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

+1 for the above, just brilliant and never worry about running out of battery life.

I am worried about stiff fire button? my hands are wrecked I know quite a few forum ladies have this...can you wrap hand around it easily? I have small hands

[Pepperty]

*groan* why is every post (about vaping) always sound so ...? double entente filth!!! I swear i'm regressing, 45 and I crack up at he most innocent of comments

IMO the button is fairly soft to press, feels good in the hand and you can grip it and use your index finger or thumb depending on grip. Love mine.

Hi Pepperty I've got 2 vvs (well 3 but the other one is older version with daft charging thing) and take both of them with me during the day - 2 different juices. I have an MVP at home because it does look very strange. It's great though and the battery lasts for ages. The button is a little stiff but not impossibly so - the problem I had was finding a comfortable way to hold it (not having huge hands), once that was sorted the button issue was resolved. I think you have to spend more pennies! Just think of the money you've saved from not smoking.

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

I haven't read everyone's replies sorry if I repeat what someone else has said.

As someone who has had carpel tunnel and had the op on both hands, lost strength and limited sensations in my finger tips because of leaving it too long before going to get it sorted. Don't delay, the damage in my hands is now permanant.

The MVP2 fire button is quite hard to press and causes my wrists and hands to ache after a while, not unbearable, but if I use it for more than 2 days in a row I have to use my Vamo to give my hands a rest. Having said that its great and I like it, however because of my hands I prefer the Vamo even if it is the V3 with the strange casing.

pah loobiebloo I can tell you 'I have no problem spending!!' although, in my defense I do generally hammer ebay ( and bargain deals via hot UK deals forum)

Apparently my forum banner states I have saved over £120? ... I cant bring myself to mention that I have duty free tobacco in cupboard, I have 5x 10+ packets of 40grammes of tobacco, I have over 300 pounds worth of duty free tobacco and I REFUSE to use it, do you think I should build an online shop and flog my tobacco yet?

[Pepperty]

bless zelda, I was sidestepping somewhat, sorry operation didn't work for you I tend to say 'I have carpel tunnel' when I actually am diagnosed with fibromyalgia (whats that I hear you cry ditto with my G.P ) Anyways, basically I have spaccy hands at the best of time, hence me being concerned at vaping equipment 'ease of use'

Hi Pep I have the same vv3 as you and it lasts all day. I was wondering if you were fully charging it. It turns off when fully charged the green light is only 80%. I'm waiting for a second one from slowtech but as it turns off when fully charged at the moment I'm charging overnight.

[Karma]

I don't have the new version of the MVP but 3 of the older version, that's cause I like it I can't comment on the neweer button but the one on the old version is fine, I have OA in my thumb joints.

As for the shape of it, can I just remind you that you weren't keen on the shape if the iTaste until you got it

again, it's fab for not rolling off tables, and a nice big Protank or Davide would look great on it. I usually have a Trap Tank or Unique Tank on mine (carto tanks)

Myepack seem to be the best price at the moment, or ask on the classies if anyone wants to sell a version 1

BTW, can't you sell the baccy to fund your vaping, I've never found it a problem to get rid of baccy during all my previous stop smoking attempts

[Pepperty]

yes Babs I charge until green light goes out, hence me being a bit concerned --- its showing at 4.2 when I check, but I swear its always shooting from green to sudden red flashing light/death.

Know what you mean, somewhere in the house are 18 packs of gv, the wife has hidde n, haven't actually bothered looking for it, bought it on holiday in case vaping didn't work.

[Pepperty]

exaaaaaaaaactly Karma, I'm planning to wait a bit longer? - but I'm sure I can easily fund vaping habit on proceeds (and profit) of flogging my duty free tobacco It was never my intention to quit but its just sort of............happened?

Pep ( of Merseyside, home of the 'knockoff) it wont be difficult shifting my own weight in tobacco

[barrynorton]

Sorry, I also have the old model. Gladly swap you if you find the v2 button too stiff Tease-smiley

[Pepperty]

heheh Barry, I might hold you to that --- if I ever dive in and choose?...

xx easily swayed Pep
who can never focus on a firm decision
