Aside from battery life, I find nothing about the MVP that's better than the iStick. In fact, it seems every change Innokin has made on the MVP device mirrors what the iStick already had (more powerful, side-firing button, removable ego dongle). Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery is it not?
And you act as though the IPV Mini is some fragile device (...damaged a lot easier.)...I gotta say, mine feels every bit the brick my MVP is.
