iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group

I got one today in camo. Still trying to adjust to it, I'm used to an ego. Performing great.

Hello all I 've had my v2 for about two weeks now and I'm really digging it. I vape it with a mini protank or dripping atty.

Guys, what's the lowest ohms it's fired? My Kaifun build clocked at 1.2/1.3 and it fires ok!

Welcome to the ARMY!

Not sure where you got your last MVP but these guys have the newest version at a good price. http://http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-innokin-itaste-mvp-2-0-Energy-With-NEW-iclear-16B-starter-kit-/171193332822?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item27dbeaf456

Okay, I'm late to the game: They have PATTERNS? Ugh, I just ordered the $39.99 one from 101vape (where I got my last one). Hmm, wonder if I can cancel? I NEED that petals one...

I vaped a .8 but I wouldn't recommend it for battery health. I have E-mails in to innokin on this.

Tell me about it. I have 3 vv3's that I was super fine with. Use one every third day. Vape it pass through if during the day if necessary, then charge it and it took 2 days off. I figured I was good. Even with 200 charge cycles on each you're looking at 1.5 years minimum before I would need to shop a new battery.

Then I saw the "frost" MVP 2.......Had to have it. Now my MVP is my home vape and my vv3's are my at work vape. At work I don't discharge them more than 50% so now I've got 3 years worth of MVP's and my MVP should be getting recharged maybe twice a week (weekends and evenings) so about two years on that bad boy, and that's assuming 200 cycles...which is really conservative.

Yeah, these things are not designed for sub ohm vaping. Your hitting your current limit at 7.2 watts and 2.4 volts on a .8 ohm coil.

Thank Odin for the pass through. Four hour road trip. I was chain vaping cause of traffic. Before you know it, red flashing and cut off. No worries, pulled the plug from the bottom of my droid and popped it into Ol' Blue. Vape on!!

You vaped down a 2600 mAh battery in 4 hours? Do you have gills for lungs or what?

Drippen on a Friday, but she is yellow. I can't bear to let her go to the charger just yet. I'm a believer and will preach her glory. Is it bad if you drink the vodka as well as use it to clean the atty? (Separate glasses of course)

Well Aquaman, I'd say it's time to get a spare to use while this one is on the charger......

 

[Huckleberried]

The clearo with the newer ones matches the design of the mvp, too. I'm giving the clearo (camo) to my boyfriend though. IF he'll use a bottom coil. He prefers a top coil, I can't stand them. I didn't realize they made a bottom coil in those now, too.

 

[WileECoyote]

I think you're right! Good excuse to get one of them wood grained ones!

I'm now down to one itaste vv (seem to have fried the electronics on one--thought I had the other day with a bad/cheap usb cable, got it working again for awhile, now won't display anything and won't finish charging), so I'm looking for votes on whether to get another itaste vv or switch to an MVP. My main question is how much heavier the MVP is. I would like the longer time between charges, but I do have hand problems and am wondering if the weight difference would cause problems when chain vaping.

I can't afford either now until January, but am looking for opinions.

 

[WileECoyote]

As you've seen, I got my MVP2, and I am impressed. I have to admit, I do like the vv3 slightly....ever so slightly.....better.

Here's why....

The biggest advantage of the MVP2 is its absolutely insane battery life. 2600 mAh is insane. The only way you are getting longer vape time is to strap a car battery to your back. The capacity of this beast is so large it can charge 3 THREE itaste vv3's. I mean, this thing lasts forever on a charge. What's funny is I could actually charge my vv3's because it doubles as a portable phone/battery charger.

Some might think this is a gimmick, but it's an insanely cool gimmick.

Performance wise, this thing is nearly identical to to the vv3. And it's it's huge capacity that makes it my primary home vape.

It also has absolutely solid construction.

On the "energy" series (with the funky paint job) they've also filed down the output on/off switch so that it is flush with the bottom and the unit now stands up solidly with no wobble. NOTE: They may have done this on the newer "standard" MVP2's as well, but I don't have one to compare.

Now some things that the vv3 does better.

- Comfort. The vv3 is simply more comfortable to use. The size, fire button placement, and easier button throw makes the vv3 a clear winner. When I'm at work, or out and about, the VV3 will always be with me.

- UI. I prefer the way you switch between VV/VW mode on the vv3. There is NO possible way to switch modes inadvertently. On the itaste vv3, you have to hold down the -button and tap the fire button to get in VV mode, or hold down the + button and tap the fiire button to go into VW mode. You then use the + and - keys to adjust the values up or down.

On the MVP 2, however, if you hit the U button for 2 seconds, you are in VV mode. If you hit the P button for 2 seconds, you are in VW mode. When adjusting the values, simply hitting P or U will cycle between variable power and wattage modes. It you switch between VV/VW mode frequently it is definitely easier to switch on the MVP 2. But the problem with this is that you can only adjust the wattage or voltage in one direction. I would much prefer the normal + and - keys on the vv3. I've had to round robin a couple of times and that's a pain... Not a deal breaker, but a pain none the less.

- Fire button. On the vv3, it's easy to look down and see battery health when you fire it off. The MVP has the same feature, but often the way you have to hold it or fire it makes seeing the fire button challenging. Also it's got a stiffer throw. I've noticed a bit of thumb/finger fatigue using this. pbusardo is right on the money regarding this. My aching thumb can attest to this.

If I didn't already own a vv3, I'd say this is the best APV you can buy for the dollar. However, if you can overlook the modest 800 mAh life of the vv3, it is just more portable, comfortable, and easier to use. However, the MVP's huge battery life and device charging features makes the MVP2 the clear Bang for Your Buck winner as it can be had as little as $42.00. Especially when you consider your'e getting an AVP and an external device charger, it's like getting two products in one.

If you can only afford one device, get the MVP2. However, if you have the budget, I'd pick up a vv3 as well. The MVP2 will definitely be used as my primary at home vape and will likely be my out of town vape as well to ensure my phone has a backup power source on those long flights.

Here you go, bud.

I honestly love my MVP 2, but if you have hand problems, let me warn you. I have nerve issues, etc, in mine and I AM having trouble with mine hurting me and causing stingers. But I love Black Beauty so I am going to get a couple vv3's after the first and switch them out. I discovered that I tend to clutch to my PV when not in use, and something about the shape just hurts me. I am currently using a couple of sticks I keep for back up to switch out with and I find that if I keep both in my lap, I don't clutch. It's not the button being to hard to push for me, but the shape my hand ends up in. I hope this helps you with your decision. I would think the VTR would be WAY too heavy for me, otherwise I'd try that. We bought our daughter a vv3 and she's loving it.

 

[Huckleberried]

I'd still really like to have a vv3, in pearl. Thinking it'll be next, but my ego will have to die (won't be long). A little surprised I got the mvp. It's definitely a bit bulky and only a little weighty. The VTR, however.... like lifting weights! I have no issues pushing the button and it does sit flush on the table. No wobbles.

Need a forum for wraps and banners as this thread has been totally off topic.
