This chart has been a godsend to this newbie - I reference it all the time!

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.

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?

I think the MVP would be a good mod for your experience level and what you want in a device. I take it around with me on days that I have work and school because it can go through all of that and still have plenty of power left over. With a tank on the end of it, the MVP does get a little big, but really it's only a minor gripe. All in all, I still use my MVP pretty regularly despite having a Zmax, Vamo, and several mechanical mods.

While, the above posts are accurate in detailing what a variable voltage device can do for you, they really don't account for what matters most. Some clearos or juices taste better with more or less voltage. All you do is adjust the voltage to taste. One of your tanks/juices may taste best at 3.8 volts, while another tastes best at 4.2 volts. You just play around with it until you find that it gets you what you like.

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.

Took the words out of my mouth. :)

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.

I have this same issue. some of my better tanks dont work on the MVP. They don't make a connection. But all my T3's and protanks works fine.

What always amuses me about the MVP threads is that the MVP fans never mention that this not inexpensive battery has no Ohm Meter. Sure, it's variable voltage and easy to adjust, but so is my Twist/Spinner. Without the ability to measure resistance in the device, you need to either use another battery that has an Ohm meter or a DMM. Sure, you can vape to taste and adjust to find the perfect vape, but you don't need an MVP to do that. Battery life is excellent and it's a solid performer. I've almost bought it about 30 times. I cannot get around the missing Ohm meter. Maybe version 2. I have a dozen+ variable voltage devices and every single one of them has an Ohm's Meter. I can't live without it personally. That aside, I think I do love the MVP. Unfortunately, it's a deal killer. I can't pull the trigger. Just my two cents...and certainly not interested in a debate about why I don't need a multimeter, because I do. Good luck!

Exactly why i like it. Simplicity of an Ego with awesome battery life and a way better build. At first i cared about the lack of an ohm checker, but being mainly a sub ohm vaper, i already have a multimeter on my desk at most times. I eventually got over it. Egos, on the other hand, tend to loosen where they are glued together when carried in my pocket. I have also had one nearly explode on me. I also feel that the delivery of voltage is much smoother and constant than an ego, but that might be in my head.

I honestly don't feel like checking ohms on standard, pre made vapeing equipment is all that necessary.

Because the original poster is still a newbie and seems most concerned with battery life, I really didn't think he would be itching for a resistance meter in his APV. For someone who is still learning their way around, the MVP is an excellent choice. It is easy to use and the reason I chose it over a spinner/twist is because it also can be used as a pass-through.

The same thing happened to me. I had been using my MVP with carto tanks and it worked ok. But once I put a mini Vivi Nova on it, my carto tanks would not fire on the MVP. My theory is that the post on the MVP was lowered because the 510 connector of the vivis are longer than a regular Boge carto.

So much for my backup mod.

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.

Ok, so I pulled the trigger. And I love this thing, its all I had hoped for and worth every penny. And as far as resistence meters and all that go, while I definitely appreciate the feedback, thats just way over my head at this point in time. I'm still in the early stages and just wanted a step up from the eGO, and I have definitely found it in the MVP.

Thanks for all the help guys!!

Totally agree with you. I don't need an ohm meter, I like an ohm meter for the very reason that I like variable wattage. I vape all day with cartos on my Provari. My point was that no one every mentions it when they extoll the many good virtues of the MVP. I think potential buyers need to know about this stuff. Since you can spend way less on many different APV's and get both an Ohm meter and variable wattage, and because the self-proclaimed king of APV's, the Provari, has one, then why not let the newbs know about it. When changing toppers with different flavors every ten minutes when I first started, I found the vw/ohm meter issue important. That's why I brought it up, not because you must have it, but because it's so helpful. I would never recommend an MVP over a Vamo, but in the right application, an MVP would work fine for me. It doesn't need to be defended, but the lack of an ohm meter needs to be pointed out, and caveat emptor.

Good point, i usually suggest the Vamo v3 for a first mod, if someone doesn't have a bunch of other junk laying around already (like me).

The MVP might be a half assed jump into it for some, who would then want the next level thing with more features.

And i would own a Provari if only it had VW....

Also, I have also noticed my ego tank doesn't fit on the MVP. Is there a good tank that you guys use with your MVP that you could recomend? I actually really like the stock one it comes with, but I'd like to have a backup.

If you like what it came with (I've seen it with a couple of different toppers...) get another of the same?

I personally like the T3 and Evods, but darn near anything will fit and work.
