Have you been using the SAME VV3s for three years? If so, I'm impressed. My 3 VV3s only lasted 3-6 months before they started getting flaky.

I'm stuck on VV v3s for a number of reasons, but high up on the list is that except for one that lasted only a couple of months before succumbing to SEDS (sudden electronic death syndrome) I've gotten at least a year out of each one. Including one of my original two that very nearly made it to three years before each charge lasted less and less. The other of my first pair died after about a year because they were the old 2 rivet design and I managed to pull the innards out while disconnecting the usb.

I have very wonky hands, so the combination of squareness (so I can feel and hold on to it) with light weight and easy to press button has been perfect for me. I'm a chain vaping tootle puffer but use about three different liquids at any given time, so I generally have six in my daily rotation.

Since I've tried a bunch of others and always ended back with my VVs I've just been stockpiling them as places have good specials and closeouts. My last 6 cost 10$ each, so I'll just keep getting a couple more each month until the supply dries up. I do have one replaceable battery device, and a couple of MVPs and iSticks that I never use but keep partially charged as backups. But yeah, I'm a VV v3 diehard.

I am with you on the VV's I have 3's and 4's. Two of them in my pocket at all times. I use 4 a day and rotate them out every week. I like the size and weight. No problems taking them anywhere

I have 2 in rotation from the first ones I bought January of last year. Will retire them after the next rotation as the battery is pretty much gone. I do have some other mods in rotation in the evening as I like to rotate juice.

Thanks for all the comments! I got the LEO and it feels like I'm getting a weaker draw on it (I'll keep them as a backup, or if I meet someone I'd like to help). I looked at the vv4 and I saw that they don't seem to get good reviews. After consideration, and aware that I don't have much interest in learning about a whole 'nother device, I've just decided to stay with the vv3. I'll stock up on them when I see great deals and that's that.
Just because I started with it doesn't mean that it's not a great little puff-machine!

Nice to see you, amoret! :)

I just checked out that link and they have an SX Mini Ml class for $60.00 , of course it's sold out but i thought they were a lot more than that .

Yummmm! $60? No wonder they're OOS!

Hey, all! I'm having an issue with my MVP 20watt. It is rattling pretty loudly when I move it around. Is this something I should retire it for? Very grateful for any advice. :)

ETA: Oh, sorry. My silver one rattles too and they both rattle more with a tank screwed in. I'm guessing this is just the normal thing for them. They still work, though.

Not just loose buttons? Some of the VV3s used to do that....
Yes, and the rattling gets worse with a tank connected. It could be that the tanks don't attach quite right. After dropping them all on the floor (because I'm clumsy), they each have some level of looseness. Now that I know it's both of my MVP's and worse with the tanks screwed on, I'm much less worried. :)

I have got to say I like the coolfire 4-18650 a lot!
It's not too small like I thought and feels comfortable in hand. I think it will be a good replacement for my VV3's.
I am spoiled by my MVP pro though, I can get 10-12 days outta a charge. I only got 3 days outta my sammy 25's on the CF.
Oh the work!

My big concern with those that have removable batteries is that I'm used to being able to charge in my car or if I go on a cruise, I only have to take the charger cord. I'm not sure having to swap out the battery would be best for me if my device goes down and I'm not at home. I'd rather not carry a spare battery in my pocket or in my car if I'm going to be out all day. (Though, I do understand the economics of not having a brick if the permanent battery dies.)
I also love how small the vv3 is in fitting in my pocket all day.
