Help for an upgrade

[sellersj27]

I am currently using an ego/evod setup and love it....I decided that I needed a backup, so I started shopping around. I really like the iTaste MVP and the vamo. I think I am leaning on the MVP...but wanted input from anyone who has either before purchasing. On a side note...has anyone used their debit card on fasttech's website? I wasn't sure if I should get a prepaid card to use or not. Thanks!!!

The Vamo is significantly better than your eGo. It's VW which is close to "set & forget". It has a 5 amp switch, unlike the ego, which has a weak 2.5 amp switch. The batteries cost $11 and will last 2 - 3 times longer than an ego battery.

Most end up with the ego as the back up. In the iTaste group, I would look at the iTaste V3 over the MVP.

I had the Vamo and just ordered the MVP from fasttech. I use them quite often as you can't beat their prices anywhere.

The main difference between the VAMO and MVP is that the Vamo is VV and VW where the MVP is just VV. But, with the MVP, you can use it to charge other devices and the battery lasts a long time.

It really depends on what you are looking for. I didn't care for the Vamo because it felt so cheap. So for my VW needs, I use an SVD or a Sigelei ZMAX telescoping.

You'll definitely be getting a size upgrade with the Vamo. With the power advantages it holds over the eGo, I was thinking about getting one myself for the house and keep my eGo Twist for on the go and at the office.

I'm curious myself about Fasttech - haven't ordered from them yet, but some of those prices are too good to pass up.

I have a vamo and love it. It's vv and vw. Don't know if the other is. Plus checks ohms on the coil. I'll be using that since I'm starting to rebuild coils. I use paypal so I can't say about using a credit card. Go here and set up a paypal account.

If not it would be safer to use a prepaid.

Is VW that much better than VV? The only thing that I wasn't sure of with the Vamo was that I would have to tote batteries and a charger when I travel....There isn't an option to plug it in to charge, is there?

That charge feature is what hooked me!!!

With the Vamo, you would have to bring batteries and a charger.

The only difference between VV and VW is that with VW, the vape will be the same at a certain wattage no matter what resistance your atty is. With VV, you would need to change it for different Ohm coils. They both get you to the same place, just in different ways.

The MVP is more similar to an eGo twist. You can only set voltage, and there is no Ohm meter. The MVP doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some other mods, but coming from an eGo, it is still an upgrade.

I have ordered from Fasttech many times and never had a problem. I only pay using Paypal, so I get the Paypal protection.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered the MVP from fasttech....let the waiting game begin!!!

Shouldn't be too bad. I ordered mine on the 4th and it shipped within hours. I figure about a week for it's journey.

This is why I mentioned the two I did. VW is a better means to regulate power, IMO. Since it self regulates itself, it provides a consistent vape. Unfortunately, some don't understand VW.

But if you wanted the form factor of an ego, along with being able to charge it as you vape as well as being VW, the best option is the iTaste V3 instead of the MVP.

For most, the Vamo will provide 10 - 15 hours of vape time on a charge. So unless you are going to be out overnight, the need to carry an extra battery is small.

I started off much like you about 2 months ago. Luckily my friend opened a vape shop near where I live. From there I bought an eVic with a protank which I love. Vape clouds are huge but the taste wasnt just quite doing it for me. However compared to the eGo setup it was way beyond in vaping capabilities. The next logical step for me was mechanical. At only about 1 month into the hobby I bought an M28 MOD with an AGA T2 tank. My friend built the first coil for me but after a few videos I was making my own. I think serious vapers will all eventually go to MODs because the taste and cloud production are simply incomparable. Correct me if im wrong though..

Note some of my friends who started at the same point ended up getting Pro-varis instead of the eVic. I have not tried a Vamo.

hey mine shipped on the 5th of july also! (friday?)
itaste mvp, silver, iclear 30, fasttech
lets see who gets theirs first!!

You will like the MVP. It is somewhat heavy but as said previously, it lasts a long time and you can charge it with the supplied power cord. It takes several hours to charge....If I remember right about 4 to 5 hours. I keep mine in the car/truck as I do a lot of traveling.

That's a deal....as long as I'm not too excited and forget about it!!!

I finally caught up with 1999 and made a PayPal account. . Thanks for the help!

the itaste mvp is great we have it at our shop and sells fast!

MVP seems to be a great device I dont own one but I've played with one a few times at my local vape shops .I have a VAMO, EVIC and SVD .I dont recommend the VAMO if you going for VAMO type I highly recommend the SVD if you want all the bells and whistles then the EVIC ...but if you want a box type then MVP you will be happy with it. the only thing I dont like about the MVP is it doesn't read ohms and I rebuild my attys if it did I would buy one

 

[erik419]

I just ordered a MVP off of Ebay i paid a little extra then Fasttech because it will ship form the us and i should get it Tuesday or Wednesday !

 

[WreckingBrew]

I've used both, and I personally prefer the Vamo. I like the way it feels. It's simple and yet does everything I need it to for the price.

The only downside to the mvp i have found is the center pin can get stuck down so cartos won't work with it. Someone at a local shop told me the juice can get in there and make it stick but to fix it you just need a small screwdriver to work it back up again
