p.opus, i disagree with your stance. The vtr is the first box mod i have ever purchased. The reason for that is that i don't like the form factor or look of a regular box mod. They just look goofy. Granted that is only my opinion.
I was 100 percent with you. I even purchased a vv3 instead of an MVP initially. I got 3 vv3's and thought I would be good.
The MVP 2 came out in their energy series and I liked the "frost" color scheme. By that time I was sold on the whole VV/VW thing and a lot of people talked about the battery life of the MVP...so it wasn't quite an impulse buy.
Well I got the MVP and initially I still preferred my vv3's Smaller form factor, etc. The MVP was going to be my "at home vape". But for some strange reason, I would be using my vv3 at work or out in the car and couldn't wait to get home to use my MVP. I found a comfortable way to hold it, I loved the better battery life, and the additional weight of the MVP was not a big deal.
The battery life is what won me over. I can take my MVP anywhere and not worry about it's charge.
