Hey there fellow VU vapeaholics. So, I have a pretty sweet deal for anyone interested in the IPV4, or groupbuys in general really.
I used to be VERY active on the reddit classifieds before the VU went live. I met/traded with a guy there a few times who goes by SmogLA. Well, a while back, he started running occasional groupbuys. They quickly became very popular due to how much he went above and beyond for those who participated in his buys, and the fact that his prices were lower than anyone else certainly helped. Basically, he is just a good dude to deal with. He just recently started a website for his groupbuys and any extra product he had from previous buys.
Now for the good part!!
Some of you have probably seen that Pioneer4You updated their official site to announce the release of a temperature control algorithm update for the IPV4. The Yihi SX330V3C chip the IPV4 was supposed to launch with will be upgraded to SX330V4S spec, which offers Ni200 temperature control and Joule mode akin to the much-anticipated SX350J. This is killer news, and the firmware is USB-flashable so it can be upgraded at home in the future.
What this means is now the P4Y IPV4 is the cheapest temperature control device on the market. (AKA finally affordable for me!!)
While some vendors are now selling it pre-order for $80+ before shipping, Smog has a buy going for $62.84 shipped!!! (http://www.smogdistribution.com/group-buys/ipv4-pioneer4you/)
I emailed Smog after I saw him announce this on his reddit sub where he posts updates and people can request items for GBs and talk amongst other GB participants. (http://www.reddit.com/r/SmogGB). I asked if he cared if I threw a post up here to spread the word. Obviously he said yes, actually, I think he said HELL YES!
Smog also told me because P4Y delayed shipment to upgrade to temp control, and SmogDistro got their initial GB order for IPV4s in before Chinese New Year, P4Y has told them they’ll be allowed to add to their initial order quantity without losing their spot at the front of the production schedule. This means any IPV4 pre-orders placed through them now will ship along with their initial order, before the rush of new pre-orders submitted post-CNY.
Iam not affiliated with Smog Distribution in any way. I did some trades with him when he first started using the reddit classifieds, and I have purchased a few items that he has run GBs on recently. I asked him if I could post this here just because i know it will be a popular item and I know plenty of people here are like me and don't have a huge amount of money to spend. Plus, Smog is just an all around good guy.
Also, I am sure some of you may have questions. I told Smog that I was posting this and he told me that Returnity (part of the "Smog team") has been a long time lurker on the VU DIY threads, and would be checking up on this thread to answer any questions. For those of you that use reddit, their sub is also a good place to ask any questions. Returnity or Smog usually respond pretty damn quick.
There are also a few other buys that are currently open on their website as well. Enjoy! You can thank me later ;-)
