iPV Mini?

[inswva]

Can someone be so kind as to either point me towards instructions online or take a pic of their instructions for this? I just started using mine and have left for a few weeks. I'm trying to figure out how to change modes. I know how to get it into power bank mode, on and off and memory/voltage adjustment but that's all. I wish I would have brought the box with me.

Not the entire thing but all the functions explained:

This is perfect. Just what I needed. Thank you! [emoji106]

got my ipv mini from ele8vape this morn and, the 510 was crooked but, I managed to get it straight sofar it's seems like a decent little device ohm reading is a bit whacked but that's ok, not that big of a deal to me. it has a spring loaded 510 and it fires straight from sleep. that's 2 things that are a must

I had the idea that the chipset in the ipv Mini would be able to both change output voltage below and above battery voltage (based on the ohm coil you were using along with the selected watts you desired).

But I was wrong ... The iPV Mini can in-fact boost output voltage above battery voltage, but it cannot decrease output voltage below the batteries current voltage:

Using a digital Fluke multimeter, and an authentic Kayfun Lite Plus with a 1.3 ohm single coil, this is the voltage that was shown at the coil screws at various watt settings

BTW .... The battery at the time of this test was indicating 3.8v

Thats called buck or stepdown circuitry and right now the only boards that have it are the sx350 and evolv dna40. This is the norm for the majority of products out there.

MVP2 (MVP20w too?) and SVD also have buck as well as a few others but it's not very common.

so i guess at voltages below the battery charge it uses PWM to average out

SHouldn't be like this reading chip features

Don't believe everything you read, especially from a chinese company.

 

[Patcrack]

I know but without multimeter, just vaping now with IPV mini
3.3V/2.2 ohm/5W: I notice quite low power
4.2V/2.2 ohm/8W: I notice quite higher power

And what about vamo (From v1 to the last one)?, Sorry but....

Don't forget the provari. Also, every ego twist

How did you straighten your 510. Mine is just slightly off and also my Nautilus won't sit flush. Wondering what I can adjust to try and correct?

Getting to be a real one line wonder.
I read your one liners and wonder - WHY?

So is the MVP................China that is

Fixed this for you:

Really? politics?

Did you have the Atomizer attached and the Fluke in line?

You cannot get regulation if the unit sees no correct load.
Learned this the hard way with kick modules.

Yes, there was a load when checked.

When I did that voltage test with the multimeter, the various voltages were read with an attached 1.3 ohm coil and the multimeter probes contacting the two coil attachment screws.

Coil was obviously burning hot at the time.

No. PWM has nothing to do with that. At voltages requested below the batteries voltage it simply dumps whatever the current battery has ie. 3.7

 

[Flt Simulation]

You know ... I am no electrical engineer, but I am thinking it would be easier for these chipset companies to design a chip that could lower output voltage below the batteries voltage more than increasing output voltage to something way higher than battery voltage.

But, why they can't design these chips to lower voltage too is beyond me.

oh well ...

Got my IPV mini today. While it is not as mini as the iStick, I really like it. Feels great in hand. Got mine from elev8 Black, also received my wrap from JWrap. Planning on keeping it naked for a bit.

Looked it over closely and cannot find anything to complain about as far as QC goes. I do have about a 1mm gap from the mod and my R91, however it feels solid and in place unlike other devices that I've used. I had a Hana DNA30 that I could screw the R91 all the way down on, but I messed up the 510, (currently rebuilding with a VT 510.

Both of my iSticks are having issues with the 510 threading and those will be rebuilt with a FDV 510 and poly top that I got from another ECF member. Once the poly top and FDV 510 go on my iStick will be nearly as tall as the IPV mini.

 

[Flt Simulation]

Screw in that brass center pin on your iPV Mini's 510 connector a little, and then you should be able to illuminate that 1mm gap you have between the Mini and your atomizer.

So my tracking finally updated. Gotta love USPS website... In New York.... Won't get here till Friday(supposedly lol)
