Why Do People Buy Cheap Junk???

What's your budget? For $40 from a stateside vendor:

Innokin MVP 2

Currently out of stock, but it seems they've been getting them in regularly. Sign up for an in-stock notification and jump on it if you want.

How is the battery longevity?
The price is ok but I don't think that one will fit into my charger. Although it may come with one itself I like to keep it simple. Im leaning towards a mech mod at this point.

The MVP is a self contained unit, (think i-phone). The battery and charging circuitry are internal. All you need is a micro USB cable and USB wall wart (or a micro USB phone charger) and you can charge the unit up. It has a 2600 mAh battery which equates to at least 2 days for most of us. And the battery is rated like most LiPo's for about 300 FULL discharge/charge cycles, although you will rarely ever really discharge it to a full discharge. So figure it should last at least 1 to 1.5 years before you start seeing a noticeable impact on capacity.

I just made the mistake of buying a cheap carto-tank from an online vendor. The cap and tip were anodized steel and it was glass. That's about all I can say. The o-rings had fused to the glass. I put the bottom cap in a bench vice and grabbed the top cap with a pair of pliers. The caps didn't come out - the glass disintegrated instead. Now, I've been waiting two days for the vendor to respond. Chirp chirp...

I also promptly ordered a Phiniac tank. Tehehehe...

Lol. I bought a cheap carto tank recently from FT, mostly because it had a glass tank, was $10, and it looked pretty.

The inner o-rings are just big enough to keep it from leaking, but breathe on it wrong and the tank slides off the carto. When I feel like it I'm going to dig through my o-ring organizer and see if I have something that will tighten up its grip on the carto.

In the meantime, I have another IBTanked and two Phiniacs on the way. :hooray:
