It's crazy to me how quickly I'm feeling the need for more watts. .5 ohm build in my rda at 30 watts is not enough. Plus the battery life sucks at that wattage. Good thing my kayfun still is great on the Mini.

I need an ipv4 now.

Yep, dual 18650s are much better for higher wattage vaping all day. At least with the mini its toolless, and relatively quick/easy to change out the battery. My 2X is a bit of a pain to swap out on the go with the two screws holding on the backplate.

    So far not that impressed with Elev8vape, ordered my IPV mini from them, they created a shipping label Friday morning, but still no movement, so guess they printed the label and threw it to one side, and of course they are in NY, so could be in for a long wait for my IPV, I also had a order from vaportek that they also printed a shipping label on Friday morning, and I already have that order in my hand.

    There is a seller an Ebay seller that has the mini at a great price: $44.95 with free shipping. Ebay has changed a lot, it and paypal guarantee your purchase, and sellers there care a lot for their reputation. Usually you get what you buy very quick, they ship ultra fast. i got mine from ebay and it has worked like a charm, no issues with it at all.

    Hate to say it but NY is completely shut down cause of the blizzard. Even the subways aren't running! If it hasn't left by now it won't for awhile.

    Doesn't change the FACT that the USPS is still terrible! I have ordered many items from eBay and paid with PayPal, but the postal service is still a huge failing prime example of failing government run organization. Just sayin. Rant off

    I hear you! I bought the sigelei Plus less than a month ago and now the 150W costs almost the same.

    No regrets though on the Sigelei Plus or the IPV Mini.

    I'm having a HUGE problem with my Mini. It was working fine till last night, but this morning I awoke to the sound of my Kayfun sizzling and popping on top of the Mini. For some reason, even with the Mini turned off it keeps firing. If I turn it on it still keeps firing. The screen and buttons all work normally, although if I press the fire button while it's firing it just says "CHECK ATOMIZER" while continually firing so I feel like there might be a short in it somewhere.

    I guess I have to send it in for a replacement now...

    these Chinese mods are becoming a big concern .... the cloupor mini melting and potentially catching fire. and now the IPV mini... mines been fine but a guy almost can't trust these things to be left alone nowa days. scary!

    Thank the good Lord that the Chinese don't make Artificial Heart Valves or Heart Pacemakers ... I think I would not be able to sleep at night knowing I had a Chinese made Heart Pacemaker implanted in my chest!

    It's not, and even if it was it wouldn't explain why it fires while the entire thing is off. Taking the battery out and putting it back in didn't do anything either. I could open it up but it's only a few weeks old so I'm going to send it in and then if I get a new one back I'll just sell it since I just ordered a REO.

    Have you tried with other atomizers/tanks? Your Kayfun could be the problem.

    The only time I have seen the "CHECK ATOMIZER" is when I had either a short or no contact on a rebuilt or rewicked coil. I'd swap out your coil first before sending the mod out.

    But, if the IPV minis were USA made, they would cost like $300, vs. under $50 for these China mods.

    I haven't had any issue so far with China made stuff. And I am glad because at least I can have items that otherwise I only could dream of.

    I don't know anything about the Cloupor Mini and I would like to know how many have caught fire, sometimes an isolated incident creates panic. Some people have issues with the IPV Mini, I am sure most haven't had any and are happy with it.
