Initial impression is i like it for what it is. Size being the obvious plus as somebody who prefers a small as possible setup. Screen stays actively lit a little too long for my liking, but that may just be a mental side effect of using the SX Mini's eco mode for so long, and i have nothing else in front of me to compare it to atm.

Not sure i'll really end up caring about losing that sleeve lottery. Feels good in the hand without one. Only use the one on my SX mini because..well..i paid $200 for it. Hate that sleeve too.

at this price point, and the quality of the sleeve im about to say .... it and let it get beat up. it does feel good without one

Mode?
Build/tank?
Resistance reference device?

Mine seem very close - Ohm Reader and IPV mini2
Well this happening with Aeolus and Lethal rda clones with ni200 builds and the reference mods are VS RDNA40 and kangxin mini VF.

It's ok since I have the ability to lock resistance unlike my other mods.

The only bad part is that I can never take full advantage of being able to build down to .05 ohms because of the discrepancy.. I would have to build .07 and the IPV D2 would then read it as .05

Someone else just said that this reading ohms low is common with YiHi chips. Has anyone else encounter this?

Never say never. Until you build one and test it you have no idea if the IPV-D2 will just run with it.

Got mine today rom 101 Vape. I won the sleeve lottery and I like it! I know it's been said before but this thing is TINY! Very stealthy. Threw on a STM and it's reading the Ni200 coil a little low but otherwise working great! I have a motorcycle trip coming up his weekend and this got here just in time...I didn't want to have to take my Vapor Flask and this is perfect.

So I did it.. It did not fire my .06 coil because it read it as .04 and threw the "Low Res" message. Man, I was hoping it would still fire.
I had to do yet another workaround... I slightly heated up the coil with a lighter than locked the resistance. Then and only then it would fire up my coil.

A lot fiddling but once you got it locked in it's no problem.. unless you switch toppers often.. :rolleyes:

I guess I'll be building .07 then

Update, mine does not lock resistance. I did the above to get it to fire but as soon as the coil cools, I fire it and "low res" again I tried over and over same thing happens.

Mine is defnitely locked, so unless you have a defective unit something else is the culprit. Could be that it does lock the resistance, but still monitors for safety limits, and your 17-coil build is outside them. :D

The .6ohm?

it doesnt lock any resistance or just the faked resistance?

Hope so or that one needs to go back.

Thought I liked a .071 build, but it magically changed and I had to relock(some 18 tanks after building) at .101
Still Vapes hthe same at the same 30J / 400F so I'm not freaking over it. My guess is it prefers being .101ohm so who am I to argue.
Oh, that's on my SX mini M

The "faked" resistance. Setting resistance should lock in whatever is on the screen when up & down buttons are pressed. It should no longer try to read the resistance after locked or self adjust.
the coil will always cool down to its resting state eventually - so its probably reading that with the realtime and saying awwwwwwww nooooooooo does not compute.

That's the only thing I can think of. It is a SAFETY feature which constantly reads the resistance to check for shorts.

Anyhow, I still like it but I will contact the vendor and see if I can get one that reads the resistance properly.

Wish you the best.
I have 3 IPV mini's that all read a tiny bit off. With YiHi's success rate, I am beginning to wonder if P4Y has assembly issues causing the slight shift. Maybe Wire type/length used or Solder material, choice of connectors. Just some speculation as it seems to be across the board on certain models of their devices while others using similar based chips are not experiencing this.

I have helped a couple peeps with IPV4's and one LI version that had ohm wandering issues. The problem on all 3 were the 510 ground. I have not seen inside of one of these D2's yet as mine is in the mail. But all the others the ground is handled thru a screw that comes into contact with the body of the 510 with a wire soldered to the head than then leads to the board. The screw barley reaches the 510 and one was completely loose. What I did was solder a tiny blob on the bottom of the screw which allowed it to come into firm contact with the body of the 510. Then made a good solder connection with the return ground wire to the board. That sounds like allot but its really simple. All three of them immediately started giving good ohm readings and stopped wandering. The atty lock feature also became rock solid and function as good as the SXmini s and m class.

Pulled my Orchid off the SX
Ni200 @ .101ohm
Locked on the D2 @ .097
.004 low - maybe

Tank was Room temp, sitting most of the evening. The mod was a bit warm though as I have been running it in VW most of the day trying out a few of my tanks. Nice to:D
Vape in TC is excellent and seems just slightly slower developing than on the SX at the same 30J/400F
I am going to let the D2/Tank sit overnight and try to remember to re-lock in the morning and see if the Base resistance changes any.
Right now, if I let them sit a few minutes a quick trigger gives .11 reading every time.
