Basically what the title is asking. I have a chance to buy a ipv2 (currently using an IPV mini) for 50$. ive read review but want a lil input from vapers (not reviewers) on their input. I do want a mod to fire below .5 which is the minis limit and on my rda i can only go to 30w which at .5 doesnt hit hard (comparing it to my subtank mini or the atlantis at the same watts). TIA

IPV2 for 50$ worth it?
- Thread starter KenG
- Start date
I have one and I have no complaints but I'm not a fan of the single baterry. It does last me a work day and vape heavily on it. I used my Atlantis on it as well it was a very satisfying vape . I use it for my tanks mostly not really for my rdas

Ya, havent hard much bad on them either.. $50 is a good price if its fairly new and good shape. FT has them for $54, but most places are far more.
Yea its from my cousin back home, its fairly new he mostly uses RDA and prefers an unregulated box or mech mod toob style. Granted my IPV mini has only 1 battery and 50w on a rda would be more than enough since i run it at 30w now..but that doesnt cut it. I might go ahead with it, I keep telling myself not to buy stuff but im not sure i can pass this lol
For 80+ you can get the ipv2s and compared to the ipv2, you get better buttons, extra 20W, upgradability, floating pin , better box and rounded edges.

I do own one and I rather like it.
Fits in my shirt pocket (a must for me), I can use it in my car as a passthrough to save the battery life.
It will last me a full day with a VCT4 in it. I would guess two days with a VCT5 installed.
Charges quickly via USB. Less than 2 hours.

for 50$? hell yes. I paid 80$ for mine (the 70w upgraded version from project sub ohm) and its an awesome mod.. plenty of power - but the battery life isn't superb being a single 18650.. but I love the touch sensor and the look of it.
EDIT: Okay yea I read this too fast - it's only the 50w version - so yea for another 30$ you could get the upgraded one.. depends on how much power you think you need..

I have the 2S as well and while I really like it, I hate the low battery life when vaping higher watts.

Yea i mean im using an ipv mini which is a single 18650, and i vape my subtank rba part at 24.5w and the battery lasts me all day. For using the RDA it would only be at home and then my normal 24.5w at work so battery life for me isnt much of an issue. If it does i always carry a 2600mah mini powerbank and 1 extra battery on the go just for emergency purposes lol
I have dropped mine a thousand times. Well worn out, and still doesn't jump around on resistance. Its the original 50 watt as well.
It seems to me like the jumping around is the RDA or tank connections getting worn down, but that's another subject.
Bonus info: it accepts button top batteries as well as flat top, for those who mess up and buy the wrong style (me).

luckily I don't drip unless I'm home (especially the higher wattage settings) and I can just keep it charged so this isn't too much of a factor for me.. but I did notice about 30 min of vaping at 60 watts and my battery was almost dead already lol

Yep. If I use my Atlantis on 30 to 35w, its an all day vape for me. But when I start going higher, it's not something I can use on the go. I'm going to buy a better battery and see if it helps any.

same here only drip at home...too much of a hassle for my line of work lol
If you do go the Sig route unless you have buyers loyalty the sig 150 can be found for 89.00 shipped from places like jjvapes.com
Was not sure if they shipped to Canada or not. Sorry man.
You Canadian's got it rough so close to the goods but they either say nope no shipping, or they want to tax you out the ass for it. Oh well at least you have a good health care system with affordable medication lol.
Someone here should be able to help you out with that... On another forum I shipped goods to my fam In Hawaii for things they wouldn't ship/or were unavailable there...
