MVP v2: Is The Fire Button Really a Deal Breaker?

[FringeChief68]

I just finished watching Pbusardo's review on the MVP v2 and I went into it specifically wanting to know about the pressure required for the fire button. And sure enough he hit on it big. Less than a pound of pressure to fire the ProVari, and over 2 for the MVP v2. I'm really interested in it for the build quality and durability, but I was looking for more user input from you guys on if it's seriously that huge of a deal.

The Button on mine is fine.
You got to remember some of the devices PBusardo gets are not what is sold to everyone else.
He gets a lot of stuff that is sent out before production starts, For the main reason to get feed back on what might need changed before production starts.

My main problem with my MVP v2 is that getting different tanks to work on it can be a pain in the .....

I love my MVP 2 as well. It's different from my vv3, and I need to use it differently. The button "issue" is easy to overlook compared to it's insane battery life. And as many people here have mentioned, the button is really a matter of preference. Many prefer a stiffer throw because it lessens the chance of it accidentally misfiring in your pocket or bag.

One thing I have noticed about many of pbusardo's reviews is that he tends to make mountains out of mole hills. On two videos for the MVP1 and MVP2 he mentioned he wanted either slide out connectors or retractable cabling as a part of it's charging function. A retractable charging cable Phil? +10 for cool, - infinitity for when that retractable cable "jams on you". Way to criticize functionality that absolutely no other APV even has....

But my biggest gripe about the MVP2, (and it's a really really small one), is the ease of switching between vw and vv mode.

On the vv3, you had to hit a button combination that you just can't accidentally perform to switch modes. This means if you are in variable wattage or variable power mode, you KNOW you'll stay in that mode.

On the MVP 2, if you press the p button, you are in power mode, if you press the u button you are in voltage mode.

I found myself last night vaping away and then noticing the flavor and vapor just went away. Then I realized I had used the puff counter to check my usage and had hit the u button instead of the p button. As a result, I went from 6.5 watts to 3.3 volts.... My bad....

It's a training issue, I know. I'm used to the vv3 and I have to realize this is not a vv3.

Bottom Line is that from a price/performance standpoint, there is absolutely nothing that comes close to the MVP2 hands down...

I am almost tempted to say this is a Provari Killer, as it's performance is VERY close to a Provari both in voltage regulation and output signal.

It has exceptional build quality. The only downside is that it's essentially a disposable unit, if you consider a 1 to 2 year life span disposable.

These things can be picked up at around 40 bucks right now. At this price, you basically get ProVari performance, but if you do "lose it", it won't sting as bad as losing a +$150.00 ProVari. The MVP2 allows you to take performance with you out of the house allowing you to keep "My Precious" safe and secure at home.

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.

Whats funny is that i purchase an MVP2 today and they HAVE seemed to address it. No wobble here!

I ordered one, will be here Tuesday. Just in time for me to get over this black plague I attracted.

 

[Simply Red]

Just ordered one today from 101Vape and yes. Still $40.

Happy Vaping!

 

[Bootlegger66]

Not a big deal.

 

[JoeDerty]

Not a big deal at all best $40 I've ever spent buy one!!!

Mine has been addressed as well as stated in my previous post. No wobble here either. My friend got his the same day I did from 101vape and his has no wobble either. They seem to have addressed this issue and I'm thinking the stiff button issue as well. I couldn't be much happier with my MVP2.

No wobble, no loose power output button on the bottom, and the fire button is perfect for me. Seems the issues have been fixed. I like that it doesn't fire as easily as my VV v3. Also, the lack of a retractable charging cable is a complete non issue. In my house with a husband who can't seem to be gentle with anything but his daughter and two kids, a non retracting cable is one less thing that can break. In fact, one of the retracting cables that came with my original ego set ups DID break the other day. Thankfully I have others. In fact, I think one of the multiple heads on the MVP 2's charger should do the trick. It's the only charger I need for ALL my vape gear. It's a great deal. I've only had it a couple of days, but in that time it has been dropped down subway stairs and stomped on after I dropped it trying to chase down my two yr old. It's still alive and vaping beautifully. It's something I would, and have been recommending to anyone considering moving a step up to a VV or VW device.

I'm clocking in at a stout 5'6, so it shouldn't be too big of deal. My hands aren't huge or small.

Had mine for just barely a week and am happy with it. Got mine for $43 after tax from 101vape. It's better than an Evod twist but not by a huge amount. I got it for the ohm reading for building tanks vaping and I liked the VW part of it. So it was a good device for what I needed. If not for the ohm readout, I would have been almost just as happy with another Evod twist.

If someone is looking for a solid performer with a lot of battery life it's really a no brainer. The form factor works fine for me and the button isn't a problem. The box was smaller than I thought.

i have no wobble as well ive dropped mine pretty good on ciment 5 times and it still works like a champ and doesnt look bad. Its a beast!

Also as Phil Busardo states: The opinions expressed are his and his alone.

Plus as another poster stated, a LOT of hardware that he gets is in its 'beta' stage.

I take a lot of what he states with a grain of salt, because what works for him may not necessarily work for another.

It's a shame, I almost avoided the MVP2 due to the Pbusardo review as well. I'm glad I also saw his review on the MVP1.

I was looking for an "at home vape" with extended battery life and what impressed me the most with the ProVari is it's voltage regulation. The ProVari would hit what was set throughout the discharge cycle.

Pbusardo's review on the MVP 2 did not mention this fact, so I was going to skip it. I watched his MVP1 (which he gushed over) and saw that the voltage regulation on the MVP 1 was fantastic on par with the ProVari.

Phil mentioned that the MVP2 performed identically to the MVP1, and thats all I needed.

Nothing against the ProVari, but I was able to get the ONE thing that was compelling me to buy the Provari at 1/5th the cost.

I've dropped mine a few times as well and it's still working great. As far as the button being too hard to push, I just hold it in my hand so the mid knuckle on my thumb is pushing it. Very easy to use and very durable. You'll love it.

Maybe more issues have been fixed here in the MVP2 Energy series
