Looking to get my last box mod for backup reasons - I was thinking the iPV2s - it looks nice and I love the BB buttons and its upgradeable to 75 Watts and I'm sure that's more than I'll ever need.

Anyone know of any issues with them? Are there different released versions? I know my iPV2 updated version is really solid so just making sure I order the correct item.

Also looking to order from US vendor so if anyone got a link for one for $108 or better lower with a discount code "I lub you long time" :pervy:

Thanks as always all!!

I've had mine for a few days now, to add to my growing collection of toys :laugh:

Must say, so far I'm really impressed with it. The only tiny negative for me, is the tiny screws holding the battery cover in place - be a bit heavy handed and they'll soon strip the threads. But apart from that, it's perfect. Fires every topper I've put on it. Great battery life. Feels comfortable in the hand and the touch sensor firing is really easy to use.

150 watts overkill ha ha ha , they are all overkill . Most buy them simply for the dual battery advantage . The Sigelei is the one to get imo , gets fantastic reviews across the board.

Asmodus is P4U's biggest negative , hurting their sales big time as it should. If you can get an iPV for well under $100.00 i wouldn't rule it out but around $100.00 no way . Way too many great options.

I was reading horror stories about the Sigelei 100 watt box and the 510 pin, jebus...

I settled for the IPV2S over the IPV3 at the time mainly because of size differences. Been using a Cloupor DNA30 since it first came out and loved the convenience of having a USB port to charge. There's plenty of power from it for my needs, and I haven't upgraded it to 75W yet.

Wisdom. If I had the coin, I'd get the IVP2s. Barring equipment failure, I'm imposing a moratorium on equipment expenditures until next summer.

I got a black IPV2S last week and love it. I've had no issues. The BB buttons feel great and most of the niggles from the first edition seem to have been fixed. I do plan on adding magnets to the back cover but it certainly doesn't need them. I've used an Atty at .2 ohm, an Orchid at .5 ohm and a couple of Nautilus minis at 1.8ohm. They all vape great. I got mine from the Vape shop across the street from my house for $109.00. Well worth it. They also had IPV3 in Stock but at $179 I decided on the smaller IPV2S. I'm glad I did.

Hello FloridaSam! Did you do the update to your iPV2s to 70 WATTS?

Ordered from eciggity.com - iPV2s Silver, no black :facepalm: got the 70 watt upgrade downloaded and ready for when she arrives!


Smart move , i think that one is real nice . Surprisingly most places don't advertise it as being water resistant which is what pumped up it's popularity.

I have seen some places selling the iPV 35 watt device for $60.00+ , that thing is awesome and it's the only fairly priced iPV currently available .

Everyone is charging top dollar for the other ones because they can and it's the hot mod at the moment .

I completely agree that they should advertise the water resistance more. One of the known issues of the ipv2 was that leaking rbas would leak into the battery compartment. I don't have my drippers yet to test that out (should come Monday, crossing my fingers), but I feel much better about it seeing the dunk tests of the ipv2s on YouTube.

Side note, I ordered the unit from a retailer on Amazon, who only offered the silver option. I received the black. Maybe a mistake, but one I'm very happy with! It looks really sharp.

Any feedback on the 70W upgrade? It's my only mod and I don't want to chance it going out of commission!

I also purchased the black IPV2S from Eciggity.com a few weeks ago, and it was well worth the money! Ive only had 1 issue with mine, that being the +- buttons sometimes get stuck underneath the borders causing the watts to go up/down until I un-jam them. Pull the trigger now!!

Wait, they get stuck sometimes? So is it easy to get them unstuck , I hope? :facepalm:
