Isn't it a shame? Why couldn't the button on the MVP2 be the same as the fire button on the VV3.0?
At least it doesn't rattle!
I never shook mine, so I never knew about the rattle? Are you sure it wasn't a feature to keep babies quiet?
How in the world are you vaping at 8 ohms?
I'm sure he meant 8 watts.

Uhhh... I've got four 2-ohm atty's wired in series? Arrrgh... typo, should have been 8 *watts*. It's corrected, thanks for the catch.

I'll take a rattle over an uncomfortable fire button any day -- or at least the muted rattle from my V3's fire button, which isn't that bad. That, plus the fact that the square edges of the MVP are really uncomfortable in my hand, are the reasons I haven't gotten an MVP. Otherwise I'd have had one ages ago.
Maybe the iStick will let Innokin realize that an MVP Lite could be a runaway best-seller: to wit, a small, comfortable version of the MVP, with nice rounded corners and an easy to use fire button, while still having the buck circuitry and well-filtered output of the full-size MVP. At least that's what I'd be pushing them to do if I worked for them.

I'd be interested in that link, KGie, if you can dig it up
And I'm sure you meant watts those places you put ohms, yes?
Sorry to hear of the loss to your stable - but better safe than sorry, eh?
Yep, I meant watts. It's been corrected.
And yes, you're quite right, I'd rather lose a bat than start a fire. Quite the tradeoff. lol
Actually it turns out the review I was thinking of was a post to the Variable Voltage APV Discussion / Eleaf Istick forum on ECF, which is here:

I also I blogged it. The chart and post blogged nicely, but the blog mechanism seems to have lost the highlighting to a Google Docs spreadsheet link in the prose of the post, making it impossible to tell it's a link. If you don't jump to the original post, here's the link to the Google Spreadsheet:

Thank you guys. I appreciate your ideas and opinions.
pera, my little charmer.... yes, the Stick does output at a higher than listed setting. If and when we have the graphs and charts, I'm sure that will be very clear, but in the time being, I rely on my taste buds. I've always adjusted to taste with very little regard for numbers and displays, other than.... welp, they're cute.
It was mentioned in another thread that the hard hitting-ness of the Stick is quite like the powerful hit on the old Ovales. I happen to love that very feature about the Ovale and I've come to appreciate it with the Stick as well. I've got the Stick set at 7w and the V3 set at 9w. Yup... it's about the same hit.
What is your usual power setting, amoret? I've tried the Stick on several, from the lowest to my current setting. I suppose it will be a concern to those who like a mild, cool, low low low vape. I'm quite pleased with this little guy!
Kevin, I do believe the chart you linked was provided by our own peraspera!
Will I give up my V3s? Uh UH! I love them, too!

My main concern is about recommending the iStick to beginners. They are the ones most likely to be using clearos that probably have inadequate wicking capabilities for keeping up with the iStick's minimum actual power.
I hope we see something from Innokin of comparable size and capabilities to the iStick that has accurate, flat-signal power. That would work perfectly for any sort of clearo and give beginners enough power for room to grow into building Kayfun type devices. Many people will even be satisfied with the power for RDAs.
Agreed. I'm not sure how much of a concern it is, really, other than the possible scenario of shops pushing them. Most beginners want it "to look, feel, and taste like a cig" more often than not. I still think a Twist with an easy clearo is a great beginner setup.
Do you remember the Vamo (I'm not sure which iteration I had)? There was a way to go from "mean to avg" by some button presses. I actually played around with the Stick looking for that combo, but sadly, my Houdini skills failed me...... or it doesn't exist.

And I'm recalling correctly, the display identifies that change, correct, c?
My KSD V5 Vamo does show the mode you wind up in after the long left button hold.
David Veep, I did try a long left button hold........ the wattage on the Stick went wild and increased it's numerical value in a nano second!
But no indication of changing from avg to mean. I'm guessing this chip ...... is "chipped".

Uh, I was typing about a Vamo, not an Istick....
It doesn't change modes.....it's just powerful
Fine. I knew that.
It was worth a try, no?
