Any news on the firmware update for the ipv4? I am toying with the idea of picking one up next weekend. It's between that and the EvicVT. Any feedback on either device is welcome.
I've read rumors that state a firmware update should be available tomorrow.

Ditto. Confused at best:)

I am asking about the firmware that will give presets in Temp mode and possibly the titanium wire upgrade. Not the one that the units shipped with for temp control.

And I was pointing out that P4U promised the firmware update in question a couple months ago, then two days ago, then today.

Here's the latest from P4U though, I honestly wouldn't even expect the update at all at this rate.

Just got this response from Denny:

"Hi friends
I have upgrade my old ipv4 sample by the new software, can not use, I have called YiHi Engineer, they are modifying it,
I will upload it or send it to you by email when they change it well;
Please wait my news, thank you very much"


"Please feed back me for any questions any time"

Thanks for clarifying. I am a bit thick at times:)

I just saw this on Vivid

IPV4S 120 watt Box Mod [Black]
An upgraded version of the IPV4, the IPV4S, features adjustable wattage up to 120W as well as temperature control that makes it compatible with nickel and titanium coils.

So the firmware is available but not for upgrade?

At some point P4U rapid release without support may catch up with them, this seems slightly shady.

Apparently the S is using a different chipset.

Now Denny from P4U is claiming that he got the dates wrong and the firmware update for the original IPV4 will be released at the end of the month.

Hi all,

I think my ipv4 has a problem. I am wondering if other people have the same issue. If you do know it also happens to someone else, would you please link me to where the discussion was and if there's any solution?

Anyway, the problem is, when I bought my ipv4, I also bought a pair of brand new Samsung 25Rs to go with it. I left them in the mod which was turned off, and I haven't used it for a few days. After that I turned the mod on, and it displayed "low battery". One of the batteries was still over 4v but the other one was completely dead.

I thought one of the Samsung batteries was bad, so I used another pair of batteries, VCT4s. I left them in the mod for a couple of days, and when I turned the mod back on, one of my VTC4 was dead too. Fool me twice, it can't be the battery problem. :)

Has this occurred to anyone here before? I just can't imagine the mod is still taxing my batteries when it's turned off. It never happened to any other mods that I have.

Thanks.

Edit: the dead batteries happened on the right slot (the slot that has the positive contact on the top). Also I never used its charging board to charge my batteries.

I read on reddit this issue caused by the balance charging board shorted. The guy claimed removing the balance charging board resolved the problem.

I emailed Yihi about the update and they replied "we are still waiting on word from our engineers".

GearBest update: So... I pre-ordered the IPV4 from GearBest in April. The black IPV4.

After giving me numerous dates for them to be in stock, I noticed in the Q&A section a reply stating that their (one) supplier will not be getting any in stock.

I opened a ticket asking for an update on my "purchase"

They replied saying they do not expect it any time soon, would I like something else or to cancel my order.

I said "you have the silver in stock at your US warehouse, just send me that"... I figured any IPV4 is better than none.

"So sorry, we can't ship that to Canada, only the US.... Would I like something else or I can cancel my order."

"Ok" I replied... "Price match the new SMOK X Cube II for me (insert website and code) and add the remainder owed to my account."

No response.

I replied to myself today saying to change my order to ANOTHER pre-order for the new IPV4S in BLACK.

I await the reply....

Moral of the story... Use GearBest at your own risk :p

It's the charging board shorting out as another said. You either can remove it or insulate it more with either electrical tape. I opted to remove my board and haven't had issues. I did insulate it tape but had a bit of a leak and juice got on the board so i just removed it and taped off the 2 holes to prevent more juice from getting in.
