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

[elenamylove]

So, would a strip of velcro be a bad idea? I don't have any small magnets in my magnet stash. I think I may try it... But I don't know if it's a bad idea or not.

Home Depot has small magnets (various sizes) should check-em out sir !!

Is your iPV2 the one with the floating 510 connector?

Nope. It's a fixed 510.

And the troubles begin. I've had my IPV2 since 10/18 and it has been flawless until this weekend. Now it jumps resistance with every atty I put on it. I can remove the atty and put it back on and that usually does the trick for a bit and then it starts going nuts again. Guess it is going to Asmodus. Hopefully that won't be too painful. Looks like they now require you to pre-pay the "administrative" warranty fee. Kind of crappy but I guess I'd rather pay the piper than write off this device. Good thing my Sig 100 and Hana clone are still going strong.

I have an IPV2s and just noticed the same problem you were talking about.
Don't know if this will work for you, but I knew that my coil needed cleaning and rewicking and that can affect the resistance, so I took apart my KFL and wound up rebuilding the coil as the old one was actually shot.
After the rebuild, the readings on my box normalized ( at least for now). Maybe this will also help solve your problem. Let me know.
I'll post back with an update to let you know if my problem is actually solved as it currently seems to be.
Good luck!

Raise the 510 screw up so you have a small gap inbetween the atty and the ipv. Worked for me.

So is the 510 adjustable or not? This thread has conflicting info:

I also remember seeing a pic on imgur showing a broken 510 solder connection from adjusting the 510. I haven't tried to adjust it based on some of these reports.

Mine is spring loaded, so I have not tried to unscrew it.

 

[Efektt]

Mine is adjustable with a philips screwdriver. I have one of the earlier models. I didnt know there was one with a spring loaded 510.

What is this "administrative" warranty fee?

Yep. There is one between the 2, and the 2s. The upgraded 2 has larger screws with hex heads, and a spring loaded 510. You can tell because the updated ones do not have the "+" ,"-", and "power" written on them. Just the buttons.

 

[Efektt]

Do they really expect us to believe they are doing the warranty for free? That is hilarious.

 

[suspectK]

Troubleshoot....edit- but I don't know if I trust P4U with a quality spring loaded connection.

My elev8vape order is on it's way....updated

And black hobo and orchid v3.

I use XTAR re-wrapped VTC4 cells in mine but the Samsung 25R or LG HE2 batteries are probably more readily available, cheaper, and just as good for this mod.

Samsungs for $7.50 here:

Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mah 20A NCA - Triangle Vape LLC

I've been using the XTAR's also. I lucked out the other day and my favorite vapor shop just happened to have some authentic Sony VTC5's. There was a 2 per person limit. I bought 2 one day, 2 a few days later. I'm gonna see if they have any left this weekend.

 

[atroph]

I use a VTC4. I don't go over 15 watts or so as I am using thinner wire on my RDA. I usually settle around 8-13W depending on the build.

I have bumped it up to 30W just for kicks but that is just too much for me personally.

 

[arken21]

I'm still debating which to buy...there's panasonic, samasung, efest ... they all seem pretty good. I don't do rda yet, but i wanna buy a battery that's more "future proof" (yea...i know it will dies out anyway), which one should i buy?

And should I charge the battery via the usb cable or i should buy a proper charger for the battery?

USB is just fine. It seems that the USB method charges pretty quickly. I don't have a standard charger so I can't compare to USB charging. That was a deal breaker for the double battery box mods as I couldn't charge as easily as I can the ipv2.

I can easily go a day and a half with my vape usage above with a VTC4. All batteries listed above are sufficient so get one that is most comfortable for you at the price you want to pay.

Elev8vape made good.
