Smoktech Groove...

[MitchMcNasty]

I can not find them anywhere after the recall. And absolutely nothing does the job like my groove did.

I am looking to buy the black plastic model. If anyone knows of a vendor selling the "fixed" version that is spoken of in a thread or two; or, if anyone has one that wasn't sent back, I would be willing to purchase one, as long as its in good condition. I understand that this unit was recalled, I understand that I will be using this device at my own risk. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

These are catching on fire in people's hands, which is why they were recalled. Check out the MVP box mod. It's much better, I think vaperev.com is the cheapest place I've seen it.

I recommend the mvp but don't buy it from vaperev 60 dollars is quite a bit for one of these you can find them at other stores fpr 10-15 dolars less gl

Only the metal ones have a physical issue but smok recalled them both, saying the platics also have a battery protection issue.

I'm not saying the plastics are %100 safe. I think they're a lot safer than texting while driving for sake of argument. For SMOK to loose money and recall the plastics, there must be a reason, unless they simply didn't want someone to claim they thought their metal one was plastic so they kept it and it caused a problem and through some fine print of that = SMOK is liable.

I kept mine at my own risk. I charge it with the vent holes up and away from anything if I'm not by it. I'd put it in a battery safety charging bag if I were more worried.







I might send you a freebee if you can link an issue ever reported of the thousands and thousands of plastic groove that were sold.



The MVP isn't better. It might be built better, but I drop tested three plastic grooves before returning them - I eventually had to smash them down to get a crack- they're good enough. Groove has much higher mAhs than MVP and an ohm reader, so I wouldn't say MVP is even close. MVP can tell how much battery life is left better than the groove. MVP= three color stages while pressing fire, Groove= can only show volts the battery is operating at and lower than 3.7-ish hints it's low. But if you run the Groove dead and need to even know how much life is left, you'll probably need to vape 10 ml a day as long as you charge it daily.

MVP i say is second best. I prefer large internal batteries and a box design.
Fasttech has the deal for the MVP at $45 w/ free shipping.

Yeah. I tried the MVP, it was nothing compared to my groove. As I said, I LOVED my groove more than any other mod I've ever had. As for a link to issues for a freebie? No proof. But I'm dead serious about buying one at my own risk lol.

Since they're ticking time bombs, either private owners of them or vendors are legally obligated NOT to put them into the mail system for any reason. Also, just think if you were traveling... and that thing had a malfunction... at the airport...

Could probably say hello to the perma do not fly list

Is there anything close to this on the market- I have the MVP2 but it is not plastic- it is metal- metal and winter are not something I want to experience- is there a plastic VV grip type that has a digi screen and has a battery level read out? any suggestions?
