Waiting on a paycheck - and waffling on the priorities; new flavors for my early forays into DIY or a much needed MVP2. Passthrough Ego is getting near the end of its life.

I ordered one for my Mom as a replacement for her Ego batteries. In the brief amount of time I played with it, I liked it. I did seem to have to press the button in a specific manner in order to fire it. However, I'm sure it would become second nature if I were to use an MVP on a regular basis.
I'm passing on getting the 2.0 since I already have the 1.0. Plus, the VTR should be out soon, so I might pick that up instead of the MVP 2.0.
i watched pbusardo do a review on it and said its wattage output was all over the place kind of funky.
I got one from a coop around a week ago. I sold my MVP 1 on the classifieds. I'm glad I upgraded. The 2.0 has the features that the 1.0 should have had. It is a great device and worth the investment.
It is nice to have an ohm meter to check the resistance of my RBAs

I purchased mine from a local brick & mortar last week.
The PBusardo and VapinGreek reviews are pretty much right on. I knew I was going to be in love with the MVP v2, and I'm not disappointed.
It's solid, sturdy, and easily the most rugged vaping device I own. I have no hesitancy about dragging it around town with me on rush-hour busses and having it not withstand some normal urban punishment.
I timed the battery as best I could. Hitting the trigger button about 35 times an hour, I'm consistently getting 20 hours of use before the charge light turns yellow. I haven't had opportunity to let it get down to red yet. One reviewer someplace said you need to really try to get the MVP battery to run fully down, and I believe it.
Originally I didn't think I'd have much use for the charging output for iPhones etc. Since getting the MVP however, I've found it useful for charging e-cigarette stick batteries.
Paired to a cardo and ego cone, Protank Mini, or Evod the setup is pretty sleek looking to my eye. I like how it fits in my hand.
re: the trigger button
All the talk about it needing a lot of pressure is true. I don't really mind that though. The puff-counter (really a button-press counter) tells me I'm hitting the trigger 500+ times each day. The stiff button gives me some confidence that it will take 15,000 trigger presses each month without falling apart. That said, I am getting a slight callous on my thumb, which might bother some folks. The other thing I like about the stiff button is, I can throw it into a book bag and not have to worry about it accidently triggering.
My only negatives about the device is the LED and P V buttons don't function consistently when the MVP is charging and is being used as a passthrough. Sometimes, I press either or both of the buttons, and the LED fails to come on. Other times it works. I haven't really looked through the instruction flier which came with the kit -- for all I know, these sometimes-functions/sometimes-not buttons might be documented, but it's certainly not intuitive. It's not a critical issue for me; more an annoyance.
When not plugged in for charging, the P V buttons and LED always operate as expected, and that's all I really care about.
My only other negative is, out of the box, the LED window had several scratches on it.
I'm not greatly bothered by the Output On/Off button on the bottom not allowing the MVP to be placed solidly on a table, though I'd rather it could without wobbling. I'm accustomed to laying down an Ego Twist on it's side, and I just do the same with the MVP.
I wasn't at all impressed with how Innokin's carrying holster for this device looks -- too clunky and large for my tastes.
I'm carrying my MVP around in a leather Body Glove Universal Cellphone Case which I got from Radio Shack 5 years ago. I don't know if they still sell them, but I've seen them on eBay in a six or seven dollar range.
The case has a 1" top flap centered over the 2 1/2" width of the case which, when the MVP is shoved to one side, permits an Evod or cardo on the MVP to stick out from the top like an old-style cellphone antenna -- which leaves on the other side of the case a 5/16th inch space to fit a small juice bottle, cardo, etc. The top flap of the case closes magnetically, and the belt clip is sturdy. Except that the fit of the MVP is a touch too snug, the case could have been intentionally designed for this device.
The MVP is my first piece of vaping gear beyond Ego Twist/ProTank sort of rigs. There's enough familiar about it to make it easy to use, and enough unfamiliar ( meaning "variable wattage" ) to make it a non-intimidating learning experience. For the price, it's the most delightful purchase I've made for vaping yet. All in all, I think it's a lovely piece of tech.

My first vaping setup! (from 3 days ago). MVP 2 in front, sort of blends in with table

Nice write-up! Been loving my MVP 1.5 and looking forward to V2 in the forthcoming months.
I am currently trying to decide between a MVP V2 or a Vamo V3. I am not sure which one I will go for.
I just got mine from ivape.net, great folks to do business with, the 2.0 looks great, I checked the button, seems to be okay, I guess I will be in thumb exercises! Thanks for the review, great points, I'm figuring this will work for sitting at my desk, seems big for taking out around town, we'll see. I think it is a great alternative to the other devices. I have a provari mini, it works just right. The MVP 2.0 will be 2nd in the rotation, I'm thinking it will be a good change for now, instead of some of the big "light sabers"...Thanks again for the great feedback.

I am liking this thing also. The long battery life just blows me away. I am with everyone else with the cons; Fire button stiff, and on of switch on the bottom sticking out. They don't discourage me but I would like to take it apart and replace that fire button. I am not sure if anyone has taken this apart yet. I was just curious if the switch was built into the control board or separate? I like the silver plate display as well. This is my 1st box mod, and was waiting for this to come out in a var. Watt and ohm measurement. It is nice not to have a round mod not rolling around without a holder for it.
My husband and I both went and got our mvp v2's! Absolutely love it! I like how the beauty ring doesn't sit over the edge like the v1. I also, unlike a lot of people that I've read, like the power button. My hubby got the carbon black and it looks sharp. I ended up getting the silver cause I wanna wrap it. We also both got a MAP tank (threw some boge LR laser punched cartos) and oh my Lord. I've been vaping wrong all this time, lol. I'm thoroughly enjoying my mvp v2 and I don't think I could have picked anything better for my first mod.
How is everyone else doing with theirs? What's your setup?
