Can you try a firmware update?

I've had 3 IPVs. Ran into a similar problem because I drip, and juice got into the mod through the 510 connector. First time, I took it apart and cleaned it. Somehow that fixed it. Second time, completely dead. (Translation: I went from owning a mid-priced mod to having a free case for a DIY build.)

There is an updated version, the IPV D3 but as far as firmware, unfortunately no. The IPV D2 does not have upgradeable firmware (note the lack of a usb port) and neither does the IPV D3. IMO that was a huge botch. With the exception of a Snow Wolf V1.5, I'll no longer be purchasing mods that do not allow for upgrades.

I don't have mine on hand to check but does the IPV D2 have stealth mode? I can't remember if does.

Thanks!
I think it does indeed have a stealth mode..gotta research how to turn it off and on though..

No problem. Hopefully you just accidently activated the stealth mode and that fixes your problem

So when they've been advertising USB charging, WTH are they talking about? I'm looking at pics. That little circular hole in the bottom? Even my POS iPV2S had a "software upgrate" (sic) option.

After 3 IPVs with micro USBs, I stupidly assumed they would forever make their mods with them. There must be a reason. I do know that the round charging ports last longer.

Lol
Well I took my D2 apart and it looks like juice shorted the display, but could be wrong..cleaned it out as best I could and now it doesn't even fire the atty...So I took the batt out and put the D2 up a storage shelf for now..meantime I just ordered another RX200...I think I'm done with IPV mods for good... Lololol

On the same day my wife comes home with a D3. Ha.
At least she got a good tank... no worries about juice leaking down to the juice-channelless top of the mod and straight through the 510.

@LostHasher, now your wife has some of those highly sought after features in the vaping world today - step down, a magnetic battery door and a not so shitty paint job.

Seriously though, despite all it's shortcomings, I love my D2. It's the smallest mod I own that still packs a punch and does TC pretty well. I use it as kind of a beater mod but @Break-19 's issue is making me not so confident. Congrats on the new Reuleaux. If there is one thing better than the RX200 its two RX200's.

What color do you have now and what did you get?
