This is one amazing PV guys! I had some problems, but found solutions and I'm SO HAPPY now.
Prefilled carts:
At first I was disappointed in the cartridges, the prefilled didn't last long and seemed that if some of the plastic/foil combination hit the atomizer it burned a nasty flavor into the remaining juice in the cart and had to be thrown out.
Solution: as soon as you suspect you're burning the cap and not wicking properly, pull it apart and clear off that cover!
Atomizer/battery fitting:
It is NORMAL for it to have a fraction of a milimeter gap for airflow. MV's amazing customer service replied to my email within MINUTES answering that question.
Atomizer:
Mine came with a bad taste at first, perhaps from burning up my prefilled cover all over it, but a handful of drip-vaping cleared out the taste, and it's perfect now. HUGE plumes of vapor! I haven't seen directions on cleaning MV atomizers, but I assume they would be fine with a running hot water bath and overnight air drying. The colors and designs are way cool.
Battery:
I have the new red ones with the red LED's and they are AWESOME. I can chain vape for a solid hour or more. I can drag/ignite it for as long as my lungs can hold >10 seconds. They are not too air sensitive; ie. I can blow right on it and it doesn't light. Even though the charge is twice as long lasting, seems like the USB charges it in not much longer time than my Volcano/BLU batteries.
Note: I read the threading is the same, so it sounds like you could use a Volcano USB charger on your battery, but I would definitely ask customer service first, esp. don't want to void warranty.
Blank Carts (MUST HAVE):
The filler SUX! Solution! Buy their blue foam (MUST HAVE), which comes with fabulous detailed directions, and you will have your DREAM CART. If you cut off the bottom 1/2 -2/3 of Volcano caps, they fit just fine on MV carts. Volcano's caps are cheaper in bulk. These carts come in COLORS. I love this!
The silver carrying case (MUST HAVE):
PERFECT. It carries an assembled cig, spare battery and 3 carts w/caps or 2 carts and 1 spare atomizer w/cap. Quality is great, and you can pick logo colors. I got the pink because it's on sale now for a mere $3.50!
PCC: I don't own this, however, I did own what I believe is the identical PCC that Volcano used before they redesigned to hold a full assembled cig. I read another review that raved about the push-down charge station vs. screw-ins from others. VERY handy if you're vaping and driving! If they redesign this in the future to hold a whole e-cig. I will end up converting from my other mini-pv's forever.
VAPOR: I liked the one reviewer's comment "Buttload and yes, that is a technical term". Please understand natural physics, if you are producing more vapor, you ARE using MORE JUICE. Dont' be surprised.
Service (Question): I cannot imagine better service. I read they ship to Canada. Do they ship worldwide? Another nice thing they do is send you a bunch of business cards with a one-time discount code for 10% off a full order!
SUGGESTIONS: Logo style stickers for fans to advertise, ie. from back window or bumper of car. Perhaps other fan memorabilia. An MV drip tip would be nice. (NOTE!! The Volcano drip tip does NOT fit the Sidesho! I don't know about the Magma one)
