iTaste battery decision: advice please

[Pepperty]

I started on an evo type battery, and ce4 and after a week ordered mini protank2 as I could taste plastic, that solved that issue, then I went and bought an iTaste vv starter kit (after listening to you all and reading info/advice) I love it, so was planning to buy a second kit...

Now my issue is this, I seem to be permanently attached to charger cable? I know i'm probably vaping my head off? but i'm only 2 weeks smoke free so its an absolute crutch and necessary --- plus I enjoy it   I'll take a guess at 400+ vapes a day? although I'm using lower nic levels at night (when I hammer it) and probably 4 - 5ml juice per day - so not excessive? 

I know if I buy another itaste vv I wont have to vape through - as at the moment, using 1 unit the recharge is taking forever, as I vape at PC/vape on charging cable watching TV but I feel a slave to cable/power?!? Obviously if I have 2 batteries, one can charge whilst I'm using other.

What I'm wondering about is whether I should buy an iTaste mpv as my second unit ...then I'd get a massive 2600 battery, no more issue with power and can keep my itaste vv fully charged for 'outings' I have to be honest, I find it really totally unsightly, quite an ugly beast - especially in comparison to the beauty that is the itaste vv battery. I'm also concerned at a couple of youtube videos which mention the pressure needed on power button. I have carpel tunnel, so dodgy wrists, weak hands and sometimes get muscle spasm in fingers? will I manage to use this comfortably? Its a lot of money to pay out to find I cant even power it up?!  

Another thing to consider, I adore my mini protank, but its sometimes a chore when I settle down early eve but have to get up to refill tank later on, so I quite fancy a normal size ( BIG mo'fo) tank sometime soon, and I can see that a large tank looks fine on an mvp but would look like an obscene lollipop perched on my itaste vv battery 

Can I ask (if you have either/both) what your experience is like and what you think  thinkingsmileynot that I'll necessarily listen to you! hahah

at the moment, worrying that my itaste vv battery will die on me when i'm out - as it did last Wednesday - I'm carting about in my handbag an external battery pack, which is large and heavy ....

the itaste box mod probably is smaller? My phone always dies at inopportune moments so I thought I could charge via external battery for both ecig and phone... ???


If I took the cable for itaste mpv i'd be able to emergency charge phone enough for emergency phone call/text yes?

Given what you've said, I'd look elsewhere than another iTaste VV.

800mAh.... (it's not a lot...)

I run an 18650 mod (currently SID) with 3,400 just to take the strain off my Spinner. Maybe the same thing might work for you.
It also suits carto tanks and stuff, whereas out and about I only use Spinner and mini Protanks.

I guess if you don't have the batt's and charger, MVP is the logical choice.

I have both devices - the MVP is great, the button isn't very stiff at all and whilst it's stiffer than the itaste it's by no means hard to push IMO. I get absolutely ages out of it - well over a week, but I tend to use my itaste during this day and my MVP in the evening. Plus you can charge your itaste from your MVP if you get stick out and about with no power source. However, there's no getting round it, it's a big ugly square box. 

Now, using a bigger tank on the itaste doesn't look that ridiculous - a protank is the same height as a protank mini, it's just a bit wider. I really like the look of it on my itaste, but it does make it a bit top heavy when standing it up (my cats like to knock it over).

See the image below for comparison:

oooh ionion, does look nice....I'd need to buy a beauty ring *licks lips* me wants the chameleon v.v.v.v much

[Pepperty]

I'm positive that i'm NOT ready for a "battery-operated-boyfriend" looking device in my hand (bag)
even if I get past the look of them, I'm still completely lost about sourcing the batteries that go in them...and no way will I try coiling <well not this month>

Pepperty- the beauty ring I'm using there comes with the protank 2 from myepack, so no need to buy anything extra!

gawd, sounds so so wrong, here I am drooling at 'your equipment so to speak!!!' good job my man is down the pub, not reading my posts on forum!!

3.5ml tank - for me an iClear30 - on an MVP would be highly recommended

[Pepperty]

the itaste mvp comes with 1 iclear30 so ....i'd get the chance to experience a larger tank? It is a plastic tank though, am just worried because I kept tasting a plasticy burnt tang when trying out ec4's.. is it a world of difference though

I'm glad my equipment does it for you   

I'm sure someone must have the black chameleon in stock somewhere (although obviously I think it looks very masculine  )

Pepperty .. +1 for the MVP .. you will get a minimum of 2 full days between charges. If you are worried about the stiff button on the current version 2 , stick a wanted ad in the classies for a version 1 model (vv but no vw) .. the button on the original model is quite soft.

[Pepperty]

heheh, I dropped an email to paradise vape and James replied saying that new stock due in --- so I know I can get the 'adorable glittery chameleon' if I wait

I'm just castigating and deliberating about my best option. I have to say that the larger tank does look nice on itaste vv battery, which I lie flat -- and it doesn't roll away! i'm now swaying towards a second slimline battery...oh its such a quandary!

On teh other hand, what does it matter what I use in my home?....if it lasts me all day 

[ionian]

Pepperty - get both. You deserve it

[Pepperty]

ohhh doooont! because surely you know- that next month there will be MORE irresistible deals and the 'golden mecca' of new equipment to tempt me? I'm known to over fixate on any newfound hobby/interest, I will end up going completely overboard
