I admit it ... I like Innokin

I'm curious as to why you dislike the SVD? Mine's chugging along nicely, and I'm really impressed by the interface. Build quality feels very good, though there are quite a few stories about buttons failing.

Sure it vapes fine. Really, what doesn't? But, for me the interface sucks. It's the most counter-intuitive one I've ever seen. Different than any other APV, and not in a good way. On top of that, the display is oriented for a lefty (it's upside down). And I'm not a lefty. Then there's the telescoping body. Not a fan. I'd rather have removable tubes such as on a Vamo or Provari. Other than those points, it's well built and solid. Just like all innokin APV's.

I disliked it so much, mine is still virtually brand new. As is my Provari Metallic Bronze V2.5 with green LED display and matching extension.


best regards, larry mac

I'd like to get a glass tank setup for my VV 3. Currently using the Iclear 16's that came with the starter kit, but that limits me somewhat on juice choice.

Favorite tanks that look and work good (pics would be really cool) suggestions appreciated.

I really like the Kanger Mini Pro II on a VV3 for a glass tank. I'm currently trying out some Kanger T3S's for a plastic tank. It holds more juice and has a nice airy draw to it. The first coil in one went belly up but that happens sometimes. Hmmmm...may be something with this tank cuz the second coil is leaking too. The other T3S tank is working great...so far.

You can add me to the failing buttons on the SVD stories. I've had two SVDs and neither one lasted more than 6 months. The first SVD started turning itself off at random times. The problem got worse and worse until it stopped turning on. I believe there is a short in the wire going to the fire button but I cannot get to it to fix it.

The second SVD failed at 6 months when it was sitting on the desk and my wife bumped the desk causing it to fall over. This simple little act broke the fire button so that it was crushed in and would not pop out. Fortunately the safety in the SVD kept it from being stuck firing all of the time, but again, it's construction prevents me from getting inside to fix it.

SVD bodies are $55+ to replace, and I've had two fail in 6 months. I may consider an MVP at some point, but I won't touch another SVD and I'll never recommend one to anyone else. For that size and style, I'm sticking with Vamo or going up to a Provari.

I saw 3 threads here yesterday about MiniPro II problems. Seems like maybe their QC is downhill right now. Seems like everyone that has an older one loves it, but newer purchases are giving folks problems.

I saw misthub was taking pre-orders on that new Innokin glass tank...

Thanks for the input.

I have had nearly the same experience with the SVD. First one turned itself off. Now the replacement after a few days the fire button fails to fire. It is also sporadic getting out of the lock position. I don't think the SVD was Innokin's shinning moment. I have a Cool Fire one which is perfect. Also the entire menu system of the SVD is wacky. The two extra buttons are a pain. They need a redesign with some better quality control. I think they may have rushed this one out.

My only issue with that is, I love the top coil! The 30b is a great tank and works very well, but it does not give me the "flavor" I want out of most of my juices. Maybe they will give me a top coil option in the near future. *crosses his fingers*

When I first saw the 134, the first thing that came to mind was, "I AM your father."
Sheesh! Now I'm wishing it came with a tank that lights up when the button is pressed. Maybe version 2 will come with light saber sounds.

Actually, my first impression was Gatling gun. But "over the top" and "overkill" works for me too. I put a skull drip tip on my 134, hypertank combination and the wife asks me if I can somehow make it longer. Actually, if I were to use the VTR adapter I could add about 2 1/4 inches to it.

If I really felt like showing off I guess I could tuck it in my front jeans pocket.

A 12 inch metallic device that contains batteries... reminds you of " I am you father?"
Yikes...
My dad took me fishing...

How could you possibly miss the most famous movie reference in history?

2 MVP2s and one vv3, I am an Innokin fanboy. I am not getting into the replaceable battery PV's until I can get a ZNA from Zen. I don't care for the flashlight looking pv's, just my preference and the ZNA looks like what I need.... well want lol.

I like the mini PT2 on my vv3 for work, at home I use the MVP2's, and when I am gonna be out of the house for awhile.
