The latest news is that the chip is a YiHi SX130H. Also, I emailed P4U regarding whether or not this will have pass-thru but the response I received was "yes it has USB charging." I replied and asked them again, so hopefully I'll get a better answer. Regardless, no pass-thru isn't a dealbreaker for me (but it would indeed be a welcomed feature) and I've had my eye on this mod for the past couple of weeks so I pulled the trigger...pre-ordered from 101Vape. They're located in Carlsbad CA which is less than an hour south of me so transit time should be quick. Although I was charged 8.25% sales tax as expected, their pre-order price seems reasonable @ $49.99 (only $4.00 more than GearBest and I won't be growing a lengthy beard waiting for it). 75W is overkill for me but the size, shape and features are what appealed to me most. I'm over my vape budget this month but what else is new.

Preordered through 101vape today - looking forward to my first single-battery TC mod, and loving my IPV4 and especially my IPV3 Li so for $50 it was a no brainer. Fianceé ordered the Sigelei 75w TC, so will be reviewing them both when they come in!

Very interested to see how this chip performs. For $50~60, it could be quite the bargain.

Hopefully the chip is accurate and reliable, I want a second TC mod so I can leave my SX at home but all the others are either too big or too ugly. I think the sig looks amazing so if the chip is good I'll definitely be getting one.

Though I'm a bit worried that we are at the beginning of a huge TC box mod race like we saw with the watt wars not too long ago, which means the Sig could be outclassed and undercut on price shortly so maybe I should wait ;)

So far as the chip goes, I expect it will likely use PWM/boot on Power mode to save on costs. A certain bunch of fanboys will scream about how terrible that is, meanwhile no one else will care. On the TC, I'm assuming it will work the same as the SX Mini, which if so will be great. Also probably missing will be memory locations, preheat adjustments, the gravity sensor, and the Joules battery counter.

So far as price drops are concerned, that's all good for us consumers. ;)

pic on gearbest shows J mode...!

edit: whoops, see what you mean. I guess we will see if it has the J counter!

I hope that it will come to my hand by the end of july

I hope so too. I am excited to get this. I think, if anything, it will use PWM if you are firing under the battery voltage and as well for the TC. The only YIHI chip I have experience with is in the IPV Mini and to be honest the PWM is as good as the DC mode to me. I really don't see why people make such a big deal about how undesirable PWM is. As long as it is in a higher frequency I don't notice it. I was brainwashed for awhile there and all I sought out were flat DC signal chips. But now YiHi uses it for TC and hardly anybody is complaining about the PWM. Anyone know their PWM tc frequency?

The sx350j doesn't use PWM in Temperature Control, rather it uses Pulse Frequency Modulation ("PFM").

What's the difference between PWM and PFM??

PWM - is a modulated binary signal of fixed frequency and duty cycle. For example, a PWM signal may run at 2kHz at a 25% duty cycle, which means that for every .5 ms, a voltage is applied for for .125 ms, than no voltage is applied (after which it repeats).

PFM - is analogous to PWM, but still quite different. In that situation, you still have the on/off approach, but there is no set frequency (which makes duty cycle not applicable). The algorithm turns on or off the voltage as required to achieve the desired goal. So for example, if you look at the YiHi TC signal, the signal will be fairly solid during the initial heat stage, then it will start modulating more once it reaches the desired temperature, runs out of e-juice, airflow cools the coil, etc. There is a maximum frequency at which it can modulate, but the same is true of the Evolv approach.

Also, the sx350J offers preheat modes (e.g., soft, powerful), which if used technical makes it Amplitude-Pulse-Frequency-Modulation (though only during the preheat phase). I wouldn't expect to see this feature though in the IP DV2.

New mod coming from Pioneer4You. The IPV D2, which is claimed to use "the most advanced Yihi chip". It's a single 18650 mod, possibly using the SX350J chip.

here is the final design for the ipv d2, they just informed us about 5 different options of silicone covers white, black, orange, blue and yellow.
it should be available on the 23rd
