Och gill2009 that's just shite. I was a big innokin fan until this range of coolfire and MVP3 arrived on the market and have been beset with charging issues. Don't know why as the MVP 1 & 2 never had this problem to the same extent. Seems like they have regressed on this aspect.

I totally agree with you striker42...I'll bring her along to next meet for you to play with.

I still have my MVP 2...& she has never missed a beat!

Sorry for your loss

A mate of mine has an MVP3 which has had to be replaced twice from the vendor as the USB charging port failed.
I'm now a bit concerned as I have bought a Coolfire 4 for my wife for Christmas - hope this isn't what's classed as "a pig in a poke!".

What makes it more of a bummer with the MVP3 chykensa, is the fact that 99% will not have been charged every day so the chances are that the charging port may only have been used 2/3 times a week and they are failing very quickly. More cases of this coming to light on a regular basis. I really liked mine but with this problem becoming all to common, I won't be buying another one.

Sorry you having difficulties gill2009 . Thanks for highlighting it - there are so many products with design faults that its getting to the point where nothing is a sure bet...

I know - I have 2, an MVP3 and a Pro, and although I carry them with me I tend to use my Sigelei day in, day out anyway. I'll be keeping a careful eye on them as emergency backups though, and taking the plugging in of the Micro USB very carefully from now on!
