ya know, I really think the best device on the market
is the VaporShark dna 40s
for the : Price / Size / Features , they go beyond all others
then Made In USA is a warm fuzzy feeling
and to me, the sizes are so close, makes no difference
$159-DNA 2.94 x 1.50 x .88
$189-rDNA 3.25 x 1.67 x .95
but it is just not my style to spend so much on vaping
so its not in my dna
(pun intended) JMO
yepper, I plopped the 20W in at last moment
thinking it needed to be at least, in the picture...
not proportionally sound though
yepper, I thought of correcting that also
from end cap to end cap
the MVP body (2.0 & 20W)
is 95 mm (no ego threads)
About to start on my 4th full charge on my MVP 3(counting the initial factory charge as the first).
Considering how much juice I've been going through and how high I usually have the wattage...the battery life is pretty impressive.
The yellow light timing is still a slight annoyance, but nowhere near enough for me to give this thing anything less than 5/5 if this were a review :3
If you're still on the fence about getting one, just do it lol. Or wait until the price drops more then get one

so I just heard on the news...
the dock-workers strike off US west coast
which has held 100's of ships at idle for weeks
has been resolved...
now cargos from ASIA may be delivered
yea-baby, lots of ecig products hitting shelves

Great news.....
Ha, yeah. Lately, it seemed to be staring at the door.
Good deal. I though maybe it wasn't hitting as hard as it used to, but I suspect it's my attys.
I have been eyeballing the iStick 30W.

Same usage? Same coil configuration and resistance?
Same power setting?
How do you determine to stop using the 18650?
Are you using it in a mechanical mod or something with regulation?
All could cause the differences you see.
Also, what's the source for the cells? A lot if used, "recovered" cells out there with little known about the history.
Lots a false cells too. They wrap a 1500mAH battery with a label that says 2600. Or use poor quality cells that loose capacity in a few cycles.
If you have access to a tester, I'd suggest you put your 18650 cells on it and see what it shows as the capacity.
You probably see that they are not 2600 mAH anymore, maybe they never were.
It's pretty simple... 'Battery A' != 'Battery B'. Batteries are designed and manufactured to have different properties. If everything else is the same (exact use case, ambient temp, etc), then the two batteries have wildly different discharge characteristics. Pretending that each 'day' you listed is equal... I would have to guess that your 18650 is junk. now... if you aren't putting the same battery into the same mod with the same atty and using it exactly the same... I could understand there being differences, but I figure your stated comparison was fair by design. There is always the chance that the mod used to test the 'round' battery just isn't anywhere nearly as efficient as the MVP at voltage conversion or has a (much) higher voltage input min.
I just finished checking the output of some batteries... and the first charge/discharge cycle yielded 2511, 2486, 2485 & 2435mA from brand new '2500mAh' 18650 batteries... which is GREAT since I only discharged them to 3V (versus the 2.5V the 2500mAh rating is based on) and they are brand new (which means it will take a few charge/discharge cycles to get best results).
Were you using the same atty/coil both times?
What mod were you using the 'round' battery in?
What model is the 'round' battery?
What output wattage(or voltage) were you using with what coil resistance?
Your post may have provided me with the inspiration to desolder the battery from a brand new MVP20W so I can put it on the same battery tester to see the results

This was true for the LG He2, Samsung 25r, Panasonic NCR18650Pf. All last about 1 day for me in any mod. All 1.6 ohm coils. 8 watts
My one year old MVPs at 8w and 2 ohm coils are going around 500-600 puffs before yellow. If it is late in the day, I just charge them. Rare that I get in the 700s before red comes on.
I paid 80.80 for two shipped then. Good value for me. Used them as ohm meters when building. Learned about different coils and ohms and clearos and drippers with them.

the Tesla S model sedan (electric car) has 7,100 18650 Li-Ion batteries in it
The battery is guaranteed for eight years or 125,000 mi
after 8 years, battery replacement costs :
$10,000 for the 60 kWh battery,
$12,000 for the 85 kWh battery
{VaporShark will replace the single 18650 for $25}
two years ago I didnt know what an 18650 was
two battery pak models (230 miles / 362hp) & (320 miles / 416hp)
battery swapping can be done @ $60-$80 a shot (appx price tank of fuel)
takes about 90 seconds to swap...
price for the 5 seat (+ 2 rear facing jump seats) range: $70k to $105k
wonder if it has a plug-in for my MVP ?

boy-o-boy, Ive said it before but worth saying again
the high powered mini wars are a raging !
along with all the new subΩtanks
say a - .1Ω @ 82Watts
whats the juice mileage on that ??
and how does that feel going down your throat ?
wonder what daily battery life is and how battery stress
plays in before needing replaced
- - -
imagine sitting in an outdoor café, off the beaten path
say in Cairo, Guadalajara, Omaha, or Istanbul a tall glass of scotch in one hand,
a Sigelei 150W with an Aspire Atlantis in the other
yellow stained fingers; match carrying people,
looking at you like you just transported down from your space vehicle
as you calmly exhale thick pungent clouds of what they think is smoke
then a finger in the air toward the roving bar-keep
a large hot coffee please, best you have now thank you
the locals just look on with amazement as you
release another thick cloud, the size of a refrigerator, then another sip -
- ahh, aint the 21st century wonderful

The Tesla just had a target painted on it for vaping carjackers.
I wonder if my MVP could charge IT!!!
hey wow ! had not thought of that
would be a very fascinating conundrum
should I vape, or charge my car
you my friend get a GOLD STAR for today
and a "ATTA-BOY"

Now you're going to look at the Istick50 again for the larger mah...
