It’s been a while now since I’ve received anything from innokin for review but here I am now with the new innokin MVP Pod. When I think of Innokin, I think of quality made products that I’ve tried and used over the years and even more recently I think of how Innokin has taken steps to be more mindful of the environment by using recyclable materials for their packaging of products. Innokin has decided to go back to the basics to create a user friendly and reliable pod device that is the latest in the lineage of the MVP series. The MVP has an internal 500mah battery and allows two modes of output.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
I received two samples for the review but one of the boxes was pretty crushed so my picture will just show the one kit for the package contents.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging on the Innokin MVP is the expected eco-friendly box. There is a picture of the actual device color inside on the front and the back of the box has the contents list as well as a scratch and verify authenticity code. Inside the device is sitting in a cardboard cutout with one pod already installed. The installed pod has a plastic film over the contacts to prevent accidental firing before the pod is filled.
Underneath the device is the spare pod in a paper sealed pouch, USB-C charging cable, user manual, and safety warning booklet. Both pods included are .65 ohm.
You can see in the picture below that one of the boxes I received was slightly damaged in shipping. However, the device inside is in perfect shape and works well. The box they came in was well packaged but little care was given during shipping. If it had not been packaged well then the damage would have most likely been much worse.
Innokin has gone with the slogan “Vaping Made Easy” for the MVP Pod device. This is a very fitting slogan in my opinion for a simplistic pod device that is not only easy to operate but works well in my experience using the samples I received.
The MVP is a really nice looking and well-built pod device in my opinion. Its body is made of a good quality zinc alloy and has a nice weight and feel to it. I’m not usually big on colored side panels but actually like the colored one better out of the two I received. I would normally go with black when ordering something like this but very much like what I believe is a colored IML side panel.
On the front of the device is the lighted fire button. To turn the MVP on/off simply press the fire button three times. To change the output level press the fire button twice and the light around the fire button will illuminate green for 11w output or red for 12.5w output. I know it doesn’t seem like a big change but it is noticeable to me and I prefer the red setting to better fit my vaping style.
The battery level indication is as follows:
- Battery under 10% then the red LED flashes twice within 2 seconds
- Battery at 10-50% then the red light is on for two seconds
- Battery over 50% then the light turns off
When charging, the battery indicator will be red when it is under 90% charged, green when over 90% charged and will turn off when fully charged.
To be honest, I find the indicator light scheme on the MVP to be a little unnecessarily complicated and not what I’m used to seeing on many of the pod devices that I have reviewed in the past.
On the front is the MVP name of the device printed near the bottom.
There is an airflow hole on either side of the body and the USB-C charging port is on one side as well. This makes it nice if you would like to try to stand the device up while charging.
On the back side of the body is the INNOKIN name so there is front and back side branding but not obnoxious in my opinion.
On the bottom of the body is the battery capacity which is 500mah and 1.85Wh.
The pod opening of the battery contains two gold plated spring loaded contacts as well as the two magnets that match up with the magnets on the pod to hold it in place securely. Also contained inside is the airflow sensor as the device can be fired by auto draw as well as pressing the fire button.
The pods for the MVP are both the same and rated at .65 ohms resistance. I’m not sure exactly why but when I saw these pods they reminded me of the Sceptre pods used on that device even though the Sceptre uses replaceable coils where the MVP has disposable pods.
The Innokin team believe that they have found the perfect draw for these pods and claim a quiet and smooth airflow. It is smooth and the airflow is quiet but when the device fires it makes a vibration noise that reminds me of frequency control used on their other devices. I still think it might have been nice if there was an airflow control. I would call the airflow on these pods as a loose MTL.
I do very much like that the pods are slightly tinted and mostly clear so it is easy to see the liquid level. The pods are filled from the side by lifting the rubber plug. I was able to easily fill with no mess from both 10 and 50ml plastic bottles. Like I mentioned, it is easy to see the liquid level so the pods can be filled completely. It is recommended though to not let the liquid level go below 1/3. I’m assuming that this is to keep the coil well saturated and cool in case someone is chain vaping. I personally had no issue running the liquid level lower but didn’t run it dry.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The Innokin MVP Pod is a welcome addition to the well-known MVP line of products. It does what it’s supposed to do. It is easy to use and performs well with good flavor and a decent amount of vapor production for a pod device. The 2.7ml capacity pods are a welcome upgrade where most pods I encounter are 2ml or less.
It has two available power levels with really no other adjustments besides turning the device on and off so just about anyone should be able to pick it up and use it trouble free. I experienced no leaking at all in either of the units I received for testing. Any more, with the advancements made in vaping technology, to me there is no reason to accept leaking on a pod device unless the user has made an error. I’ve made an error once or twice before but not on this device. Of course no manufacturer is perfect and has 100% no failure production but since the MVP includes two pods then you should be able to tell if it’s a defective pod. I mention this because I have reviewed some kits in the past that only included one pod which I consider a mistake on the manufacturer’s part simply because if someone got a bad pod then they can’t use the device and will most likely give poor reviews of the company.
I felt like I got good battery life from the MVP even though it only has a 500mah battery. Is this a device to chain vape all day every day? No but it’s a great little pocket care device for out and about.
If I had to pick a negative of two then I guess the first one would be no airflow adjustment. Some have it and some don’t. This one doesn’t and I feel like it would appeal to a larger audience of vapers if it did. That being said, I like a loose MTL so it was a good fit for me and the mouthpiece is quite comfortable. The auto draw on the MVP works very well. The second complaint I have is the battery indication. I have become used to seeing either multiple LEDs to indicate the battery level or three different colors of lights. I feel like the light indication for battery level could be improved on.
Overall, I very much enjoyed testing the Innokin MVP Pod. I felt like it did what it promised to do which is to keep it simple and work well. So, would I recommend it to you? If you’re looking for a simplistic device to pocket or purse carry that provides good flavor and vapor for out and about then yes. It’s really a solid pod device. I think there are always things that you or I will pick at that we’d like to see on a device but this is really a good one and would recommend it.
I’d like to thank Innokin and Anna for sending the two Innokin MVP Pod kits for this review. Also if you’re reading this then thank you for making it to the end of my long winded review. As usual, there is a link to the Innokin website below for your viewing pleasure.
