As you’ve probably noticed items are being added to the queue a lot faster than they’re making it out and with the summer upon us, the queue is pretty much shut down until I can catch up or potentially return some product that you have little interest in. From this point on, it’s gotta be pretty “vape-shattering” to make it in.
Folks, I live in Rochester, NY. We get about 3 solid months of summer, and of those 3 months, about 10 sunny days. 🙂
So anyway… here it is, the IPV4. This one features temp control and I was a bit surprised to see joules until I realized it’s powered by the Yihi SX-330 V4S board.
In wattage mode it will fire up to 100 watts and down to .1 ohm. In joules (temp) mode it’s down to .12 ohm which I also found a little surprising and somewhat disappointing. I found the .065 ohm recommended resistance of the SX-350J much more reasonable to deal with when it comes to NI200. I saw that .12 ohm spec on the Eciggity site, but the good news it that I was able to fire a .07 ohm NI200 build without issue, so perhaps the spec is incorrect or outdated at this point.
It uses two 18650 batteries and has a magnetic cover. Oh… and by the way… it’s pretty darn big!
A few things concern me with this piece. First of all don’t be fooled by the photos you’ll see below. The screen is dim, I mean REALLY dim on the one I have. I’ve never seen a screen this dim indoors. I had to crouch under a counter to see it when I was doing the resistance lock. I guarantee you it will be virtually impossible to see in bright sun light.
Second, I’ve seen this device being advertised with USB charging. The device does have a micro USB port on the bottom and comes with a micro USB cable, however, I can’t get it to charge from this port. I do get a computer connection sound as the firmware is user upgradable. I’m looking into this.
Third, I do see, what I believe to be, a 9V charge port on the front under the 510 connection. I went to the P4U website and they’re calling it a “3.5mm Cyclo charging port”. Note that no cable was provided for this port. I know a similar port on the IPV3 was deemed dangerous. As a matter of fact, the V1 of the IPV3 had the port, the V2 plugged the port, and the V3 removed the port entirely. If we have the same thing happening here, and I’m not saying it is, it’s an instant thumbs down from my perspective. But that’s not going to stop folks from picking this up, so let’s find out more about that port before using it. I’m looking into this as well.
I’ll add to this post as I find out additional information.
Happy weekend everyone!
