That $20 you saved should easily cover the cost of a nice carbon fiber wrap! Better get that ordered too and wait for two vape mails! Double your fun!

Quit tempting me, dang it you guys.
I was shopping the wraps last night in fact. The carbon fiber wrap is nice, but pretty much all the others do nothing for me. Mostly lots of rebel flags, skulls, and flower patterns.. and of course the obligatory N64 game control style wrap.
From what I hear the black ipv Mini 2 isn't too slippery anyhow compared to the silver, so unless I found a wrap that was awesomely creative and cool looking then I probably won't bother wrapping the mod.

There are now silicone cases in various colors available for the IPV Mini. I bought one a week or so ago. Ebay has them for about $9.
Hey, that's nice. A little protection against hard falls.
I like the sleeve that came with my Sigelei 100 Plus and never leave home without it.
Good idea for the IPV too.
Thanks for the info, ego.

Wruff, the reason the wraps are so popular for the ipv minis isn't for looks or grip or giggles. The paint on them is horrendous. It starts to chip and peel as soon as you look at it.
Do a search of this forum and you'll see plenty of threads explaining why it's not good to do so.

Mind pointing to just one reliable thread explaining why it's not good to do so by someone who knows what they are talking about?
Gee thanks!
How many people have toasted high output Regulated mods attempting to Vape on passthru? How many times is failure required before people get the point.
.5ohm @3.7v = 27.28 watts @7.40 Amps
Most USB charge ports only handle 1 amp or LESS input - Not the wall wart, the USB port.
Heart paralysis occurs at 4 amps, which means the heart does not pump at all. Mods have Fail points also. Charge port being the weak link.
But as you have said, that 7.4 amps are drawn from the battery, not the wall wart or the USB port.
Re-quoting you, "As long as you know the battery is not depleted you should be able to safely Vape."
We are not talking about a true pass-through, we are talking about vaping while charging.
Or am I misunderstanding your statment, crxess?

Maybe I misunderstood your first post on the this.
The problem comes into play when the Consumer is clueless to the Risk due to poor documentation. Unfortunately this is becoming a trend. Inexperienced Vapors jumping on the High Power Mod wagon and not knowing much/anything about the risk.
Those with a little experience know not to over tax a circuit.
No different than plugging a welder into a 20a circuit. Weld at 110 in short runs and get away with it. Set to 185 and Pop the breaker.
No breakers in these.
Sadly Regulated mods have little input protection and even less on the charge side.
Many newer Vamos have been damaged due to NOT supporting Stacked 18350's and no documentation stating the change from original design.
Hmmm….I have a derringer, I mostly bought it for testing DIY juice but have been impressed at the flavor I get from it. I think it looks dorky {MODERATED} on my IPV mini…but the taste is fantastic. This piece of information ups the convenience factor enough that I might have to go poking around in my old man's box o gun stuff…
Also, thirded that I would buy a billet cap.

So I'm onto 34 hours of chain vaping, a good 33 I'd say are on the charger. Device still works, imagine that. I dont think low-wattage vaping, using the charger to maintain an already full battery, will cause any problems.
The usb charger isnt pulling the same amperage as I'm vaping it. Maybe it could if I hooked it up to an unregulated 5v source, but since my power source will only ever put out 1.5A, that's all it will charge at. The battery works as a shock absorber to the system, discharging on demand, and charging at a steady 1.5A. Maybe if I'm feeling bored at home, I'll see if it's even pulling a full 1.5A, or just 0.5A, or somewhere in between.
I looked through the materials that came with mine, and found nothing advising against vaping while charging.
I will say this, I would not advise charging and vaping at high wattage or with a significantly depleted battery. The mod gets warm when running at 50w repeatedly. It also gets warm when charging an 18650 at 4.0v. Making both things happen at the same time could overheat the chip, causing failure.
You may reserve the right to "I told you so" if it does fail over the next couple weeks, but I wouldnt hold my breath.

That isn't how it works, its still only charging at .5A, regardless of the wall wart you use.
The materials included are for a completely different mod powered by a different board.
Silver mini 2 scratches and shows wear just as quick. Your best bet is to pick up a wrap. I have a black carbon fiber wrap from Vaporskinz.com. It looks pretty good and protects it from wear...
Thanks for the info. I ordered the same carbon wrap and am very happy with it.
Has anyone confirmed the 0.5A charge regulation from the chip's end? Not challenging it, but it's good to know for sure the number we're working with.
As far as the materials, they say it's for the IPV Mini 2, 70w, which is what I'm assuming I have. Are there two different boards for the 70w?
My guess would be closer to the 2.1v USB 2.0 standard than .5v, but again - a guess. Good luck even getting P4Y to even understand the question.
No clue what Different materials someone is referring to. Only one chip for the mini 2 70w.
My USB Volt/Amp detector thingy shows 0.88A (and 4.93v) using a standard 5v wall plug and the same when plugged into my computer.
