you are completing a circuit between the laptop and MVP when it is attached to the puter, probably the wires in the cord or the plugin on the computer arent 100% correct. Does the tingling occur anytime you have contact with the laptop and MVP or just when you push the power button on the MVP while touching the laptop?

Yeah, I would check a few things on that one. For one, if you're not using a surge protector - well, one could help...maybe. The biggest thing is that you need to make sure the outlet is grounded - that's going to be your #1 reason for any shock-back. Does this happen with any other device plugged into the same outlet as your computer?
I don't know...but from my experience with electronics and electronic shock - be careful! I'd use a different outlet just to be safe.

Haven't tried with other devices. The other problem is, all of the receptacles in my office are on the same circuit. Not all may be grounded back to the panel. I've got my electrician on site today. I'll have him check it out and let y'all know.
Thanks!!
p.s. surge protector - yes

Happens anytime I'm touching both. Feels good on the arthritis.
reread your post... now I understand what you are talking about
you have the computer with a power pack plugged into the wall
and your MVP is on a wall charger too...
I thought you were using the SBD port on the laptop to plug into for the MVP
This is now something that could be an issue... you are getting cross flow from a voltage differential in the laptop ground and the MVP charger ( Ill bet the charger doesnt have a ground plug and the power pack for the laptop does).... if the tingle becomes more of a biting sensation, discontinue use of the MVP charger cord while on the laptop....
1.8ohms and yup. Receptacles are grounded. Here's what I plugged into...

Lap top, printer, charging MVP and cell phone all plugged into a protected Belkin.

Well, I agree with Bunnykiller on the fact that your laptop is grounded and your MVP charger isn't. But I'd also guess that you're drawing too much amperage through that Belkin device. I'm guessing the 2 USB ports are the MVP charger and cell phone? If so, I'd try plugging the MVP charger into a USB port on the laptop instead. This will actually cause it to ground through the laptop's connector.
Also, like Bunnykiller said...if it becomes more than a tingle, stop immediately. Heck, I wouldn't even use it with a tingle of electrical shock!

ahhh okay with all those wires in close proximity to each other you may be getting some induction currents in the wire going to the MVP... not a direct ground fault situation but enuf to notice the tingle

Wow! You may have found a cure for Arthritis. I will have to try it!
Okie dokie. All devices in the pic have a ground prong so let me try plugging the USB for the MVP into the computer.........Yup. That worked! I'll just do the other when my arthritis is acting up.
Thanks y'all!!
Happy Vaping!!

Hahaha, yeah. I actually have some electric-shock panels that are designed to relieve arthritis pain, and they usually do tingle a bit. But I'm glad plugging into the laptop worked for you! For future reference, you might also consider getting a charging block to use with it - you know, one of those 2-prong wall adapters with a USB port that most smartphones use.
