Just noticed that it makes a squealing noise while it displays short. Took the 510 screw out and it still gives short with atty off. The higher I turn up the wattage, the louder the squeal. Funny that with an atty it functions perfectly. I guess I need to decide whether to live with it or go through the warranty stuff.
Get in touch with ipioneer4u and your vendor..
I've tried to short out mine.. only with tools on my coils, but so far I haven't had any..next time I rebuild something, I'll intentionally build a dead short..wish me luck.:/
I would try and exchange with vendor before contacting p4u... should be much faster. It should show 1ohm with no atty connected.
Your not pissing anyone off friend , ( you'll never please everybody) regardless of how hard you try anyway , but your post is excellent , many good points .
I don't think P4U cares once they get paid .
That is totally predictable , as i said once the new best thing comes along all hell will break loose again with pre orders and the same vendors will again get crucified lol.
Truthfully, if this chip was in a Hana mod or Hana clone box -- would be 100% perfect. The buttons on this thing are what make it feel cheap to me. Oh wow, they're clicky. Who cares, I've already had the buttons get locked into place. Partially because there's nothing stopping them while they're being pushed in. Maybe I have a dud box. But I can literally push the button, hear the click, and see it's function, then press even a tiny bit harder and the button almost goes even more and eventually will get stuck.
Or maybe you guys are just way too fascinated by Oh my god 50 watts, to acknowledge it's faults. It's a shotty build. I'm not going to lie and say it's not a neat device, and happy about the chip. Just a crappy container.
Your the first and only one i have heard with this complaint , that says something.
Why on earth are you purposely trying to test it's limits ? It's these types of remarks admitting that your pushing the buttons much harder than you have to that do not help with warranty claims , that could easily be shown to be outside of normal usage .
Vendors definitely read these comments, so i wouldn't be admitting the stuff your doing to these mods even if you are . It's a electronic device for cheap $$ and most are very very happy, and yes, 50 watts is a very very big deal .

ANYONE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR ELEV8 ORDER READ THIS!
Just so you guys know, I ordered the IPV from elev8 and missed the 79$ deal. I inquired about getting it applied and was told "The code is usually on during the day time and off during the night time so just giving you a heads up in case you're interested in ordering again
". They also added something I requested to my order for free. It's not that there sneaking it in, it runs on a daytime only schedule. I am sure P4U is fully aware they are running it, as if it were against there policy they would stop shipments completely. Punishing a vendor doesn't make any sense at all from any perspective, and no one gains anything from it. Other vendors telling you a story about how they can't give you a $79 deal because they will be punished are lying, they literally cannot do so as they have not order a large enough quantity to sell it that cheap or do not want to, Larger orders = lower prices. It's easier to make themselves look good by giving others who provide more value a bad name. Read on how Chinese bulk ordering works, they is no set MSRP! I have done ordering from china , and it always goes in volume. If you look on alibaba you can see P4U posting and contact them directly about bulk pricing. But if you wanna see what I'm talking about, search almost any electronics product there and you will see the prices are listed like this, ex. Price : $3.00-15.00. If you inquire with any sales person you will find if you order ten units, it is $15 each, if you order one hundred units, it is $10, one thousand units would be $5 and so on. The best example I could find was a ZNA30 clone, The minimum order was 1 piece with 50,000 a day capability and the price was US $10-60 / Piece ( FOB Price). 1 unit would be $60, it is not specified how to receive $10 but its likely over 5,000 units. FOB price means Free on board(freight on board), a price which includes goods plus the services of loading those goods onto some vehicle or vessel at a named location. Keep in mind that example is almost 100% a scam, as most companies on alibaba are but is a proof of pricing concept.
The manufacturers also provide there production capability, which on P4U/green leafs page for the IPV v2 is exactly - Supply Ability:10000 Set/Sets per Week. There supply can mean overall for all vendors they provide to(warehouse total production) or trailered to your maximum order(individual production max). It is usually tailored to what you need, so they are promising 10000 units per week to any vendor that needs that. There minimum order is 10 units, so an example would be 10 units for $85 each($850 + shipping, basically what eBay sellers do to make a quick 400 or so at 120 each), 5000 units for $40 each. These are theoretical prices based on the Chinese supplier business model, but they are prob not far off.
Considering people are posting with order numbers as low as the 5000's that I have seen and as high as almost 8000, that means P4U must have reviewed an order at least 3000-6000 units/sets from elev8(at $40 each x 5000 units that's $200,000, sold at $79 would return $395,000 not including units sold at $109, just a theoretical business model but over $200,000 profit when factoring in higher prices units that sold). Elev8 had a preorder for weeks at a reduced price to get reduced prices to provide it at a lower price. Chinese suppliers typically do not allow you to place orders without the full amount upfront, and need a several week lead time. It is most likely that elev8 placed a order for 3000-6000 units at the beginning of July or late June in cash and then ran there sale. If it seems unrealistic that they placed a $200,000 order keep in mind there are many investors that would back this for a percentage knowing the return is almost guaranteed, as long as they money transfer was secured(escrow or other means).
P4U prob promised all those units within a week of the 20th which is why they had/have a week lead time on there site, considering they advertise they ability to make 10000 units a week. It is not likely they are ordering this in small batches with your money, because they would not receive a large enough discount to sell the units at $79 and make any profit, let alone not lose money. In order to receive a large discount the order must be placed in full at once. Most other vendors are charging 100-109 because they are likely ordering by the hundred, which would prob give them the unit for about 75 after shipping costs. Elev8 is selling it for that price because they must have ordered a large a bough quantity to get a discounted rate around 40-50 after shipping.
This is based on experience with ordering products from Chinese vendors and reasonable profit. Anyone who tells you there being punished for discounting the price is lying. Major US manufacturers do makes there vendors stick to MSRP to avoid online shops from creating an unfair marketplace, it does not typically happen with Chinese MFGRs because they are out to sell bulk of everything, there business model is the more you buy, the more significant discount and the cheaper you sell - always!
As for elev8, I spoke with them and they told me they have 6 employees and there phones ring constantly all day, so it's not easy to get throw. They receive over 500 emails or more at any given day( this was as of 4 days ago) and they are doing there best to keep up. They were expecting(most likely promised) more units the. They have received and it is not in there hands. The second they are getting the units they are shipping them and they are hoping the shipments speed up so they can get the units out. I just wanted to give people a little more insight into my view and opinions based on what I have heard from them and my personal experiences with Chinese MFGRS, hoping maybe I can put some people at ease.
They have ordered your units and you will receive them, this is a new item and it's highly sought after, so everyday P4U will be sending more units and more frequently. There most likely dealing with a lot of new vendors so they have to at least ship units to other vendors besides Elev8 to keep a business relationship, but your unit is coming. elev8 did mention P4U is reliable so our units maybe here earlier. I was told 4 days ago my unit would be here in 2 weeks and my order number is #7463. Please keep in mind all these numbers are just to explain how the process works and are in no way accurate.I would just hang in there everyone I am really excited too I'm upgrading from a MVP2!
EDIT: Here is there wholesale page so you can see what I am talking about, if you search any electronics you will see there prices in ranges, or to contact them

First and foremost, 50 Watts isn't a big deal considering the 100 watt is already coming out. The same chip that's in your device is capable of 120 Watts currently. Just an upgrade you can to do with the internet, and a little knowledge
Secondly, i'm not pushing the limit, it has cheap buttons that has nothing stopping it from moving extra. Originally how I found this out wasn't through exploration, it was through simple use.
I'm intentionally abusing mine. I'll buy another if it breaks and warranty doesn't cover it.I tried to get the buttons stuck..not happening.
And the sx330 isn't upgradeable from firmware..

Well. Isn't someone obnoxious.
I'm not sure anyone can make sucha strong assertion as 50W isn't a big deal just because some 100W mods are coming out (but not yet lol).
For all intents and purposes,50W can be reasonably be considered a big deal, be it for Newbs or seasoned vapers.
But hey, everyone's entitled to their opinions.

I think I'm going to get an ipv3 for the dual batteries..if it will be the same casing...
My standard resistance quad builds, and other large amounts of wire, could use 100watts..but ~5.2Ah is more reasonable for capacity for a 50 watt mod.. I'm at 50watts most of the time, but you can potentially watch the battery level drop with each pull with the ipv2.
If you haven't bought this mod yet, I would seriously consider waiting for the IPV2...the clouper t5 looks neat, still single battery, but looks like it'll pretty much be like a tube mod for battery removal...looks like clouper has their own chip for it, very similar to sx350.

Alright folks. Heads up. Go check your bank statements!
Over the course of the past 3 months, there have been multiple $49.95 charges made to my card that I use solely for vape-shopping.
Initial charges were made by a Ieptcs Com, and consists of a $49.95 charge and another $1.50 charge.
Subsequent charges of the same exact amount were made by a Support.com.
I've checked with BoA And there's a rising number of reports about it. Please check and if your account has been compromised, report to the bank and have a new card sent out to you.
That is all

Great post.... my vendor honestly has nothing to lie about as he has shipped all of his pre orders out extremely timely. At this point he is no longer taking anymore pre orders since he has black and silver units in stock ready for purchase and deliver. As he complied with the pricing guidelines everything went smooth with pre orders and with his stock. Plus if you do a google search for the ipv v2 50 watt he has the best seo on google. So to say he did not place a big order is questionable.
You brought up an excellent point which I had no knowledge of since I did not order from elev8. The cuopon code. I find it really odd that the code is on only in the day time, when in china it is night time. And off during the night time when it is day time in china. If elev8 concern is to have the lowest price anywhere, why take the code down. Better yet, if there is no MSRP, why have the MSRP price and offer a coupon code? Why not flat out list it for $79? I mean no big deal right, Since p4y does not have an MSRP?
I dont know.... you may be totally right. I honestly hope I am wrong so everybody gets their mods. I just don't know why the cana mod went the same way with elev8 (yes, i read every page, hundreds and hundreds) and now the ipv v2. Lots of vendors who did pre orders now have them in stock. I also read in this thread that they have not passed order 6200 for a week, that they completely stopped. I dont know. Again, this is just my opinion and some more concerns I have. Take it with a grain of salt!

Do you care to share where you have shopped for your vaping gear so we can compare who may be compromised?
Oh gee. I'll look that up in a bit. But I've easily bought stuff from over 50 diff vendors over the past 6 months.
The thing about these fraudsters is that they're known to collect and hoard credit card information for months before actually charging. As such a charge could've been made on a certain date, but the CC information would likely have been stolen months ago.
In any case I'll update again when I can. And so far 6 other vapers have reported the same. So yeah. Best to check your statements

Elev8 uses a sequential numbering system for ALL orders from their website. If someone's iPV order number was 5500 and anothers was 6000, that doesn't mean there are 500 iPV's between them. There could be 500, there could be none. Those other 500 order numbers could be for something completely different.
Surprising Elev8 admits being totally overwhelmed , sounds like they make it a habit of overburdening themselves . Regarding the prices on the iPV's:
1-50 - $ 58.00
50-100 - $55.00
100 - ? - $52.00
P4U is not charging any vendor anywhere close to $85.00 , the vendors selling for that price are killing it , selling for over that is getting close to outright theft lol.

They haven't been around that long and the IPV has been a hot topic. I wouldn't be surprised if 95 out of every 100 orders was an IPV, also wouldn't be surprised if multiple people didn't order multiple units for friends, girlfriends, wives, present, etc.
True, but they do have 25 other products, including the Hana Clone which is still pretty popular. I'd be shocked if 95% of their orders were for the iPV. I'd be mildly surprised if it were 50% of their orders. Either way, the point was that there's no way to know how many iPV orders they have.
