I've been using the ipv mini 2 exclusively for a couple weeks now and I must say I love it! Coming off of cloud chasing .2 ohms on a mech I was kinda worried 70W wouldnt be enough but I've been rockin .5 ohm coils at 40W and thats producing more than enough vapor for my liking. Only problem so far is the battery cap is very cheaply made. Lots of people saying they stripped the threads by dropping it once. Buuuttt, looky what i just found IPV Mini Replacement Battery Caps
IPV Mini II...

I was looking at those yesterday as my battery cap already has a dent on the threads, still threads fine and connects fine but would be nice to have extras on hand. I also have been loving the mini2 but was kind of bummed the battery cap dented so easily (it only rolled off my bed while changing a battery).
The ipv mini II was probably the best money I've spent. I use it more than my other two mods. Luckily no problems with the cap yet. I too am very careful bc it's very easy to strip if you don't pay attention.
one of the reviews for the replacement caps says it's made of stainless steel rather than the cheap aluminum original. So even if you have no issues with your cap yet, it might be a good idea to upgrade now because all it takes is one drop then you're ipv is useless til the replacement comes. gotta think ahead guys
i bought one last night. I havent screwed up my threads yet but I am having a tiny little problem thats only gonna get worse. I went to hit my mod and i noticed there was no display on the screen. Like the mod turned itself off or something. I believe i figure out the problem. On the inside of the battery cap, the chrome finish on the little piece that makes contact with the battery is getting scratched off. I searched some forums to see if anyone else had this problem and there was one guy who had a similar issue. His quick fix was to put a tiny piece of tin foil between the battery cap and the battery. Well I tried it and it seems to be a good temporary fix til my new cap gets here
my replacement cap just came in the mail. unfortunately it is not any better quality than the original like I thought. Threads are kinda funky, worse than the original. and it weighs a half gram less than the original cap. I'll probably continue to use the original cap until it completely gives out then switch to the replacement. kinda disappointed to be honest but i guess it's better to have a crappy backup than no backup at all.
