will this make the MVP obsolete?

vv/vw up to 20 watts
stable ,clean output
can use as a passthrough while charging
can use a 1amp charger for faster charging

this looks like the modern version of what an MVP should be. at a suggested retail of $49.99 it looks like it is affordable for just about anybody-any thoughts? my friend has ordered one and i will wait until i get the report about this but it sure looks like a handy regular or stealth vaping machine....

Does look kind of tempting... size is really nice, like a cheap vaporshark almost. However, I have come to appreciate the quality of the innokin products I own (VTR, MVP2) and not sure eleaf is in the same category - will have to wait on some reviews for that. I actually have a vaporshark already, so I wouldn't buy this for its size alone, but maybe as a spare for times I don't want to risk using the more expensive vaporshark (which is when I currently use my MVP2). If it drops down to $39 it would be any easy "sure, why not" purchase. Also, I really hope the MVP3 isn't too far away...

Although I'm quite fond of my MVP, I can easily see this unseating it as the champion of inexpensive, long battery life, mid-power box mods... assuming it bears out to be a quality device. This thing would pair perfectly with a Nautilus mini. The BVCs really shine above the 11W max of the MVP. I'm running BVCs on a 30W Hana clone at 14-15W and it's pretty great.

Given the diminutive size, price point, and decent power output, this thing could clearly be a winner. I'd most certainly consider one as a stealth and travel battery. I'll probably wait until the price goes sub-$40 which I suspect won't take very long.

Ongoing discussion here (including $5 off code):

the 510 to ego connector is included with each one so that shouldn't be a dealbreaker for anybody- not to mention they're about $1.50 if you had to break down and buy one. if $1.50 prevents anybody from buying this or any other mod it is time to re-evaluate a lot of things....at this price point it just screams back-up or the "i can take it anywhere and not worry if anything happens to it" mod. already sold out-gotta wait for the next batch to arrive. not a bad thing , the 2nd run usually makes those minor corrections they may have overlooked in the first run. this IS going to be popular.....

That sounds like a horrible build for a KF, but provided it is 1+ ohm it should be fine.
The only rebuildable I have is a Kayfun Mini, so the parallel is the only way I can try dual coils, I was just thinking out loud. This device is almost exactly what I have been looking for. The price, size and battery life seem almost perfect for me.

I am seriously considering getting one of these. I was wanting a DNA style 30 watt box mod, due to being able to change out the battery. But I don't know if I really need 30 watts. I don't sub ohm. I own two MVP2's and prefer the box mod style over the tube mod style.
The price on the pre order ones you posted is very tempting.
