Velocity RDA with Trinity Copa tip on IPV4, both are 2 of my best purchases to date. My walk around / work vape is still the IPV mini2 with a Lemo 2. 40 watts, so battery lasts forever and the flavor is so good. A little better than the subtank, but I have the new subtank RBA section in the mail so we'll see. Been enjoying a juice called Nates Nectar from Keystone Vapes.
How are you getting on with the temp control on the IPV4, I`m finding the displayed temp to be way out
I did a few tests of various Chinese Temp control mods on another forum, might be useful to someone
Just a heads up on the differences between the different Temperature Control/Limiting/Protection devices available from China.
Due to not having anything really suitable to accurately measure the temperature, this is more of a comparative thing.
The set up was an IR temp scanner fixed securely in a small suction vice. It couldn`t move, vital for a test like this.
The wood mod you see in the picture is glued to the worktop
So the relative positions of the coil and the scanner were the same for each of the mods.
There is a Magma fitted to it which again cannot move in relation to the temp scanner. A couple of leads are soldered to the 510 in the wooden mod and then a modified 510 adapter is soldered at the other end, which can be screwed onto a mod without disturbing the position of the atomiser or Infra Red Temperature Scanner.
All of the mods were set to 400F and tested one by one on the set up.
THE DISPLAYED NUMBERS WERE AS FOLLOWS
KANGXIN MINI......................................92/93
HEATVAPE INVADER..............................81/82
IPV4...................................................120/121
HB40..EVOLVE DNA40...........................91/92
VAPORFLASK KANGXIN.........................85/86
VAPORFLASK WAIDEA...........................82/83
It confirms my thoughts on the IPV4 displayed temperature inaccuracy which is way out.
I have seen quite a few references to failed wick burn tests on the IPV4.
All of the other ones are fairly close to each other.
I think the way forward with these mods is to do the burn test on each mod and take a wick scorch temperature reference reading for that particular mod.
Use that as your ref. Maybe start off at 50F below that ref and adjust to your taste without getting too close to the ref temperature.
I have to set my IPV4 at 310/320F to get a comparable vape experience to the other mods. But IMO each make should be treated individually.
You will see that the numbers do not correspond to what you would expect, that is because you cannot use a cheapish infra red scanner to read the temperature
with something as small as an atty coil.
But the relative numbers are a valid test.

Surprisingly it's been extremely accurate for me. Now, I only have a small spool of nickel so I've done maybe 5 builds but they read the same. No jumping around at all, or any delays. I think as electronic devices there's bound to be some things that go haywire.How are you getting on with the temp control on the IPV4, I`m finding the displayed temp to be way out
Case in point, my friend did only nickel builds in his IPV4, within a month it started reading all over the place. Eventually it made its way over to normal mode and he had to send it back and go through tons of hassle.
Until I read about and purchase something dedicated to TC, I'm going to only do a nickel build every 5 builds or so.

That is really amazing of you to share my friend.
I shouldn`t have posted this here, my mistake I have reposted it in the Temperature Control section. Lovin my IPV4, not misbehavin yet apart from the displayed temperature but easy enough to compensate for
