about expire, or they run out of stock. Also there's a question about just a simple unit (with either model), or a "full kit", I have to ask, if I get a more "bare bones' kit, can I buy compatible usb chargers seperately? Is there a compatible wall socket/AC adapter to use with both models- essentially anything that won't cause any damage? This is a big question that I haven't thought about or asked until just now. I can't always count on having a functioning computer to plug a usb cord charger into. Also, kind of the same question about Vision Spinners or Smoktech Winders 900-1300mah in both cases. Again, any usb charger and wall socket usb adapters that will work without causing damage. I suppose if I just know the ratings to look for in a charger then I can look it up. I'll do more googling etc. Think I'm close to having this whole "lovely mess" sorted out. Thank's again for all the advice from everybody! :)

Just keep and eye on Vapor Joe...seems as soon as one sale ends another Vendor starts one. Just be very patient. Everything I own vape related was bought on sale.

And the MVP2 is just calling my name now, even though at first the box shaped units didn't appeal so much at first

My last ordered PV was a Vamo V3 from Fasttech 3 months ago. If FT had the Sigelei V3 for sale it would've been my first choice. PBusardo's review, in regards to the Sigelei V2,..."this one is right up there on my list with my Provari". Choices, choices, choices.
I suggested the MVP2 because it is a quality build and isn't too large. Myself I've been using Tube Mods for awhile and the size doesn't bother me sooo if you're not bugged by the size of a Tube Mod ( can be fired in smaller 18350 mode) Sigelei would be a good choice. Also I believe (Bill prolly knows) the MVP2 has a 3 amp limit whereas the Sigelei has a 4 amp limit.
The bottom line- many of these Mods either have or eventually have issues with the PCB and/ or buttons. The two listed here seemed to have gotten thru the test of time and seem to be of far superior build quality as opposed to many other Mods IMO.
