Innokin MVP Pod Kit: Original Refillable Model

Red on the MVP doesn't always mean the battery is low. It can also be the higher power setting. That's an important distinction on the Innokin MVP Pod Kit, which uses one button and a small light rather than a screen.

Inside the slim device is a 500mAh battery; the side-fill cartridge contains its own 0.65Ω coil. A draw or a press of the button fires the pod.

Reading the Two LED Signals

The light around the control has two jobs. It shows the selected power mode, but it also gives battery warnings. These signals should not be confused:

Two quick red flashes: battery below about 10%; recharge the device.
Red for two seconds: approximately 10–50% battery, according to the manual.
Green or red when changing output: the chosen wattage, not necessarily a fault.

If the device stops firing, check its charge and the cartridge contacts before assuming the pod is defective.

Green or Red: What Double-Press Changes

Two rapid presses of the fire button switch between Innokin's original fixed output levels.

LED setting	Output	What it means
Green	11W	Normal mode
Red	12.5W	Higher-power mode

There is no free-ranging wattage menu. Press the button three times quickly to switch the kit on. During use, it can fire either by a draw or by holding the button. The airflow is fixed rather than controlled by a slider.

Choosing the Matching Replacement Cartridge

The original MVP accepts a refillable 0.65Ω integrated-coil pod. The heater is sealed inside, so worn coils are dealt with by changing the entire cartridge. Endura M18, Sceptre, Klypse and MVP5 hardware should not be offered as substitutes.

No.1 lists the matching 0.65Ω cartridges in a three-pack. Each listed replacement holds 2ml. Pack of 3 describes these spare pods only, not the quantity of complete devices in a box. For a broader explanation of part fit, see how refillable cartridge systems differ between kits.

Original Colour Finishes

Innokin's original six finishes are Pink Fade, Liquid Amber, Stealth Black, Ocean Waves, Space Grey and Blue Fade. Rather than treating these as flavour options, the names describe the device's outer finish. Pink Fade, Blue Fade and Liquid Amber sit alongside the darker Stealth Black and Space Grey; Ocean Waves is the sixth maker-listed design.

The current No.1 colour selector was not independently accessible, so these are manufacturer choices rather than a promise of live stock.

Side Filling and First-Use Care

The cartridge fills through a silicone-covered opening on its side. Innokin's process is short:

Pull the side tab to expose the fill port; keep liquid out of the airflow opening.
Add e-liquid carefully and press the silicone tab back into place.
For a new pod, wait at least five minutes before use so the wick can absorb the liquid.

Innokin recommends keeping the cartridge at least one-third full. If flavour or vapour drops significantly, or a burnt taste develops, inspect it and replace the pod when needed. No separate coil-head change is involved.

Checking the UK Package and Capacity

The original MVP cartridge came in 2ml TPD and 2.7ml international versions. The overseas 2.7ml option exceeds the capacity permitted for UK retail supply. For UK supply to adults aged 18 or over, check the actual capacity, labelling and applicable notification before sale.

Some historical boxes contain two pods and a USB-C lead. No.1’s sealed contents, colour availability and trade-carton quantity still need checking. Stockists comparing alternatives can check other refillable devices with different cartridge arrangements without assuming their parts interchange.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I switch on the Innokin MVP?

Press the side button three times quickly. A double-press changes between the two power settings.

What do two red flashes mean?

The manual uses two rapid red flashes for battery charge below roughly 10%. Recharge before checking for other faults.

Does the Innokin MVP Replacement Pod 3Pack fit?

Yes. No.1 lists that three-pack for the original MVP kit; it contains replacement 2ml integrated-coil cartridges, not three devices.

Is an international 2.7ml pod the same as the UK version?

No. Innokin documents a distinct 2ml TPD version. Check the actual cartridge capacity and compliance paperwork.

Must I press the button for every draw?

No. This device supports both automatic inhale firing and button activation.
