Ok I just didn't want to buy it and have to replace it in a month or 2. If it lasts me 6-12 months than the savings I will accumulate in that time will allow me to buy a high end mod. If it didn't last very long then I think I would go with a Vamo but I just don't really want a tube shaped mod. Give and take I guess. Thx Guys!

I searched, couldn't find an answer. I know eventually it will die but after 2 weeks? a month? a year?

You need to provide more details. It's based on usage. Will it be your only vaping device? Or will it be part of a rotation? If so, how many other mods will you be using? What will eventually go bad is the battery. The lifespan depends on charge cycles and usage patterns. You can extend the life of the battery by not running it to the bone before charging. After time, battery life will shorten and eventually the battery won't hold a charge.

I have a Twist and if I bought the MVP it will be my main vaping device until its charging(I know its a pass through) then I will use the Twist until its fully charged again.

I used to do the same. . .but the MVP last so long I don't even bother carrying backups anymore (Joyetech Twist and a 650). I gave those to a buddy of mine who just got started, and he just upgraded himself to an MVP as well after a week. . . .("poser"). Or you can just keep an in-house at all times, just in case you don't want to do the pass through (That's why I have an eVic that stays at home)

How long does it take to recharge from say a yellow light warning?

Edit: Saw that its ~4-6 hours.

That's about right. . .sometimes faster, sometimes longer depending on how often you use it. Usually, when it goes to the yellow LED's, I kinda want to charge it right then and there. But it's always best to charge it when they hit the red LED's. and the passthrough option doesn't help the charging as it's just using the charge in the battery, but a backup will keep you from using it while it's charging. I'd say it's similar to using a cell phone while it's charging. . .it'll charge better when it's left alone. The charge cut-off helps in overnight charging. Never recommended, but when it's a habit like charging my phone, you get into routines. that's my nightly routine.

" The lithium-ion battery works on ion movement between the positive and negative electrodes. In theory such a mechanism should work forever, but cycling, elevated temperature and aging decrease the performance over time. Since batteries are used in demanding environmental conditions, manufacturers take a conservative approach and specify the life of most Li-ion between 300 and 500 discharge/charge cycles.

Counting cycles is not conclusive because a discharge may vary in depth and there are no clearly defined standards of what constitutes a cycle. In lieu of cycle count, some batteries in industrial instruments are date-stamped, but this method is not reliable either because it ignores environmental conditions. A battery may fail within the allotted time due to heavy use or unfavorable temperature conditions, but most quality packs will last considerably longer than what the stamp indicates."

I prefer a replaceable battery device rather than a built-in, you just get new batteries instead of a whole unit.

the MVP is *solid* - I am very happy with it, stays at home and I hardly put it down, get to about 730 puffs before I notice yellow, charges in a few hours- totally worth it imo.

Just got mine a week ago. Trying to see if my battery life is not as great as some other's. I get about 300 or so "puffs" before yellow light. What voltage have you been using it at, on what ohm carto/atty, and about how long (secondswise) are your "puffs"? thanks!
