Wish I had known he did a review before I ordered. I jumped on the first preorder early july. I also thought the chip would be updatable. No such luck. Funny how the user manual doesn't include how to turn the touch fire on and off. I am real happy with the hana clone I have and really just wanted another box mod. The chip is designed to run more power than the resistance calls for. When you run it higher it begins to read resistance lower. Phil's charts confirmed it ran up to .4V higher than it should. It's wide open or nothing for this loser mod.

1) if you had done your research (such as lookin at the YiHi website) or looked in this forum, you would see that the chip isn't software upgrade able from the on set. So..... That's on you.
2) again if you look at the reviews on the forum and even YouTube so far, it'll become almost immediately apparent to you that many of the issues Phil experienced are limited to his unit. Others, such as the touch button, that can be disabled. So there really isn't a "loss" of function relative to other mods.
3) first of all, ALL chips will run a degree of variance in terms of the output voltage, between 0.1 to 0.2 volts higher or lower for the authentic DNA30. Second of all, the larger variance for the sx chip only occurs at a specific resistance, 1ohm.
4) have you actually seen the voltage variance on the hana clone?! If you think the sx330 is bad, you're gonna .... your pants.
5) "wide open or nothing" yikes. Talk about exaggerating things.
6) can't wait to enjoy my loser mod
Do I think the ipv2 is perfect and infallible? God hell no. But I'm also paying less than a hundo.

You do recognize that he is not the only reviewer - correct? Along with that there are 17 pages here, and another 153 pages here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/575643-ipv-35w-50w-box-mods-153.html that can alleviate your anxieties brought upon by a single reviewer. I would suggest not passing any further judgement and taking the time that you should and do some further proper reading about this device.
Welcome to the site, I am new here as well - enjoy reading more about your device and learning about it!

I'm loving my iPV (v1 though). I've had it for about 5 days and the only problem I have is the two tiny screws to replace the battery. It puts out a great vape at all wattages, is easy in the hand and was dirt cheap.
Like I said the screws are the only problem and that just started this morning. I can't get the top screw back in fully. First time it gave me an issue.
Like I said the screws are the only problem and that just started this morning. I can't get the top screw back in fully. First time it gave me an issue.
I began putting it through its paces last night. I tried a variety of atty's and builds. Everything seems to work well. The only voltage reading issue, when the voltage flipped around had to do with the Ohm's reading. I put on a Tobh clone that's at a .45 Ohm build. Sometimes it would fire at .4 Ohms and 3.7 volts and others it was firing at .5 Ohms and 4.2 volts. All this at 35 watts.
I had the same thing happen with a .75 Ohm build at 25 watts Some times it read it at .7 and other .8 The voltage adjusted accordingly.
Every other build seemed to read dead on with my meters and had consistent voltage displays.
This chip and box are well worth the $110 I spent on it. Is everything perfect... No, but its a good product for the price. It truely doesn't shine at .4 Ohms for me. I'm still going to use my mechs for those type of builds but for the .7 to 1.2 ohm builds I tried it really did a stellar job. Easy to use and small. As long as it continues to operate like it has this box is going to get a lot of use.
I'm going to keep testing it and do some inline readings when I get a chance.

Me too , it has been nothing but stellar , not a single issue and vapes fantastic with everything , i don't mind the screws either , easy in easy out . I only removed the back plate once to put a VTC5 2600mah in it and charge it just like the Cana , through the USB , charges fast and last for days .
Oops forgot to mention i typically vape at between 15 -20 watts , sometimes higher but mostly lower, seems i get the best vape by not going too high.

I think I'm going ot have to leave my battery in as the top screw is all messed up. But overall I'm really happy. (Though I did preorder the 50w Sigelei box as well lol)
If you have a small screwdriver that you don't really care about sharpen the tip flat and shave a little metal off the sides as this usually works to get out stubborn or stripped screw heads.
PBusardo reviewed a lemon. Regardless how many vapers have no issues with this device, it's created a scare story.
On the subject of quality control, JJVapes need to check their spelling before posting a VOLUTARY recall. What the hell is that?

Does anyone noticed that when the battery is down and the display shows it, the message is unreadable cause the rows of the display are not right? Or is it only my device? Seems like the top row of the display is moved to the left a bit, so can't read the words...
I just wonder if this is a general problem with the chip software or if it is a problem with only my display/chip...

On point #1 there are vendors still claiming that the chip is upgradable (I know thay are wrong). Like here https://www.wetvapes.com/index.php/ipv-v2-50-watt-mod-in-stock.html
Oh I just know I am gonna get razzed for this and called crazy. ( that's okay I am a bit "off") But I swear if I vape using the manual fire button the vape is just a touch harsher and will even make me cough sometimes. Using the touch sensor it seems to be a little milder. Same atty and everything I don't change a thing. I spent about an hour last night going back and forth between the 2 to and yep that sure seems what it is. Now my head tells me that would make no sense at all.
Has anyone else possibly noticed this? I know you are all gonna go and try it now huh? LOL Well if anything I just gave you all something to play around with for the next hour Bwaaaa haaaa haaaa. I swear I must be nuts.
Oh also, question not just to the ipv50 but when your vape does make you cough a little is that when you should try lowering your nic level? I think I read that somewhere.

Have you measured this? I'm grabbing my Volt meter.. right now.Oh I just know I am gonna get razzed for this and called crazy. ( that's okay I am a bit "off")

Edit- the only real signs your body can't handle your nicotine levels are migraines, too harsh in your throat, and nausea.
Is it a harsh hit every time? Or just on occasion? I'm thinking this may be you not having enough airflow, or you're just not use to high powered vaping..
I was at 24mg on new year's day- first day I had a mechanical.. and I quickly dropped to 12...stocked up on 12, right when I needed to switch to 6..stocked up on 6.. guess what happened? Lol I'm at 0-3mg now...I don't realize I'm not getting nicotine with 0, some times..

Ya, you know, I have one of those things and still not sure how to use it LOL I mean I just check my battery as I don't trust myself to know when my battery is getting too low on a mech. But that is about as far as I know how to use the thing. Looking forward to your findings and results. That way I know if I should call my doctor for some better meds
Got my V2 in this morning.
The door is larger than the device on all sides and as such hangs over on all sides ever so slightly.
The eye to eye on the screw holes for the door and mod itself dont match up which will potentially lead to issues in the future.
Havent tried it with anything but my FT magma clone. Not even close to sitting flush. Sits ever so slightly crooked.
Screen has a small dab of glue seepage on it.
Giving the mod a quick and hard tap on the bottom WILL reset the mod, but it was a fairly strong and intentional hit so I am not worried about it.
Over all the fit and finish does seem a little sub par given the mods price point.
Not enough for me to be completely disappointed with the mod but not something I am impressed by.
As far as the actual function of the mod, everything seems spot so far. A little early to tell obviously.
I will say over all form factor and fit and finish on my cloupor Cana is far superior.
If I could get this board in a Hana type box with an adjustable 510 pin I would be incredibly happy.
Normally that would be the type of project I would be more than excited to tackle but spare time is at an extreme premium for me now (I dont even know where I found the time to write this)

I edited my post above, and answered, I guess, one of your questions.... I'm doing a voltage loss test, with a wicked coil..unnecessary heat build up isn't good for voltage loss measurements.
IPV2 5.7 Volts@ 0.7 Ohms..fluke 1587 reading 0.7 Ohms and:
vtc5 static Voltage- 3.557 Volts
Touch sensor: 5.675 Volts
Analogue: 5.605 Volts oops...I half-assed this one..didn't calculate wattage...was not in the mind set for this. Doing this type of stuff all day probably has a lot to do with the crucial pieces of information missing.

I agree on the battery plate needs to fit a bit better and the screws could have been done better. The screen glue shouldn't be there.
As for the clopour mod being superior all around in fit and finish... Not so sure about that. The box construction maybe a tiny bit tighter but the wiring and chip area on every clopour we opened up was a hot glue mess. The Ipv2 was far and away cleaner.
As for the chips. The clopour chip has run consistently off spec. Both on Ohm reading and voltage output. The 330 seems to have proven far more accurate by my testing so far.
Just a note on the FT Magma clone. I have one as well. It works excellent but I dont own a mod it sits even close to flush on. Even some with adjustable 510's couldn't adjust far enough for it.
There is definitely room for improvement on this box but to me its a no brainer over the Clopour simply for the chip accuracy. Considering sone of the issues seen with real Hana modz I find it to difficult to get upset at a $100 mod that performs this well
However I may have gotten mine exchanged for a different one if I had all the issues you had.
My original cloupor was quite clean in the way it was put together. Looked better than most Hanas. Regardless, it died after about 50 days of regular use. Should be getting the replacement soon. It will probably just be a backup to my IPV however.
As far as reading impedance my cloupor was as good as it gets. No difference between the IPV. Definitely a little optimistic with voltage output though, not enough so to bother me. Sx330 def has it beat there though.
My magma actually sat low enough in my cloupor that because of the well it looked flushed. And fwiw it fits perfectly in all my mechs. Again, not a big deal to me.
I think the only way I will send this back is if it craps out completely in the very near future.
If my door looked like Busardos I would probably send it back but Im not sweating all the other small stuff.
