iTaste MVP concerns - Any other suggestions?

[JesterDev]

I've been spoiled by USB charging on my eVic. No more loosing my charger, and spare batteries. But I want a backup device. Really looking for another USB style ecig.

Looking at the[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT] iTaste MVP, but have some concerns. I have gone through TWO varicool box mods, both of which the connector on the top lost connection and no longer functioned. I am a little rough on my ecigs, I'm an artist by trade and my studio is full of things where it can get damaged. If the Chuck was VV I would be in heaven....

Anyway how durable is the iTaste MV?

Any other suggestions are more than welcome. Trying to keep the price below $100 and would prefer a USB port for charging. Things get lost in my studio or become part of the art.. so is much easier to charge via USB.

I've had mine since January. Very pleased with it. Built like the proverbial brick, all metal. I've read of them being dropped (broken clearo), driven over (scratched) and otherwise abused and still going strong. All you need is a USB to micro USB cable. It comes with one, that has extra connectors if you want to charge up, say, an iphone, but any cable will work. I picked up a retractable one for less than $10.

Thank you! That was my main concern. Going to get myself one now, sounds just like what I need.

I have the MVP and it's sturdy as heck. I've dropped it on cement floors with no damage to the unit. Not only is it strurdy and attractive, it functions incredibly well. I definitely recommend it if you're still on the fence.

Built like a Sherman Tank!!!! I spent $30 on mine and has turned out to be my favorite mod. My mechs and my vv tube mods just hang out here at the house most of the time.

Anyways I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a second one.

That's a good idea!

+1 for the build quality... I had a Kanger S1 that would strip either the tank or battery threads if you looked at it the wrong way. I've dropped my MVP from my lap onto a tile floor a few times, and I was more concerned about chipping the tile...
