MVP problem and cure

[Sally]

I'm posting this in the hope it will help someone else in the same situation.

My MVP stopped working this morning and I was left without anything to vape. As an interim measure I popped down to a shop I found on-line and bought an Ego Twist. This evening I found a cure to my problem.
I seems that the MVP has a design flaw. The positive pin in the 510 connector can get pushed in too far and stick. This can make it impossible for the atty to make contact.

One solution is to take a small screwdriver and gently lift the connector, it doesn't move very far.

Another much harder solution is to undo the four torx screws (T6 or T7) on the top plate and gently lift off. Warning the connections to the 510 connector are relatively fragile. The centre pin can now be pushed up. You could epoxy it at this point but that is up to you.

Hope this helps.

Yeah that problem is a big one with pretty much all Ego devices too. The little battery pin is only held in with some glue or silicone and it can wear away easily

Thanks for posting this. I've been on about this just yesterday in another thread & was wondering about taking the top off.
Out of interest, what charger are you using for the mvp ? Mine is on its first charge right now & the usb charger plug is warmer than it gets on ego batteries. The book ststes about 2/12 hours charge time but i'm on 4 now. Nice one.

I usually plug it into my laptop usb port but I also use a car usb adapter from time to time.

I've got a set of wide-ish flat tweezers that are just the right size to tease the centre pin up. It only needs to come up about half a mm for me, presumably one of my tanks is just a faintly longer than the others in the 510 threading. I'm not sure but I think it's my Kayfun clone.

I've seen talk of someone slipping a very small o-ring over the top circle of the positive pin which they reckon solved the problem by bringing it just a tough higher and adding some spring to it.

I think you're right about the Kayfun clone, mine is just the same.

The small o ring trick works aswell
