Cheers, capt.

It's a 2.0 V2, that was supposed to have been fixed but it seems that it hasn't. I'm just going to put it down to experience and stay away from Innokin, they just don't last.
They aren't meant to last forever (hence no replaceable battery) but are the most value for the money. There is a post about 5-10 pages back from a guy celebrating his one year anniversary with his mvp.
Pretty sure the battery averages 200 charge cycles. Depending how often you charge that could be over or under a year.
If you want to buy something that just won't die I hear good things about the provari. Sorts pricey, cant sub ohm, or vw, but it's built like a tank, superb performance, great warranty and can send back to manufacturer for a reasonable fee for life.
If you like box mods, go for a reo. Available either straight mech or vv (still no vw) can sub ohm, built tough, can send it back to the maker as well.. And the neat thing is they can use bottom feeding rdas and have an internal bottle to squeeze as needed to basically drip without dripping.
Both are great devices and I want to own both. But they will run you 125-300+ depending on which bells and whistles and models you choose. Which is why I have a mvp. It does so much.. Is cheap.. and durable for the vast majority of it's users.
Sorry if yours is dead but most people seem to think of then as such a value as to be disposable if/when they die. 40$ for six months is cheaper than a lot of options.
But you are welcome to your own opinion of the company.. After all it's your experiences and views that matter to you.
