The VTR is an awesome device...It very heavy...and It vapes like a monster...
However..
Its a fingerprint magnet!
I recently sent my defective VTR back To MVS...They sent me a brand new one...
but...
I didn't wipe my fingerprints off the device I returned!!!!

Damn man. You live hard on the edge too like me. Here's a couple things that I can probably share on the net, being I'm semi-anonymous.

Allegedly
1. I have returned VHS tapes in the past without rewinding them.
2. I have eaten an apple without washing it.

Jay-dub, I may have to claim dumb, and beg forgiveness on this one. I just weighed both without batteries or tanks. The VTR weighed 279 grams. The i134 weighed 274 grams.

My VTR does have a wrap, and being it's a VTR wrap it's a pretty big one. But there's no way I can tell at this point how much weight that adds.

My guess is they are very close, with perhaps the VTR weighing a tad more. A very small tad!

best regards, larry mac

I looked at the MVP too....and thought the same thing. That being said is the VTR worth the extra $$?

the mvp is a battery; a big one; and it's a passthrough battery too - you can charge while you vape.

the vtr is a container for a standard sized battery;


there's also a new thing around called a .... e-vtc or something that tries to merge the two.

a cheaper alternative to the vtr would be the svd; the svd is a tube, not a box.

Few questions. I have a Natural and I'm looking at a VV unit. I like this thing. Question though. It takes an 18650 battery, which I thought was 3.7v

However the unit is VV up to 6.0V.

How is that possible with the battery being 3.7V? Am I missing something?

Also, will my AGA T+ atomizers fit or do I need something smaller? If so, what is the most reliable atomizer for the thing?
Sorry, I'm jumping in on this late and don't have a ton of time to research at the moment but figured I'd ask here.

Any tips / info appreciated.

Thanks.

It bumps the voltage up electronically; chopper, dc to ac conversion or something; usually end up with a ripple waveform and not necessarily a steady dc;

I'm no expert, and have no idea how it's done. However, I do know that many electrical devices use capacitors of one kind or another (there are many) to temporarily drastically increase voltage. From 110 to 50000 volts in the old CRT televisions. Your outside AC compressor does the same thing. Even some fan motors require more voltage to get the fan blade turning initially, then much less to keep it going. That's why many fan switches have the highest setting when you first turn them on, and then go to medium, low. if they started out on low, they'd need more help, which would necessitate higher manufacturing costs.

From wiki on capacitors: ....... "even a seemingly innocuous device such as a disposable camera flash unit powered by a 1.5 volt AA battery contains a capacitor which may be charged to over 300 volts".......

I've seen this same question asked several times. You'd think someone on the forum would know how APV's do this.
