P4U/Green Leaf IPV2 50W - Product Spec, Performance, Usage & Issues Thread

I'm biting my tongue to not mouth off

Yeah, I know. My therapist appointments are on tapatalk, so I forget which forum I'm in sometimes..

Well therapy is good , you got to get that rage under control lol.

I have an IPV2 inbound. I wasn't planning on buying one but couldn't pass it up for $70 shipped (RTD Vapor is running 30% off all mods). Since ordering it last night I've read this entire thread, lol. Hopefully it will be a solid unit. If not, guess I'll get to deal with Asmodus.

I picked my iPV2 up at a vape shop 5 days ago. So far I haven't had any problems. I'm really liking it. Using my Aspire nautilus at around 9.5-10 watts I can vape all day on a VTC3.

Thanks for the info on the sale. I do not need a ipv2 but toppers are another story.

IMO the ipv is a solid device for the price. Unfortunately the way technology is changing these days with mods it is already very outdated. Nevertheless I don't see another advanced mod in my near future as my IPV coupled with a VTC4 are more than satisfying and definitely keeping me from going back to the ol analogs.

Crazy that just two months ago the IPV2 was a hot rod. It'll suffice perfectly for my commuting and office vaping needs. I'll likely carry it and my DNA30 every day topped with my Eleaf Lemo RTAs. For home use, I'll probably purchase one of the 100W+ boxes for dripping along side my mech. Kind of waiting for the Cloupor T8 to drop and see how it compares to the Sigelei 100 and the IPV3.

Even when I'm dripping I almost never go below 0.7 ohms in my builds, rarely above 20 watts, and almost never above 30. The wattage race is insane IMHO...just think about it..a few months ago all we had was the DNA 20 and now we 150 watts mods are advertised everywhere. I feel nervous already playing with a 50 watts device close to my face

That is what I have found out myself. I am dripping with 6 nic and a 25/75 PG/VG blend and rarely hit 20W. I have found that 32ga spaced coils produce quite a nice vape and low watts safely without torching my wick with a quickness. I have tried pure unflavored VG (0 nic) and can crank the watts but that kinda gets old (to me). I vape to not smoke, but I have been bitten by the hobby side of it.

Everybody is different and the IPV2 is still a good device for the casual vaper. I get great battery life out of mine at lower watts (between 7.5 - 13). For day to day use I have it topped with a modified Aerotank and it does great. When I am stationary I break out my dripper and usually hit 13W on a dual coil 32ga build @1.3-ish ohms. Either way my VTC4 keeps up. I don't think I have totally killed it yet as I am usually around some sort of USB port and this thing seems to charge fairly fast.

Agreed , doesn't matter what topper i use i don't break 20 watts either , i get the most satisfying vapes below 20 watts and builds from 1.2 1.8 ohm's even on my dripper's.

I don't like having a device that has the potential to blow my face off either , a little scary.

Yup , i prefer that range as well , this ecig stuff can very easily get hobby like which i was not expecting at all , i would have bet the house i would not still be commenting on ecig forums after i initially just asked for a recommendation to stop smoking .

I'm with most of you guys. I rarely Crack 30. I will do 50w on rare occasion, usually with my plume veil just to show curious folks what the difference between 25 to 50w is.

So extra power would be completely lost on me.

The new temp control on the dna40 is very tempting, otoh I have been vaping long enough to where a full on dry hit is very rare for me. So I don't know if I can justify another mod when I am more than happy with my IPV2 (save for the idiotic placement of the USB port). Hell, I'm still pretty happy with my Cloupor hana!

P.S. Herb, anything with a battery can "blow your face off." Some of the worst cases were from cigalikes.

 

[cynik]

These recent "upgrades" are definitely overkill, IMO. For something that we initially got into for the purposes of harm reduction, there is an increasing disregard for safety. 150+ watts? It's getting ridiculous.

I wish mod manufacturers would focus more on device accuracy, stability, and additional safety/monitoring features like what Evolv are doing now with the DNA40.

Too many gimmicks; not enough quality.

Truth, indeed!

Thanks for that info , makes me feel a lot better .

I've been rocking this build at 32.1 Watts on my vume bell the past few days..straight. Weird as hell for me..

Someone on VU gave me hell for the length of the legs..lol.

Before I got the IPV2...I was vaping at higher wattages, but obviously not through the whole battery cycle. . .

I started out with the IPV2 at 50 Watts(edit-never under 40 Watts) constantly...but I was vaping things like teleos cloud science, made for higher wattages (just started DIY after she started vaping A LOT more...that's literally a medium sized smack addiction price.. for eliquid)..it's too good:/(see it is)..those will be the last flavors I think I could clone.. there's something about beta and gamma I can't really describe..

But anyways... I've dropped down in power a lot since using this "chain-kanthal."

I'm just trying to keep honest info out there.
High power does not inherently mean high danger. Poor designs and or abusive/negligent users are a different story.

 

[suspectK]

Just reread another thread..forgot my IPV2 was getting pretty warm..forgot to post about it..

It's not getting hot, but it's enough for concern, because my atty is only flush when my 510 screw works its way down if I mess with my atomizer a lot, or swap atomizers..but if I'm able to, I get the screw back up to where I can get one thread on it.

Anyone getting issues like that? Obviously, it's from probably a gallon of liquid acting as a waterfall over the time I've used it...I forgot to check my battery after a few days recently... even after being really neat..it was a mess, but my battery cover is hanging on by a thread..

I wish I could talk like the pirate captain in that archer episode (or I guess that was a trilogy thing...nerd).I tried finding a clip of him...oh well..failed.. this is a pirate..

No heating issues that I have noticed. I rarely hit 20W though.

Obviously your talking battery safety , whether high power vaping is more dangerous than low power thats another story completely.

When mine started doing that I had drops of juice between the bottom of the atty and the IPV body itself. Wiped them away and problem solved (for me at least).
