I have change the tank 3 times still doin it. i just want something new. when i say box mod im referring to a mod i guess. the ones that are box shaped?? but i guess u have to drop fluid in ever 5-7 hits? so someone told me to avoid that to look into a "eleaf iStick". its kind of a hybrid i guess? i dont want a pen but i dont want something i gotta drop in every 5-7 puffs. kinda hard to do while your driving. i also have a major shaking issue so id just spill it all the time. any suggestions? and does the eleaf iStick sound like what im lookin for?

If you want a box mod, I think the iStick and the MVPv2 are the most recommended beginner types right now. You'll want a nice tank with either of those. I've not had much experience, but lots of folks are recommending the Nautilus Mini, Kanger Aerotank (I chose the V2 Aerotank).

The MVPv2's come with a tank usually, most with iclear 30's that I've seen. Not the best tank, but I think people get good use out of them.

Do some searching on innokin itaste MVP v2. Around 40 dollars if you look enough. I think that's the way to go, others may have better suggestions.

im soooo lost and confused. i just want something that more reliable than a pen, that i dont have to drop in every 5-7 puffs, and gives good deep flavorable hits....

I too recommend the MVP v2 (a small box mod)

1. Huge (2600 mah) battery
2. Variable Voltage - Voltage can be adjusted from 3.3 ~ 5.0 in 0.1 volt increments
3. Variable Wattage - Wattage can be adjusted from 6.0 ~ 11.0 in 0.5 watt increments
4. Ohms Meter - Reads the resistance of your atomizer
5. Pass through ability
6. $40 shipped at many online stores

Pair it with a mini Naulitus with the new BVC's (bottom vertical coils) or a Kanger Aerotank and you will have a great vape.

ok do the nautilus attatches to the mouth piece so i dont have to drip every 5-7 hits? whats a BVC? can i use the same tank i have on my vape pen on it? and whats p[... through ability?
The Nautilus is a tank (it holds the eliquid) and it attaches to the battery. It comes with a drip tip (mouthpiece). You do not drip with this tank. BVC is one type of coil that is used in the mini Nautilus. It's very popular.

If your current tank is either ego threaded or 510 threaded, it can be used on the MVP. Pass through ability allows you to charge it while you are vaping.

oh and when u say reads resistance of atomizer is the atomizer the heating unit? so it reads when its about to go bad? or am i way off?
It reads the resistance of the coil so you know what the resistance is. Many people use multiple tanks (each one holding a different flavor) and sometimes the coil in each tank is different. Many vapers like to know the resistance of their coil (especially if they run in voltage mode).

Most kits (including the MVP kits you have listed above) come with "plastic tanks". Many eliquids (citrus and hot cinnamon to name a few) cannot be used in these tanks. That is why most vapers also chose to purchase "glass tanks" such as the Nautillus and Aerotanks. Plastic tanks can still be used, but not with "tank cracking" juice.

Here is a great resource regarding "tank cracking" eliquid by ECF member Baditude: Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

Make sure to open all his links! Two of those links are:

* A blog post by ECF member The Ocelot titled "EEEKKK it's Melting".
* A "HUGE" list of juice and flavorings that may cause problems as far as cracking, fogging, or etching polycarbonate tanks (compiled by ECF member my4jewels).

You should replace the tank that comes with your MVP with something better like a nautilus or aerotank once you have enough money. Or you can get something smaller/cheaper, like an aspire k1 or protank mini 3 (you can search for either of those and find some info on them) both of which are usually well under 20$ and are fine tanks.

I recently ordered this Eleaf Istick and the Aspire Nautilus Mini. I already have the bigger Nautilus and they are very good tanks. The istick is much smaller and newer than the MVP 2, which is why I bought it. But with the MVP 2 you can charge your cell phone off it which is cool. Check out the youtube videos for both. I think they are both good affordable choices. Good luck.

im leanin toward the MVP it has VERY good reviews. i have many glass tanks for my pen. they are aspire i think, and one may be Kanger if i remember right. the guy i at local shop gave me mant to try as pen i bought leaked and spit liquid in my mouth and just doesnt work worth a crap....will those work on this? also are the heating units the same on mods as they are on pens? if so they go bad quick like a pen? or do they use better nes, or more than 1 or something?

Most of the pen tanks are ego threaded. Both the Istick and MVP2 are 510 but usually come with an ego adapter so you can use the smaller pen style tanks if you want. The Nautilus uses either BVC or BDC. Bottom vertical coils or Bottom dual coils. Most people like the BVC. Usually last between 2 to 3 weeks if broken in(starting at lower volts/watts) and primed. Good luck.
