Hello everyone. I'm thinking about getting an MVP v2.0 soon, and an Igo-W along with it, so I'm wondering if this combination will work? I did some research around, and noticed that an Igo-W won't work well on a regulated device such as the ego-c twist. I heard many great things about the features of an mvp v2.0, but I don't want to get it to be only disappointed if it doesn't work with the Igo-W. Any input on this, guys? Thanks for taking the time looking at this because I'm not sure if the question has already been asked before, but I tried searching on my own, but to no avail.

The MVP 2.0 and both the Igo-L and Igo-w (clones) i have work great together, you shouldn't have any issues.

Where are you getting your MVP from?

101vapes has the MVP2 for 39.99 and shipping is 2.99 I think. I have one. Love it. I will watch the video and see what they are talking about. The MVP does have a limit to the watts and volts that is lower than most other mods and if you are using sub ohm coils, it would not work. Maybe they are referring to this. Speculation only until I watch the vid.

The other thread you noted does say the Igo L and W will not fire on the MVP due to pin issues. Hummm. I have an Igo W on the way and will try it on my MVP. Hope it works but if not, I will just use it on my ZMax. I think the MVP is great as a second mod. I would not have it as my only APV but would be a great first upgrade from ego/evod batteries. I love my evod batteries but I have never regretted upgrading.

I have an MVP V2 and it reads NON on several of my attached devices. I am always pulling the pin on my toppers to get them to fire. Since the IGO-L I have doesn't have a center pin, it is impossible to use it on the MVP, so I resort to my trusty eGo batts. While I first loved the MVP, its refusal to work with so many of my attachments has left a bad taste. Maybe I got a lemon, IDK. And I don't really have a solution to the problem, either.

I'm not looking to vape with sub-ohm coils on the mvp v2.0, but it seems like i can vape the Igo-W as a single coil rda, and I'm content with that. The question now is there a safe ohm level that won't cause the mvp v2.0 to explode in my hand/face when vaping? I just briefly read about current (amperes) of the battery and how it affects the vaping experience, so I'm just curious.
 
Unfortunately, it has recently been discovered that the person who designed the connection for the MVP is brain dead and should be fired. The center pin on the MVP is REALLY far down there. It will not read a majority of the attys I threw on it. It works with a 510-510 adapter. But I mean ..., it should work as is right? Not to mention it looks odd af with that adapter.

If I'm correct the MVP 2.0 will fire as low as a .9 coil. But what's the point of that if it won't read anything? Design flaw? I think yes.

In theory, I think the MVP runs on a standard 18650, even though it's high milliamp hours, most 650 amperage limitations are around 10amps, so the battery inside the MVP can handle around 9v on a .9 coil. But there's no way all those lil components, resistors, microprocessor,boost circuits, etc. can handle all that. I'm assuming the amp limit on the MVP with internals included, is around 3ish amps? 4ish maybe? Which is like 4v on a .9? I think?

FWIW....I've used my IGO-L on my MVP v2 for a couple of weeks now....with no problems from either the mod OR the RDA....
Using a 2.0 ohm single coil, BTW....Getting some GREAT clouds And taste!!:D
I'll say it again, though....BE CAREFUL trying to fire the MVP v2 with LESS THAN 1.0 OHM!!! It MAY fire, but you're pushing the envelope at under 1 ohm!! Your MVP just MIGHT turn into an IED!!!!8-o
STAY SAFE!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!

Hi everyone, I'm new here! :toast:

I wanted to take advantage of an open thread and ask a question about the MVP2. Does the MVP's ohm-reader read below 1.0 ohm?

I just started with mechanical mods, k100 + igo-W. I also have an ego-t + protank,bcc mega,vivinova,etc.
Now, I need a variable voltage device with a ohm reader that reads sub-ohm builds for my igo-w.
If the MVP doesn't read sub-ohm, what device do you guys recommend that will do the job? perhaps with a passthrough?

One last question for those of you who know about mech mods. Is it this TrustFire Dual Charger bad or are these 18350/18650 batteries slow to charge? It takes freaking forever...and I'm pretty sure my batteries are legit.

Thanks

I'm running the MVP 2.0 and the IGO-W. The vendor I worked with to get the IGO-W over the weekend advised me to start building coils with 28 gauge Kanthal. Well, that worked out pretty decent when I was building single coils, but I wanted duals. Last night I built a dual coil, 2.8 ohms each. Long story short, 28 gauge is way too thick to use on an MVP 2.0 for dual coils... test firing I could barely get them lit up in the center before the 10 second timeout, and as suspected, attempting to vape this setup resulted in little to no vapor production.

I'm going to grab some 32 or smaller today and see if I can make the MVP 2.0 a winner with this RDA; otherwise I'll spend some more $$ on a mech setup.
