I know it's old news by now, LoL anything more than a Month Old is Vintage in the Vape World nowadays.. But I just wanted to know if anyone has/had one of these First ipv 35 Watt Boxes from the middle of last year, It's hard to find much Info/reviews on them as the iPV 2 came out at just about the same time. I saw a deal posted on vaping Cheap Saturday Night for a Silver iPV 35w Box for $35.91 Shipped, I grabbed one up hoping itd be worth it, and they were sold out by the next morning. I see they were like $80-100+ when they came out. I just wanted to know what you guys thought of this device and if it was worth the $36 I got it for, I really don't need anymore power than 35w at this point so it was great timing as I was interested in getting a more reliable box than my two Cloupor Mini's. Any Comments, Suggestions or just Info would be Greatly Appreciated! Thank You All..!!!

Hmm, Well that makes me feel better that I jumped on the deal. It looks pretty nice. Can't wait to get it, Vapor Beast had it.. They had Black ones too but for some reason those were like $49 after Promo Code. So Naturally I got the Silver for $13 Less. Hopefully I'll have it by Friday or Saturday! I have a SubTank Nano and a Nautilus Mini coming Tomorrow along with extra coils, So it'll have those waiting for it when it gets here. Got a mess of Juice coming too ;-) Part of my Tax Refund Well Spent after Bills..

Yeah it does seem pretty large compared to newer boxes, and pretty plain.. But I've got my mini's for out and about. I like a simple style too, always wanted one of these last year a few month after I started Vaping but couldn't bring myself to pay almost $100, LoL Well I could've,if I'd had the money but last year was tight. Anyways Thanks for your input and opinion, It's Appreciated!

The iPV 35 watt is a great device , not too small or too big . Did you get your moneys worth lol, hell yes . It's worth more than $35.00 but definitely not worth what most vendors were asking for them , most grossly overcharged and most grossly overcharged for the iPV 50 watt as well .

P4U prices the iPV 50 watt at between $45.00 and $57.00 a piece depending on how many you order , the vendors jack those prices way up. You can order five units for around $60.00 a piece.

I'm hoping they ship it today, maybe go it by Saturday if lucky, lol real lucky.. Ehh that's okay I got Vape Mail coming in any minute with a Nautilus Mini and SubTank Nano and I haven't used either device or any device in the series yet so they should match up on my Cloupor Mini's Quite Well, Plus there should be atleast 4 Bottles of new Juice Flavors too, from 3 Different Companies I figured I'd try. Vaping Cheap also had those or their site last week, Apollo had a two free 10ml bottle samples for just the Shipping Fee of $2.32. Pretty sad I can't remember which Flavors I got.. Then a Apple Pie Free Sample for $1.99 S/h from Vista Vapors. I got the free 5ml from MBV which is where I got the two tanks. I ordered over $50 for free shipping. Got the SubTank Nano for like $23, and the Nautilus Mini for $22 I think after Discount Codes. Also got a pk of 5 Bvc coils for like $9.50.

The IPV1 is legit, I was using one as my daily driver since it came out without a single problem. The only thing I didn't like about it was the screw removal to replace the battery...swapped them out for some magnets and I was happy as could be. Wouldn't have even been a problem if I used the on-board charging, but that's not how I roll.

I recently moved to a Sigelei mini 30W...it's smaller, has the same capabilities (basically), and has actual factory-installed magnetic battery door. It's nicer but I'll always have a special place in my heart for the OG IPV.

Yeah I like smaller devices too, But considering my only other box mods are two Cloupor Mini's they are only 30w so this is a step up in wattage and reliability for me. I will use the Mini's for out and about and work, and use this iPV for Home where it'll just sit on my table or bedside table in between uses. I've heard mostly good things about Pioneer4you and almost all good things about YiHi Chips, So I figured this would be a good addition to my collection, especially at $35.91 Shipped, I doubt I could buy a single SX330 Chip at that price.

Yeah those Sigelei Mini 30's are super nice looking, great brand too. I didn't really trust Cloupor but I Gambled and got one for $34 and it turned out to be perfect for me, Got the other color because I was so impressed with its size and functions. Luckily neither of mine were in the batch that melted down. Had them for over a month and they are still working great. I know a lot of people will talk .... about them and say it's junk but mine aren't and they work great for me, and in the end that's what it's all about, not other people's opinion.
