IPV 6X

[SHOUTCAST]

Totally understood.
Since the H-Priv is such a great mod at least you won't be using a shit mod due to manufacture idiocy.
The IPV6X is the ONLY mod I have every pre-ordered.
I just received an email stating they cancelled my order and converted it to store credit due to manufacture suckiness.
I'm not saying Pioneer4You truly sucks, but damnit they really dropped the ball on this mod.
I was already uncomfortable doing a pre-order and then they changed it from an IPV6 to an IPV6X as I waited.
Then as people FINALLY started to get theirs, I started seeing the issues being reported.
I can't say if it is a good or bad mod in general due to not having one, I also don't think its a POS.
I think there area few issues with it and since it took them SOO damn long to finally start shipping the device, many other mods have came out.
With that being said, I probably won't be ordering one to replace my cancelled pre-order.
Well, that and it isn't like I am in dire need of a new mod.
I do tend to have a few available at all times.

just thought I would update. So I couldn't even use it on my h-priv.. Same problem super low ohms. out of all 8 mods that i own the only mods it would work on was my hcigar dna devices.. I have three hcigar dna devices.. the 75, 133, and 200. that is just bull.. I still can't but help think that there is something wrong with the tank.. noticed that the pin will go up and down and that the coil seems to hold it in place.. whatever i am over it.. at least i know my ipv6x isn't the problem..

 

[SHOUTCAST]

There's is a USB port. I guess it's just for firmware upgrades. When I plugged in a charger it showed the battery voltage but no indication it was charging. Also, when I pressed the fire button nothing happened.

I'm gonna go hook it up to a charger again. for a little bit to see if it charges.

the ipv6x has balanced charging.. So if your charging isn't working then something is wrong with your ipv6x.. my biggest complaint with the ipv6x is if I knock my hand into something or bump it or whatever the battery door flys open..

 

[SHOUTCAST]

I am seeing people having problems with this ipv6x.. seems like pioneer4u really didn't have good quality control. you would think for how long this thing took to hit the market that they would have had all the kinks worked out.. Now i am also reading about a recall.. jeez.. I also got the smok alien on order.. seems to be shorter but a little fatter then the ipv6x.. hopefully it is a better device.. regardless I still love the ipv6x.. you just can't beat the form factor. and the chip is a good one..

 

[BrewBear]

I'm still waiting for the brown/yellow one to become available, maybe by then they'll work all the kinks out too.

I really wanted this one. Any other recommendations for small dual 18650 mods? I read the small sigelei ones are poor for TC

Could someone who has both the Sig 213 and the IPV6X provide a recommendation. I had ordered the Sig 213 over the holiday weekend, but it is on back-order, so I cancelled the order. The retailer didn't know when they'd get it in. Then I started looking at the IPV 6X, but now there seems to be a recall on it.

I have found the Sig 213 on Ebay with sellers that SEEM to have very respectable ratings and am thinking about purchasing one today. Any input about buying from Ebay and worrying about counterfeit items?

As always, thanks in advance!

 

[Wingsfan0310]

I wouldn't recommend either one. Are you only interested in mods that are messed up? The Sig doesn't do proper TC or the claimed 213 watts (about 150).

The IPV6 doesn't have working reverse polarity protection. There have also been reports of the TCR not working properly.

I would suggest turning your attention to a mod that actually works right.

Cheers,
Steve

I have both. If you prefer watt mode, get a 213. If you prefer TC, the IPV6, but I'd wait until they fix the button lock issue. Overall I slightly prefer my IPV6, but I still love my 213.

 

[nightshard]

The IPV6 doesn't have working reverse polarity protection. There have also been reports of the TCR not working properly.

And like I've said in my other post, not only does it not have reverse battery protection, it also auto fires at 200W in this case.

@Wingsfan0310, thanks for the info, you have a great point. That said, what dual 18650 mod would you recommend that I pick up?

I'm willing to pay a little more for a device that works as advertised, however, I don't want to break the bank and spend $100+, hopefully something in the $50-60 range, if possible.

 

[Deucesjack]

My top 3 dual 18650 mods in my hand right now are:

Hohmtech G2 - Hardest hitting regulated mod I own. Yes it's a box but she's a big ugly beastly box that does nothing but perform. TC's anything, and fires anything. American company with awesome customer service. Ecig.com has them at the best price.

VT133 - Tried and true Evolve chip. My favorite DNA by far. Hey, it's a DNA nuff said.

IPV5 - Yeah I know now its an oldie but she's still a goodie. Nice build quality. Awesome board, little on the tall side.

I'll second the Hcigar VT133. It was just on sale for $79.99 last weekend. It's a little more than you are looking to spend but imo worth every penny. There is a big thread here on it if you want to check it out. I think someone mentioned Gearbest was having a Flash Sales. We usually post in the thread when someone has a good deal on one.

Any thoughts on the cuboid? I have the mini and love it although I haven't tried TC. It's beautiful and seems well made - I just worry the full size is far too heavy. The only thing I don't like is that atomisers don't see to sit perfectly flush.

I have one. Solid mod, heavy mod. For the price they're selling for now it's a good buy. Personally, in that price range I'd spend the extra $10 and get an Ipv5. Better board in my opinion.

The cuboid is built like a tank (with a faulty turret)

 

[SHOUTCAST]

honestly I don't understand why people are saying not to get the ipv6x just cause it doesn't have proper reverse battery protection.. Personally I have never put in the batteries wrong in any of my mods.. I totally believe that the pros of the ipv6x totally out weight that one con.. the ipv6x is a solid well performing device and has easily become my favorite device.. If you want a compact dual 18650 mod than the ipv6x is def the way to go.. I also ordered the smok alien which is also small but it is still pre order.. I have really high hopes for that one as well.

 

[Rhyno636]

But the button lock doesn't function. For some reason, the ipv6 always gets turned up to 200watts every time I put it in my pocket. So therefore, I can't recommend it.

@SHOUTCAST, Is the reverse battery protection the only flaw that we're currently concerned about / causing the potential recall? If so, I completely agree with you that I would never put the batts in the wrong way, it's not like it's difficult to read the (+/- signs).

Edit: Rhyno36, I just saw your comment about not being able to lock the firing button.

Thank you for all of the input from everyone!!!

my ipv 6 just did this, separated on one side near top, didint drop it or anything and now it wont fire continuously

It really all boils down to whether or not you find yourself actually using the TC, as a quick search of your previous posts seems to suggest you are still in the feeling out process of your own individual preferences.

Keep in mind that from an overall perspective any default and simplified "TC + non-Kanthal wire = better taste" assumption is largely up for individual debate. For every person that sings the praises of TC there is another (or 2) that gave it a try and came out drawing the conclusion that wattage vaping on kanthal was simply superior (I fell into that latter btw. Not only do i think Kanthal tastes better then any other wire I tried, including SS....a lot can be said over my own desire to dry burn the gunk off my shit every other day when switching flavors without really putting a lot of thought/effort into it).

The Fuchai 213 is pretty hard to beat atm as a wattage only 2 batt device, especially if you put an emphasis value on build quality. If you do find yourself liking the TC I'd get a cuboid and skip right over the IPV6x. For starters the recall issue on the IPV6x is potentially dangerous, and even if you don't think putting the batteries in the wrong way would ever happen to you....why even take the chance? I mean it's not like if you really find yourself digging TC vaping there aren't devices out there that do it better then both Joytech/IPV do.

Why would someone want to buy a device that advertises TC and 213 watts when its obviously a lie? It's a 150 watt mod with broken TC. Who knows what else they were lying about? Why would someone want to support that business practice? So we can get more of the same BS?

As for there being no company doing TC better than IPV or Joyetech, I couldn't disagree more. I think Evolv does TC better than any company.

As for Power Mode don't believe any BS about one mod hitting harder than another. 50 watts is 50 watts, no matter what company has there name on it. Some mods may be over or under powered, but a watt is a watt. I prefer accuracy. If I dial up 50 watts, that's what I want, not 40 or 60 but 50.

Cheers,
Steve

 

[Deucesjack]

Gotta agree with Steve here. I am a TC vaper. Had I bought a Ipv6x or a 213 I'd be pissed. I'm not judging anyone that has bought them. That's an individual choice, your money your mod. Really none of my business. I prefer TC because I like to fine tune my vape. The Joytech chip does an admirable job TC wise but it's no where near the best or even in the top tier. My favorite TC boards are the FSk, Yihi, and DNA boards. Innokins Aethon board is also fantastic but its not main stream enough to include in my big 3 list. Everything else so far is just second rate. I'm not saying I'm not willing to try a new board because I am but so far those are the best chips I have used. Personally I don't believe in rewarding companies like Sig with my support when they pull the shit they did on the 213 but that's my choice and other people's choices and opinions will vary.

For starters, you might want to go back and re-read the part where i stated it wasn't like there were not other devices out there that do TC better then Joye/IPV. That was kinda half the point i was making in regards to taking a pass on the IPV. Although i would debate that the FSK chip gives Evolv an overall run for their money.

Secondly my overall stance on the Fuchai 213 has been pretty well documented in various threads by now. Heck, I didn't even buy mine until after it had already officially released and the "real" reviews started piling up, and only then after I got multiple confirmations here that it didn't suffer from the same misfire issues that the carbon fiber version did. I did that because despite it lacking a feature i had no interest in ever using on it to begin with, it still sits out there as best overall 2 battery wattage box on the market right now. Again, for various reasons i've already bored people with in numerous threads by now. But hey, if you want to start a petition aimed at convincing Hohmtech to up their quality control game and get that chip in a 2 battery box that would actually fit comfortably in my pocket...I'll be your first signature .

As for my lack of taking a stand by choosing to buy the Sigelei anyway, that just is what it is in today's market. Once Vaporshark showed early on that you can completely drop the ball on quality control and still hit a massive financial homerun all bets were pretty much off. I don't take anything stated by anyone at face value anymore, at least pre-release, and always evaluate what i do and don't buy on post-release data.

But I'm also not the guy continuously handing out my money for every new/hyped mod that goes on pre-order....nowadays before they even go into full production. If you really want to take aim at the core of the problem you should probably start there imo.

 

[Abrams]

My IPV6X sometimes the fire button sticks and I have to repress it to disengage it from fireing next mod will be a DNA chip looking at a lavabox I am done messing around with mods that are poorly done

 

[martnargh]

didnt ipv products have complete meltdown issues?
not trying to shit on anyone with interest in the device but with a track record as the one they have its amazing to me theyre releasing new units and even more so that people are buying them.

actually IPV has a pretty soli drep usually
i own 3 different ipvs and they are all tanks and work like the day I bought them
the 3li,d2 and ipv5. The 4 had some issues, the d3 seems to be problem free. the mini was very popular
the 400 seems ok
i thik the 6x was rushed to be on the USA market pre 8/8 and that is causing all its quality issues.

everyone even the almighty and perfect Evolve has had issues at one time or another
its when companies who fail to consistently do the same thing over and over wrong that I have issues. I have seen enough compaints on Smok products that after having my koopor plus crap out in 5 months or so...I would not buy another smok mod again. but i probably wont eb buying ipv sig or anything else.

i am leaning more nto the xhom, hexohm style mods and prefer them over anything since i do not use TC

 

[Abrams]

I am new to the vaping community (less than 2 months) I seen a couple youtube videos and all talked well of the ipv6x it seems a decent price point so i pulled the trigger. Kinda regretting it now but you just have to move on. P4Y is going to have to work hard to get me to buy another of their products in the future.

Don't feel bad about your purchase. Tbh the Yihi chip is awesome. So far the mods only problem is the reverse battery protection. Just enjoy your mod it has a great board in it.

Got my IPV6x yesterday. Im pretty meh about it in all honesty. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone if you already have a 5, I feel like its almost a downgrade really. The mod works fine, just too many little things that wont make me put down my IPV5's anytime soon.

1. I like the "M" settings that have been on all my IPVs prior to the 6x. Allows me to quickly change power or joules to a preset number when Im stealth vaping at work. So thats a con to me.

2. The inability to lock the up and down buttons (even tho this function is in the manual). This is a real problem and pisses me right the hell off. So not exactly pocket friendly

3. It may be fine but the battery door feels kind of sketchy like it could pop open if I were to set the mod down to hard or tip it over. I havent "tested" this yet so I may have to revisit this statement.

4. The reverse polarity thing is no bueno. I havent ever put in batteries wrong but Im not immune to doing dumb drunk shit either so IT COULD happen lol.

5. The tcr definitely doesnt work. The presets work fine but if you set tcr for any number it will glow the coils and that means dry hit city. Wtf p4u, you really fucked up here.

Thankfully I got rid of mine already after not even 2 full days of owning it, thats a damn record for me.

Tldr, save ur money buy one when they tank in price eventually.

 

[Deeks]

Edited to add a 5th reason this mod is shit lol. Which makes me quite sad honestly. I know some people love this mod, and to each their own, but what a piece of absolute shit. Glad I got rid of my mine so hastily lol.

[Whiskey]

Sarcasm?

Right? As much as I like the form factor, I don't think I'd trade a DNA 75 for an IPV6X now.

 

[Chemdawg]

I got a ipv6 cheap on eightvape.
Mostly to get my order up to 75 for free shipping (xfeng was reason for the order)
Mine has a working lock.
I put batteries in the wrong way to see and it will not turn on.
I absolutely love this mod.
Reminds me of my kanger 75 that has outlasted a rx 2/3..two..that's right two aliens ( one bricked within month..warranty return..next one 10months later. Paint on both came off in few wks.)
The kanger worked flawless.
If not for the short battery life I would have just kept using that one.

Did they fix the new ipv6 or did I just get a good one? Is there recall for other reasons.?

Great little mod, isn’t it? I still use mine regularly.

IIRC, the recall addressed the weak door, reverse battery protection, and the added the 3 click button lock.

[Chemdawg]

So are some models made after recall?
Mine has solid battery door... locks on 3 clicks?

 

[chuckpie85]

Yes . The later firmware is 1.6 something. You can check the version you have but holding the fire button while installing your batteries

 

[Chemdawg]

Ok thanks!

Looks like I have version 1.3

 

[chuckpie85]

If I remember correctly the 1.3 version had some of the fixes but not all. I could be wrong on the though. I'm a pioneer 4 you fanboy so I have at lwast one of each mod they've released except for the hideous one that just came out.

 

[Oldschoolguy]

I'm with Deuces, IPV 6X in brown, or bust!

I'm pretty happy with the blue model
