The IPV3 is still a performance beast. It is a good device if you don't mind charging your batteries with an external charger. I would still classify it as a "good regulated device"...its just has some cons, just like every other device on the market. As far as performance wise. It does what it's supposed to and the chip is a good chip.
after the mess that was the 7-22, i was hesitant to try a p4u product. glad i decided to wait, cloupor will surely bring something insane to the table come holiday season, and after the sucess that was the chana clone i'm nothing but excited.
Completely understand. I recently bought the Cana mod from cloupor about a week ago and it's been great.
I am so disappointed because the ipv2 was such a good device, in my eyes, and they really screwed up on the ipv3. I still bought one and will probably keep it, but they are, and will continue, to receive negative comments about this device.
Wow, didn't know that one was a failure , most info i read about it sounded very positive .
I rarely check the forums but just ordered a IPV V3 what is the Lemo setting? sorry If I am just dumb
love my new IPV3. This thing lasts a long time. The battery charger is working properly and the ohms read-out is steady, no fluctuation at all. The read-out matches the ohms reading of my other devices. I purchased my unit from Ultravaping.com. I am using the 9v 1500mah Charger with the “H” adapter that was posted on this site earlier this week in another thread.
Very happy with the device. I mainly wanted it for the long battery life. Been vaping it with my Hobo RDA (0.4ohms at 34 watts)for the last three days and I am still at 50% battery life. I only use it at home. have not tried to travel with it yet.
Did not need 150 watts, but I wanted a dual battery box that could hold a charge for several days. Looked that the Siegel, but I did not like the buttons or the sharp edges. The IVP3 is very comfortable in my hand with the chamfered edges.
I will open up the device and check for any damage to the wire insulation, that looked dangerous.

Glad to hear.... Has anyone confirmed a balance charging board on the ipv3? I would not want to charge it via the plug if it doesn't have one.
What's all the talk about the IPV3 not having on board charging capabilities? Mine does. I agree it should have come with a charger but it certainly does have on board charging.
I have a Blue Parrot blue tooth headset and the charger from it does a great job of charging my IPV3.
The touch fire sensor, I'm sure it was deemed a liability. IMO, I'm glad it's not there.
I personally think a lot of the disappointment that comes from this device is the way it was marketed and sold. Taking pre-orders and giving spec's on a device that's no further than the drawing board is just insane.

Yes it is but they will no doubt continue to do it because people are buying it , thats the bottom line . It's also crazy to pair up with a aftermarket warranty center "Asmodus" that changes the terms of the warranty on the device regardless of what your warranty card promises in writing .
Count on continiuing changes that make it easier for them and makes the warranty less valuable to the consumer.
Until more people say enough it won't change though.

I could be wrong but I think the Lemo is the atty sitting on it. Typos be damned for causing confusion.
The issue is if it balance charges. If it doesn't then charging batteries, in series, without a balance charger is dangerous
Are you 100% positive about that? I thought that was just an issue with parallel battery setups like the Segelei 100W. I could be wrong about that. I've charged mine 4 times with the plug in charger without issue.

I had a feeling about that touch sensor on the 3..
Was looking at the Sigelei100, than really started leaning towards the IPV3. Now that I'm seeing these issues, I think I'll wait to get any regulated high-watt box mod. Seems like EVERY company has issues with shooting out new mods as quick as they can to turn a profit, without worrying about quality and function-ability. Rediculous.
.... I wish that the IPV3 had the Sig100's fire button, a sleeker look more like the IPV2, NO pointless/functionless touch sensor, and none of these issues everybody's talking about.
I was SO READY to finally jump and buy one of these APV's!! But I'm waiting until they work out the bugs from the 1st batches, or until things improve.
And I hope it's soon because I've been anticipating one of these for month's now, and I was justttt about to grab one
Thanks for the thread

Yes they do and while many say 'no more for me', when pre orders are finally offered self control and discipline go right out the window lol.
Much more so with P4U actually , they have experience and can make great devices but continue to rush and not make the devices as good as they can be . They use YiHi chips but continue to screw up with the things they put them in.
Cloupors issue is just not being as experienced and knowledgeable in the chip/ mod manufacturing game imo.
How P4U can advertise features and functions on a device and then when it's released they are not even available or functional is beyond me.

As I stated before. The ipv3 is a beast and it's an awesome device. Just because someone else doesn't like it doesn't mean you shouldn't get one. No touch sensor, who cares. Can't charge correctly,
Who cares just charge the batteries like every other battery.
People are only stating their cons. They aren't giving you the whole story which states the ipv3 is a performance beast. This thing can handle anything you put on it and the battery life is awesome. I have no doubts in purchasing mine and have not had a single problem .
If the board inside the ipv3 doesn't balance the cells when it charges the batteries, then all the charge current is running through the first battery, in order to charge the second battery. Also, that means that the cells aren't being charged correctly and will deplete the battery life, over the long run, way faster.It's not safe to have the current running through the first battery, to charge the second.
