I went to the pioneer4you.com website in hopes of finding a firmware upgrade to my IPV5 because it only goes to 75W. Anyone else have that issue? Suggested corrections?? I contacted the vendor last night but, nothing yet.

Yup. That's as high as it will go.
But .... I thought it was supposed to be a 200-watt mod ????

That's what I thought too
Are you sure u bought the ipv5?
Vape On
Yup. Did the Vapor Joe deal
I didn't know the IPV5 was released yet all I've found are pre-orders mind if I ask were you got it from.
As far as 75W limit that's not good It may limit you to 75 Joules in temp mode but it should do 200 watts in power mode unless your doing a low sub-ohm build then it may limit power but 75 watts ???- I'd return it as defective.

Joules goes up to 120J.
Sorry. Work interrupts every now and then.
Nice looking mod and the price is nice also. I hope you get the 75 watt thing sorted out.
Oh shit RTV bro, see that's why I don't buy from p4y the last mod I got from them was the seven 30 26650 mod it was CRAP
return it dude, it's ugly anyway

Lol! Yeah, it ain't the purdest thing. May end up doing just that.
Thanks. That's was one of the deciding factors for buying it. I have enough $200 mods and really don't want to spend that again.
I'll start off by saying I don't have it, but it could be a few things.
1. Are your batteries high quality LG, Sony, or Samsung rated for at least a 20 amp CDR? Are they fully charged? Did you check them with a volt meter?
2. What's the resistance of your coil? I ask because it seems like a few mods I've been reading about have a 25 amp output limit. Depending on resistance of the coil and what's it output limit is can cause the device to be limited on max output.
3. Is it 120J for all TC wires or just Ti (just my own curiosity)?
4. It could just be defective
Good Luck!
Cheers,
Steve

Hi
We are looking into this to see if it's a setting issue or if we need to swap it out.
We will contact you shortly.
Thanks!

Just got it!!!! It's gorgeous! Great fit and finish. Feels soooo much more solid than the 4s. Fantastic battery access and compartment is ultra clean. Buttons feel amazing. Screen is brilliantly bright, also recessed so no worries of scratching!
I fired my arctic v8 with hive coil at 150 no problem and am still having a hard time seeing my screen through the fog! I don't have any tanks I can push higher as I don't build coils...yet... I ran the tfv4 at 100w no problem, so not sure what is going on with your's only pushing 75?
This thing is going to be a hit!!! So I have a bit of a problem I think because I just placed an order for a white and a blue model....I need help....

Sounds like a defective unit to me unless I'm missing something. I wasn't try to be argumentative in my earlier post. Just trying to cover all the possible user fixable problems. Good luck Red!
Oops simply, I thought you were ecig avenue. Disregard my pm!
I didn't take it that way either. I just figured it was easier to add red to your post than the ole "copy & paste".

I'm good at that. Haven't even read it yet. LOL!!
Red, I just thought of something (that can be dangerous lol) Does the IPV5 have modes like Eco, Normal, Strong, etc? If it does and it's in ECO, I wonder if that could be limiting power. Like I said, just thinking out loud here.

That would make it totally awesome but, alas, I'll have to say no.
Just for shits and grins, I pulled the batteries and let it sit a minute. Turned it back on and no change. Worth a shot I reckon. Still haven't heard back from Ecigavenue yet.
I just got mine an hour ago and it goes to 200 watts, I am not brave enough to fire it that high but it chucked like a bandit at 100 watts with my crown and .25 coil.
I got the silver and think it is awesome:
I have a RX200, Sig 15TC, VTC Mini and TNT80 but I think this IPV5 hits a little harder, no need to take a primer pull first, the power is just there on the first pull. Only messed a little with SS TC and the Crown and it works about as well as my other mods, will have to tweak the TCR settings.
So far it is a winner for me.

Throwing this out there as I don't know. But is it set to SX Pure mode? May be a power limit for that.
I can't remember the last time I ran even close to 1 ohm. Lol!! It was the .35 ohm dual Clapton on the TFV4 in power mode.
I think you can only set coil types in Joules mode. Good thought, though.
Might want to check to make sure. The SX Pure atty will run in either Temp or Power mode.
Why not contact KMG, they are the warranty repair center for Pioneer/IPV5, pass the issue by them!

Being the OCD type person I am
as soon as I read your post, I snatched it up and went to clickin' buttons. Umm...hang on a sec. Lemme check somefin....
That will be a route I'll take if Ecigavenue doesn't swap it out. Thanks for the link! I'll be saving that one.
Another shits and grins. I have a .15 dual coil in my Aelous. Still won't go above 75W.
Tried another set of new, fresh batteries. If it's a bad connection, must be interior of the mod.
Curious if like the sx350j board 4.2v geta you 75w and 8.4 does the 150w maybe the ipv5 is the same? Are your batteries in right

The chip is the Yihi SX330-200 Chip and just double checked the batteries. Yup. They're in right.

Do you have the batteries facing the same way? If its run in series one goes up, one goes down.
Not saying your an idiot or anything, so dont take it that way, but some people dont realize high wattage boxes have to run in series to produce that much wattage.

That kinda cracked me up! Lol! No offence taken.
But, yes. The batteries are installed by the demarcations inside the device.On a brighter note, I just got off the phone with Ecigavenue and they're sending me a replacement!
A bad battery connection was my suspicion too.
Have you tried putting only one battery in the mod to see of it acts the same way? If it does, it's probably a battery terminal connection issue. Probably bad wiring.Tried another set of new, fresh batteries. If it's a bad connection, must be interior of the mod.

Lol, k.
Glad theyre making it right and sending you a new one out!
The buttons look nice compared to previous IPV products, I liked my D2/3
