iTaste MVP 2.0 - Information thread. (Read if you own one)

[Vappers]

The other day i was building a coil for my itaste MVP 2.0 and it read a bit lower then i wanted it to, which led me to do some research. What i found was interesting so i thought i would share it here and see what you guys think.

Coil was 1.6 ohms (I was shooting for 2.0)

Wanted to make sure i was in the safe limit for my itaste so i did a google search for "MAX AMP DRAW ITASTE MVP 2.0". This is what i found:

2600 mAh internal battery
DC Voltage
Myriad compatible (Both eGo and 510 threaded. Accepts all eGo threaded accessories)
Voltage Range: Adjustable from 3.3-5.0 Volts in .1 volt increments
Portable power source for electronic products
3.0 Amp limit
Metal housing (case)
Built-in puff counter
Battery capacity display
ON/OFF safety switch
Pass-through: you can charge and vape at the same time
Standard Micro & 2.0 USB Socket
Short Circuit/Atomizer Protection
Over-Discharge Protection

I found that it has a max output of 3 amps. I did a little messing around with an ohms law calcultor and found this to be my lowest ohm coil, which surprised me!

Use 3.6 Volts
@ 1.2 Ohms
3.0 amp draw OR 10.8 Watts.

The itastes wattage feature goes up to 11 watts.

I tried it and it works. I also feel relatively safe doing this because it also has "[FONT=Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Over-Discharge Protection"- So the device will simply stop working, or wont fire at all if its too much.

Another example would be:

3.7 Volts
1.3 ohms
=
2.8 amps
10.5 watts

Also safe.

Thanks for reading, tell me what you think. [/FONT]

Just goes to show that you don't have to spend a lot to get a lot....MVP2's are possibly the best deal going.

My MVP 2.0 is actually firing a .9 ohm coil as we speak. Makes me wonder if the ohm reader is not really accurate. I'm running a 28 gage kanthal micro coil double strand navy nest using bio wick in case you're wondering.

I usually like a ill head room when using battery's and amps in my RC planes but I do run those on 25v lipolys and @ 100!amps . Just easier over all on the electronics but again with the price as the MVP 2 are I guess they are kinda disposable.

The MVP 2 will fire 0.8 at the lowest. Unfortunate with the amp limit, it won't fire 4.5v on a .8 ohm coil though, it will limit it to a safe voltage/wattage.

I had a .8 dual microcoil build in my Igo-w and it fired no problem. Under .8 and it won't fire though.

I liked my provari (I and 2...lost 1, and sold the other). I find the MVP2 a great replacement to it. My issue with the provari was its battery life even with the extended just wasn't enough. I needed a special charger to refuel or carry an extra battery. The MVP lasts me 2 days of heavy vaping. Charges via USB in my car to work. Has all the features I need AND charges my cell in a pinch. . I love it!

I got one about two months back. I vaped a good bit today and it's still smashing. Might charge tomorrow evening. It's a big step up for me after ego devices. I'm so carefree!

The amp limit is 3.5 amps, not 3.0 amps. This info comes directly from Innokin.

Awesome to know i could even go down to .8! Im messing around with my mech mod tonight and i have a dual micro coil sitting on a Kayfun clone, amazing. .4 ohms

I accidentally built a .9ohm coil one day and was freaking out because I was afraid my MVP 2 might explode. I was messing around with the twisted kanthal method and hit the sub-ohm range. And oh-my-garsh, was that an amazing vape.

 

[SpookyDriver]

I'm using a 0.8ohm microcoil in a Taifun clone at 9W on my MVP right now since the batteries for my mechs are charging at the moment. Runs like a champ.

 

[riseabovethestorm]

This discussion put a bug up my .... so I went ahead and built a .9 again, pushing 4V through it and it's delicious.

Haha, nice i have a .4 on my kayfun and my mechs dead... Too bad it wont fire on my MVP


Time to do some building.

Here are some load tests that show you what it actually does:

I'm planning on using my MVP as a 2nd opinion to my cheap multimeter once my FT clones get here from china!

The MVP won't fire a 3.5 amp load, but if you look at PBusardo's numbers, it also won't fire anything that calculates to more than 11 watts, even if it is in variable voltage mode.

I thought that I could push more than 11 watts by building a lower ohm coil and using variable voltage mode, but that is not the case. Regardless of your set voltage, the MVP will calculate your coil resistance and ONLY deliver the voltage that will create 11 Watts out.

I love my 2 MVP 2's. They are my "ProVari's" away from home. I use my ProVari in my home where I have access to my charger and an extra battery, but out on the road, my MVP's are king. Getting a little low? Just plug in my phone charger into the 12V accessory of my car and I'm vapin and charging down the highway at the same time.. Can't do that with a ProVari.

 

[CloudedScreen]

thanks for the info guys. props to OP for bringing this up. just bought one of these for the wife this week, as she doesn't sub ohm not much of an issue but important info nonetheless

 

[Agnes Black]

Best cheapo box mod on the market for those of us that can't afford a DNA chip custom box mod -- mi gusta my MVP's MUCHO. Now I gotta get a Shine edition green one

 

[rith]

I got a single coil at 1.1 pushing 3.9 volts is that okay ? It vapes great is this safe though ?
