As long as you have a solid device that is adjusted to your atomizer properly, the device has no impact on the vape (in theory). The MVP has a smoother chip and doesn't have as bad of an alternating current like the "buzz" people reportedly hear on vamo's. Nothing against Vamo's though.

The vape production is solely a function of your atomizer and the type of juice your using. Big vape? Go with 100% VG and a nice dripper, or hunt down some of the threads I've posted in regarding the Pyrex RSST. That is, if your ready for rebuildable atomizers. A Protank II usually does fine, more so than the Protank 3 in my opinion. The dual coil clearomizers don't exactly offer much of an advantage over a single coil. Again that's in my opinion. The Protank II atomizer head I rebuilt with cotton+microcoil far outperformed the Protank 3. Mesh is my favorite wick material though.

Like I said, if your ready for rebuildables, look in to it. Long term, it reduces cost and allows you to fully customize your vape. Backed by a solid device like an MVP2.0 or a Provari, and you will have a very enjoyable vaping experience.

My best vape to date is my Russian 91% built with stainless steel mesh wicks backed by the Provari. It's the cleanest crispest flavor I've ever gotten from any device, seconded only by my RSST builds, which produces triple the vapor my Russian build does.

This is all in my opinion of course
 
Just like George said. It's all gonna depend on your liquid, your topper, and some other variables. I just got a Kayfun clone the other day. threw a coil (1.8ohm) some cotton wick and POOF!!!! blowing out clouds like Ive never blown before! I've been vaping for more than a year and never blew clouds like that. I'm not a cloud chaser I say this to con firm that it's gonna be a few different things that make for a great vape. As far as the MVP2 goes....It's all about the vape! The MVP2 is a BEAST in a small package.


Again I am new to this so please bear with me, what is it called that I should add to it, is it a tank? what I screw on to the mvp2 to add the liquid to, to vape and the mouthpiece? Does it come with it? Is 101 vape a good site to buy it from? I'm just confused. I just want a simple setup right now.

It's ok that you are new. No one here is gonna rag on you, we all had to get our feet wet at one time or another and it's easy to be overwhelmed. :D If i may give some advice. Youtube is going to be your bestfriend if you want to learn. This is a review of the itaste mvp 2 by grimmgreen. Between grimmgreen and RiP Trippers I learned everything I needed to know.

Ronald if nyou get over to 101vape like now you could probably get it before it's out of stock again. It wiil come with a tank and charger. You can go from there. you can order other toppers for it also. But the first thing is to order it. I love 101 vape! It is a very simple set up Ronald.

Yes the mvp 2 starter kit comes w either 2 iclear16 clearomizer or 1 iclear 30. It has all you need but juice.

Anything you screw on a vaporizer is commonly called a topper. Some toppers are tanks.. then there are more specific names like atomizers clearomizer tanks cartomizers & more.

I add my vote to the tally the mvp 2 has going.. for what you describe it should be a great fit. Battery life is what you need.. no need to bring replacement batteries.. can get by w the mvp.. whatever topper (s) you like & juice. The rest is vape as needed & enjoy.. it can fit most toppers out there & is pretty easy to figure out. Im new too & love vaping & my mvp2.

Is there anything that I need to replace in the topper monthly?

Yes! Coils go bad from time to time. But you can buy replacement ones fairly cheaply & have some on backup just in case..

The coil is the part that has the wick attached to it. Its what fires the juice & produces vapor.

The reason you have to change coils is that juices can gunk that up coils.. & sometimes they just go bad.

Just make sure you clean your tank frequently. Even more so if you use mostly thick ejuices. The iClear 30 can be tanken completely apart and cleaned then leave it out to dry and its good. Usually i clean mine every 4-5 days or in between different juices (so that the left over taste wont linger on the wick and coils) :D

Kudos to finding this forum before you purchased your next step above the Blu. Allot of us, myself included wish they did. I went from Blu to
Some of the ego style kits you are referring too and was drought with aggravation and and frustation over the build quality, burnt coils, and gurgling tanks.
Then I found the MVP2 (40 dollars at 101vape.com). Best thing I've gotten, easy to use you can get between 2 and 3 days on a charge, adjust the voltage and wattage to get the most out your juice and even use it to charge you cellphone. It's literally hassle free plug and play. I would also suggest a. Aerotank to go with it even though it does come with a decent clearomizer. The aerotank lets you adjust airflow into the tank so you can adjust your draw. You can find those tanks for 20 bucks. So your looking at 60 dollars for a great setup that should last you a good long time!
The MVP2 also let's you use who or 510 tanks so no need for an adapter. Just keep in mind if you get an aero or any bottom cool tank to pick up some extra coils you can usually find a box of 5, I just got a 5 pack box for my aero on that bay of e thing for ten bucks. I get almost a week out of I coil so I'm set for the month.

I started with an Inferno, and I wouldn't recommend that to my worst enemy. I stripped out the threads 4-5 times in the first month I had it. The only upside to it, other than it got me on the path to being smoke-free, was that it helped me to get to know the people at my local B&M better, and I've formed some lasting friendships because of it. I would recommend a starter kit from maybe NHaler, or anything that came with an Aspire BDC tank. IMHO, they are so much better than any of the other tanks in the same price range. Probably the setup I recommend the most would be something like an MVP and an Aspire Nautilus, but if you're looking for something a little cheaper, most any ego style battery with decent mah, and an Aspire tank. Good Luck!
 
A lot of this stuff is going to be over whelming at first. I include this forum in that also. Just remember you have a ton of folks here to help you. Feel free to private message me with any questions you have. I may not have lots of answers but I will definitely be friendly and supportive.


I'm going to get the MVP 2, is there a lanyard that I could carry it around in?

There's no lanyard for it that I know of... Keep in mind it's a rectangular box with a 2500 mah battery and a decent amount of electronics in it; so, it's not light enough to wear around your neck. Don't take that the wrong way though it's not heavy not bulky either. Kind if feels just right - lol
But they do have a leather holster you can get for it. I'm looking at mine and I don't see a place to tie a lanyard to either. It's a nice piece though food sure!

I'm in a chair also t12/L1 complete spinal cord injury. I normally wear cargo pants or have a nap sack with me and it fits just fine in either my pocket or the side pouch if the bag so I can get to it. I also have a pouch on the front of my chair just under the cushion for caths, my wallet and meds but I'm going out tonight and don't wanna have a nap sack at the bar and my MVP is fitting fine in that pouch.

Actually now that I'm getting ready to head out - my chair has 2 pouches a small on that rides the bottom tube of the frame (wallet is normally there) and a larger one about the size of a fanny pack (got it from tilite) that goes across the front.
The MVP fits in the one that my wallet is normally in and my wallet is in the fanny pack size one with the caths and meds -and a few other personal items.
