Any avid video gamer should conceivably have the strength to press a 2LB spring loaded button.
Just saying.
Just saying.
It seems like Innokin is doing the right thing and listening to the people that they send products to for review (The Venerable Mr.s pbusardo, GrimGreen, VapinGreek, etc) when it comes to little things that could make a "good mod a great mod" to quote Mr. Busardo.
It wouldn't surprise me if the next thing they fixed was the Output On/Off switch not being completely flush with the bottom.
This!!! ^ ^ ^
For me....this combo is vaping Nirvana!!! Granted, I paid a bit more (101vapes wasn't running their $40 "Blowout" at the time....!
) but I find the IGO-L gives me a LOT more flavor than my PT2's or Mini's EVER will!!My advice...RUN...do NOT walk...to your keyboard and order an MVP v2....what you top it with is up to you.....but the MVP v2, for the price, just can't be beat!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!
I have both the MVP1 and the MVP2. I really enjoyed the MVP1 button, but the MVP2 button is fine too - just different. You get used to it very quickly. MVPs are simply wonderfully practical little guys, well worth having.
I got mine a few days ago and, as others have said, they seem to have fixed the button and the wobble. It's more pressure than I use for my SVD, but only slightly stiffer than my ego-C Twists required (those were a little harder to press than my SVD, both of which went off in my pocket a few times). I've been using it almost exclusively since I got it, and it's been perfect.
Love it, have two, use them daily. Anybody over the age of 5 can push that button without a problem, but it is stiffer than my zmax. At $40, I can't imagine a better deal. My only complaint is the center pin connection issue. If that we're perfect, the mvp2 would be perfect! (IMHO, as they say)
Not for me it isn't.... I like it because I know it is not going to fire in my pocket. Don't let that stop you from getting this awesome device.... I've had mine for over 2 months and I love it!!
Bottom line, it is stiffer then most other APV's out there. People used to smaller Ego's and "sticks" are going to notice a difference.
This is a plus to many because it means you don't have to worry about misfires.
If you try to treat it like a "stick" and press the button with the tip your thumb or index finger, you will not like it. I know I didn't at first.
If you hold it like a cell phone, your thumb naturally will rest across the button, a slight squeeze of the box in your hand and you're good.
I don't really like to go Steve Jobs on you. but if you find the button uncomfortable... "you're holding it wrong".

The button on my MVP 2 does not seem to be too stiff. I have the SVD as well, and that button is really stiff. This thread made me notice something: all of my other mods have buttons which protrude slightly-I have a bunch.
The Innokin products seem to have a button that is slightly recessed or almost flush with the housing. Even the Itaste has the same feature.
That has its good and bad points. I have gotten into the habit of firing my devices with the side of my thumb. On the Innokin stuff, you have to hit the firing button with the tip of the thumb to get it to fire, almost like an Ego, although the firing buttons on the Innokin products are a lot bigger.
Instinctively, it's easier to find an elevated button which might go off in your pocket. A recessed or flush button requires you to be more deliberate, but it's like learning to play a musical instrument: repeat an motion often enough, and it becomes instinctive as well. A mod does not require a lot of repetition to get the "feel" of it. It's probably those first few vapes that throw you off.

I have had mine for about 48 hrs. IMHO the fire button is down right delightful, good positive click. The unit I have breaks at less than a lb. of pressure. They seem to have fixed the wobble issue as well, or at least they did on my unit. The power output button on mine is slightly recessed.
I also watched that video, and It never scared me away because I know a button would not defeat me, but now that i have had it for a few months, it's not noticable.
Battery life on my MVP v2 is close to 3 days. Fire button is a little stiff but really not a big deal.
i got my 2.0 when they pretty much first came out and i love it all around like any device the mind starts thinking well what if this was here or this worked like that but in all extremely happy with mine the button was a lil firmer than most when i got it not sure if i just got used to it cuz its pretty much all i use now or if it has worn in but never gave me any problems from day one as far as button press and for price its an extremely great device
the button is a PITA,,,,,
but it's a solid little TANK. It would be perfect for your needs,,,,,,no, I wouldn't call it a deal breaker.

I like the stiffer button myself, I had the itaste v3 before the MVP2, and when in my ego case it would fire, even when turned off it would end up getting turned on, don't have that problem with the MVP2, can put it in my pocket and not worry about it firing, I never bother turning it off because no need too.
uhhhhhhhhh I disagree,,,,,
I've held it every which way,,,,,and used every part of my thumb,,,,,,,,it's very stiff.
