Anyone having these issues with their ipv d2?

[S2KVenom]

I have 2 of these. One came yesterday and I'm having problems with it. It's firing all my atomizers at 6-7volts. I even lowered the watts to 10watts and its firing between 5-6 volts. My other one is normal.

My friend told me that the ipv d2 circuit board is too close to the negative and eventually the battery can blow up. Is this true? he told me to get a sigelei 75w Tc instead.

First, without knowing what you are using on each one, tank type/resistance/etc. it is hard to say.
Second.....................your friend seems kind of clueless.
The IPV-D2 is a very well designed Mod with an outstanding chip running things. Knowing proper usage makes for an outstanding experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, if you are using a tank with a to low ohm coil in POWER mode you may not be able to ACTUALLY reduce the wattage as you are hoping.
Screen setting does NOT mean actual output will match.
Screen reading=request
Actual output cannot go lower than Battery Voltage
You can run a standard Kanthal/Nichrome build in TC mode and reduce power to 10w, but you will not actually have Temperature control, just lower wattage.
For Mod reference - watts=Joules

Where are you getting the figure 6v-7v for output?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may have a defective unit. If so return it for exchange.
It will be the first we have heard of so far.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find a lot of information and discussion in the APV/Temperature control sub-forum
Plenty of people willing to help out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been using mine heavily for 3 days now and cannot find any real issues or concerns.
Orchid Tank
Dual Coils .48ohm - Kanthal in power mode
28watts

Orchid Tank
Dual Coils .101ohm Ni200 in TC mode
30J / 400F
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is an Extremely low chance of ever Blowing up a Battery in this type Mod if operated properly.

It only has a slight limitation in wattage mode due to the fact it will not lower voltage below 3.7 volts. So my .28 ohm kanthal dual coils were firing over 50 watts even when I set it down to 7. So I changed it over to temp control mode, locked the resistance and set the temp at 450 degrees: works like a champ 8). If I want higher then 50 watts on a low ohm build I go to wattage mode, if I want lower I go to temp mode. Extremely versatile lil mod. I prefer Joules mode anyways, as my coils heat up faster then in wattage mode I've found. It feels like it spikes wattage, then slowly lowers it the longer you drag.

My battery door was a lil loose, so I just pinched it a lil and now it's super tight. The silicone sleeve is a pain to get on and off so I need to find some lube for it. Right now I just leave the silicone cover off, but that sleeve sure adds a nice level of protection to the finish when installed.

Yeah man talcum powder (baby powder) also makes the rubber skin look a cool grey colour for a bit. Sweet mod.

Glad to hear good things about the D2, I've just been eyeing one up. It's either that or the Sigelei but I like them tiny

 

[Stownz]

Awesome, just used corn starch. Thanks for the tips!

I started looking at a review for the D2 and once I saw the charging port I just stopped. I just don't know what it is with that company, whether its a sketchy screen, charging circuit, touch sensor, port, or something else, they just seem bound and determined to have a fatal character flaw with every device, then send it back to the drawing board several times after it hits the shelves applying redneck fixes as they go. I can forgive the mistakes if they learn from them, but we're just repeating history here.

The traditional redneck fixes from Pioneer4you are going to make a regrettably predictable appearance. In a few weeks the charging circuitry will likely be removed and a plastic plug put in its place, and I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they used a black sharpie to blot out the writing by the charging port.

The D2 charge port is an integrated part of the Main board designed by YiHi and answers the Fragile micro USB board failures or Many mods, not just P4Y.
There is NO need for a Micro USB to do Charge only duties, though the sell phone crowd seem to think it is a Requirement.
Tablets with micro USB charge ports have failed by the tens of thousands.

It is a Fragile and useless design for continual use, though a good feature for occasional data transfer.

Check out the Temperature Control Forum D2 thread to see the membership that have purchased and agree it is an excellent piece.

Reads as a likely defective Battery casing. Battery sits + end down. Cell fluid leaked into the Base.
Issue seems strange indeed as OP claims to be set well within specs and Vape is normal.

She's gonna blow!!! Your friend is not giving you very good info. The D2 fires from 3.6-7 volts, it will not fire 6-7 volts unless it call for it. Yihi make the best boards on the market IMO I have used them for a quite awhile. And my D2 is just awesome, im sure yours are too. We need some more info, like ohm load, atty etc. The charger is a Yihi unit that is installed by them not PFY so there is no worries there. The barrel connector is preferred for charging as it is more sturdy. It works really well I use it.

i just bought ipv d2 about a week now and used with kangertech rba subtank kanthal 0.58ohm single coil. at first it was ok outputting 7W ie 2V @ 0.58ohm. i even measured the output with oscilloscope and it exacted at 2V. few days using it, ie changed to 0.98ohm double coil Goblin (i think around 2ohm each coil) i upped to 20W to suit, still ok, outputting 4V or something. and then i changed back to the earlier kangertech coil, set to 7W again but it boiled the liquid spitting everywhere, so i check again, now the output stays at 4V cannot get lower even if i set at 7W 2V 0.58ohm request. i think its broken, cannot output less than 4V now. but it still can go up to 7V or something, still usable for greater wattage as expected, but broken for lower wattage i expected it to be, dissapointed, now this is the state of my IPV D2 where it deserves (attached picture). this is what happens when my stuffs got broken, autopsy and reverse engineering time! i specifically register just for this thread because i saw some glorifying comments, robust? i dont think this device deserves the glorification. much more or less at "onehunglow" grade. FWIW, YMMV...

now i need help. there are several chips that i cannot find in the net.. one is labelled AN3102 soic 8pin. and one is labelled IXS6570 soic 8pin, both i believe are the keys to watt regulation, esp the IXS6570 i need the datasheet. if they are proprietary chips then i'm in deep sheet.

I've been digging this for days now... whatever it is that soic 8 pin ic.It could be a pwm controller but there is an mcu.So i thought that this has to be a half bridge driver.
Couldn't find anything like this on mouser or digikey.Any luck @shafri ?

Oh btw, i didn't just check the component by name.I downloaded every single datasheet and compared it with this one.

 

[shafri]

no luck here... i guess they are china made chips, i figured out the whole board is made by YIHI an electronics company in china. i guess most e-cig mod makers are getting the board in its entirety from YIHI. IXS6570 is highly probably a pwm chip, i'm not sure what AN3102 does... the mcu label is scrapped away, so not easy to find out.... i put my ipv mod back together again and have to live with 20W minimum power (even if its showing 7W on its screen)... anyway another little progress is one can get the screen part replacement in ebay if damaged. the keyword is oled screen or Monochrome-128x32-SPI-OLED-graphic-display or something like that...

 

[wacdd]

sx350j has the same ic at the same spot.5.pin going to the one of the mosfet's gate.And its shorted.Also the mosfets gate and source pins are shorted.
I removed the mosfet, checked the entire area for any short and no luck.Then i removed that IXS6570, G-S short was gone between the mosfets pads.
I'll keep working on this, if (hopefully) i find something, i'll let you know.

@shafri
I've found this, check it out.I think that one is going to do the job.

Yeah no sorry. Micro USB is tried and proven. I've had batteries charging with micro USB that still work fine a year later. My IPV D2 charge port died within 3 weeks. Got a new IPV D2 and that charge port died within 3 weeks. Searched the Internet, I'm not the only one having that problem. Now I'm stuck charging 18650's on my old flashlight battery charger. The poster who avoided the IPV because of it's non-standard charge port was right to do so. I sure wish I had gotten a different battery.
