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… 

:D

Well, it doesn't fall out and that is certainly an improvement.



The button push doesn't really bother me. They could do better though.

I agree with the comments about the suitability of the stiff button. It's set flush with the plastic surround so no worries about it getting pressed in my pocket, and it's a little stiff for that extra protection. I like it like that.

At first it was difficult to get used to since I had been using a Spinner with the very easy button press. But now, the button is something I just never think about. And I never need to hassle myself with turning the MVP off when I put it in my pocket and then having to turn it on again.

I completely agree with this and that is one of the things that sold me on the MVP, other than the ridiculous battery life when compared to my old spinner. I could see where the button might be a problem for some, but if you made it easier, then you'd hear more cases of accidental firing.

Think the button is only an issue with people that have existing problems with their hand(s). Im all for providing solutions for people that are having difficulty using the mvp bc I think it's one of the best apvs in what id call the starter price range and helps so many stop/reduce smoking.

Myself I love the button, but if I had arthritis or was disabled or had ms or even small hands i would definitely be grateful for help using this device.

Innokin will most likely improve the button and many other issues in the v3 (im hoping fort the firing pin issue). Yes they are made in China. But that means exactly squat. Chinese factories can and do make things of great quality. And they make garbage. The difference is in the manufacturer and the schematics used along with materials.

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)

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.

I have problems with the button because I have arthritis and nerve damage. Either one would be a problem, but together they make a lot of things difficult.

My first thread on ECF was asking for recommendations about what might work for me, and the responses are what got me started using VV v3s. I got my first MVP for the battery life, and my second because I liked the first, but even with padding on the buttons (craft foam is my favorite so far) I can still only use them for a couple of hours a day.

So I'm very grateful for any ideas to make them easier to use. Otherwise my only option is going to be to buy even more VV v3s. I usually have three flavors going all day, so we're talking five VV v3s to keep me untethered. It's well worth possibly damaging one of my MVPs to see if they can be made more usable for me.

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?

Mini Thread Rack - Organizers - Supplies - Nancy's Notions

Double-Sided Thread Spool Case - Organizers - Supplies - Nancy's Notions

I don't have my sewing stuff moved to the new house yet, but looking at the drip tips that I have and relying on memory they should work. Though I do see that you got some links to official drip tip racks as well.
 
I tell ya, I’m happiest wrapping my coils similar to what factory does
5/64”, close but not touching, keep legs short as possible…
all the others , meh (factory has more R&D than me, efficiency)
the others seem a bit tuffer to do (a little) but made all kinds of test run coils
and I seem to come back to close to stock style and it's working for me...

:ohmy:

I've settled on basically the same thing. Since I got my Kayfun a week ago, I've played around with a bunch of different coils "just because", and frankly I couldn't tell much of a difference at all. The somewhat-standard 5/64" with 7 wraps of 30g works great and it's easy. I've tried the "heat-and-squish" and no squishing, and that doesn't seem to make a difference either, so I just make sure the coil's evenly spaced and wick it up. I tried a few coils with 28g but I don't like how slow it is to heat up; the 30g just seems to be a happy medium for me (at least in the Kayfun @ about 1.5ohms.)

The only coil setup that was noticeably different was a dual-coil build, but that was the most fiddly thing ever just to build. Once I fired it up, it was way hotter than I prefer and I went through juice too fast. It was an interesting experiment, but one I have no desire to repeat.

The thing is, I don't think the shape of the coil necessarily makes any difference if you're still covering the same amount of surface area and putting out the same wattage; you haven't really changed the two most important factors.

No nothing fires and now I know why all the coils I tried to build read 'bad' was not the coils at all but the device. Can you tell me how to pull up the pin? I am not sure I even know what a pin is

Sounds like you need to pull your pin.

Will it fire an atty?

What the purple paperclip is resting on is the pin. I'm not sure of a good way to pull it up with everyday items, I use dental picks to pull pins up but I haven't needed to since my Spinner broke. possible get a needle or paperclip and gently out it against the side of that pin, lean it on the inside edge of the connector and try to pry it up, working your way around. Don't pull it up too far, or you'll break the connection on it. And don't tighten your tanks all the way. Snug, not tight.

I can not get it to pull up at all. I have only had this thing two weeks and barely used it. I also have used the airflow control with it. Isn't this to soon for this to happen?

It wouldn't have anything to do with the amount of time you've had it, it could have happened anytime you took the airflow control off and put it back on. I pushed my Spinner's pin in during the first week. If you're rebuilding coils and you don't have a lot of experience, it could be that your builds have shorts. Have you tried a new coil/clearo?

Actually that did not help at all as I have one of these-bought it when I bought the MVP two weeks ago and I still have this problem

been using one since day 1, i can use any topper i want including the KF; not a problem yet.....screw in the airflow adapter until it makes contact and not crank it down and then ride your beauty ring back up to lock the afc in place and use any topper you want...proven first hand
