I have the mvp and love it- tons of vapor , easy to adjust , and handles whatever I put on it. don't let the battery scare you off- it lasts longer than any battery I have used in the past ,recharges quickly and can actually charge your cell phone in a pinch. as for it not being replacable- by the time this battery can no longer hold a charge (years?) you will want to move on to the latest and greatest device in the pipeline-regardless of what anyone tells you that is the nature of the beast.this forum and others are full of people who had perfectly good mos and switched to something else just because- you will too even if you say you won't. the mvp is a fine ,simple , well-made mod(priced right,too.)
I own both. The Tmax is cool because it has the extra bells and whistles like reading resistance and variable wattage, but mine has issues and I've heard from others experiencing this too. There is an issue with how the battery (using an AW 18650 red jacket 2000mah) seats on the contacts. Every 3-4 vape it will start to produce very little vapor and I've even had it read "Short" before. So, I have to give it a good knock to re-position the battery and it'll be fine for a little while. This could be a very small group experiencing this, but I believe it was a rushed product and wasn't well thought out from the beginning. Originally they were going to manufacture these to take a 16340 and the vaping community started an uproar to change the design.. which lead to the 2 battery bays 1 for 18650 and 1 for 18350. Not a bad idea, but it seems like they rushed it and it ended up being a weird design and now this issue with the connection.
I would personally send you to vaporally.com to pick up one of their MVPs that have ego cone threading. Mine has been stellar since day one. The battery lasts SSOOO much longer than the 18650 you would put in the Tmax not to mention the weight and size (even though you say they don't matter). The MVP was a well thought out NICE mod. I like the Tmax, but it has some major issues that need sorted out first imo.

^^ what Gabe said.. if checking ohms and VW isn't anything you care about.. I would say get the MVP
I love mine.. don't even touch my other mods unless I need to check ohms otherwise its my all day device

Sounds like I should go for the MVP and wait for the next version of the Tmax. Thanks to you all for the responses! What a great forum!
Version 3 of the Innokin itaste MVP will have all of the bells and whistles (ohm reader, variable wattage) and will most like be out before the end of the year. Innokin just release the regular itaste with VW and resistance checker, and noted that the MVP was due as well.
The current MVP with ego threading is a killer, portable mod. Been loving mine for a month and no problems with the build quality. Innokin took all of the suggestions when V1 came out and quickly fixed the issues, so I have little doubt that Version 3 will take long to be delivered to the public.
The MVP is the best of the affordable VV box mods.

MEL VV Box Mod
i picked up a beast box for $60 and my k100 and evic have been shelved since i got it! Its a really great mod and it uses 2 26500 3000mah batts so i dont need to recharge as often. Look up grimmgreen's youtube review of it. No complaints with it whatsoever

totally agree
I bought 2 Sigelei Tmax - BOTH have major issues - One does not fire at all - 25.00 to ship it back??? I dont think so!
Lesson learned - I will wait for others to review a pv -
I am now going with Innokin MVP
I 2nd this. I have a provari and this and tend to use this one (due to battery life) a bit more. I've gone as far as 2.5 days without recharging. I agree...its inexpensive, well built, and works very well.
As much as I like the Sigelei Zmax, they dropped the ball on the Tmax, maybe they'll fix it. The MVP looks like the way to go. MVP is supposed to get another update, VW and Ohms checker, making it an even better choice. The Groove looked promising, until they started to self destruct.
Another vote for the MVP here. I do not have a Tmax. Picked up the MVP from fasttech for 45$ and I love it. Great feel, a single charge gets me more than a day and a half (Heavy vaping), 510 and ego threading, and pocket friendly. Would have liked to had a resistance checker, vw, and a replaceable battery, but for the price, I like it the way it is. Also, no PWM stutter when I vape. The 33hz stutter on my VAMO drives me crazy.
DO NOT...i repeat DO NOT GET THE FREAKING T-MAX. It should be named the fail box. It's worthless. If you must have it, send me 30 bucks on paypal and i will send you this. I used it about 5 times. It worked ok out of the box. After that, nothing but problems.
The MVP on the other hand works great and at 40-50$ out performs the crap-max.

Would you please share the source on this? I have been itching to get a box mod with variable wattage but the choices seem to be TMax(Crap) or Groove(Fire!).
Thanks

Thanks mate!
I've waited this long, I can wait a bit longer.
In case anyone else is interested:
The Link:
I know this is an old thread but I feel that we all are under the same circumstance today, still.
I weighed them both and eventually landed on the MVP. The reviews scared me off of the T-Max. If the T-Max was flawless, I would probably go with both.
I ordered the MVP because it was the most unique and versatile mod I could find that met my specific need. It's battery is twice the battery of my iphone. It works as a passthrough and is durable, making it perfect to take in the car and then pocket. It has a USB port on it to charge other devices. It's vv 3-5 volts.
Is it going to give you the same throat hit of sucking on your Vamo at 11.5 watts? No. Is it going to last longer and outperform your ego twist? Yes. Is it going to hold up well? Yes.
I got mine for $46.95 with 2 iclear 16's and a nifty charger cable that has 3 ends. I'm still anxiously awaiting a better version of the TMax, because I like the idea of being able to use a 650 as a main and a 350 as a backup. Not to mention the VW and sigelei menu. They just need to fix the issues with it before I'm putting $.
