Question about the first charge on an MVP2

[ncolwell]

I received my MVP 2 yesterday in the mail (yay!) I love it! It came to me charged, and I was able to start vaping on it right away. I haven't put it on the charger yet though. I was wondering if I should let the charge run down a bit (or all the way) before I put it on the charger? Anything else I should know about charging it?

Thanks!

When I got my mvp v2 I vaped on mine for a couple days until the fire button light went yellow. I put in on the charger and it took a fairly long time to fully charge but that's expected with the size of the battery. I wouldn't let it completely drain seeing how you just got it and the battery is new.

I did mine whenever I felt like it and have not had any issues thus far. I usually popped it on charge when the battery hit lowest 3.5v as it cuts out and stops working at 3.3v I believe.

I'm pretty sure that MVP batteries can be charged at any time. They don't have "memory" like older style batteries do.

In fact, you can plug in, charge and vape on the MVP2 at the same time. I do it all the time. I haven't noticed any reduction in battery life.

I love my MVP2 also! I charge mine when the light turns yellow. The only issue I've had with mine is I've had to pull the center pin so it will make contact with certain tanks. I never had this issue until I put a kayfun lite + clone on it. The positive pin on the clone is very long and it pushed the center pin down too far and caused it short against the housing. Now I put a small plastic washer on the KFL+ before scewing it on.

I charge my MVP before I go to bed and take it off once the green light turns off.

The MVP is a beast and can take pretty much anything. Charge it whenever you like or it is convenient for you.

Thanks, everyone. I decided to go ahead and charge it now, while I'm working on my computer. The green light was still on when I fired it, but I thought I'd like to give it a full charge, anyway. I absolutely LOVE this thing!

Yeah, the B&M that sold me my MVP said "treat it like a cell phone and let it drain all the way" BUT the more professional B&M I now frequent said the technology in that battery doesn't require a full drain, and to charge it whenever you want.

I let it get down to yellow light and charge it (I'm a little weird about the yellow light LOL). Had it for about a month and no issues with battery whatsoever.

Amazingly enough, about a half an hour ago, it was finished charging! It must have had a great charge on it when I got it. Is there a way to check the display to see how much battery it has left? I'm way impressed with this thing.

It is my understanding you hold down the P and U buttons at the same time for a few seconds and after it gives you an ohm reading it will tell you the battery charge level.

 

[Jscheiben]

Hold down both buttons(u/p) under the display for a couple seconds, first reading will be coil ohm, second reading will be battery charge. Will say something like U3.8

Glad you got an MVP! Isn't it the greatest thing? I liked mine so much that I got another one for a back up pretty quickly. I've found that I can get between 700 and 800 puffs on the puff counter before I need to charge, so that's what I look at to decide to put mine on the charger. It's really convenient to have two of them. I feel very secure.

I'm retired and if I'm going to be at home, I will let the puff count go higher before I charge. If I'm heading out in the car, I usually put it on the charger at about 700 puffs, and take the fresh one with me, because I don't want to run dry while I'm out and about.

Press the P and U buttons at the same time. The first number is the resistance of your coil (it likes like an A to me, but supposed to be an R for resistance). The second number it shows is the voltage strength of the battery (looks like a U, but supposed to be a V). The voltage strength is the charge in your MVP2 battery, basically. 4.2 is fully charged, around 3.5 it will start to go yellow.
