I did my first whatteck order on the 5/30 and its in Chicago, Ordered a MVP from vapor beast for 34.99 after code YEAHBABY with free shipping last night. Will be the third innokin device ordered since 5/22. Can tell the product line must be at its retailing life. Cool fire for $24, VTR for $60 and now the MVP.

For anyone else who does have problems with the button on the MVP being hard to push, I have at least a start on a fix. I was being annoyed at having to keep charging my VV v3s on bad hand days, so I spent some time staring at the VV v3s and the MVPs trying to figure out what the differences were.

I think that the problem is mainly that the button on the MVP is recessed further into the bezel around it. This makes it so you actually have to push harder, and right on the button.

So I tried a kludge of sticking a small piece of foam on the button. What I had on hand to try it with was a pad intended to go under a furniture leg. So I cut a small piece off and stuck it to the button. It is a great help. The stuff I had is too thick -- it sticks out so far that it is going to get knocked off -- but the combination of the higher surface and the cushioning from it works.

So my next step is going to be to try to figure out a better material. I tried electrical tape, but while that helps some it is not thick enough, and due to my hand problems I've had no luck trying to layer it, so the search is on. I'm thinking maybe some "craft foam" but not sure yet.

I tried getting a picture, but the stuff on the button doesn't show well.


after reading your post i found a square of 4 little blk round rubber adhesive pieces in my drawer about half the size of a penny and about the same thickness and sorta cut and squared it up to the button and applied...it working great, thanks for the idea...my hands hurt sometimes also.
i have no idea where the rubber adhesive rounds came from...it's like something you would put on the bottom of something to keep it from sliding or scratching a surface.
gimmi a few and i'll post a pic

Right behind you
Well, you can buy the material on Ebay for about $2.50 free shipping but you will need to cut it out yourself:) The seller is shown in the photo (the red print). I printed a template found on this forum. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...on/473345-itaste-mvp-v2-owners-group-107.html I found that printing it from the web turned out to be more accurate than downloading it to my machine for some reason.

I'm confused...what photo and what eBay seller? The link brought me back here lol

Hum, great idea! Craft foam, perhaps moleskin-find it in the pharmacy in the foot section. Dr. Sholls or generic. It is sticky on one side. It would also have a soft texture. If I think of more possibilities I will post. Hope others have ideas

some great ideas
I like those stick-on 'feet' , I have all kinds (felt, rubber, foam) they are nice on remotes among other things

if ya look back about 1000 pages, I tackled this issue by
using thick double sided tape…

it worked great until the tape absorbed finger oil and/or juice
then started sliding around – so next step I put a strip of blue painters tape
(2” x ¼”) over a new piece of double sided tape, worked like a champ...

the added protrusion and cushion greatly reduced the button pushing effort,
I’ve been doing this for months…

I missed that originally during my original detailed reading of the whole thread. ;)

I'm going to check Amazon for the little feet. I know I used to have some, but it's going to take years to replenish the junk drawers and parts boxes after our fire last winter.

For now I'm just making a point of every time I have to buy any kind of hardware or parts or supplies getting extras and/or assortments.

Thanks for the tip. If it were not for your post, I would not have found this:

Next time you go grocery shopping, check the aisle with the random household stuff that we all forget is there (like zip ties, epoxy, sandpaper, etc.) My Kroger sells a couple different types of those stick-on rubber feet.

What's it supposed to be? Rattle snake after a 18 wheeler?:)
Found under itaste MVP at Ebay, some nice looking skins for 3.99 and second skin for 2.99, seller superk8mom. Looking at getting a digital blue-purple textured skin and maybe a dark red carbon. Thats less than $7 for a pair delivered for nice looking protection its really a no brainer.
