So I'm thinking about getting the MVP, and I wanted to ask for everyone opinion on it. Basically I vape fairly often almost all day and I'm looking for something more portable and something that won't leak in my pocket. So the MVP looks perfect for me.

Although, I would like to know how the quality is. I currently have an eGO and I like it alot, but would prefer more vapor. I know the MVP uses eGO threading, so would the vapor output be basically the same as the eGO?

I'm heading to the store to check it out in a few hours, so help me decide if I should buy it or not :D

Well first off the MVP won't effect leaking. Leaking is your tank.

That said I have a iTaste MVP and it rarely gets used. I pull it out once in awhile but for the most part it collects dust. The eGo twist IMO works just as well but due to its size is much nicer to run around with outside of home.

I have a handful of mods and I have to say that the MVP gets used the least amount. TBH I wish I never bought it as its $45 price could have gone to something much better.

It does work well but I find I prefer just about everything else I have to it. And for on the go vaping, its just too big IMO. I prefer the little eGo twists, or X6 battery.

I think you might find that you never truly move on from the eGo. The eGo Twist is such a good little battery with good voltage range that even now after buying a bunch of different mods I still use my eGo's daily.

But yeah there are better mods for sure. The Vamo V3 for one is a killer mod and of all my VV mods its my favorite. The K100 is a great mech mod and its cheap too.

The MVP is smaller than the Vamo and has a crazy long battery life but I prefer the vamo HANDS DOWN. the performance is just better IMO. Plus you can put the smaller battery in it to make the Vamo shorter.

thanks for the input. Would there be anything (on the cheaper side) you can recommend for someone that is starting to move on from the eGO?

Are you wanting to go away from the tanks and atomizers AND the batteries, or just the tanks and atomizers? The Joyetech brand seems to have a great reputation for its batteries and they can be used with a number of juice vehicles. I'm starting to go the clearomizers route but sticking with eGo batteries. The MVP is one non-Joyetech battery that does interest me though...

Yeah, mainly the tanks and atomizers. All the ones I have start to taste burnt unless i take them off and put them on again to let air in, but thats another topic.

I'm just looking for something convienent, that won't make a mess and I can vape on it for decent periods of time. EDIT: I'd like to also add, something that provides a good amount of vapor. (Sorry if I'm asking for too much)

Just got my iTaste MVP a few days ago. I have several mods (including Smoktech VV and mech Grippers, Segelei V8, Silver Bullet and BB, VMod, and two Provari's), and I have to say that I've been gravitating to what I consider to be the smaller size and box-shaped mods over the large tube mods. The MVP fits into this category well.

The MVP is a very well constructed SS body, an ideal size and shape (for me) that can easily fit in a shirt or front pants pocket. I've only been using the two i-Clear clearomizers that came with the MVP. My cartotanks, for whatever reason, are not working on the MVP, either with or without the included vanity ring extension. I suspect there is no connection electrically between the carto and the MVP's top connector. This is disappointing as cartotanks are my preferred delivery device.

The MVP is a solid, well built workhorse whose battery will last you a good 2-2 1/2 days before you need a recharge. It's small in the hand and easily fits in your pocket. The MVP can also charge your cell phone in a pinch. And can be used as a passthru while it's charging!

The ego/510 threading means you can use the iclear16s or iclear30 that comes with it, and which produce lots of vapor, and a clean solid flavors and a warm, medium draw. The ego-510 threading means you can use everything from Stardusts to Evods to Protank/Puritank/Vision Victory Tanks, to cartotanks, dripping atomizers or cartomizers.

Because of the solid, metal build, it is slightly heavier than an average Ego Battery, but not by much. It fits comfortably in the hand, as well as the pocket. It can be dropped or kicked without a scratch and is coated to be slip resistant. The 3.3 -5 volts setting means you can rock low 1.8 ohms to higher without missing performance.

Since you already have back-up batteries, the MVP is a proven performance winner with a legion of fans. It kicks out the power and lasts for days on a single charge. You really can't go wrong for a VV battery that will last for years to come.

I agree with jefsview on everything except battery life i can only get a day out of it. (i chain vape all day tho)

I just picked one up as well. My usual set up is a K100 with a nimbus and a .5 ohm coil. I have been inexplicably drawn to the MVP since i first saw one. I love the form factor and the battery life is great. Coming from a mech mod, i find the voltage adjustment alone to be "feature rich" I put a tank of juice on it and vape all day, adjusting the voltage as i go.

I bring the mech out for bar trips and outings because it is small and with an 18350 i can almost hide the entire thing in my hand. It even fits in the watch pocket of my jeans comfortably. But, i'm honestly getting a bit tired of having to drip every 5-10 hits. The MVP and a Kanger protank is where its at for everyday use IMO.

As my collection of delivery systems grow, i will prob pick up a vv/vw device so i can just set my watts and go. Hopefully there is a version 2 of the MVP by then, because the Vamo, and similar devices, are just way too big for me.

You adjust the volts for performance, i.e. flavor, vapor, throat hit. Sometimes you might have a 1.8 ohm coil, which means you only need about 3.6 -3.8 volts. Another device might have a 2.8 ohm coil, which means you needs about 4.3-4-8 volts for best performance.

If you're running a dual coil 2.4 ohm, you would need around 4.1-4.3 volts or more.

Adjust to your own preference in regards to flavor, vapor production and throat hit.

I just started vaping, and after doing a good amount of research, I bypassed the whole eGo baseline and went to a iTaste 3.0. The square shape, self-contained small form and VW capability all contributed to my decision.
I don't know if I'm developing an addiction to Innokin or I just want to firm up my non-eGo profile, but I ordered a MVP - knowing full well that there's a MVP 2.0 in the works. When they come out, I'll get both the MVP 2.0 and the upcoming VTR. As I tend to wear mostly Carhartt cargo pants/shorts with lots of Innokin shaped pockets, I think the basic MVP shape is perfect for my needs.

Still sorting out the whole clearo/carto/tank programe... if that's even possible. :D

ok, so say I do get this unit. What exactly does adjusting the volts on the battery do? produce more vapor or less? or is it to save more battery?
Being able to adjust the voltage is useful in at least two ways:

You are able to adjust the voltage to the resistance (ohm rating) of your juice attachment's best performing range. The below Safe Vaping Power Chart shows how to match a certain ohm juice device with a certain range of voltage or wattage.

You are also able to adjust the voltage to the particular flavor that you are using. Some flavors are best realized with either low voltage or higher voltages...their so-called "sweet spot". For example, fruit flavors may taste best at lower voltages; coffee or tobacco flavors better at higher voltages.

Some people like to "turn up the heat" for a warmer vapor, much like an analog. Others prefer a cooler vape, and will prefer to keep the voltage lower.

Another happy MVP owner. Solid and dependable VV unit, with a long life battery.

I use Kanger t3, Evod, Protank, CEx, and carto tanks on it. Only issues I've had with some carto tanks is the locking ones - the beauty ring prevents the connection, but without it, vapes fine.

The VV3 is also a nice little unit, VV and VW although some sites still call it out as VV. And most sites also only list it as 510 threaded, but mine is 510 / ego threaded, so it takes most toppers. At only 800 mAh it may not make it through your day, depending on how much you vape, but it's pass-thru as well, so that may be a viable option.

As said, the topper is what's going to produce the vapor or leaks. While the VV / VW will allow you to fine tune your vape to your preferences, no matter what the topper. In general, top coil units like the Nova and CEx will give a slightly warmer vape, bottom coils like the T3 and Evod slightly cooler.
