MPV V2 power button

[Saltraker]

Why did innokin bother to put a power button on the bottom of the MPV? Am I wrong to think that as long as you don't put a USB into the power out slot, power isn't going anywhere? So, why not just leave the port "hot" and do away with the power button? Am I missing something?

As a side note, I love my MVP. But I wish innokin did not incorporate the power out as a feature. I'll never use it...anyone else use it? If they left this feature off, or offered it as an option, it could reduce the price a couple bucks for those of us who don't need the feature. Comments?

I don't understand the reason for the button myself, but then I don't understand a lot of things. I once charged each my cell phone and iPod Touch with my MVP, just to see if it works. It does.

 

[JmanEspresso]

yeah and then it would stand up without wobbling.

wierd.


I got to use the MVP a couple times, Its been one Ive wanted to get but havent yet. Sharp lookin.

Probably so you don't get a short carrying it in your pocket.

Without a switch the USB would always be hot and a key finding its way in there could ruin your day.

I think it's an awesome feature for you to have on an APV! Can't tell you how many times I've been stuck with low batteries on my cell phone and needed a quick charge. I just got the MPV V2 and just love it. I ground down the bottom power switch with no issues at all so now it sits up well without being unstable. Just my thoughts.

 

[OzarkTroutBum]

You can just press the button in a little to stop the wobble. I did it to my V1 and the V2 came flush and didn't have that problem.

Two Innokin designer/engineers chatting about the "as yet unnamed box vaporizing device" - translated from Mandarin.

D1."Wow!... this is going to be a great (and healthful) device for vaporization!"

D2. "Yes... a wonderful device. We have so much power - 2600mAh - we can do more within this huge housing!"

D1. "But what? A cell phone perhaps?"

D2. "No... to costly. How about a small TV, or GPS, or... I am at a loss, nothing of usefulness is possible within our $12 budget."

D1. I know! A power output port!!! With an on/off switch so some "dillweed" (unsure of translation) doesn't create explosive sparkage in their pockets."

D2. "Mr. Dèng... you are very wise! It can be used to power all the many devices that the Americans, Europeans and Australians carry around with them. You will certainly be promoted to manager some day soon for your great ideas!"

D1. "Why... thank you Mr. Chiao. It is my deepest hope to become manager of the Health & Happiness dept. some day... and for your most wise contribution, I will carry you with me to a position of authority."

D2. "Thank you Mr. Dèng. According to my calculations, it is possible within our $12 budget, to include a switchable power outlet."

D1. "Now... let us set to work, so that we can demonstrate this idea to our esteemed managers."

And now the two men offer hearty (and healthful) congratulations to one another... and break for lunch.

The End.

I was hoping for an MP3 player in the V3 model. The logo on the side can read "Taste it, Listen it, Love It!"

Wholesale will have to go up ya' know... at least $3.50. At the retail level... $275.00

I just got the MVP 2.0 and it is a great device

have you seen the youtube of it torn apart to fix a faulty micro usb charge port
and it shows the TWO HUGE FLAT 2200mAh batteries ?? (whats up with that)
got me thinking, what if one battery was for "vaping" other for "charging"
and the 'on-off' switch is so you CAN'T hook the power cord across the two terminals
and confuse the onboard circuit board - with the switch, it has to be one or the other

(how's that for a theory)

This guy has one torn apart says its two 3.7 volt 2200mah batteries. They would have to be wired in series for the unit to be able to fire at voltages above 3.7.

So they power either or both features. If you run the battery completely down charging your phone you won't be able to continue vaping. I don't know about you but I'd rather have power for vaping and not for talking to someone on the phone.

Not true at all. With a boost circuit an individual battery will fire up to at least 6v.

Good call. Electricity was never one of my strong points.

Did you know that in the Ozarks... you can power a atty with a Trout... Bum?

We used to use a car battery with a coat hanger and a dirty sock coil to vape the leav'ins in my granmas spit cup before all these fancy geegaws came out.

And we LIKED it.

I was fine... until we hit "grandmas spit cup".

all right you jokers here"s one --- ----

on a twist, if your holding the fire button (vaping) "can you twist it up or down"

and tell coil difference by taste ? ? ?
