The screen is much brighter without a doubt, just wonder how the paint will hold up, hopefully they did it better than the IPV mini that just falls off if you breath on it.

But it does look very good, and good to see the black are actually getting out to people at last.

I feel you bro. Until I got this, the ipv4 mini was all I had and it looked like a garbage can when the paint came offuploadfromtaptalk1432663724289.jpg

Literally dropped my black ipv4 in the toilet this morning. It wasn't on and I haven't turned bit on yet. Letting the device and batteries dry before I turn it on. How fucked am I...

Pack that bad boy in some rice for a couple days. And hope it drys everything out. Blow it out with some compressed air first.

Did you immediately pull the batteries? It might be okay if you open it up and let it dry thoroughly for a few days. I also heard somewhere that setting electronic devices in a paper bag and covering them in rice for a couple days will help draw out any residual moisture, but I don't have any first hand experience with it, so I don't know how much stock to put in that.

Edit: I see Mykline beat me to it, so maybe it does work.

my wife has dropped countless phones in the toilet. we always got them working again by letting them sit in a bag of rice for a few days. now she has a iphone with a life proof case. hope she will never need rice again.

I just got an IPV4 black this past weekend from ShopMVG and my device was defective on arrival with the well documented "check atomizer" issue. From what I've read on other websites, there are two versions of the device with different looking internals and the one I got was the earlier version which has been known to have that check atomizer issue.

Good luck if you find one, hopefully yours is without issue!

Its only missing insulation tape on the charging board. Open it up there should be two.clear pieces of tape on the top left and bottom right.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you happen to have a link with pics? I've never tinkered with these devices so I don't want to screw it up and void the warranty at the same time.

Its two screws you won't mess anything up pulling the cover. Just look for two pieces of tape on the top board. ones right under the 510 and the other is on the bottom right facing the battery

So just for clarification. Open it up and find the clear pieces of tape on the upper left and bottom right and cover those pieces with insulation tape?

Its not a end all cure all problems but its a pretty known one that causes fried charge boards and the check Atty problem.

I found a link to a thread on this forum that has full pics of the board and I see what you mean now. I'm going to try this tonight. Thank you!

Take your batteries out and hit the fire button I'm not sure If the board has capacitors that could hold some energy. Just to be safe. :)

So I took the cover off and it looks like the areas you mentioned already have insulation on them. I'll try to post pics. Now I'm at a loss of what to do.

Well at least it will be easy to get a replacement or refund. I recently got the evic vt which is a other good choice.

I'm still waiting for my replacement or refund from shopmvg.com. I doubt I will ever shop on that site ever again.

I really want to like the Evic VT but I can't get past that horrendous racing stripe. It's like these Chinese manufacturers think all Americans must like muscle cars and surfing. That's like me making a box mod for the Chinese with math equations all over it.
