When there are add-ons to a product, it usually increases the profit margin. The MVP series are known for toughness/durability and the power management. They aren't the most stylish, nor are they made of light materials, but they have few, if any complaints about quality. Just follow the threads about mod problems and you won't see many/any about the MVPs. Love all mine.

Wonderful! That's what I like to hear! I did some research and it seems like the MVP line of products sound great.

I recently received an eleaf-istick 50w... After doing more research (didn't beforehand... Big mistake) they sound extremely dangerous. I don't even want to use mine now. Looking forward to the MVP3 Pro as a great replacement.

The MVP3 Pro is my 3rd MVP (got a 2 and a 3 also) and I love it so far. That man above said it well, he advised me when I got my first 2. I'd say the pro is better than the iStick 50 (I have one of those as well and mine has been ok but it was one of the first ones that hit the market). The battery life is longer, the battery is more durable and there's more watts! You made a good choice.
I like the iSub. I think it's got great flavor and it puts out some clouds! (if you poke the coils), but I don't know that I would put it in the same class with say a Kanger subtank. There's a bit of a price difference there too tho and for a beginner or someone on a budget I think it's fine. I'm vaping an RY4 at 35 watts in mine right now.

Your istick should be ok.... should lol. If you keep using it, keep a very close eye on it. I believe you'll be very happy with that MVP. I've heard really good things about the tank coming with it as well. Cheap coils, vapes great, built solid. I think you made a good choice.

I need something solid and reliable for daily use, and after a little research, I decided it's right for me. I'm excited. :)

Istick - impending doom stick. Lol. I hate that I have to take my atty off while it's unattended, and that I can't charge it unattended. Renders it useless to me, what a giant pain. I'm already afraid that something is going to happen, and I keep checking back if I leave it in a room. It's ridiculous. I'll be much happier with something that probably won't ever catch fire. Lol!

I have the regular MVP 3 and it's definitely a solid device. I love that it performs well with no issues. I dislike that it's heavy, pointy corners, and big. But, I use it at home and bring my other vapes out. It is quality though, no doubt. Yours is just more powerful with a little better mah. I'm assuming you maybe use a purse so you're all good. It ripped a hole in my jeans pocket though lol.

And this is why I wear my mod in my gun belt ;)

Just a heads up, the ones that did have problems mostly started to malfunction way before the other problems appeared. I realize how scary having something in your hand that could catch on fire is, so I can sympathize with getting that MVP. I'm glad you got over your dislike of Innokin btw ;).

Oh geez! Lol that sucks. I'll be good with that, I actually bought one of those travel carrying cases, with a couple different compartments. I carry all my vape stuff in there, and it goes into my gigantic purse. Makes my purse pretty heavy as I carry about 2-3 mods and 2-3 pen style batteries, plus attys, juice, q tips, paper towels and sometimes chargers. As I write this I'm realizing I don't need to bring that much. Ahhh! But it is nice to have all my stuff with me, very prepared I suppose. :p

Actually I was a little biased because I have an innokin itaste vv and it kinda sucks! Lol lasts two hours on a full charge. Reading about the MVP stuff made me realize that their mods are a different ball game. I stand corrected! ;)

You just bring what you need to bring to make yourself comfortable. I have a travel toiletries tote that I carry all my stuff in. Saturday I left it at home. Of course, that is the day I have an equipment malfunction!:shock:

Hey, that itaste is still way better than most other pen style egos. I'm not super attached to any particular brand, mostly because I would convince myself to not try awesome products. I see people all the time that say, "All my kanger tanks have leaked. That's why I'll never get another one." With how many tanks Kanger has put out the past few years, it's a little bit crazy to think someone has wrote off an entire company based off of experience with different models. Good on you for making a leap there though.

It is nice, it's just the battery life that I didn't like. Any idea what innokin's customer service is like? I'd be interested in knowing more about that.

I have the MVP 3 Pro and it's a nice little mod (I didn't really need another mod, but I bought it because it was gold). The iSub G is not a bad tank. The drip tip is plastic (delrin?) with a metal sleeve covering it. The one problem with the drip tip is when condensation builds up a bit, the drip tip comes loose and can easily come off. For example, with the Subtank Mini, the drip tip fits so snug, you can actually lift up your tank and mod just by pulling up on the drip tip. With the iSub G, you can't do this and the drip tip will just pop off.

One nice feature of the iSub coil is that they cover the coil with a wire mesh, so even if the juice pops and explodes on you, you will not get hot juice splashed up into your mouth. The downside is the coil will pop LOUDLY when it has been sitting for a while and you go to vape on it. What's also nice is the coils are cheap. A package of 5 coils run less than $10.

One tip for the iSub coils. Take a sharp pin and poke the cotton in the juice wick holes to loosen up the cotton a bit. The cotton is packed so tight that when I did not learn to do this, the coil only worked well for the first tank. After the first refill, I was consistently getting dry hits and I would keep having to lower the wattage more and more and taking shorter hits to avoid a dry hit. Once I started poking the cotton with a pin and loosened up the cotton, I have gone through 4 tanks on the same coil and not a single dry hit.

Depends on where you bought it. Innokin authorized retailers are expected to provide a 90 day warranty on mods, and they do have an after sales service center in NC. I don't know anybody that has had to use it personally, but googling shows promise lol

Lol yep. I now just use a little 30w istick for work. I have really active job so it was stupid to carry a big *** mod around anyway lol.
In my time at work not wearing a gun belt (job I have is pretty weird), I have quite a few excess pockets and generally work out of my shop. I keep all of my vape gear, the whole tool box, at my desk lol.
