try to justify it all u can.
tho only reason u would buy this is cos u cant afford a yihi sx350m or something similar.
the ipv4 is cheaply made and it feels like it
the screen is hard to read.
the charge port isn't recommended to use.
the sleeve is cheap plastic.

I can more than afford to buy an M-Class device. I bought this becuase it was cheap, has the 330 chip (which is already upgradeable to 150w on the IPV3) with TC, and feels far more ergonomic in the hand. If I cared about its being all metal and looking better I would make my own that would blow the Sig out of the water in terms of form and function. But I don't care about how it looks, just how it feels and performs. Different strokes I guess.
 
Left for Deployment...
By the time that I exit the van from airport to hotel , my cloupor mini fell of my pocket and I realized it when the car start and smash it...
Telephone to my Friend -Anjel in Greece (E-Smokers) if he can ship me a new mod for work.
He said: Give me the address of the hotel annd tommorrow morning will be in Suez..
The next day morning my package with my IPV 4 arrived..
The new model with the black screen and to be honest...
I wanted a reliable cheep solution for the time that I will be deployed but... I Love it!
It's better than it look on videos and reliable..

I've had an IPv4 for a few days,
Only got it because I'm in a mod collecting mood,
Grabbed a subox mini and evic vt as well :)
I am liking the IPv4 the most now and I liked the evic vt more than my rdna40 already!!
I taped over the charge hole so juice doesn't leak into it while dripping,
My screen is black not mirrored too.
So far, real good.
Also ordering a sx mini this week :)

It seems more like you're trying to bash something for no reason.
Mine feels solid.
The screen on the new ones have no mirrored finish and is brighter than my Sigelei.
Does anybody use on board charging for 18650's?
The sleeve is plastic, but not a cheap plastic. It's actually very durable.

If you don't like something, fine. There's no need to bash a product to the point of trying to make it's owners feel stupid for buying one.

I've owned some pretty higher end authentics and have to say yeah the iPV4 is kinda cheaply made and I'm debating getting a metal sleeve made somehow (couldn't be THAT hard).... BUT I love the performance of this device. I use a separate charger anyway, so its no big deal having an extra set of batteries in my purse. People ..... about the build quality, but you can tell they put the money into a good chip and its working like a champ. It does its job, that's all I really need right now and to have 100w temp control that works is pretty sweet. I just vape a Kayfun 4 clone (for the flavor and I don't burn through 120ml of juice in a week) so it does what I need it to. So, to all the haters keep your negatude to yourselves. If it lasts a year (and I'll be grabbing another box or two lolol) so what the hell. It'll probably become my everyday vape because I'm not afraid of it getting scratched or f'd up. $67 in a group buy. Hell of a deal...PERIOD

IPV4 owner here. I like the mod and it works well. Very well. I don't use the TC option but as a regulated mod, it's great. I only posted to address some of the other posts, mainly price. It's a good mod for a good price but if you intend on using it for the next 5 years, you'll be missing out on a ton of new stuff. I don't expect mods or tanks to last years so upgrades and replacements will be needed. Right now it's one of the best the market has to offer at an affordable price. I expect by the holidays, new items with improved features will be for sale and the race for the next trend will be on.

I have both the Sigeli 100w and the IPV4 and will be doing a review of the Ipv 4 in a few minutes. Anyway, the IPV is very comfortable to hold, very easy to swap batteries and it has temp control. It reminds me of a dual 18650 version of my Yihi SX Mini M class. The cons to the device though are substantial. It has been know (The Yihi Chip) to short out more than any other chip, and the device has been known to blow up batteries destroying the device and seriously injuring the user. The owner of my local vape shop Str8vapes showed me pictures of one that melted down and it was not pretty. Along with blowing up, he knew someone who left it on the seat in their car, where it burned/melted a hole straight into the bottom of the seat. Aesthetically Id choose the IPV4 but reliability/Safety wise Id buy the Segeli. If its too cheap to be true, generally there is a reason for the price.

Actually the IPV4 is one great device, i have been using it myself. Not only is it using 100w but it also uses a temp control feature if your using a tank that has "nickel coils"

My suggestion is to look around cause there is also a device called a "SNOW WOLF 200w" that has been very popular this past few weeks.

I'm about to pull the trigger on the Snow Wolf 200W myself. IMO it's a much better device than the IPV4. It's FAR more easy to use, no menus at all. Put your atomizer on top and it asks "New Atomizer?". Press the Up button for yes and it autodetects the coil and places the device in either temperature control or wattage mode depending on the coil. Then you press either up or down to set your temperature or watts depending on what mode it's in, and that's it. Temperature Control can be set to either Fahrenheit or Celsius, no strange Joules stuff. It fires up to 70W in temperature control mode compared to the IPV4's 50W limit, and pulse fires when set above 150W in wattage mode. Testing by reviewers have shown that the temperature control is more accurate than the IPV4.

It's noticeably smaller than the IPV4. 8mm shorter, 6mm narrower, and 1mm thinner.


BUT....

It's twice the price of the IPV4, and price is a big selling factor for the IPV4.
