I've seen a lost of posts on the MVP lately. I wanted to start a thread here in hopes that someone at Innokin or maybe one or two of our vendors might be connected with them might pass this along. I've seen similar threads about other devices and it does seem to work in that they incorporate most of the suggestions. I've seen a lot of people make suggestions but how about a thread to get them all in one spot?

Don't get me wrong, I love the MVP and its the device I prefer over the other 10 I own, still theres room for improvement.

Here's my list for what I want to see on the next version.

1. The button. Get rid of the flush mounted button and give us something clicky and big. I'd like to see it moved to either the top of the device so i can hit it with my thumb (see the VV gripper) or moved to one of the smaller sides so I can use my index finger.

2. Get rid of the puff counter, no one likes it. We also hate the idea that it tries to perform a cleaning ritual. What jamoche put that in?

3. Everyone say it with me now....AN OHM READER.

4. I wouldnt mind giving up say 1/3rd of the battery life if you could make it a bit smaller. 2600 mah is great. Works two days, but I don't really need it to go that far and I'd prefer the smaller form.

5. Some of you will say you want an 18650 I'm sure. I disagree. I like the cell phone like factor. I don't have to rotate batteries. So my opinion, keep the proprietary battery but others should weigh in.

Ok, that is all I have.

I agree with most of what you say except for the battery size. I love the battery life.

I'd like to also add the battery meter. Instead of colors, show a percentage. Like you known when you want to adjust the voltage it shows that goofy puff counter. Instead it should so what percentage the battery is at. As soon as you click up or down its goes away.

I absolutely love the button position. Perfect for my thumb. But, I do agree, I don't like how it's flush with the device.
+1 for an ohm reader.

But, I think my biggest beef with the MVP is changing the voltage. I don't like having to click the + or - button and having to wait for the puff counter to go away before I can actually change the voltage. I understand that this only adds about two seconds to the process each time, but hey, I'm a busy man! :p

The resistance reader (OHMs) will be in version three, as will the variable wattage as per the post of "what's coming from Innokin in the coming months" from a news article over at Tasteyourjuice.com when Phil met George from Innokin.

I agree, the button could be a little larger. I also wish there was an indicator light at the top as well, since when I vape, I see that better than the side where my button finger is :)

Innokin is also working on a second box mod, with removable battery (no pics yet).

Innokin does listen to feedback, and reacts quickly in previous cases (MVP non-ego threading and build of output switches). I have no trouble with the size of the unit; it's comfortable and portable and solid in my hand.

Well, I apologize if this is duplicating another thread. I did a rudimentary search and while a lot of them discussed the MVP and improvements, most of the were people asking for review/opinions. I'm ready for the new version.

Wasn't aware of the article on Phil's site. Going over there now, and thanks for pointing it out.

You guys and all of your MVP posts are seriously making me want to go and get one to play with. Damnit! :2cool:

Last time I checked it was about $50. Probably cheaper at fast tech. I have two already. Not owning one is just plain dumb, lol. It has its own battery so you don't even need to by any. Comes with two clearos too.

should it bought it from ivape (only $55, with free shipping, which only took 2 days, if you use the coupon code in the description on the page).

If I buy something, I want it now! :evil: Not in 3 weeks...

I agree completely, i am way to impatient. Thanks for the tip on the price at ivape jefsview. You guys convinced me i will stop on the way home tonight and add some money to the vape-card and order one this evening. :D

I agree with #1

I'm used to it now, but I'd like a button that wasn't flush mounted too. I agree with your other points as well but the button sorta bugged me.

I'd pay twice that for an MVP if i had to...so whether its 39$ or 55$, it's worth it. Get one. You won't be sorry.

I don't know how many people use their mvp to charge another device, it would be better if it only had the chargin port on the bottom imho. They will stick the SVD board on the new MVP and be done with it, which is fine in my book :p

Innokin should start making i30's and i16's in glass before changing their whole line up of mods
