If it is, I wouldn't know the difference. You have a completely valid point. But, it looks the same as the one in the picture. We got 2 MVP's yesterday, one for me, one for the hub. Both rings are the same. I checked to be sure the serial numbers were valid on the innokin website, so the equipment is ok.

I have to go to bed, but I will take pictures of the ego tank that fits with the ring and the new tank which doesn't fit. I know you think I'm nuts, but I swear they're the same size and I know how the ring goes on the MVP, there are only threads on one end. I'll be back tomorrow, my head hurts :)

You aren't nuts and I believe you. I just had to make sure because when I looked at a picture of a smoketech tank like you bought, it looks skinnier than my aspires that do fit. However, I am only looking at pictures. You have it in your hands. Pics of everything tomorrow just for giggles, but I don't think the problem has anything to do with your ring or the absence of. I think it MAY be just the transition between two types of tanks and the different airflow and mechanics. As you said, you may just be ODing on VG vapor. :D

IIRC it is a 2.6 ohm coil....probably 2.4 but reads at 2.6...but again IIRC

OK, so at 2.6 ohms... E/I = 2.6, and P = 6.5... That will be about 4.1 volts, 1.6 amps, to be 6.5 watts. I believe that is a little more voltage than an eGo under load. Maybe try between 3.5 and 4 volts to see if the two hit the same at that point.

Hoosier carries 100% PG and my suspicion tells me the OP is a cloud chaser:D so if I am correct he/she may not like it. He/she is also a menthol/mint vaper....RY4 is not going to be even close to mint.....unless OFC RY4 comes in menthol:laugh:

Sure you are not bucking for a free 50ml bottle of RY4 in the event it is not liked:lol: ....J/K Dave....but if this is THE plan it is a good one indeed:D

You may have hit the jackpot for the cause of the wheezing.

Ok, here's the picture. Thanks so much for all the time you've spent on this issue with me. I do believe it's just OD'ing and I'm not used to equipment that's so efficient, I'm getting too much. I slowed down on it this morning, and no wheezing, so I think we're on the right track. But the ring still doesn't fit.

I have the ego tank sitting inside my husband's ring, which fits just right. My ring is sitting on top of the MVP tank so you can see the tank is just too big for the ring. Also, the connection on the MVP tank is identical to the connection on the ego tank. In other words, it doesn't have a screw sticking out of the bottom like the iClear 30.

I'm pretty sure I'm OD'ing on the much more effective MVP vs. ego. I slowed down on vaping this morning and no wheezing. I tend to get obsessive with new toys. :) Thanks so much.

Thanks for your reply. I'm at 3.4 and no wheezing. I also cut back on my puff this morning and no wheezing. But the ohms on this tank are 1.9 per the MVP. Not sure if this is relevant to your post, as I'm completely confused. I think I've got a bit too much air flow vs. the ego and I'm OD'ing. The ego was a hard puff compared to the MVP.

I can't tell you how much this thread has helped me, and I believe we've solved the wheezing. If I have other issues, which is a given :), I'll post directly in the MVP thread. I really like the MVP, but it's quite a bit out of my league without some help. I just got tired of the ego's inadequate battery life, and the MVP reviews were awesome. I also got a few recommendations on the type of tank to buy, so I'm really happy now. I couldn't have done it without you. My local shop leaves a lot to be desired and I'm not going back there unless it's an emergency. Have a wonderful Monday.

If you don't mind my saying, it seems to me like you've got a few variables floating around. Well, 3.4v could be quite comparable to the eGo when using vv. Battery voltages drop a little when under load (discharging into a load). But the MVP has circuitry to maintain 3.4v in any event. Incidentally, with 3.4v, 1.9ohm... Would be roughly 6 watts. If you set it at 6P, theoretically it should vape the same (as 3.4v with that 1.9 ohm load). Cheers!

IMO, vaping is inherently an irritant, especially if you use it as a pacifier as some of us do. Cutting back on vapor volume and frequency of use might be good for anyone who sense heaviness or irritation.

We use our ecigs to satisfy our nicotine addiction. Most of us aren't nearly as addicted as when we smoked, but still we would find it unsatisfactory to quit cold turkey. With ultra light cigarettes we smoked more as we reduced tar and nicotine. Dropping the nic level in our vape makes us hit it harder and more often until we get used to the new level. At 24mg I didn't notice irritation. When I dropped to 8mg I vaped like a fiend for a while.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I think there is a Learning Curve that goes along with getting Any New piece of Hardware. And it sometimes just takes some Fiddling Around to find what works the Best for a given e-Liquid.

Unfortunately for people that have Recently Quit Cigarettes, this is done while in the Middle of coming down off Cigarettes. Which makes Doing anything Stressful.

That, and if you don't have a Good B&M nearby, you have to do Everything Via Text and Pictures on an Internet Forum. Which is Hard Many Times in the Best of Situations.

Let us know how thing go. And if you run into Anything else.

Yep it is known as instant gratification...Quit cigs and want the equipment to perform EXACTLY as the analog, never will so the stress sets in, not to mention frustration and confusion and a lowered bank balance.

+1....After 3 years off analogs I am still trying to get an oxygen tank to replace my mod so I can just breath in the vapor. " Oh excuse me Sir, but do you have COPD and use the tank to help you breath better?"...."Nope just vaporizing some Maraschino Cherry and Vanilla mix!" :lol:

Well, for me it was instant quit after 54 years of 3 PaD. It's a matter of getting lucky enuff to hit the right juice. The one that tastes better than analogs. It's all about great taste. NOT about it tastes ok so I can suffer til I get used to it. Also, FWIW, I never use tobacco flavors anymore.

I think in Some Ways, I have it Different than people who are Getting into e-Cigarettes Today.

Because when I started, late 2009, Every single this you Bought needed to be Mod-ed in some way to make it Work Better. Or in some Cases, just plain work Period.

By it switch the filler in a Cart with Blue Foam. Or Opening the Center Hole of a Carto. Or Cutting Bigger Slots in a Clearo Seal to improve Wicking. Everything Needed to be Tweaked. It was just a Given.

But today, people Kinda Expect things to work Right out of the Box. Which They Rightly Should. But when they Don't, people get Very Frustrated.
