Any Vapers?

I would think for a real smoker , those pen things in supermarkets are useless. You would need something with a lot more power.

You'd be surprised,
Most of the issue is battery and flavor tip life,
The actual potency is rated via the potency of the flavor but it is comparable to the real thing

Seems like the five click on and off would be a pain in the butt ?

It's not bad, once you get used to it. And it can save you from turning it on by accident.

I think I read it wrong,
It's just an option if you want to turn it off ?

Well, yes I guess. It's to turn it on or turn it off. When I am at my computer, I just leave it on. Then just push the button to take a puff. But you wouldn't want to leave it that way if you were on the go, you may accidentally push the button and run the battery down.

Okay there ya go thanks for confirming

I can't imagine where they came up with the five number from :)

Me either, but I will hazard a guess. There are 2 reasons:

1. 5 is a nice round number that even dummies like me can remember.

2. It is very difficult to accidentally push the button 5 times in rapid succession.

Some have safety features to prevent this, like on the MVP 2, I believe it has a 10 second cut off point so if the button was to accidentally pressed for 10 seconds it will cut the power.

Yea, I think the 5 is so that you cant accidently cut the power or in my case go into the menu system.
And I beleive most have fail safe to that will cut itself of if its power too long. I know my Provari does.

Mine works a slightly different on the 5 clicks though. It uses the the 5 clicks to get into the menu. And then a single click in menus to make adjustments or go to the next menu.
Options to to adjust Voltage, Check battery, Check Atomizer Ohm, Turn On/Off etc.

On mine, It has a Power On/Off option but all it does is disable the fire button.
I can still navigate menus and such. I do disable it if Im out and a bout and its going to be in my pocket a while. But for the most part(99% of the time), I just leave it On.


Those small pen do work well and accomplish the goal they are intended for. But it seems most do eventually end up with larger variable mods.
Same with PCs. many will start off with a Pre-Built Dell/HP or whatever and eventually end up building their own later with a OCing MB etc. Both can do the same job, but the DIY high end ones just do it better.

Theres also what they call Mechanical Mods, which have no limiters. You need to know what you are doing with these though because they will happily blow out a coil in a heartbeat.
Most of the variables have a saftey precaution in place. My Provari for example won't fire if my Voltage is set to high for the coil I built. It just tells me its way too much power via a code on the display. Fairly certain a MVP will do this as well.

But the only reason to use a mechanical (IMHO) is if you want to be running sub OHM. any coils under 1.0, such as a 0.5hm. But to do that, you really need to be building your own and have a good Rebuildable. For me I have no desire going mechanical though because mine exceeds my expectations anyway so no need for more.


Thats one of the things I love about vaping. Your setup can be as simple as you want or as complicated as you want. Everything from your setup to your juices (vendor purchased or mixed yourself)
