well, well....

look at that, all new and shiny in here :thumbs:

looks like it's gonna be somewhat a new learning curve

:confused:

Take the number one site out there and then mess with it. I can't find anything and very likely won't bother trying. I wish people wouldn't mess with things that aren't broken. But hey, there are new and exciting features to be had if you will pay for them.

    If it has the problem with only the one tank, it is the tank that is the problem and replacing the device will not solve the problem. Since you have tried several heads, it is likely not to be a shorting problem, but rather a connection problem between the head and the pin in the airflow controller or between the pin of the airflow controller and the firing pin of the device.

    I would first remove the airflow controller (the base of the subtank mini), thoroughly wash and dry it, blowing into it from the top to blow out any excess moisture. Before replacing the head, make sure that the bottom is completely clean and free of any dirt or gunk. Also, make sure to screw the head back into the base firmly to ensure it is in all the way.

    If this does not solve the problem, you can also try to push the pin of the airflow controller out just a little bit. The handle of the blue screwdriver that came with your subtank should be the perfect size for this. Do not push the pin out too far--just enough that it is sticking out beyond the threads of the 510 connector. Then replace the head and try again.

    I sent the battery back, they said it was working fine, so you are right it must be a connection problem. I still am skeptic, though. If two tanks were having crazy readings, how did they at least not spot that? They resent it back to me today so should hopefully be here early next week.

    well now, that sux
    where did you get it ??

    I agree it sounds like a device glitch (needs replaced)
    I’d go with Capt’n advice and procure another one
    tell your vendor, they SHOULD fix your issue

    don’t hesitate, sooner the better…

    good luck
    :)
    I got it from aquavaporcig.com. According to them it is fine because I sent it back, but there is no way they did not get crazy readings like I did. If I get the battery back and test it with multiple tanks and it does the same stuff, I am going to bug the mess out of them until they do something about it or contact somebody who will. I am very persistent!

    Good luck with that, SouthernMissfan. Let us know if the problem persists.

    I certainly will. I just hope nothing dangerous is wrong, but I doubt there is other than crappy readings and the connection thread (which very easily could be my kanger sub tank).

    MVP 3.0 - seen this good deal, thought I'd pass it along

    seems prices are starting to slowly drop...

    now we're getting to a good deal for an excellent device

    $39.54 with coupon YEAHBABY

    - PVS & Mods | Innokin iTaste MVP 3.0 Kit | VaporBeast

    :)


    That is a good price and still about 24 hours left if they don't sell out first. And last week I just got another MVP20w for a backup from them. Gosh I wish I would of waited now, yet I really don't need the MVP3.0 now and I not into sub ohms. Still tempting

    Me too! Just got another 20w and I don't sub ohm either so I don't really need the 3.

    I wanted to do a quick update on my MVP3. I tan also getting jumping readings. It is possible it is the head on my protank 2. Have changed the head three times and have had the same problem. Reading jumps around from 2.2 to 2.7, 3.0, 3.7, 4.4
    Check the pin in 510 connector of your tank--it can be pushed out a little more to make a connection. I suspect that the MVP 3 pins are pretty stiff and push the pins in tank bases back quite a bit.

    I did, and it is still having issues. The company I ordered the tank from is sending me a replacement. For now I will just use the adapter that came with the MVP. Looks pretty wonky that way.

    Tried this as well, starting to get disappointed with the MVP3... Which sucks because I love the MVP2. Have tried my kanger subtank with a factory made .5 coil and it's registering .7-2.5. Slightly better than my protank which registers up to 6 now.
