Welcome to the forum.

So before I recommend anything are you looking for a tube or you like the box mod that your MVP is?

What's your budget?

Do you own a battery charger and batteries or will you have to buy those too in your budget?

Thanks for the input so far guys! I'm looking for a tube, I'm going to buy the trustfire charger and batteries. Money is not really an issue. I'm trying to find one that's not sold in these local stores, Like the svd, cid, and vamo.

I can't recommend the trustfire charger as I have never had one. I can recommend the nitecore charger (for similar money) and I think it seems to be better regarded on the forums. You'll also have to get good quality IMR batteries too - I tend to stay away from anything with the word fire in it - but that is just me.

Innokin have just come out with the MVP2 - it has all the features yours has, plus it now has VW and a built-in ohm checker. They seem to be retailing around $70.

The SVD, Vamo, SID, Sigelei Zmax are all around the same price and have similar features - out of them all I personally would go with either the SVD or the Sigelei Zmax as they have better quality threads and finishes. Of course it depends which one you like the look of.

If money is no object - it's really hard to look beyond a provari. They aren't VW but they have everything else you are looking for, plus an excellent 1 year warranty (that can be upgraded to 2 years for like $25) Head over to provape.com

If you are looking for premium ($200+), you can always get a DNA20 mod, very pricey, very exclusive and they come in a range of different designs.

Since money is not really an issue, you can't do better than a Provari. Not just because of the superior build, durability, dependability, and consistancy, but because it is a long term investment. Provape (who makes the Provari) gives you a 1 year warranty. (Option for another year for $25 if that's your thing.) But even after the warranty is expired, Provape will continue to service a Provari in the rare chance that it would need it for very reasonable fees.

You will not get that from ANY other vendor or device. This is peace of mind that the extra money that you spend on a Provari is worth it. Unless you don't mind spending $50 - $100 every time a Chinese mod stops working or breaks. Break one or it stops working, it's a disposable.

If you don't mind a vanilla Provari (silver with red LED display), it's $160. More for colors.

You can save by ordering a discontinued version 2.0 Provari for as low as $140 (same full warranty) or a slightly blemished version 2.5 (full warranty) for $145.

As stated above, a Nitecore Charger. Get a 4 place one, as this mod you are looking for won't be your last. I would use either Efest or AW IMR batteries. I had Trustfire, both charger and batteries, and they did not hold charge as well as the Efest or AWs.

I second the Sigelei Zmax V3 Flattop. I have both this and the Provari. I actually like the Zmax more for a couple of reasons.

1) Has a more airy draw, because the air slots in the 510 connection are larger.
2) It has a 510 and Ego connection. Allows you some different options for toppers.
3) It is Variable Voltage and Variable Wattage.

The Porvari is better built, better warranty, and built in the USA, but I use my Zmax more.

very interesting. seems they kept the same design and features and just added the 2. good thinking on there part, easy upgrade and profitable. a lot of itaste owners will most likely buy this seeing that it in fact has the resistance meter... my only concern is how accurate is it. the vw is just another extra... dont need it myself but it broadens their audience.
