So I'm in the market for a new PV...I did a pre order for an ipv V1 and then canceled it because I wanted the touch fire button that's on the iPV2. However now that I am ready to place another order I don't know whether I want the ipv V2 or do I want the Dovpo E-Mech because it has step down regulation?! I'm also considering the unreleased Cloupor T5, does anyone know if it has step down regulation? That's a feature that is really like to have. Decisions decisions.... What do u guys think??

kalebk07 here is my review of the IPV2. I hope it helps.
Side note: Dovpo is cool but I have no personal experience with it. Not too into the transformers logo thing and shape seems funky. Doesn't look like it would stand up easily without tipping and possibly breaking my glass tanks. just saying.
The Clouper T5 looks like a cross between a D_LIDO and a TV remote. IMO I will pass! ("Is that a T5 in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?")

SO here is my review... I am thrilled wiht my new IPV2. It is charcoal black (more like a deep dark grey than a dark black).
I got it from VaperCompany (thanks Jason) for $105.00 with 2 day shipping included (USPS priority). Insurance was extra but i think a good idea. Eleve8 has it for 79 if you use coupon but i think you pay shipping.

First of all I am surprised to see (in person, first hand) how small/compact this box mod is. It looks and feels more compact than the Hana mod or MVP or any other box mod I have seen. Side by side it looks smaller (not thinner of course) than my iphone5. It isn't as heavy as I thought it would be (even with the battery... which is NOT included in unit BTW). My Vamo v5 actually weighs more than this box. Go figure

I have to say, the production quality is spot on with mod. Attention to detail on this unit is absolutely amazing. The outside of the box has a nice (?) powder coating and is without flaws, scratches, or blemish. The inside of the box is clean as a whistle (no ugly wires, visible connections, chips, etc. that you often see on some "homemade mom and pop" mods). The only thing you see when you open it up is the battery compartment (easily marked with + and - to avoid mistakes... even though this unit has built in protection for that). There are two TINY counter set screws holding door shut. (Sort of wish it has a magnetic closure). If your eyesight is bad beware. If you drop a screw, you are screwed. (Greenleaf actually sent 4 extras with the mod and a tiny screwdriver as i suspect cross threading will be an issue if you choose to remove battery for charge rather than use USB.)

The (three) side buttons are small, clicky and precise and right where you want them. Look sort of look like flat top BB's. The touch fire button (located on top) is new and imo unique. It takes some getting used to (it is an OPTION for firing either way). It can be locked to avoid accidental firing. If mod is inactive for 10 seconds it goes into sleep mode

The screen (on the side) is the same as the IPV1. It is big enough to clearly show wattage, voltage (both change and adjust automatically when one is changed), the battery bar (no % or # shown though) and finally the ohms/resistance.

The unit locks easily and quick and it powers up very fast. There is a USB port on bottom and charging is relatively fast considering I am using a Sony VTC4 30 amp. (They recommend a 30 amp battery if you are gonna fire high watt and low ohms) A short USB cord included.

Ok... Now the USE: I have tried a Kanger aero tank (1.5 dual), a Kanger mega tank (1.5 dual), the Yiloong Kaiser (with 2.0 single), and a Patriot dripper (tried with single and double coils). In each case it was wonderful. More cloud, stronger flavor but be careful... you can easily over shoot the sweet spot on this mod and get your juice too hot. Yes, big clouds are easy but the taste is more crucial to me personally.

Battery life is hard to say so far. I used it on day one for 8 hours and battery looked to be still at 3/4 (and that is firing it a lot with many different tanks and maxing it out at 50 watts to see what happens).

Adjusting the wattage for each tank and type of juice was easy (and necessary). If you aren't familiar with settings of a VV/VW mod and how to adjust for different coils be sure to google vaping CHART 3.0. Great resource to hit the sweet spot and enjoy a vape at the right (and safe) settings. There is absolutely no pause when firing this little beast. It is amazingly quick. There is no wait for coils to heat and fire. Quite a pleasant surprise, really.

I have to say, this unit was all that I hoped it would be. I am SO glad I preordered and grabbed it now before everyone jacks up price (like all the gougers on ebay). Bottom line, I highly recommend the iPV2 box mod from Pioner4you/greenleaf.

Thank you to VaperCompany (esp Jason) for their amazing customer service. You guys are top notch professionals.

Thanks for reading my long worded review. Sorry no video or pictures. Plenty of that online already.
