everyone's taste is different....but if you like mt baker, I would highly suggest madtown vapor ( :lol: I highly recommend them anyways)
every vendor obviously does better at some juices over others but I will admit, to date, madtown vapor has not let me down....
feel free to browse around in either my ecf blog http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/shadav/4760-my-juice-review-good-bad-wt_.html or ecf forum thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ews/453421-my-juice-reviews-good-bad-wt_.html
both the same info but some people seem to prefer blogs over forum or vise-versa ;)

feel free to grab 2 free juices + shipping for new members at Madtown vapor: SAMPLE INFO you will not be let down :) quality and price are awesome

another one that I have been pleasantly surprised by is The Refuge : THE REFUGE - Signature E-Liquid

Wow, after all the info that you got I'm impressed that you can make a decision! I wish I had ordered what you are about to order when I decided to upgrade. Let me know how it works out for you because I am seriously eyeing that MVP.

As far as juice goes I am really loving nicoticket. I think you might really enjoy betelgeuse. It is really bright and tasty right out of the mailbox.I also really LOVE the creme brulee. I have a bunch of Nicoticket flavors and at least like all of them. Which is rare for me as I am super picky. When I go to local shops I usually try 5-10 flavors and may only find 1 buy. Usually I am buying one as a courtesy for taking care of me not because it is as good as any of my nicoticket juices. Other stuff I really like is Vaping Rabbit's Hatter, Alice and White Queen. Or The Vapor Spot's Clapton, a vanilla creme that is awesome. I also like their Cash. It is a really strong tobacco flavor that I only like mixed with other stuff. I haven't gotten into the other popular brands. I chose DIY instead and am loving that.

As far as upgrades go MVP2 is under powered at the price in my opinion. For lots of people it is an awesome device. But I screwed up and dripped some juice at a vapor bar and simply can't go back to my tanks. I walk around with a damned sigelei and a bottle of juice. My vote is sigelei if you can afford one. but with batteries and charger its a little pricey. kayfun on an istick would be a sweet option. or a nautilus. Loved my nautilus's flavor until i started dripping.

you have more power on the iStick than you do the MV P2. the MVP2 only goes up to 11watts. with a nautilus with bvc coil, you may need more power. the iStick goes up to 20watts and you can increase the wattage in .1 increments as opposed to .5 on the MVP2.

battery life is a tad longer on the MVP, but, having both, i prefer the iStick,though i have quite a few cana mods:

mvp and istick are the same price, too.

Sambuca,
I am in the same predicament that the op is in as far as equipment. I have been going back and forth between the istick and mvp for the past two weeks. I understand that the istick has more power but I don't understand what more power will do as far as flavor. Also, I have been leaning toward the mvp because of it's longer battery life; is the istick really that close to it as far as use between charges?

Good choices all! :) And just for information, the Five Pawns most likely won't need to steep... they have "born on" dates that are usually about 2~ months out.

the mvp lasts a bit longer. hard to say just how much, though. my last mvp is gathering dust, i use the heck out of those 4 isticks.

it's isn't just power, though that is big, esp if you get into bvc coils in the naughties. you will have to go above 11 watts for some juices. the other important factor is the .1 increments vrs .5; it's more control.

if you can wait, rumor is that the istick will have a v2 out, soon. istick is much smaller and lighter. they feel great in the hand.

if i was getting one now, i'd still get the istick over mvp. not even a contest.

if you're getting naughties, go with the iStick. they fit much better in your pocket than an mvp.

a little explanation:

on the mvp, you have 6 to 11 watts in .5 increments, that's 11 positions. with the iStick,just going to 11 watts, you have like 2 watts to 11, in .1 increments. on 6-11, you have like 59 positions to vape on. add all the extra choices, below 6 and over 11, you have more than a hundred choices. that's where the contest ends!

stick will go down to like 3 volts vers 3.3, but 4.6 is max on the mvp and you can go 5.5volts on the iStick.

imo, no contest at all.

Thanks, I'm "probably" (lol) going to go with the iStick.
As far as tanks go though seeing as you probably have a large collection, have you tried both the nautilus and aerotank and can recommend which one you like better on the iStick? Also, if there a performance difference between the original size and mini versions or is that just preference? Thanks. :)

I am kind of holding out for some sales so maybe I can chill and not order anything until the v2 is out (I doubt it, lol). I have a nauti mini with BVC and that alone is a huge improvement over my cheapo Aspire CE5 tanks (but they got me off the cigs, so they will always hold a special place in my heart). Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. I believe I got it!

I'm definitely thinking I'm going to get the iStick, Nautilus Mini with extra BVC coils, and some of that pre-steeped Five Pawn juice.

Muahaha he he he, I don't know how I'm going to sleep until I have all this in my hands.
Last night I had a dream that I had my nautilus and I was just laying in my bed vaping, vaping, just vaping away until I woke up.

once dual coils came out, i stopped using kanger products. the mini has better features, but it's really about tank size. i like big tanks.

with the mini, you will find the need to go over 11 watts. less with the 1.8, but def with the 1.6 ohm coils. i have a few juices i go 13.6 watts on. jack-o-lantern on 13.6 watts is heavenly. beserker is good on 11.9. can't do either with an mvp. lemon bar is better over 11 watts, too.

Sorry I am kind of electrically stupid that is why I don't want to get a mech mod right now, on the istick do you adjust the voltage too? Or are you just changing the watts? What do you keep your voltage on with the 1.6 and 1.8 coils or do you adjust that too depending on the juice? Thanks.
