Been with the MVP 2.0 for about 2 days and I still can't kill the battery. Received it at 4.1v and now only at 3.8v. Madness! Loving it at the moment.
Well the good thing is it will only be an extension tube so it won't be exposed to much wear. If it does I will do a vinyl wrap on it.
I have been using the Aspire BDC since way back when Smokeless Image started selling them. When I got the MVP I bought a few Vivi and Mini Novas and six ET-S. The thing I don't like, especially with the ET, is you can't run them any lower than 1/3 low without them flooding. I'm getting away from them now since everything I use take the PTII heads which I am rebuilding. Gonna sell off the BDC's soon.
IBTANKED.... Show em off:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tanks/484566-ibtanked-show-em-off.html
Before I "discovered" CartoTanks I tried a number of different Aspires.
The main problem (for me) with the Aspire BDC's was that you can't dry-burn them (it destroys the rubber grommet)!
I just flew round trip from SFO to Orange County with my MVP/carto tank set up in my purse. No problem at all. Went thru the x-ray...nobody flinched...all good. Carto tank flooded due to the pressure change so I had to blow it out after landing but that was about it.
Sorry to hear your carto leaked but glad to know it is not just clearos and tanks that do it. I debated taking some old prescription bottles and putting my Aspire tanks (worse offenders) in them for the trip over the top and see how they are after.
So I attempted to make my first coil for my vivi nova, Needless to say it was pretty darn tough with my arthritic hands. I did manage to wrap 5 wraps of 28 gauge on a single piece of 3mm wick. now I don't know the size of the little bitty screw driver to hold the wick against while I wraped, but I did get a reading of exactly 1.0 ohms. Is this going to be safe to use on my MPV?
I did do a quick dry burn and nothing shorted, So I am guessing that was a good thing, I just need a vote of confidence that I did something right...lol

It will fire but I really think you should stay above 1.2 Ohm for the mvp. I ran a .8 for a little bit just to do it but my battery got real warm and I don't think it liked it. Also, bellow ~1.2 we don't have the voltage to gain any more wattage.
But, 'grats on getting one made!

Ok Hot battery is all I needed to hear, I will not run this one. It was my first build to see if the fingers were going to let me even wrap the tiny wire...When I have more time I'm going to see if I can get more wraps. maybe even try to make Rips little micro coil. with the cotton filler.
Sue this is nine pages but there are ideas for making or buying a tool to help winding tight coils. Mine aren't so tight but they work.

I bought a cheap RDA and have used it to mount a fresh made coil, fire till it glows, then release the power and squeeze the coil with tweezers to compress the coils.
This coil calculator will give you an idea of how many wraps but be aware that clearo assemblies usually take less wraps than this guide. Fake the number for leg length to get close to your actual outcome and that will help in the future with different gauges and diameters. There are other tabs and the Battery Drain one gives you the amp load so you can see if your battery has enough room to spare.

Got a couple of backups for my MVP. Well these will be my at home daily drivers and the MVP and VV's will be for on the go.

Soooo that black one is a Tesla huh!? I like that! I'm looking for a good black mod to match my black KFL+! Can someone recommend any other good black mods!?
I fly regularly with multiple mods, including my MVP2. What I usually do is to attach a clearomizer to it and put it inside my liquid baggy with a couple of bottles of juice. Never had security even ask about it.
Of course once I am through security I remove the clearo and reattach my dripper. I never actually use clearos when I am flying as they leak like crazy due to the pressure changes.

woah! what is that black thing and where can i get one (the cheapest)?!?
Uncle Arthur visits me regularly (see the pinky in my avitar pict,) but I can get one made. My problem now is I can't see that dang little wire!
I use a sewing needle to support the wick while wrapping. Even a jewelers screw driver is quite a bit bigger in diameter than a needle. This could make the wrap a little looser. Also, bigger wire = less wraps and easier to see/work with.
Best of luck and keep us informed!

For those who rebuild EVOD/Protank style heads, Lightning Vapes now carries the parts! Either the whole head assembly (minus wick and wire), top post, silicon top cap, resistance insulator (in either rubber or silicon), and the bottom positive pin. You know all those little parts that get lost or disappear down the sink?

Yeah...I had actually thought about putting my IBTanked in it's "thingy"/pill bottle for the flight anticipating the flooding but just didn't. I definitely will next time and see if that helps.
