Correct the ipv5 does not charge. No biggie for me as I never charge that way.

I'm just guessing when it comes to the IPV6 based on the past models. Who knows they could include on-board charging on the 6. I don't use on-board charging for my 18650 mods (I just bring a spare set if I'm going to be out all day), so it didn't matter to me one way or the other. With my VT133's I don't even worry about that because a set lasts me easily over a day so I just change them in the morning and I'm good to go.
Cheers,

I do agree that they need to institute firmware upgrades instead of putting out new mods. Here's how I see it.
IPV Mini Good
IPV D2 Good (no buck/step down)
IPV D3 Good (80w with step down)
IPV3 Good (screw on battery door)
IPV 3-LI good (easier slide door/upgradeable to 200w)
IPV4 Flop (usb charging fail)
IPV4S good (no on board charger)
IPV5 good
.

The IPV4 (non-S) had a crappy barrel jack for charging - not USB. They simply removed it on the IPV4S.
That would be a disappointment that the IPV6 does not have USB charging. Then again, size, lack of custom TCR values AND USB charging is why my IPV4S generally sits collecting dust rather than being in my use rotation.
Looks like there's a tentative ship date of 6/8, and the prices have dropped a bit.

I talk a lot about wanting a dual 18650 mod, but it's been pretty easy to get by with the Pico for out-and-about and the RX200 for home use. They're still the best single 18650 and triple 18650 mods on the market for their price, (imo). Anyway... the IPV6's function is as yet untested, but the looks of this mod are on friggin point! I may actually buy this one! 
I have never dealt with this dealer. Are they good to deal with?

I'm also liking what I'm seeing with the IPV6. Dual 18650s, but in a form factor much better suited to me than either the IPV4 or 5- which were too large for their own good IMO. They were okay for at-home use but not so much for out and about.
I don't have either mod but since the IPV6 uses a Yihi board and I have no idea what board the 213 is using. I'd go with the IPV6.

IPV6 is the route I'm going. Sigelei has yet to release a mod that has upgradable firmware.

Given that the IPV6 has a YiHi chip, the odds are good that whatever features P4U claims the mod has it will have them right out of the box. If issues are found then the upgradable firmware could save the device or add additional features.
It does look like P4U was taking some design clues from the 213 with the smaller and lighter chassis and materials.
Maybe they will ship to pre-order vendors on the 8th?
anyone anywhere have seen a hands on already? all I can see are the stock photos.
Have you guys seen the other 200w, IPV400?
