iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group

[brokensoldier]

If people really have an issue with the button i suppose it's worth doing but in all the endless posts i have read about the MVP it doesn't appear to be a problem at all , i think it's ideal the way it is personally and would not mess with it unless i had no choice.

Glad yours survived the operation, would of been a real bummer if it suddenly succumbed to it's injuries , the MVP, and you can include us humans in this can expire at any time for no apparent reason (especially when we get tinkered with)

QC from China being the gold-star example that it is, are you surprised that some of us find the button press too hard? Your button press is perfect for you - congratulations, you won the MVP lottery!

But when I read about people not being able to use their device for more than a couple of hours a day, or having to resort to sticking a foam pad on it, that tells me I am not alone.

Personally, if I am in the market for a new VW box mod because I can't stand the button on this MVP then I would rather try to fix it first before buying another one, because if it works then hooray I just saved 60 bucks. If it fails then who cares, I was going to buy a new mod anyway.

hey fellow mvp peeps, I was wondering if any of yall know if its possible to use an 18650 battery to replace the stock battery in the mvp2?

A buddy of mine was borrowing my mvp2 when he caught on fire(not because of the mvp he was working on changing fuel lines on his cbr when the space heater ignited the fumes). After he got out of the hospital I told him not to use the mvp because I maybe dangerous if the battery was damaged. He brought it back to me and I opened it up to check out the damage. The only issue I found was a loose wire that I soldered back in. After reassembling the mod I tried to turn it on... nothing. Put it on the charger thinking it might be dead battery, but I got a battery failure error.

I gutted the pcb boards and would love to put them to use if possible.

I've been doing 1.2ohm no problems..

I haven't run above 1 ohm in like 2 months or so. Only problem is I have to recharge more often. Makes sense bc i'm using more power per puff.

Yes, i am very very surprised actually since the button has been a non issue for 99% of people who posted about their experiences with it , the button may be hard to press for you and a very few others but please don't try to make it sound like it's a problem for most.

I would bet the house that most would not attempt what you did to try and alleviate it but you did and hopefully it's easier for you , Innokin QC is very very good , if you were talking fasttech then it would be far more believable.

It's been attempted but most don't bother, probably better to go with a hana type box if you want that.

Want to show me where I said that?

You said it yourself. 99%

Don't want to help the 1% of us who do have a problem with the button? Shame on you, herb.

Find the nearest person in your vicinity at this moment and have them slap you. Then throw that thing in the garbage and order another one.

Well, lesseee... $40 for a new one. $50 for parts. No brainer for me. I'd order parts and a new one. When yer a tinkerer... ya jus' kant hep it!

I hear ya. I was already thinking you could salvage the button and the connector for another project.

Well you did say if the button is easy to press you won the lottery. That suggests most by far are hard to press and is very common.

Check out the stands and racks made for spools of sewing thread - I think that they would work. This is an easel style, Amazon.com: June Tailor Mini Mega-Rack ll but I know I've seen tree ones before. Possibilities would be Nancy's Notions, Clothilde and Home Sew.

Well...I checked out Amazon and the 3 sites you mentioned. Didn't find anything that I could use as a "Drip Tip Tree"...but I did find a "Thread Rack" and a "Thread Spool Case" that I might be able to use to store/organize my 20-30 Drip Tips.

Only problem...although they list the Rack/Case dimensions...they don't list the dimensions of the "spool spindles" (that hold the spools of thread).

Since I can't remember the last time I saw a spool of thread...would "spindles" to hold thread spools be small enough to put Drip Tips on?

QC from China being the gold-star example that it is

That kind of sounds like your not confident in anything from China to me , but thats just my opinion. Names like H.Cigar and Infinity show much better quality control than many other Chinese outfits ( and apparently H.Cigar does manufacture products , they are not just a distributor as some say, at least from what it says on their website) .

Innokin has shown to have far better QC than most as well . Like i said if you repaired the MVP thats great , i am just saying it's taking a chance doing that unless it's absolutely necessary, and for you it was so lets leave it there.

I don't have a link but if there is one 'google' should be able to find it. I am not aware of anybody who has successfully done it.

From what i understand the button was designed like it is to prevent it from turning on accidentally . I still don't find it hard but some do apparently , no biggie , were all different.

I think the button is unusually hard to push AS COMPARED to any other device
so it was peculiar when I first got it and take in to account button placement
just does not fit my/many hands (read all that use side of thumb knuckle)
(I highly doubt Innokin had that in mind)

then figure in the strange way you must exert force, made for kinda a sore
ache – I’ve since got mostly used to it but assistance from my foam cushion
stuck on there surely helped a great deal...

and don't forget this all came about due to the fact that
the V1 button was weak and feeble (and flush mounted)
and had a high failure rate, so button on V2 was a VAST improvement...


now ask me who I think has the best fire button of all… 

 

[pufZeppelin]

Holy crap Puff , you beat my record , actually blew me out of the water , 12 post's in only two pages and seven straight from page 1179-1180 , awesome.


Once i get going though i think i can take ya, we'll see lol.

haha, been away no posting for a couple days, seen there was
a lot of catching up to do…


OK, gonna get a new keyboard and a new set of Britannica encyclopedias
and start training (you’re going down)

From what i understand the button was designed like it is to prevent it from turning on accidentally . I still don't find it hard but some do apparently , no biggie , were all different.

That's kinda why I like the button just the way it is.

I don't have to think about it when sticking it in my pocket.

I doesn't inadvertently fire.

I think it was totally designed to be fired with the side of the thumb knuckle.

That's why it falls right under the knuckle whether you are using it right-handed or left-handed.

Great design. IMO. YMMV.
