IPV D2

[smacksy]

Hi
I've been hearing great things about this latest Super Mini Box mod from P4U..
Does anybody own one of these and if so do you really like it and why..
My only concern it's a single 18650 and was wondering how long could one go on a single charge..any thoughts? Thx

There's a lot of discussion on the ipv D2 in this thread: IPV D2 announced. | E-Cigarette Forum

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Good thread to follow.

D2 takes 10 seconds to swap out a battery. If you planned on pushing Max wattage batteries will go rather quickly.
For the average user, commonly 20w-35w it's a great mod with lots of head room for experimenting.
Small form factor restricts it to a single 18650 but makes it much more convenient to carry.
IPV4s is obviously the better choice for longer battery time or higher power users.

And for the negative .... Everyone says the paint don't last.

God only knows what this mod looks like after the paint starts peeling off.

I've only had the IPV mini 70w for a few weeks and I already want this one. Where does it end? I too am interested in finding out if everyone likes this as much as they did the IPV mini. The mini is very heavy, is the D2 made of plastic or metal? Does it outweigh the mini or say an istick 50?
IPV has really got my attention now, I will say the mini is my favorite mod so far.

I can let know more about how heavy it is and such when it gets here, hopefully in a day or two..for $50 I thought is worth a shot to order one...lol

It's only heavy if you put an 18650 in it.

Well, I'm a week in with no marks or peeling. I do not pocket, but have a holster to carry.
I doubt it would hold up to keys and change but a lot of mods don't.

I ordered one today, also. Looking forward to getting it. As for paint holding up, I bet it still looks better than my Vapor Sharks

Did it come with a silicon sleeve and do you use it?

Yes it did and No I don't.
Kind of defeats the purpose of a quick change battery. I also received a Carbon Fiber Skin for the battery cover, but have not installed it yet.(dealer included)

When I started using the silicon sleeves on my mods, they developed signs of humidity on the inside of the screen (i.e. the inside of the protective plastic over the LEDs). I stopped using them the minute I noticed what was happening (never happened before I started using the sleeves) but the haze and tiny specs of condensation have not gone away. I would stay clear of them.

I use mine with no issues, and live in super humid South Florida.

Well the IPV mini is heavy even without the 18650 in it, so I will take that answer as it is lighter than the Mini V2 70?

When you charge the D2 via the supplied charge cord how can you tell when its fully charged?
I'm expecting mine to be delivered today and was wondering if a light or something is used during charging...I'm kinda hoping I could charge it with the silicon sleeve still on it...and I'm hoping for decent run times between charges....thx

Do you live in a State that has high humidity? I live in sunny (and hot!)
southern California where humidity is really low...just curious, thx

Bottom has an LED and the Battery Display will show a full battery. I never Mod Charge though.

Rice will get rid of the condensation/droplets. Lay the Mod(opened) in a baggy with Rice for a day or two.

Will the led go out when the unit is fully charged?

Good Question, no clue.
Again, I do Not Mod charge.

I dug out my D2 manual and it does not specify indicator change.
Tossed mine on the charger to check:
24w capable wall wart to usb/round pin cable
*Red LED when connected
Swapped to Fresh Sony on 20w
* 5 minutes, LED OUT
Test Complete

So, even though Documentation is weak, it seems the LED will go out once the Battery is fully Charged.

Back to Swapping fresh batteries, charged in a proper charger
