OK, so today I pulled the plug on picking up an itaste MVP2. I could have picked it up cheaper online, but everywhere I checked, it seemed to be out of stock. I also kind of wanted to support my local vape shop that has been very helpful to me and has good people there. It came with two itaste 16. The only experience I have had so far was my EVOD. I really like my EVOD, but had read in this thread how recommended the MVP2's are for how I vape. I got it home an added my Want2Vape Mystical Menthol and gave it a go. Definitely an enjoyable vape experience. I am not too sure what I need to do as far as the Voltage or Wattage. I guess I will have a learning curve. So far, so good. Thank you to those who suggested I pick this up. I am quite happy with it!

Help!

My MVP was down to 3.8 and I put it on the Innokin cable to a lighter adapter in the van. The green light came on and after a while the MVP was warm. After hours I pushed the buttons and it showed 4.0 and it was cool. Hours later it was still cold and 4.0. I came home and plugged it into a wall wart on another cable and after an hour it is still cold and 3.9. Is something wrong?

You can do either but if you set watts, it will change the volts for you if you put on a different ohm coil.

Setting the watts seems a lot more simple to me, and that's what I've done. I have mine set on 7 with the P button, and it's working really well with any of my tanks I use on the MVP. I have mainly Evods and a couple of the Smok Tech ARO's.

The problem with any variable wattage output is it depends on how the device "reads" the coil. A fluxuation of as little as .1 ohm can really make a difference on the calculated voltage. Also you need to take into account how the device rounds up or rounds down. When pbusardo does his calculations, he does his calculations on his "lazybox" which has set ohm resistances in them. If the MVP misreads them +/- .1 ohm, then the calculation will be off.

Now, most of the issues in Pbusardo's video regarding the MVP2, I find, deals with running into device limitations on low ohm coils.

Realize that the minimum the MVP 2 can adjust it's voltage is 3.3 volts. If the wattage calculation requires less than 3.3 volts to set it's desired wattage, then the device will simply fire 3.3 volts and over fire the coil.

The device really has a sweet spot of 1.5 to 3.0 ohms. If you go any lower you will get into some limitations in the voltage regulator circuit.

I normally use 2.0 to 2.5 ohm coils on my Kayfun and vape between 8.0 and 9.0 watts and have no issues whatsoever.

Thanks for clarifying p.opus. It's reassuring.

I won't go lower than 1.5 ohms. I'll probably stick to 1.8 - 2.4 so I should be fine.

I think something is wrong. Still showing 3.9. [cry]

Yep, turned it off, put on the charger, left for an hour, same. I'm going to leave it on all night and check in the morning. Then take it on the road tomorrow. Along with my Vision Slip and at least one ego. Told the wifey I might come home with a fist full of egos. We are going to SoCal this weekend. Maybe I can at least passthrough on the drive.

Inferno, I started with evods and still occasionally use one on the MVP. Set your volts low 3.3 and work up until you find the sweet spot.

Thank you for the help!
I am starting to see why you guys bragged so much on your MVP2's. I am getting some wonderful Vapes and much more taste. I have to say, I am very happy I went with the MVP2!

I got my SM Kayfun Lite yesterday and tried it on my MVP. It's a really nice device and all, works great on my MVP but.. Call me crazy but I think I'll stick to my evods and mini protanks. Kayfun hits better (but has a smoother vape), has a bit more flavor but is a heavy ....... with akward filling tiny hole, 510 threading which just waits to strip my MVP's threads and it whistles a bit. I still didn't do a perfect setup but I managed to do a solid 8 figure 2 ohm silica setup. I can power it a lot harder than my protank without burnt taste but it's not IMO all THAT better vape than what I get with my rebuilt evod/protank coils. I tried MC cotton too but it doesn't do much for me. Should I give Kayfun more chance or just go back to my tried and true ego threaded devices? Dayum I hate that 510 lol.

It took me about 24 hours to start to enjoy it. I kept dialing it in , dialing it in , and dialing it in and finally hit the sweet spot. I am only 13 days into vaping so I might be missing the knowledge to appreciate what the mvp does over an Ego buy I think my Ego is a factory freak because it blows MAJOR clouds and has AMAZING flavor. The ego isn't even VV lmao! I think my expectations were way to high for stepping up to a "mod" but I still enjoy the mvp so thats all that matters.

I agree 100% ! I have (2) evods, (2) aspire vivi mini novas, (1) protank 3, (2) iclear 16s, and (1) iclear 30. I must say my evods perform the BEST out of all them. The aspires might be on par with the evod but I have yet to switch out to a fresh coil and I heard the replaceable coils are hit or miss. Only 1 out of every 8 are estimated to be as good as the one that came with the tank if that one was even good. I guess I will know if my luck carries over once its time to get some new coils.
