MVP v2 HELP!!

[Pizza1984]

Well...normally mvp will go 1-1.5 days at 9 watts and constant usage.
Today however, it didn't even make it 8 hours of moderate usage at work after being fully charged.
From what the instructions say, the indicator light goes from green to yellow (half charged) to red (needs charging).
There was a 1 drag gap between yellow and red.

Anybody have any input? I'd appreciate it!

1.8 ohm dual coil aerotank 2 at 9 watts.

How old is it?

It usually isn't long from yellow to red. I don't think half charge is half used. Red is about 3.3v, half of 4.2 is 2.1 and it won't go that low.

Anyway the older it gets, the less time you will get. Make sure you charged it till the light turns off.

Best bet with the MVP is just to throw it on the charger every night when you sleep. If you ever let it get all the way to red, then recharge it, it'll never be as strong as it used to be. I learned that.

But my first one has lasted well over a year and is still chugging along. It's dying, but it's still performing -- just not for as long a duration.

It's a month old. I wouldn't expect it to be dying so rapidly....
I charge it typically every night.
I noticed that my wife's actually is red then yellow while charging then green etc.
Mine is green the second it's on the charger after being dead.
Makes me wonder if I've got a bad one...
Hard thing to prove at my local vape shop. But I'm going to take it in and see if they will exchange it...or give me a store credit towards a mech and rda

The light should come on as soon as you plug it up. It goes off after it reaches full charge. That's for a v2. A v1 may be different.

Use a cell phone charger that ouputs 2Amp. Most USB ports that are 500mA rated, are lower then that. So the battery on the stick is not getting enough current when it gets charged, even if its fully charged.

If that doesnt solve the issue after 3 full charges with 2Amp charger, then toss it and get another one, or take it apart and replace the battery.

This is complete nonsense.

When the MVP is charging, if you have let it get all the way to red, it will first go to yellow then green. It doesn't take very long for this to happen, though.

 

[Smann245]

And it's not done charging until the green light goes out.

Thanks for the help guys.
Charging using my iPad 4wall charger and stock mini USB the MVP 2 came with. Died today after 8 hours.
But I spoke with the local vape owner. He said he may be able to warranty it, cuz it sounded fishy to him as well.
Hopefully he will give me store credit instead and I'll just go mechanical lol
