Finally got my IPV mini. I'm on the fence so far. Still learning my way around it, but so far my immediate impressions lean toward liking my ZNA 50 more.
Can you elaborate? I love my zna30, but really want an ipv mini.
I wish I could see the jwrAp on the mini- though I guess their will be pics posted soon rnough
liking mine pretty much, considering i have 6 regulated box mods and one dual mec box on the way.....the small form factor of the mini is nice and i like the feel in my hand and it's working great so far.....the only thing that bugs me is the blk is not blk it's more of a gun-metal grey.....i ordered a blk w6+ for mine and it don't look rite.
gonna experiment with some diff builds.....so far i really like mine, now to look for another atty that will match.
edit: tried a few diff builds and the one i'm really liking so far 28ga kanthal single 1.7 coil at 18.5 watts DC Mode on my Zenith, mighty fine Vape

I got mine yesterday and so far it's been pretty solid. It functions as described and the presets are nice. I've got one thing that appears to be a glitch, sometimes the screen will dim but not go to sleep entirely. I've left it alone to see what would happen when this occurs and the damn thing just won't go to sleep. It does eat up some battery life but barely and it's very random when it happens.
The 510 seems solid but only long term vaping and swapping toppers will show how this plays out. The istick 510 is pretty bad so other than the random sleeping issue so far it is better that the isticks I picked up a month ago.

I would also like to hear more. I am thinking of getting either an IPV or a ZNA 50 -- would love to get your feedback on what you like/dislike about each.
I had to do the 5 click thing twice to turn it on. My ZNA 50 is def heavier and feels more substantial. Whatever pwm or rms the IPV Mini is doing, the ZNA 50 seems to do it better for both my nautilus mini tank with Cosmic Fog Nutz, and my Infinite Hobo clone with same juice (50/50 6mg).
Finally turned on the IPV Mini, and tried the usual combinations for changing mode etc. yes, I know, reading instructions yada. I was trying to figure out how intuitive it is in the intrerest of recommending it to new Vapers. It started firing the atty and wouldn't stop until I turned it off. Not good.
Turned it on and scrolled through the memory until I reached the closest to my usual vape on the hobo (28 AWG 9 wraps dual parallel .9 ohms) which is 16.5 watts, and it tasted not burnt but more like over cooked.
I'm still playing with it to find a good vape on it, but the fact that it's taking this long is not a good sign.
ETA: Also, the Hobo WILL NOT sit flush on the Mini. It's also reading the Nautilus BVC 1.5 ohm coils at 1.9.

Everything is sitting flush on mine but the magma clone, the authentic sits flush. Trailz, the floating pin is one of the tightest I've seen out of the box.
I'm not having any issues with mine not performing the same as other PV's. I have moved tanks from my Sigelei 20W to the Mini and it's produces the same vapor and flavor. I will most likely pick up another but give it a bit since we are probably having some of the first run blues.
When I changed tanks it did not pick up on the new coil. As soon as I hit the fire button the resistance/voltage changed instantly. Apparently it doesn't scan the coil until the fire button is pressed. I did vape in PWM mode and immediately went back to DC DC mode. Enough of the iStick experience.
I don't see issues with wattage, vapes the same as my 2S. Overall, thus far, I'm happy with it.

Hoping you have just rushed to judgment or maybe are not comfortable switching to a Mod with different functions quite yet. I would recommend spending a little time getting used to it.
I also recommend All people read Directions thoroughly on any Regulated Mod before using. We can all learn form those that build the devices.
As to Miss-reading Ohms - I would be concerned. I would also recommend further testing, perhaps against a known good multimeter.
If there is a continued variance, contact your Vender as the unit is likely defective.(it happens)
**Auto Firing** - Fiddling first possible lead to putting into Power Bank Mode - Continuous output to charge another device.(in the instructions
)For performance comparisons make sure you are in DC-DC mode it is incredibly smooth and powerful.
5 Clicks not registering is not uncommon. Many Many mods do this and simple need to be woken up first to take a command.(respond)
Almost all respond to a single click with a very short delay and then 5 clicks. Give it a try on the next cold start up.
I ordered and am testing 2 of the Black IPV Minis.
So far the biggest problem I have had is getting them out of my hand.
Performance is outstanding and they handle anything to .5ohm flawlessly so far.
Ohms readings have been spot on to my ohm reader and commercial quality multimeter.
Even the low power warning works perfect. Could not get one to fire this morning, but finally looked at the screen.
Swapped batteries and back in business.
Would I recommend this for a New vaper - NO
Not this or any other higher end device. NEW Vapers do not need to jump into the Deep end of the pool. Let them work their way in with confidence. There is plenty of decent gear available that is simpler and will provide solid support.

Finally got mine today Does anyone know since the 510 pin is slotted, can it be adjusted up or down? I know its spring loaded but I have an N22 that has a long 510 and leaves a gap.
P.s. like someone else said this thing hits smooth & hard.. That's comparing from a Hana/Cana clone.
