This is how I hold and fire my MVP20W.

Are the new owners having Any problems what-so-ever with the MVP-3's ??
There are usually small problems during the first runs unless they Beta tested the crap out of it in house...

I think the test period went on with the VV4 which also carries the
32-bit ARM microprocessor, and then the rest of the MVP is tried-n-true
as always…
heavy duty switches, much improved threading, etc. ...

just with the current feature set it is overpriced for todays market – IMO

Give it a couple months and we can pick em' up on the cheap I bet. I'd buy one for 60 bucks today if anyone carried them locally at a B&M but they aren;'t being carried anywhere around me...

Not yet. I really want to complain about the battery life but I can't, because the drain is my own doing lol. DAMN YOU SUBTANK MINI FOR BEING SO AMAZING

    No problems with my MVP3 so far, using with subtank at 23watts with the 0.50ohm coil, after 8 hours of work, battery bar only gone down 1 bar.

    IMO I don't think it is over priced, when look at other 30 watt mods, like the ipv mini or the zero's, and even though have no complaints with the ipv mini, think the build quality is better on the MVP and have longer battery life too.

    What watts are you running the STM @? I run mine at 20W mostly..

    20-24 depending on juice and usually with the 1.2 ohm coil(because I have 6 of them versus the 1 sub ohm coil plus RBA) so I'm using a lot more voltage to get that wattage. I have to charge it almost daily, but that's to be expected with how much I use it. Still lasts longer than my 20W did and I'm using more power(and going through more juice), so overall I'm satisfied with the battery life.

    My husband is wanting to get into rba's and I'm wondering if you all could give me a little advice. We currently use MVP's, VV 3.0, Zmax v5, and I just got my svd 2.0. I think my svd may be the only one capable of sub ohm...is this correct? Also, I've been looking at the kayfun v4 rta, is this a good rba to start with. I won't be doing the building tho, just my husband. I just want to try it out to see what all the hype is about. He's wanting to get a mech mod, ,nemesis is believe, with an orchid rta. We chose rta's instead of rda's bc we hv toddlers and from what I understand dripping requires having your juice handy all the time...do I hv that correct? So anyway, my main question is would the kayfun I mentioned be a good match with the svd2 for someone just starting the rba's and sub ohms?

    Sitting down, facing forward.
    Sub ohm is not really necessary for good vapor production from an RBA. I use an Erlkonigin on a VTR, a Fogger on a Vamo V2 and another Fogger on an IPV. The Vamo and VTR are coiled at about 1.5 and 2.3 ohms, respectively while the IPV is at .8 or .9. No real difference in flavor, throat hit or vapor output between the three of them that I can find. The big difference is that the battery life is longer in the Vamo and VTR. Then again, I'm not a purest or cloud chaser.

    Yeah, I'm with u on the cloud chasing, it's not really my thing. I'm mainly wanting a better favor, and by better I mean denser & deeper flavor. I've noticed I get a really hard vape from my svd2. I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong in the settings or what but it's a much more harsh vape than my Zmax and mvp. I'm hoping the kayfun helps that. Im currently using it with nautilus or my aero tank mega. It doesn't matter what wattage either. I can put my svd2 on the exact same wattage and volts as my mvp with the same tank but it's so much harsher. Suggestions?

    Air flow, air flow, air flow. Did I mention air flow? Harshness, generally, is the result of too much heat. Higher volumes of air will cool things down and eliminate that harshness. As my coils age I usually end up dropping the power by a watt or two at a time until it smooths out. That's my signal it's time for a dry burn and rewick. Keep in mind I'm running with maximum air flow and have increased air flow, drilled out air holes, to improve it.

    As far as sub-ohming goes, I think the SVD 2.0 will accept 0.8 ohms as it's lower limit. The MVP and v3 are both limited to 1.0 ohms. I don't know what the Zmax's lower limit is...

    Personally, for me, I've found that 1-2 ohms is the range I prefer. Lower can be a little overwhelming; while higher longer draws. But that is my own $0.2--your tastes may differ. [For the sake of disclosure, the toppers I use are mostly Aerotanks with rebuilt coils (1.4-1.7 ohms), a SquapeR clone RBA (built to 1.5), and a slew of Evod Glass tanks for out-and-about with rebuilt coils (1.8-2.0 ohms). I also have an Atlantis (0.5) that I won in a contest that I have used for exactly one tankful of 0 nic juice before putting it down.]

    The SVD 2.0 goes down to .5 ohm.
