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

[abrb701]

Would possibly be a bit hard to do with the screen size. They'd have to do a new screen that is larger/capable of showing that much info on the screen. Unless they come up with some other way for them to show the ohms just by itself for a little bit on the screen.

Ya I don't know how extensive the user upgrades can be, I have a couple of friends that do programming for Microsoft and Oracle that are into vaping, maybe they could come up with a way to have it display ohms to the 1/100th when you press the + and - button at the same time or something.
I have no idea how much you can actually program yourself with the "user upgradable firmware"

Another feature that I thought would be cool is to have it pulse at high wattage (50 to 100 depending on device) right when you click the fire button, then settle down to the set wattage after maybe a 1/2 to 1/4 second. Might not work, especially with higher gauge wire, but i thought it might help eliminate heat up time.

Threw mine on the charger today before i went to the gym and it seems like the battery charged way faster in the unit via usb then it does on the battery charger i have. Also noted that it says "check atomizer" when the fire button is pressed when i don't have one on it as well.

So I got my black one yesterday, on this one when I switch the battery out, the wattage stays set, on my silver one it resets to 15. Anyone else noticed this on the newest batch?

Is your wattage setting 50w? I think I heard some newer ones started out at 50w from reset.

No, mine is set to 23.7 right now, that's what it reset on. It did start out at 50 watts when I first turned it on though.
Edit: I just put the battery back in after charging for 2 hours, same thing. Pretty minor feature, but still cool to be able to just put the battery in and start vaping. Must be on the new firmware upgrade.

Yeah that minor feature sounds great for me as I plan on not using the USB and just swapping batteries. USPS says mine is expected to be delivered tomorrow. I hope it's like yours.

If its from elev8 it probably will, I just got that one on Saturday from them.

I have a black one that I purchased from an Ebay retailer and mine stays on my set wattage as well. I tried leaving my battery out all night last night while I slept and it stayed on my settings. I wasn't expecting it to remember set wattage, but it does, and I like it.

Can our IPVs firmware be updated?
My unit from a B&M resets to 15 if I take the batt out. No biggy, but it is cool that it remembers you guys wattage w/o batt.

Thats why i always charge via USB , my battery lasts multiple days anyway , it's been over 3 days now and it's still mostly full . I have an early batch model and mine stays on the set wattage when i take out the battery as well , was curious so i checked.

Man I got so spoiled to that high wattage regulated wire, when I had problems with my IPV 2, going back to the DNA 30 and Nemesis was tough, it's so nice to wrap whatever .ohms or whatever guage wire I feel I need, and have to power to push it. When I went back to the DNA 30, the ramp up time was so long on anything bigger than 28 guage, I ended up having to rebuild everything to above 1 ohm and use 28 or 30 guage. I have an authentic DNA 30 chip in a custom box mod that's running on 2 lipo packs parallel because of the size and form factor.

It's possible that the batteries and/or battery connection are the problem with the slow ramp up time, as my IPV 2 has VTC 5's in it all the time and my DNA board has not easy to replace lipo batteries that were used as my only mod for several months and constantly discharged/recharged.

Just wanted to share my experience thus far, even though my early production unit had a problem and it had to be replaced, the performance and form factor and build quality has me believing the potential is here for a really kickass mod. And it only took a week or two for me to become VERY spoiled to all that power. It's so versatile and convenient to push whatever coils Rip and I feel like building that day (he lives in my TV on youtube)

I think it can be upgraded/adjusted by the manufacturer, just not by users. I remember P4Y saying they can program the firmware to say different things when it starts up, so at least minor changes are possible

This is in reference to the newer batches of the iPV2's that act similar? Would it hurt to mention that your early batch model is an iPV1 35w so it's not misconstrued as an iPV2 50w?

Actually it seems to be in reference to any iPV model , people want to hear what others iPV's do , doesn't matter if it's a 50 watt or 35 watt , it's the same chip and same box .

There are more than a few that asked about others 35watt as well , it all applies. I also think people who are getting their iPV's now are still really or realistically in the first round , no changes have been made according to P4U on any of them.

Anyone can contact P4U themselves and they will tell you that.

My first silver one must have defects then because there are a few differences. Retaining wattage setting, started at 50 watts, says check atomizer when nothings attached. Silver one doesn't do any of those things. Unless all of the first run 50 watts had defects, they changed at least the fact that it retains wattage, because none of the earlier ones did that. Your first round 35 did, true, but no one else's 50 watts did. Also, the firmware can not be identical because the touch sensor is not functional on the 35 watt, not to mention the fact that it doesnt go to 50 watts, so while the chips are identical, there are at least some differences in firmware programming.
Edit: Also, P4Y reps have given inaccurate or incomplete statements to many people over this whole ordeal.

 

[LiveL0NGandVAP0R]

Herb, maybe you don't understand my questions. You made your statement about your early batch model iPV1 35 watt in reference to the talk about the newer batches of iPV2's that act similar to yours, correct? Would it hurt you to mention that your early batch model is an iPV1 35w so it's not misconstrued as an iPV2 50w?... This is an iPV2 50w thread, isn't it?... Does it not seem apparent that the newer batches of the iPV2's act a little differently in regards to the wattage settings when battery is removed?

Agreed, thanks for pointing that out.

You know what I like about this thread(most of the time)? You can have useful discussions without it getting heated. Pretty rare for the internet.
