    Not my favorite in terms of looks, but it's a solid little sucker.
    I have no problem with looks but of course, I love the color.:) Yes, it is a solid device. I expect it to last a long time. I do have one more of them.

    It has to be the diameter as ID of your coil. And pull forward, not sideways, if that makes sense.
    They all come out looking like this....

    The bottom one looks OK to me. The one on top, not so much. You may want to watch a few of Phil's videos--he's constantly over wrapping and then unwrapping his coils. Just fast forward through a few of them. Maybe this will help.

    The idea is to keep the coil snug on the rod and then very gently start unwrapping it toward yourself--but keep the leg perpendicular to the rod. Pliers are helpful.

    You don't by chance have a link to one of those videos, do you? I haven't had much luck finding any video for this online. I also need to find my pliers.

    I have two of those. They won't die. It's time to take them to the recycling bin. I'll never use them.

    I keep a couple fully-charged to use as power banks during hurricane season each year. They'll recharge my cell phone, my iSticks, etc.

    Nobody wants them. Trust me. They are sad uncomfortable bricks. But they used to be very popular when they first came out--years ago.

    I'll bet there are at least a few members in need on here, who'd use them if you were PIFing them. I have a supply of NIB MVP2 kits, MVP20W mods, and MVP30W mods. Those suckers are well-built, reliable, and have pretty high mAh capacities.
