Innokin iTaste SVD vs eGo

[HabsFan]

I have the MVP 2.0 as my main device at the moment, and I absolutely love it. I won't repeat all of the good things that have already been said about, other than to say that they are all true. It really is a great little device for it's size and price. Having said that though, I'm actually considering purchasing an SVD as my "home device", and keeping the MVP as the "on the go" device. For the price of the SVD, and using it as a secondary device, I'm willing to take the chance on some of the known issues that may happen. The other alternative is a Vamo V5, and I've decided to keep away from that one based on the numerous issues I've read about.

I agree with Completely Average that you're much better off buying a DNA30 clone in comparison to a VTR. As nice as the VTRs are, the price point simply puts you in a position to buy the much better (in my opinion) DNA30 clone.

Ability to go from 3wats to 15 watts seems pretty impressive for a disposable type eGo Battery. That's what is sounds like on paper, does it really have as much as power as something like a SVD or Vamo when going to higher watts/volts?

Short answer , no , I have one , it's fine for clearomisers but for driving heavier gauge coils in an RBA it falls flat on it's face , I love my SVD , it's been one tough mod , taken numerous falls on to concrete and it's 9 months old and going strong , while the MVP is a great device it has one shortcoming , it's limited to 11 watts , which is ok but I find myself at higher wattages most of the time .

40$ for the vision spinner 1 is really high. The brick and mortar where I bought my spinner 900mah was for 30. The Spinner II was 45 there last time I checked.

You can get it really cheap from fast-tech for about $15 bucks, (although it does take a long time to ship, maybe 2-3 weeks) but it does seem to be authetnica product. It comes in really nice Vision box that I thought was nifty. The spinner II does have more oomph than the original model.

Oh yes. I knew that price was crazy high, but I was leaving the country for a couple of weeks and didn't want to be stranded without an extra battery. And that B&M is the best one I've found in LA. Thanks for the link. I'll will probably just order a spare from FastTech just in case.

Strange but true: I tried to place a FastTech order in China so I wouldn't have to endure the wait, but the website was blocked.

Get the E-LVT, same chipset as the svg, replaceable battery, and nearly indestructible. I'd pick a panasonic 3200mah to go in it though....

You might also want to look at the Ego-V V3 Mega. It comes with a charger cable and evod-like clearomizer for less than 24 bucks.
I probably would have bought that instead of the spinner 2 if I knew about it. It's supposed to do vw as well as vv and can go from 3w to 15w, which makes it seem more powerful that the a normal disposable ego type battery. It seems like almost as powerful as an apv like vamo or SVD

Hey anybody who has this model, do you think it is better than the Innokin iTaste VV ego-type battery? It certainly is more powerful on paper

Very cute. I never thought of that clever characterization as I found website after website blocked. It takes a lot of work to make communism stick in the Internet age.

This is a copy/clone just so you guy know that.

Anything with the word "style" means its a copy. It says "Authentic" in the headline if its an orginal.
So look out for that when ordering from FT. If you want Authentic stuff that is.

They sell both clones and authentics.
They do not sell authentic vision spinners though.
They've a authentic mvp2 though.

the SVD used to be my daily driver. i bought it in July 2013 and have only had the button lose its clickiness. In between now and then, i've had a nemesis clone and the hana clone. I still use the SVD as an ohm meter

 

[PillowOfJess]

Ok. It's here. I charged it up. Switched on the "On" switch on the bottom. Made sure to hit the firing button 3x like the manual said. Set the VV to 4.0. I put on the T3'D. Fire it up and .... NOTHING! It has already been a long day at work and I am sure I am missing something painfully obvious, but I cannot get this thing to work. The green light comes on when I hold the fire button, but I am not getting vapor. Any thoughts about where my brain is failing me? And yes, I read the manual.

What's here? SVD? SVD doesn't have a bottom switch?

The MVP 2 I mentioned ordering earlier in the thread.

 

[GraCnT]

I have both the svd and the mvp.
I love both and haven't had any issues with either. .. the only downside to the mvp is the battery can only be recharged so many times but at the price point its at that's not a huge issue....
Good luck on either choice!!
Vape happy! !
Eta: I like using the wattage settings, so for me that was the lure for these pv's over the twists

Hi Jess,
You need to turn the 'ON' switch off! That switch is solely to use the USB slot as a power source to charge a phone etc from the MVP. Using it as a power pack so to speak.

Still isn't working. Thanks though. I just know the answer is something so obvious that I will be embarrassed once I solve the issue.

Well I bet it's reading 9.9 ohms.

I had one for a few weeks and really liked it, but then it stopped working It had good battery life and more than enough power for the protanks and lesser tanks I had at the time, plus the pass through charging was really nice, not having to switch mods and screw off tanks all the time to charge was awesome compared to regular egos

My brother had a itaste VV at the same time and I've used it a bit as well - It's hard to say which I preferred, I don't know if my ego dying was an abberration, something I did, or indicative of the quality of the product in general, but I'd probably recommend the itaste v3 to people first, it feels more solid, the pass through is a micro usb, not a mini like the v3 mega, and the extra few watts in power ability isn't really important on most tanks that a beginner has, unless you are planning on putting a RBA/RDA on top of a little vape like that - plus, that itaste is still going strong. I like the battery display of the v3 mega better than the change in light color of the itaste though

 

[SJS71]

Hmmmm. Can you try a couple of things. First, hitting the P&U buttons together should display the resistance. Is this working and what is displayed? Second, did you cycle the device off/on again after restating the switch to off?

Okay! Now we are getting somewhere.

I did power cycle after switching the output power off. I hit both the P and U buttons at once it the display read "non." Apparently, this thing speaks French.

 

[SJS71]

Oui oui!! What is the atomsier you have screwed on to the MVP?
