Anyone going for the ipv mini? Trying to decide between it and the Sig 100w+

I'm seriously thinking about it. I want to see what others say first though. I know its cheap, but my istick has been kind of aggravating, and I may sell it or pif it as soon as I'm done rebuilding the Hana clones.

I'm seriously considering the rDNA @ 20% off today, the variant clone is in the same price range but unproven as of now

Err, I wouldn't say that. I have the Variant clone and it is performing flawlessly and without issue. The rDNA on a whole has had a ton of reported issues at the moment, just sayin. Now, I hope the one that I have does not have any problems, but I haven't used it really. I only made turn that the screen is on, and the buttons work. :laugh:

Well that's good to know, I did read about the rDNA display issues but since VS and evolv are being good about replacing them wasn't worried. I was considering the FT variant because of the 10% sale today but all that is moot after I rechecked my budget :-X so Sig 100+ or ipv mini is the choice right now.

I think its also a culture difference. The Chinese viewpoint on many things is different than ours.

I have to say I wasn't happy though to be told to wait for the repair kit, and then be told, no, you can't return it because you used it. How was I supposed to determine it was unusable without using it?

I just decided after this to not buy any clone attys until others have gotten one, especially reviewers like Nikki. At least not from a company who won't let me return it if it has major issues I can't fix. I spent too much money and time on that particular clone.

I am hapy with my other FC purchases so far. The Zero has the resistance problem, but that's easy to work around. Set the power according to the actual resistance of the build, and its all good. The Wotofo ZNA is wonderful. The Stingray X is immaculate.

Roxy, you should not have accepted that you could not return because you used it excuse from Eleven. You should have gone right over her and to Doris. You are right, if it took using it to know that there was a problem, then that it what it is. I would have verbally blown Eleven's head off if she told me some crap like that :glare:

Hmmm .. Sounds like Pallas shenanigans. I haven't seen the recent stumpy's because I only got one from the early batch but, ... I do recall about two weeks ago Doris came on skype with an exploding black face emoji saying that they had just realized that Pallas didn't send their full order with the first batch. The warehouse never counted the box, and they didn't realize that they didn't receive the full order until they sold out and saw that the #'s didn't add up.

So, all this to stay that Pallas may have pulled a fast one and sent them whatever after FC complained about not receiving their full order .. but I am speculating based on what Doris said a few weeks ago, I don't know this for sure. I would contact Doris directly about this one because Eleven is not really involved with the US warehouse and she will probably give you some ridiculous and infuriating response to the situation.

This is the third time i've had to deal with Eleven and i didn't have any problems just like my first two times. I sent her a picture of the cracked plastic tank section and a short video showing that the chimney would not fit through the top cap. She responded right away and said she will send me out a new one. She also confirmed that they did not change manufactures so i'm guessing Pallas changed the packing to save money.

It was my first order. I just figured that was their policy and to be very picky about what I buy from them from now on. She gave everyone that same answer about the SqR. A lot of angry people in that thread.

    Ok, my Zero just did something weird. I changed the battery. For a moment it read the resistance correctly at 1.2ohm, then went back to 1.0ohm. I checked it again to make sure it really was 1.2 ohm and working correctly and it is. What do you think of that?

    Keep changing the battery, maybe after so many changes it will read right and stay that way :laugh:

    Right now I have the lancia on it with dual coils, which on ohm meter reads as 0.50ohms, but on the zero is reading 0,30ohm and is firing it, even though the lowest resistance is meant to be 0.50ohms, but it is only putting out 2.6volts, still vaping good enough though :)

    FINALLY got my Stingray X. Verdict? 99.9% happy. The button is a wee bit scratchy however the throw is awesome and it fires every single press, I've already sanded them a little but will allow some break in time. I haven't used the hybrid mount yet but can see myself using it with drippers for a bit better look - the drip tip itself is awesome, threading is smooth and the smaller size vs my Nemesis makes it a glorious dream.

    Pardon me, time for some chain vaping. I may need to get more juice tomorrow, and I think I'm going to drop my dripper resistance a bit to play with this baby at work tomorrow.

    Unless you give us pictures, it never happened :D Seriously though, pics would be appreciated. I can't get my mind around wicking with a vertical in that.
    Not quite what you were talking about, but this is one way to skin that cat. I used such a setup in a Kayfun and a Plume Veil, for no other reason than I was curious and found it actually worked pretty good. Credit goes to dice57 for the following photo:

    Hey Cindy? Does your BF-99 leak? I'm finding mine seeping from the bottom very scary on certain APVs. Gonna see if maybe some pipe tape on the threads or better o-rings will help. Sigh Oh well, at least there's hope for the Origen... Right?
    I don't think mine's even shipped yet - sorry. Oh no, not another fixer-upper! :unsure: I just got my SquapeR working right. Gurrl, I got this atty because of YOU - I had already forgotten about it, till you brought it up again. :grr: :laugh:

    Can't seem to find any other forums talking about this one...but teflon tape and a beefier o-ring sounds like a plan. :thumb:

    Origen Genesis and black SMPL...any day now!

    Lol. Oops? It's barely sweating. I think it's an over tightening issue. My Origen won't ship until the end of the week. Keep hope alive! [emoji24]

    I almost went with the Origen V4. Almost, but the Eleaf Lemo beat it out.
    Crossing my fingers for the Lemo.
    I had read too many negative things about the Origen V4 leaking.
    It is hard to call when all you have is what others say about something to go by.
