Last I looked Desert only had the black one in stock which most people seem to be against.
iTaste SVD or MVP 2?

Both the SVD and MVP2 are very good products for what they cost. You can google everything and find stories of broken ones. https://www.google.com/#q=zmax+broken That is fairly irrelevant for these now somehow 3 devices.
OP - You will be happy with any of the 3. If you use proper batteries and treat them well you will get your money out of any of them.
So look at the features, size and design - Pick what *YOU* want
. SVD is pretty big, I will post a photo of mine in "small" all the way down with an 18350 next to my MVP for you. I adore both devices - if I were forced to choose I would pick my MVP2.
Good luck on your hunt

I have them both. Both very nice mods. My SVD doesn't work very well anymore, but that's my fault. It has side buttons, I dropped it so many times now one side button no longer works right. I myself would rather carry and switch batteries. To me it's worth the trade off of throwing away a mod because it can no longer be charged. But that's personal preference. Both nice choices so you really can't go wrong.
OK a few more questions, thanks for all the answers so far. What is the lowest ohm a SVD will work with? I noticed the zmax only goes down to 1.2ohms. Does the zmax have a built in ohm meter for testing coils after i build? Why are people against the black zmaxs?
I've fired a 1 Ohm RSST build on my SVD before but I mostly vape around 1.2-1.8 Ohm myself. If I want sub Ohm I always use a mech.
the black zmax finish will tarnish from holding it and the finish will wear off. Some people like it, some don't kinda like brass.
it will read your output voltage, battery voltage and cartomizer / atomizer resistance. you will have to learn how to also use a 1 button mod, which can be a pain at first.

I love the MVP 2! I have 2 and they're perfect with 19 mm carto tanks from IBTanked. I have a long commute to work and back, so I needed a fiddle free set up. Bonus points for being able to charge my phone on the commute. For the price you can get an MVP at, I highly suggest it. I vape at around 8 watts, and a lot of people are happy at that setting. I think the MVP is perfect for those taking the next step from egos.
I got my MVP 2.0 Energy this past Monday and love it! I ordered it from Vaping Town on ebay late Friday evening and received it in the mail on Monday (super fast shipping) 42.99 shipped
Thanks for all the advice, I'm gonna have to think on it and see what happens. Thanks again to everyone and to the OP, sorry again for hijacking the post but you were on the same thought process as I was and redundant threads are pointless. Have a great weekend everyone
lol funny because I just bought both and I'm waiting on them in the mail. I have the VV V3 as well and love it.
Had SVD, returned it because it misfired from day one. It has a horrible design flaw - cheap micro tact switch on the PCB, worse than any VV/VW mod. Expected switch failure is very high, it can even be dent on the PCB from simply using it. Now I ordered an MVP 2.0 because from all the research I've done, it's one of the best buy mods on the market with amazing battery life. If you don't need to go above 5V, I'd suggest MVP 2.0.
Interesting...I like my SVD due to the quality/cost no issues with mine.
What is wrong with your SVD that sways you to say it is "a cheap, poorly designed, poorly assembled mess at a high price."
My...
The MVP is a paper weight when the battery no longer takes a charge. This could be a year, this could be 10 years. Depends on how you personally use it. The SVD, if the battery used stops working, I can just get a new battery. They are both decent middle of the road devices. I don't care for box style mods, but I have a VTR as well that is pretty good for me. The SVD flush mounts toppers, so adds a bit of stability to the 510 connection from being broken from a small drop or bump. The MVP does not so the topper is only supported by the 510 connection if no plinth is used.
Personally, and not just because I have one, I would go SVD based only only battery swapping. Now with that all being said, My SVD is only about a week old and has started shutting itself off for no reason other then it feels like it. Not all the time, but enough that I am back using my Vamo V5 mainly and it is now a backup.
The 3 click turn off is the issue with it "turning its self off" when vaping in rapid mode the 3 clicks required to turn off is spread out over a rather "long" period of time ( about 2-3 seconds) so it is somewhat easy to turn off the SVD when vaping in quick sucsession...
This. I just got my 2nd MVP (as well as a VV) from Vaping Town. Their prices and customer service are STELLAR. I haven't run an SVD so I can't speak to any comparison, but I've been totally happy with my MVPs and VVs. Never had a bad Innokin product yet.
It's not chain vaping turning mine off. It can be picked up from my desk, not been touched for an hour, push the button to fire, and bam... three blinks and off. Could be firing, and in the middle of a drag, and bam... just shuts off. I just got a bad one, that's all. I could have returned it for a refund or an exchange, but I didn't feel like wasting more money on return shipping. My Vamo and my VTR work flawlessly, so I just put on the desk as backup. No Biggie to me really.
The MVP can be found for $30 to $40. Who cares if it is a throw away. You should at least get a year out of it. Nice not having to carry batteries and a charger. It works on a phone charger so can charge in car while using it.

My vote goes for the MVP2 more or less because I have a bias against telescoping devices(most of them) to me they are just annoying.
Mvp2
2600mah battery (2+ days w/o charge)
Resistance reader
VV/VW
Puff counter (if you care)
Good screen
Button is raised and easy to press
Connection is great on it
Small, compact design.

I am currently using the MVP2 now. I really like the mvp because there is no lithium ion battery. I have it hooked up with a 5mL HyperTank. It vapes great! It also has an unbelievable battery life. It will last me days before I have to charge it.
