I use my Blackberry wall charger, no problems charging so far. Only complaint is the pin is either set low or the beauty ring is too high. Either way it takes me time to manipulate the iclear point to hit the firing pin.
MVP V2 Issues...maybe

I wonder, once the battery dies (end of life cycles,won't take a charge) on my MVP could I still use it as a PV hooked up to a wall wart? Since it can work that way now while charging, I'm hoping it would still work despite a battery that won't take a charge. As long as keeps the circuit closed it should, no?
Yes, when plugged in, it bypasses the battery, but you could also replace the battery. I'm waiting for a dna20 to mod mine with, and I'm going to change the battery for a safer option with higher power. Only challenge would be to find a box shaped battery that isn't poly-litho
The USB passthrough does NOT bypass the battery. You are still taking a hit off the battery. It simply charges why you are vaping.
The included battery is a LiPo "pouch" type battery. Looks to be 2 cells in parallel to be able to handle the higher amp draw.
Most LiPo's have a rating of about 300 FULL discharge cycles, which never occurs. A full discharge cycle for a LiPo is 3.0 volts, the MVP won't allow you to get below 3.3.
So this battery should easily last a year, even if you plug it in daily. By that time you can get away with buying another MVP. Just over 3 bucks a month for battery isn't bad....
Kind of ironic in that I have a few box shaped lipos as I fly RC aircraft. I guess the MVP has built in circuitry to avoid over charging, as lipos are kinda dangerous for the uninformed. I guess I might tinker with it once it's dead. But another post had a point, it is pretty cheap considering the lifespan of the unit. Vape on!
