IPV D2 announced.

[VapingTurtle]

It's Vyth... vaping Myth.

People make up the darnedest things.


Did you know that you can use silk instead of kanthal, Ti, SS, or Ni for coils? It is really good flavor and really long life.

(I just made that up, but you'll see it in some other thread as an "I heard that..." really soon now. People will be asking who has the best price on resistance silk and what is the TCR of Silk 44 vs. Silk 66.)

Cannot get enough resistivity points to properly calculate the TCR for that.....what's happening? Who dared to ruin my spreadsheet?

(Spiders and silk worms are genuinely worried....... someone literate enough in PR techniques to assure them about this?)

 

[VapingTurtle]

How many wraps should my coil have? I'm using Silk 69.

Anyone experience this rusty on battery slot? How do we remedy it. Or is safe to ignore.

That happened unusually quickly to my black one (within a couple of weeks but only on the spring portion so far)...it was an early production unit since it was a pre-order. My newer silver one (which I've had for over a month) shows no signs of corrosion whatsoever, so it seems the newer units have improved hardware for the battery terminals. Maybe sand it down then carefully use some sort of rust inhibitor spray to prevent any further corrosion(?).

Far too often do I see people mentioning "I heard this and I heard that" and use that phrase carelessly without realizing what they're actually repeating/saying - regardless if it's true or not. It's a phenomenon which often creates confusion for others who might interpret it as "gospel." What difference would it make if it was a prebuilt coil or not?...resistance is resistance, and noobs will be noobs - although we're all noobs in one way or another.

I am not a noob and there is a BIG difference. Someone building their own coil... Lots of variability as they are tightening down a coil and that can loosen over time. Not the same with pre built coils. Think before you respond.

If i ignored is ok right? Will it cause to explode or ? 510 connector seems to have rusty too. Sad

The washer behind the screw has some rusty-ish looks, but it's its natural appearance. It's a phenolic resin washer.

On your negative contact, I'm not sure what could it be. E-liquid? (Dried, I mean) Rust? Some venting from the battery, slightly overstressed?

But batteries usually vent by their positive ends...

Anyway, clean it off and watch it... It's just common sense!

Tapatalking...Mind those lampposts!

How do i clean it off. Can the spring be remove or?

 

[scaredmice]

I was thinking about a Q-tip moistened with alcohol, ethanol, isopropanol, something like that.

The spring seems hard-anchored to the mod body, I don't know exactly how...[emoji53]

I really don't like to sound like a broken record but it seems I must...resistance is resistance...nothing more, nothing less - regardless of whatever "variables" come into play. My reply was primarily based on your comment about whether or not you should lock your resistance, but you've already been schooled by others' comments so I won't rub it in.

However, what you're saying now is that pre-built coils don't have variables. For example, do you believe the rubber/silicone gasket (which is used to hold the coil in place) exposes no "variability?" Did you know those gaskets can soften, melt, become loose too, and fail over time (primarily due to heat) which would ultimately cause a short? Are you aware pre-built coils have been known to be dead-on-arrival?...why?...because someone built those too. The exposure to variables of a pre-built coil is no different than a coil made by an end user...it's just a coil that came from the factory which "you" didn't build but that doesn't change the fact that someone built it and is also prone to variables.

One thing you're right about is that I do indeed need to "think before I respond" to such a post because there is really no sense in me getting into an endless squabble with someone who believes locking in your resistance is unimportant. My bad.

 

[cjpeltz]

My ask was whether someone had direct experience with D2 and pre-built coils. And could speak to experiences with turning it on or off. This was based on a comment PBsuardo made in a video and while you may not agree with him or care for him he comes across to me as more knowledgeable than 99% of people on these threads. I am not opposed to turning it on but wanted real world experiences which you haven't been able to provide. And I never said it was unimportant.

Again an example where you aren't thinking before you post. Your comments will be much more appreciated if you consider first what is being asked and do not rip into others in a manner that sets them down these useless threads. But feel free to keep trolling...

It's pretty simple with the D2 (or any Yihi powered temp control device). If you hold down the up/down buttons and see a resistance displayed, that is now the locked resistance, forever and ever, until you manually lock in a new resistance. So sticking a different coil on top, no matter if it's home-rolled or pre-built, you need to be pretty damn sure the new coil is very close to the same resistance as the old coil if you expect the proper functionality. Or, you know, just lock in the new resistance.

Trying it yourself is the best "real world experience." If you've tried it and don't mind the fluctuating vape experience then that's your personal preference, but if you haven't tried it then maybe you should. After a page or two of related responses (both humorous and serious), I hope and believe your questions have been answered.

Two strands, and they should face opposite ends...

I agree to set resistance by pushing the two little buttons to lock it in ...I've had my D2 for a couple months now and love it..shown with the Maganus tank with the .5 coil.. Vapes great at 45w or so

I assume you are talking about TC in the first part and VW in the second. There is no way to lock the resistance in Power Mode...

I've been locking in resistance in power mode too..seems to be working OK..resistance doesn't fluctuate, and that's all I'm really concerned about..

[scaredmice]

Yes, in Power Mode you can read the resistance with three decimal places, whether it is debatable that means you are locking it too. May be, it's not a bad idea for some atomizers. Anyway, this converts the IPV D2 in the best, by far, resistance meter .... and you can vape on it too........

 

[52anddone]

TC build on the STmini was surprisingly easy...28g Ni200, 6 3mm coils and I'm good to go, no shorts or 'check atomizer' issues, even with coils that are slightly touching.

Unless I have been re-re-reading this the wrong way, can you post a pic of those 6 3mm coils in your SubTank mini ? I can't visualize that.
