on the mike vapes issue, if the base R wasnt locking it would let loose all flavours of merry hell on a TC device. The think just shows the actual resistance during the vape. A lot of the chiNA40 chips do this. Its a feature not a bug!! I actually like MV but he and a lot of the other reviewers really screw up a lot with these TC devices in spite of the number of them that they get to play with!

This is absolutely true. If the resistance wasn't locked, the device would fry the hell out of the coil. Think about it. If starting resistance is 0.20 and the device knows that its desired temperature will be reached at 0.35 (and lock that resistance), next time it fires, it would try to reach 0.50, then 0.65, then 0.80 etc. It would keep doing this until it reaches its wattage max. You would definitely notice the coil running at 700 degrees F instead of 450. But in Mike's case, it keeps reaching the same top resistance (meaning cold resistance is locked).

I agree that the changing resistance being displayed is probably a new intended feature. It would help you determine if there are any problems with your build (inconsistent ohms while firing etc). It's actually similar to the Evic VT which shows you the running temp. The D2 instead shows you the running ohms, which is probably even better.

agreed!

what is really silly with the MV thing is that he should have known there is nothing worng by the fcat that the thing didnt just melt in his hand and he was getting a good vape. Like many of the other reviewres, and to quote Richard Feynman, his knowledge is fragile, in that he knows how to make a sx mini work but doesnt grasp HOW it works and therefore cannot apply that knowledge to something slightly different. Frustrating! Still like his reviews though - now let's hit this sh|t!!

edit: ha! the censor doesnt understand the pipe | !!!!

Im with you other than the part about liking MV to that I just can not abide. What insightful info does he provide? All I see is him getting free stuff, setting up a camera, reading the online specs and vaping. Then again I forgot my own name earlier I think something got into the juice.

Ya, went back and posted a few corrections under his review. Hopefully a few viewers will take time to read. Sorry, but it is poor understanding and assumptions like his that start mis-information, diminishes sales and damages a products reputation:facepalm:

Cloupor mini was a prime example with everyone from inexperienced users to Top Reviewers demanding Full Recall.
Yes, there was a small number of defective Chips received in a single Batch build that got out and eventually went up in smoke. No, there really is not enough internal flammable material to create a real fire.(Opening the Cover introduced increased oxygen)
Several Hundred Thousand units were unaffected.

I was one of the first 100 pre-orders with the vendor I went with for my IPV D2 and I still dont have it now, they're saying next week. They have really been slacking on responding to my correspondence too. Its not like I'm being unreasonable. I ordered 7/10 sent one message about how the coupon code was giving me a hard time, they responded, asked when shipping was expected, 3 days later asked why I wasn't getting a response, yesterday I sent an "all caps" message asking what was up and now they said next week. I know some of this is IPV but I have other info proving its not all IPV and that I should have my order within the next day or so if not yesterday. If I dont get some satisfaction soon Im going to be on every corner of the internet detailing specifically why this vendor should be avoided. This preorder is turning me into a paranoid schizo...wait is that something a paranoid schizo would say?lol

Why are you sending them so many messages? Why not quietly patient like the other guy said. You're probably that annoying person that chews out a cashier when their coupon doesn't scan or a waitress not checking on you often enough. It's not the vendors fault the manufacturer hasn't shipped them

Anyone that's been vaping for more than a minute knows how this industry works, place your order then pick up the device sitting on the desk right in front of you, have a nice vape and forget about it...you'll drive yourself nuts trying to get an answer...they probably haven't shipped yet because they're time is taken up responding to all the where's my mod questions.

I have to vent about waiting now. The 510 threads in my ipv4 are a little stripped, still working but barely. Waiting on a new 510 to come for it because apparently warranty doesn't cover it even though the threads look fine and aren't cross threaded just worn down. Still waiting on my d2 preorder, sold my sigelei 75w that hasn't even shipped to my friend yet, and still waiting on my istick 40 preorder. I just wish 101vape would post an updated 2 days after the last update indicated they should be shipped from china. Sat patiently until my only mod started having more problems.

China's on drug dealer time.

I am super excited that these may arrive some time this week! This was my first pre order, the wait was killing me! This will be my first temp control device, my first regulated device in over a year. What tank should I consider? I think I would like something that has pre built coils but also the option of a rebuildable deck. Does anyone have a good suggestion for me? Thanks in advance!

Depends what type of vaper you are.

Start by doing some research, here's a good place to begin Choosing a rebuildable tank (RTA) from the MANY choices? | .................. Forums - An Ecig and Vaping Forum
and
Help choosing an RTA that doesn't suck. | E-Cigarette Forum

I've been using a subtank mini(version 1.xx not the new aqueous coated ones) for a few months, had to do work on it for the rba to be adequate. Enlarged both the liquid feed and air intake for a proper lung inhale. The premade coils work well, and the new vertical ones are even better as is the new rba section.

Well, when my Zero clone set on fire, it was a fire. Flames were coming out :eek: I did get the battery pulled on the way to the door. I'm not sure if that stopped the fire or my throwing it into several feet of snow did.

Yep, I have seen a few Real Torched Mods. The Cloupors issue and actual internal Design just didn't facilitate a proper Fuel source. Yes there is a small plastic cover over the main board, but it rest directly against the closed cover and Plastic melts long before igniting. None of the Batteries were damaged from my Pic examinations, so no extreme current drain.
I will agree the few that failed had moderate to extreme meltdown conditions internally. None of the cases showed any external damage.

Samasa,
Your to new at this to be going all Axe murder on a vendor. Relax and give it time. As others have already commented, this is nothing new with P4Y and their IPV releases.
Delays are common.
Join in or don't buy.
