Got it now and it's really good the best $90 i've spent on vape gear so far without a doubt

> Build quality better then an authentic hana
> USB charging with red led light to indicate its charging
> Can vape while charging
> It looks nice and premium, sturdy yet light because of the aluminium body
> The vent holes look stylish at the bottom like smartphone speakers on the iphone
> 1 year warranty
> Adjustable 510 connection
> The chip inside seems to be doing it's job well (displays accurate coil readings to 1 decimal place, voltage, wattage, and battery level

For those saying 50w is a waste, maybe if you got a clearomizer or RBA on it you won't push it to it's limit and 50w might be overkill - but if you like sub-ohming with drippers now and then you will definitely use the 50w, in fact I'll be selling this ipv2 on once the new 100w/150w/200w mods are out (100w should be with us this summer, 150w shortly after, 200w end of 2014/beginning of 2015).

Money very well spent IMO. It's not clones that original mod makers should be scared of, it's the OEM Chinese companies like pioneer4you putting out superior hardware at a much lower price

Because of my job, I tend to go with kayfuns 95% and run the rda at home every once in a while. 50w is overkill for me. That said, I don't think the ipv devices are a waste because of the reasons you've given. It's a nice device and exceptional value even if you're not pushing it over 20w.

I'm pretty sure that many, many MVP owners are not pushing their devices over 8w.

I think my choice is between a 35 watt device (again praying for a price drop) or a 100 w device, not because I need 100w, but because of the battery capacity.

That's why i said sub-ohming with drippers, and not 0.8ohm subohm i mean like around 0.4ohms or less, a way for people to vaping at this level but safely.

I defo agree though the high battery capacity would be a plus even for typical users, a dual 18650 box mod would see someone vaping at 8w go days if not a week+ without a charge.

1. While it "can" vape while charging the manual recommends you do not.
2. This device is not the best choice for sub-ohming and performs great (arguably better) at higher ohms. Your best bet is to wrap a coil that can make use of the entire voltage range which would be over 1 ohm.

It looks like a stellar device and I am close to purchasing one myself. I might wait for a 2x 18650 instead, I'd rather have the extra capacity.

Just checked the manual about passthrough, oops thanks for that.

Where did you get this info about it it being better on higher ohm builds? I've got a 0.38ohm twisted vertical coil on it now and its vaping perfectly every hit, only needs 4.4v to hit 50w too, unlike a 1ohm coil which would take about 7v to hit the same wattage which i assume will kill the battery quicker. Will do a 1ohm build later and see if it makes any difference other then killing my battery quicker (i think).

50 watts out is 50 watts out and will use about the same battery capacity on a regulated device. The difference between a .38 ohm and a 1.4 ohm was 2 puffs using steam engines calculator. 122 vs 124 5 second puffs, respectively.

The ipv2 regulates between 3.4 volts and 8.5 volts. If your using a sub ohm build that requires less voltage than 3.4 it won't down regulate and you are loosing a pretty large range of functionality. A 1.4 ohm coil will give you a very wide range of functionality to play with without changing the coil.

Also: Depending on how you build your coils higher ohms could mean higher surface area and that is typically a good thing. I would love to hear your comparison of a .38 and a 1.4 ohm coil on the device.

Thanks for all the info i'll let you know how they compare later when i've done it

Your quite welcome. That is why we are all here anyways! :vapor:

Yo i built a 1.4ohm coil and been using it all day, and i haven't noticed much difference in the vape if i'm honest, a little warmer and a slight bit more flavour but i don't know if thats just because the build is better or something. I did notice my battery didn't die as quick as it did with my sub ohm builds, i had it in my head that lower resistance means lower output voltage which equals longer battery but you was right so thanks again for the info :D

Now i just gotta figure out how to keep the resistance up while still doing my twisted and quad coil builds somehow lol

Batitude wrote a great piece about power and high wattage and said there is absolutely no need to sub ohm on these , one way to get the most out of these is build higher resistance coils.
