No, What?
I never said the D2 had the J chip. :facepalm:
I am fully aware of the chipsets in Both my mods and fully aware of their performance similarities and differences.
I own the SX mini M Class and the ipv-D2

* I Said the D2 chip is Different from the IPV3/4 Designs and it is.:cool:
ipv-D2 Vapes very much like the SX mini M Class set to Standard curve

Then you should know the difference of step down, of the two, one has it one does not ...............

So if I set it at 7 watts it's going to fire at 30 watts? I am trying to figure this one out, it just doesn't make sense to me. I guess I don't know as much as I thought I did.
What is it firing at if I have it set to 40 watts in power mode?

Try setting it in Joules (TC) mode 430 deg ............

Simple - No Buck circuit to CUT back power(in VW Mode). Only Boost for Higher output(IN VW Mode).
Kanthal Builds Will Work at Lower Wattage(joules) when set to TC mode and Temp Maxed.
Kanthal will NOT Temp Regulate. No Mod so far has proven Kanthal Temperature Regulation(that I have been able to confirm working)

Quite - as you would have seen, reading my First post.
I was one of the First testers to Verify Kanthal Will Buck in TC mode - Without TC regulation - Due to Lack of Buck circuitry in Vw Mode.

*Why do people purchase High wattage devices to tootlepuff? o_O

I have had and am currently using a D2 - TC/Ti mode and it is a Fantastic performing Mod. I have just ordered a second D2 due to Quality and price drop.
For me, the slight feature change to the D3 is not worth the difference.

Huge "help" for the OP ......................

I wanted to say thank you for all of the replies.
I am obviously a new vaper and I have a lot to learn with these mods. I don't know what bucking and step down means so I will be looking it up.
I just figured if I set it at low wattage on a low ohm coil then it wouldn't fire. I see it as 7watts meaning 7 watts to the coil but I guess I am wrong.
I will be searching these forums to learn all of this.

Again thanks for the replies

Basically all it comes down to is that coil resistance will determine the minimum wattage the mod is able to deliver. Higher resistance coils will allow a lower minimum wattage. The mod can't deliver wattage lower than a coil of a particular resistance would draw in a purely DC circuit (without using crxess' TC workaround). It's a decent, stealthy little mod. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I am really enjoying this mod. I like it better than my xcube 2, mainly due to the size.

Ops, needed info was posted, I concurred. Then made My personal comment(allowed)
I followed up with further post to Clarify information op was still concerned with.

Guess you are in a Crop to suite mood tonight. No further discussion needed.

IPV D2 announced.

No problem @sparkky1
Main goal is to inform the Op to address concerns.

*oh, should you need for future reference:
D2 uses a SX130H proprietary chip Designed for IPV exclusively.
The updated D3 does incorporate Step-down in VW, but still offers only Ni/Ti - My reason for passing, no SS.

I do not mind the lack of Upgrade capability in a cheap mod, however it keeps me from purchasing every version(like early DNA chips)

Next up, a little experimenting with a Single Ti built Stumpy on a D2 :D

Hmmm i have had a problem with ipv's when you hit the fire button the resistance jumps see if its doing that... if it does you got a bad connection somewhere or the center screw is not making a solid connection... granted that was with an ipv2 and an ipv 4s... havnt used the ipv d2 i sometimes would have to essentially crank in the tank to get a good enough connection. Hope that helps
Hi,
I had the same issue plus sometimes it was giving my the "Check Atomizer" message, I tried with "jbnuke" advise it fixed only the "Check Atomizer" thing, only for an hour or so, but still it fires high and gives high resistance reading, +0.2 and sometimes +0.5 over the reading I get on other mods. Though after I tightened the copper screw of the 510 thread it is working fine, with a 0.25 ohm on 19w it runs 2.3v like other mods.
Just try to tighten the positive copper screw gently not to break the spring until it doesn't go further.

Ummm.........that slot is for air(Think Cartomizer), Bottom flow tanks etc.
It is not a screw and the bottom is Soldered to a Wire that is soldered to the main board. Yes, twisting it will tighten it, while rolling the wire - until something breaks.
Bad Idea.
Cloupor mini uses a Removable center screw for height adjustment, but IPV is spring loaded.

Know before doing, to avoid damage.

I appreciate the info however I struggled a week trying every single idea I found about the issue, and this was the only thing that worked. It was anyway useless before I tried this so it wasn't going to make much difference if the wire broke.
However I agree with you if there is another alternative like a warranty.

My concern is Broken wire. Possible Dead short internally to mod, causing violent battery failure.
Possibly better to remove covering and examine connections if unable to have serviced.

You are probably right. Mine is still working fine, but I guess the screw might be moving up a bit each time I remove the tank, so if it got back to the same problem I will video it as they require and communicate a return. Hopefully I would pay much for shipping back as Gearbest does not pay for return shipping.

Thank you for the advice I didn't know about the battery failure possibility.
