In addition to a sticky, I think there needs to be an innokin forum like the Provape one. Then we can sticky all the tips. In this APV/VV subforum, there are threads for MVP. VV3, SVD, and who knows what else. Plus look at all the new stuff they come up with.

I did blog it so if some one is looking for it, you can look under my user name. The reason I made the guide in the first place was due to all the folks who were having problems. I encourage every one to write innokin and bug them about this problem. I just got a new VV this week and the ego/510 is the same as it always has been :(

As far as an innokin forum, Innokin has to step up and become a supporting member in order to have it's own section.

And a mighty fine job you did, Cap. :) I did write Innokin (about the whole 'we won't talk about that issue' thing) and have never heard back. I'm not sure they terribly responsive. As far as an Innokin sub-forum goes, of that I know little, other than I believe it's fairly full with vendors here on ECF at this point in time, and isn't quite so simple to just create a new one. But BLOGS are great as an interim fix! So thank you.

Love the look of the zmax v3...wish I could afford one

I was going to say, they're not that expensive... but Desert Vapes, who had them for $39.95, is out of stock on the flat top, which I think is better looking than the round-top, but they do have the round-top in stock for $39.95. Other than the several buttons on the SVD, the Sig round-top is a dead ringer for the SVD.

However, the V5 flat-top is IN stock, and only $7 more, at $46.95 , and looks just like the v3 flat top; I think it just has an additional menu choice, for something or other. Anyway I looked at the SVD for a while, because I like the vv3 so much, but it has a lot of button problems in general, and it's more costly than the Sigelei anyway.

The Sigelei thread is very good, extremely helpful and informative; I basically lived there for 2-3 wks, trying to learn about the Sigelei, and other topics having to do with the removable batteries.

Is it safe to fire a 1 ohm dual coil on this device? I just got a Magma RDA today and I made a dual coil and I used my VV3 to check the resistance and it was 1.0 and then I fired it to smush the coils together better. Not sure if I'm pushing its limits, I certainly don't want to damage my device or have anything dangerous happen.

It will fire, but it really limits what wattage you can actually fire at. You won't really be able to fire under 10.5 watts and will only for at a max wattage of 11 as that's ask the chip can handle. You can set it lower, but it won't actually do it due to the minimums of voltage the device must possess.

Ideal resistance for control on this device is 1.5+ (1.8-2.4 ohms really is the best range for control depending on your vaping preferences on this particular device).

I've been looking at getting the iTaste VV V3 because it looks like a nice, slim VV/VW battery. I'm currently using an MVP 2.0 at home and when I'm not super active and a Vision Spinner 900mAh when I'm on the go both with either a Kanger Evod, Evod Glass and mini Kanger Protank 2. The VV V3 looks pretty impressive feature-wise, but realistically am I going to notice a whole lot of difference betweeen it and my spinner battery?

Depends.

I have a 1300 ego twist, MVP, VV3 (actually between me and the wife 2, 3 and 3). I perceive that the MVP gives the best, then the VV3 and the twist. But not so much that I pick one over the other. I keep the twist around 3.7-3.8 volts, the other two on 7 watts, for toppers with 1.8-2.2 coils. For my genesis tanks and dripper, 4.0 volts.

The VV3 battery is not going to give you the vape time of the 900 but I plug mine into the lighter outlet while driving or charger at my desk.

The sigelei 20w looks pretty nice also, it even says it is suitable for sub ohming

I have a Sigelei 20 watt. 0.6 ohm it will fire. 0.5 ohm you get a "Low Resistance" message. Works great. That said, you may have a wattage set, but if it is lower than the minimum of the voltage that can be used, it will automatically raise the wattage when you fire (you'll see your screen change to reflect this until the fire button is released)

I'm a very big fan. The Taifun GT fits on it perfectly. (Also great for my gf, heavy enough to use as a light weight - great for toning her arms, rofl).

The VV3 battery is not going to give you the vape time of the 900 but I plug mine into the lighter outlet while driving or charger at my desk.

See, I use coils between 2.0 and 2.5 and I use my Spinner at around 4 or 4.2 at the highest and I use the same settings on my MVP 2.0. I don't drive my car very often in the spring and summer and I do a lot of skateboarding in the spring/summer so I've been using my Vision spinner on a lanyard or in a pocket in my shirt or pants because it takes up less room than my MVP 2. My spinner lasts me all day at work with no issues and my MVP is ready and waiting when I get home. So, what you're saying is I should just stick with my current arrangement?

vv v3 improvements over 900 mah spinner:

- variable wattage (don't have to change voltage for different resistance atomizers)
- micro USB charging (no need for seperate charger)
- micro USB passthrough (can vape while charging)
- three color battery level shown when pressing button (lets you know when its getting near time to charge, doesn't just die unexpectedly)
- lcd battery volt and selected volt or watt readout easier to see than twist markings even in daylight (easier to check or adjust settings)
- ohm meter (if you want to figure levels yourself, or even just check your topper is connected ok)
- puff counter (can track usage or predict how much vaping left on battery)

I still have and use spinners as well, but usually just at home on less frequently used toppers. If I'm out and about I want a vv v3 with me for all the reasons above.

The MVP and Vv3 both have the higher frequency chipset, suppose to make for a smoother hit. Another reason to get it over the spinner/twist style. One of my favorite features is the usb charging, it's more convenient and almost everyone has one of these chargers around in case your battery gets low. Also I've dropped my VV3 a ton of times and other than a few dings, it still works perfectly.

Recently had My SVD *running a dual coil protank mini 3* start reading 3.8u and no longer doing anything else.

New battery? 3.8U.

Old battery? 3.8U.

Stick of celery?

3.8U.

Not sure what the hell is going on. No impacts, nothing changed, just vaping a way and suddenly it refuses to do anything but display 3.8U (FOREVER.) as in that is ALLLLLL it does. As soon as i insert ANY battery, it shows 3.8u and the display just never shuts off.

Has anyone seen anything like this or am i just screwed?

I'm kinda poor and just having a device die for no reason when i had only 2, really pisses me off.

Actually, I've never gotten a rattle snake effect from an ego. I think it only does that if the device has a chip set.

If I was out skating I would stick with the VV ego. You wont see a big improvement in the vape quality so you might as well use up the cheaper to replace device when they are in a position of peril. I have a couple of 450 ego's that are my fishing/four wheeling etc. rigs. I just lost a VV out Mt. Biking last week and I almost cried.

With that said, to me, the biggest improvement to me is the fact that it is square. The dang thing doesn't roll away from me when I set it down! An ohm checker is nice to have as well. Kind of handy to see where you battery voltage is at as well.

Hi, GravityGroove. You may want to ask your question here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...apv-discussion/520450-thread-innokin-svd.html.

I thought this thread was for the vv3? And asking in the SVD thread is probably a better idea. I spent some time there when I was looking at the SVD, and it has more problems than you can shake a stick at, so I decided to give it a miss, but someone in there has probably seen similar problems, the SVD has so many.
