You misunderstand what I'm saying. If punters receive their device without the sleeve, then FT will ship them out for free as an after-market item. I've been buying weekly off FT for the last 2 years so I have a pretty good idea how they respond. If it's in the advertised pictures, then people will claim they've been mislead if they are not included. I'm not worried in the least about losing this bet.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Likewise

If their pictures show a sleeve you can bet, dollars to doughnuts, a sleeve will be included.
No misunderstanding
:)
And I know full well they would/will follow through with corrective measures.

If I can trouble you with a question. How does the paint job look to you? I was just reading that people are, disappointingly, saying it's the same paint as the IPV mini. Mine (IPV Mini) has completed stripped off! :(

I like the look and after accidentally dropping it already(on my loaded power strip) I'm less worried than after reading comments. However the Paint Feels exactly like the Paint on the IPV-mini2 which is the one that suffers total peal failure.

*This could have been paint choice OR pre-paint preparation of the metal so only time will answer concerns.
Is the paint different?
Is the Prep better?
Is the sleeve going to be a cover up?
:blink:

Hey, with a new mod, you can now gut the mini and prep it properly for a re-paint in any color you desire.
This could turn out to be a Plus and a unique one off.:thumbs:

Anyone get one from IPV D2 Box Mod 75W ? and did it have a sleeve with it? They say they are extra I did not get one but did get a HE4 to try in it. I got mine for 47.95 and they quickly sent me a tracking number within a hour of purchase. I looked back and they had changed the price to 57.95 I just made the sale I guess. Anyway sleeve or not I think its gonna be nice.

I think he's making the point that this situation is a lot different then your usual FT screw up, in that it's completely on IPV's end. These are factory sealed items. The ones likely produced before a certain date simply don't have them, and there probably isn't any aftermarket sleeves laying around FT's warehouse to ship out atm.

While you keep stressing the forum troll factor, that is also left understating just how much of a pita going through an actual full refund there really is. Over a sleeve. I'd take that bet too in the immediate short term. If anything i'd expect them to just update the picture.

Knowing the might be in the box/might not sleeve situation you'd think the sellers would just advertise it accordingly and just say you may or may not get one, I don't think that'll make or break a potential sale and it would definitely save them lots of time dealing with it post sale...the continued talk about these stupid sleeves is getting old and I'm guilty contributor...now done.

Fair enough! You make some valid points.

Been looking at diving into TC for a bit now. debated the sigelei 75w and this. Pulled the trigger on one of these. Already got a STM, and have a lemo 2, some 28g ni200, cotton bacon(figured I'd give it a try), and some LG HG2's on the way.
Im aware of the lack of step down and the workaround, cool.

I've read quite a bit of this thread, and most seem fairly pleased with it. Is there anything I should be on the lookout for?

I've heard, hell, the guy I got it from sold it because its too small. But I like small mods, provari mini with nano kayfuns, and my subox mini.

But hows the build quality, its plastic right? does it feel cheap?
definitely not plastic. its heavy and well made - i am assuming steel?

What's the verdict? Anyone wish they got a Sigelei 75 instead or thrilled they got the D2? Anything blow up yet?

My finger is almost ready to buy another mod today.......
I really like it, been using it for 5 day and I'll think I'll get another one for the wife.

Very slight paint issues with mine about a week in, a few exposed areas around the bottom edge for obvious reasons...something I expected would happen and no biggie for me. I ordered one of the $3 carbon fiber wraps from wake and vape, this wrap covers the battery sleeve only, I bought it for aesthetic reasons not as a protective measure.

If you're extremely .... about the condition of your devices and don't receive a sleeve I'd leave it in the box until you get one, it's a pretty fragile finish.
