Got mine today and have a big problem with the temp control. Put on my smok gct tank with the 0.2 nickel coil. Set resistance which read 0.239 and under 400 degrees is fine but set it above 400 degrees and fire for more than a second and it stops firing and says short on he screen. Doesn't matter if it's on 30 joules or 50

i was testing temp control on my ipv4 yesterday and noticed that if you are firing without drawing air..ie you are looking at the screen and not inhaling...it will trigger the shutoff prematurely...I think its because without drawing in air the coil temp and related resistance spikes as though the wick were dry when its not. temp works under real use circumstances but the wick needs juice and the coil needs air.
Tighten down your coil to the base of the tank and make sure your tanks 510 pin is clean, if it doesn't make good contact you will hear a slight buzzing sound and it will show short. had this happen to me on a freemax starre with nickel atlantis coils and that nipped the problem in but.
I purchased the Kanger subtank ni200 coils with my ipv4 & I couldn't get a good vape from it at all. But I built my first nickel coil on a new Veritas rda yesterday & it hits like night & day. My home built coils hits just as good at my kanthal builds.
so the temp control does work? I just saw a post somewhere else that says the temp control is a failure, but I have watched many reviews and they say it works great, it was recommended to set at 420 degrees and 25 joules is that about right? and what if I wanted to go up to like 460 like on my invader mini how many joules would that have to be? I love temp control and have been using my invader mini more than anything else due to the temp control, so please if the temp control doesn't work let me know, mine is to be here in just about an hour or less
Temp control does work well, just set your joules where you like the vapor production/vape, temp will be limited where you set it regardless of the joule setting...just make sure you do a set resistance when the mod and atty are cool/room temp for it to work as intended.
The chip is solid and temperature control works fine. The build quality of the rest of the device is not really the best, but hey, for $79,it's fine.
I'm wondering how bright the screen is on the IPV4. All the promotional pictures on the web show it as being very bright while some reviews says its dismal. I have an IPV3 mini and the screen on it is horrible.
The first mods had a mirrored finish on the plastic screen covering the LED screen. So when the LED screen lit up, it showed through the mirror finish. The problem with this was that it made it impossible to see the screen outdoors in bright sunlight. I ended up removing the plastic screen, and then removed the mirror finish from the back of it. This made a dramatic improvement and the screen is now visible.
I have the black iPV4 and my screen is incredibly bright. I haven't had an issue seeing it in any lighting conditions thus far.
the black units don't have the mirror finish only the first batch of the silver units did and they have since fixed it with a new screen cover. its now the same as the black units. temp control works great no issue's
I just got a black one, they fixed the mirrored screen issue, at least mine is nice and bright.
