Lavatube v1 VS. Innokin iTaste MVP 2600

[Shocked]

I am in the process of looking for my first vape... Well sorta. I had a SmokelessImage Variable Volt battery with the clearomizer that it came with for a day. I bought it off a friend, used it for a day, then sold it when another friend offered me more than I had payed for it. I loved the variable voltage feature and the ease of putting liquid into the clearomizer. Now that I have more money to spend on a better vape, I will. My local vape shop has 2 mods that I am interested in. The Lava Tube Version 1 and the Innokin iTaste MVP. I will show you what comes with each and the pricing and please tell me what is better, and what tank-clearo would work best with each.


Lavatube:
It is on sale for $50. Originally $80.
It comes with one 18650 battery, charger, manual, starter CE4 Clearo, an Ego Carry Case, and the Lavatube V1 itself.

iTaste MVP:
It is on sale for $50. Originally $80.
It comes with the iTaste, iClear 30 Dual Coil clearo, Usb Cable, beauty ring, and a transparent carrying case.

Again, please tell me which is the better deal, which is better overall, and if the clearomizers are good enough as they are or if I should upgrade to a better.

Thanks

I own the MVP 2 and it is a terrific little device. It has a rather stiff fire button which puts some people off. I like it personally. No experience with the Lavatube. Good luck and have fun!

Thanks! What are a few of the best features of it? Also, does it fit in your pocket well?

I had a lavatube v1. It broke in under three months. I do not recomend it.

How did it break? What was the issue?

Keep in mind that the lavatube goes up to 6 volts and the MVP only to 5 volts-if that matters to you or not. Personally, I would keep looking and buy the newer version of whichever device you decide on. They now have a 3rd lavatube version. The MVP2 not only has the varivolt but also does variwattage. Personally, if I stayed under 5 volts, I would buy a MVP 2 version. I have seen them for sale less than 50$.
As far as the clearomizer question: the Iclear 30 is newer technology and you can just replace the wicks when they go bad. With the ce4, you have to toss and buy a whole new one. There are so many cool vape items available. Spend some time on ecf and do your research before you spend your money. I am sure others will post and share their thoughts too. Good luck and happy vape shopping!

Thanks! I will definently keep looking. But out of the 2 which do you think is better? I don't think I would need to go above 5. On the volt on 4.8 it burnt my throat and the liquid tasted burnt. These are the best options I see online. I'm going in person this weekend to see their other choices.

Yes, it fits well, roughly the size of a pack of 100s, but a little more narrow. I only use variable wattage, love the screw on the atomizer and vape. Never liked the fiddly nature of variable wattage. I pretty much only use cartotanks thanks to Baditude and mostly run Boge F16 cartomizers, so I run at 8 watts. Any little variances in the cartomizers is handled for me by the device, no fiddling. Good luck and have fun!

If it's the old MVP and not the new MVP V2.0 I would not buy it. You can buy the new V2.0 here for $40.

Thanks guys! As of now I am leaning towards getting the MVP-MVP2 as it seems more interesting to me. I love how you can charge your phone with it and can blend in as an external battery when not being used as vape.
