MVP2 or Mod?

[maria1232]

Okay, so I'm still a little bit new to all of this. So far I just have one device (itaste vv3) which I love, but I think it's time for me to upgrade to something with a little bit better battery etc... so I have heard really positive things about the MVP, but other people seem to prefer higher end mods like the Provari etc... Would I be making a mistake if I get an MVP versus a mod?

I bought a mvp v2 not to long ago. Its a great apv but I personally am looking for more. As soon as I can get one I will be getting a hana v3 or mamu dna30 mod.

Hello, Maria, and welcome! I started wa-a-a-ay back last Aug. on the first version of the MVP (blue) and really, really liked it. Six days later went to my first vape meet and won the grand prize of a ProVari (standard satin silver). Love using both.

Two mos. later was my birthday, and hubby gave me another ProVari (mini bronze) and a version 2 of the MVP (black) per my request. Now I have backups for my backups.

So far, I've only counted that first blue MVP in my budget as the rest were gifts, and our 37th wedding anniversary is later this month. Bet you can make a pretty good guess at what I want for my gift! I don't need but want a polished mini ProVari.....It IS cheaper than a good piece of gold jewelry and IS a whole lot more useful! Why I'm being practical !!!

My experience has been only with the two devices which have never given me a problem. There are pros and cons about each which are endlessly hashed out on this forum. Mainly that the ProVari is too expensive and the MVP must be replaced every year. You cannot go wrong buying either one. It just depends on your budget and what you are comfortable with.

I bought the first MVP because I wasn't intending on quitting the smokes but use this vaping thing as a temporary measure during a 10 day visit to non smoking relatives. After 53 yrs at 2 PAD figured I'd be buried with my cig pouch in my hand. After several days of vaping without the urge to smoke, I'm dancing in the kitchen in front of my boiling tea pot! Holy cow! It works! I do believe I would have asked for the ProVari for my birthday present had I not won the first one because I needed one that took batteries instead of replacing the whole thing, AND you never go wrong relying on the "gold standard."

No. The MVP is just like your vv3--only better and comes with a 2600 mAh battery. If you love the vv3, it's a no brainer, IMHO.

You can get a MVP for $40 of less if you look around--101 Vapes is a good place to start.

I have the MVP 2 and love it as well. Battery life is awesome and the price is really good considering everything it does.

 

[twgbonehead]

The MVP is great. I really love mine. If you liked the VV V3, you'll love the MVP.

 

[zanedog]

If you can afford it, go ProVari.

 

[Cool-breeze]

I agree with the above statements in that the MVP is just a bigger bat version of the vv v3. I own an MVP and love it. I guess the question is what do you want from your purchase? Bigger bat and on a budget? MVP for sure. You want a new experience and new toy to play and learn on? Go for a mod. As to which mod that should be I'm not going there. I will say to also consider if your new device is for home or on the go. Many mods can be troublesome in travel/ work.

Hi

It depends on what you are looking for. Essentially the MVP2 is just a VV 3 with a bigger battery and a couple other "silly" features - like the capability to recharge your phone. If you aren't happy with the run time of the VV 3 then getting an MVP would make sense, as most users can get two days run time before it needs a recharge.

If you want a long warranty, durability, and a rock steady vape experience from fully charged battery to the last draw before the device shuts down due to low battery, then those would be a reasons to consider a Provari.

With either the MVP or a Provari you are still in the realm of electronic APV's which both have limitations as to how far you can push things. If your vape experience is lacking and you are also considering rebuildable attys, that cloud thing, and want to vape below 1.3 ohms then neither the MVP or Provari will fit your needs well. At that point you would be researching - a lot - into mechanical mods, how they function, and what you need to know about batteries, amp limits and ohm's law to do that right and do it safely. Mechanical PV's, battery selection, and building safe coils is not the plug and play experience that a Provari or MVP gives you.

I just got my MVP 2.0 yesterday and I love it!!!

I've been looking at the same dilemma recently and I think, for me, it comes down to the following.

MVP and other inbuilt battery devices will eventually stop holding a charge and you have to throw the circuitry away with them (unless you're going to open them up yourself)
Provari, VTR and other such Mods that are circuit boards with a removable battery won't have that problem.

MVP etc. needs to be near a power point to use and charge simutaneously.
Provari, VTR etc. doesn't, because the battery can charge while the device is elsewhere, say, being vaped. Also means you can vape and charge in the car at the same time without a cable tying your hand to something and getting tangled.
(leaving charging batteries or devices unattended is not recommended but it's worth it to not have to turn the charge off to step out of the room for 10 mintues for a vape, if you don't vape indoors)

MVP etc has longer battery life so can go for longer between charges
Provari, VTR etc. Can carry spare batteries so can go for extended periods without being near a charge point.

I often spend 3-5 days nowhere near power so external batteries are a MUST if I'm going to avoid needing the emergency lozenges/patches/analogs. I also hate to throw things away unnecessarily so my upgrade will be to a VTR/Provari type. If the VV3 works well in your life then the MVP will also suit you.

 

[Peepaw]

I say go for the MVP.
Nothing else to buy. The charge last me for days, I'm a lite vaper.
You can buy about five MVP's for the price of a Provari, a charger, and batteries.
All sorts of colors and designs.
For 40 bucks you can't beat it.

Dont forget about the vamo versions 1 through 5(all have the same capabilities, just design differences)

It's not as good looking or tidy as the MVP2, but it's cheaper and better terms of capabilities. Has a higher amp cut off (5 amps) which would allow you to feed more power into your coils if you wanted to go a little lower in resistance. The MVP2 only has amp limit of 3.

You can also have the freedom of using whichever 18650 battery you want. For example, you can fit a 3400 mah battery in there (safely due to circuit protection) and have a spare battery ready encase it runs out. Though the MVP2 has a 2600 mah battery with pass-through charge, which is probably all you need.

Just throwing in another option encase you want something a little more for less, depending on what you value. I'm currently using an MVP2 and I love it! It's great for people who just want to simply vape :]

 

[Drew K]

By the way, the MVP2 is identical to the itaste vv v3 except for design and battery life. So if you want something different, keep your eyes open :] good luck!

 

[Bottlefed1]

Wait and get a dna30

Not that it's worth a ton but from my experience (all of 3 days so far) I love the MVP V2. Not the most customizable mod around but good enough for me (and most it seems.) The battery life is crazy, I've charged my phone from it, and in the 3 days it hasn't gone to yellow once (half battery drained) and has been on the charger for maybe an hour in that amount of time (and that just because i wasn't going to be using it for a bit, it didn't even need a charge at the time,) I've vaped about 3 ml's a day if i had to guess (maybe a bit more, and charged my phone a bit to test that out.) So yeah if you like you VV then I'd definitely recommend the MVP V2, if you like but don't love the VV (due to anything other than battery life,) then I'd say to look for something else though. But again I'm not nearly informed as a lot of others here just wanted to let you know that I like it.

I like my MVP alot. I like the fact you can get atleast 2 days off the battery without having to charge it. If you can afford the ProVari go with it, if not you won't be dissapointed with a MVP. And welcome Maria.

 

[rastapete69]

I started on a MVP2 and have since moved on to a ProVari and mech mods.

I love the ease of the MVP and not swapping batteries along with its toughness.

I would like to see them change the firing button location, but besides that, it is a great mod.

All in all, if I could press rewind in my life, I would have gotten the ProVari right away and not listened to the guy in the store that talked me out of it.

You WILL want to upgrade at some point, so it's a good idea to only cry once and get the ProVari.

Keep your eyes on the blemish ones and you will escape with only a $140 dent in your pocketbook

I just ordered an MVP 2 today to upgrade my eGo twist set up. The reviews are all great, and it should be the perfect step up. I am not sure if I can mention retailers of deals here, but I ordered mine through Massdrop that does bulk sales. They take orders, dropping the price until the lowest is hit, than order. It'll take 2-3 weeks to get to me, but it was $36 bucks so I'm happy.

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

I love my MVP 2's. I also love my hubby's VV v3's. They are essentially the same thing, only the MVP is a larger battery. Really, it depends on what kind of toppers you see yourself using in the future. I've only gone so far as cartotanks, and for that, the MVP is great. If you're looking to get into rebuilding however, you may want a mod that can take a resistance lower then the MVP can take.
