Out for delivery!!!
I did have a code. I'm not at home to be able to verify, and I'm not sure where I found it. Wherever I found it said it would bring it to $75, but I think that was a promo price the post was really old. It still took $10 off. I'm pretty sure it is 75BOXTOP.Good to know. I figure it will be a minute before they ship me the ipv4 but I don't know if I ever would have gotten one from Gear Best.
Did you have a code for the Sig 150? I see them for 89.99

I'm noticing my ohm reader is a bit off, around .05 higher than the iPV4. I trust the device more, but the coil I just wrapped, 3mm, 13 wrap 26ga, came to .097 when it should be .12 as per Steam Engine. I'm hoping my device isn't off. Can even the temperature of the room make a difference when this specific? My .09 coil from yesterday was reading .075 in the morning. It went from 50s to snowing overnight, so could that drop resistance? Temp control basically wasn't putting any vapor out. I set the resistance at .09ish, where it was, by pulsing the coil, and it was working great. Has me a bit worried. All has stayed consistent, at least.
I figured that being based off of resting temp, and that a hot coil raises resistance, going from warm weather to snowy cold, and now back, could lower resistance. Mod and atty are in the same room, but the atty was hanging out on a thick copper Cartel, no batteries. That probably cooled it more, it just has stabilized around .075. Seems weird it would change.Yes ambient temperature definitely has an effect. EDIT: I need to go check the numbers, putting this paragraph back in in a sec
Another thing that can cause issues is keeping your mod and atty separate - let's say you left your mod in the (cold) car and then brought it into the (warm) house and immediately started vaping. TC might not be as effective because the mod did not not start at the same temperature as the atty/coil.
For those reasons, I really like Yihi's implementation of Set Resistance (compared to the DNA 40's "Refinement".) You can quickly and easily run Set Resistance again any time you suspect an earlier reading might have been inaccurate. (I believe recent versions of the DNA 40 might also now have a similar feature, but am not sure on the details.)
The few times that I've taken an atty that I've been recently vaping on the DNA 40 and put it on the IPV4, I've a) sucked air through it for a while to cool it down as much as possible b) taken multiple Set Resistance readings, over the course of a couple of minutes at least, until the resistance seems stable.
Sucks man. I'm having "fun" with mine, in that this frustration with Kanthal would make me nuts, but figuring this out keeps it cool. Kinda worrying, though.Another day, and no IPV4 for me
My tracking still just saying departed LA on the 6th, no updates since, going to give it till tomorrow evening, and then send a message to USPS, in past experiences like this, contacting USPS when no movement, magical makes it move again.
I will get a IPV4 some day lol
Yeah, I'm getting the infancy aspect of this technology, now. Still awesome, but this is a reason it has a ways to go for the mainstream. Do Ni200 coils typically drop a bit of resistance after use, then cool down. Mine are.For Ni200, the temperature coefficient of resistance is 0.004 ohms per degree C. It's directly proportional whether the temperature is going up or down.
Say, for example, you start out at a room temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit (23.9 degres Celsius) and you are vaping at 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232.2 degrees Celsius), that temperature increase of 374 degrees Fahrenheit (208.4 degrees Celsius) translates directly to an increase in resistance of approximately .83 ohms. I expect this example is a reasonably common a real world situation, but it would work exactly the other way around if your coil cooled down below the set resistance. The resistance would drop 0.004 ohms for every degree Celsius it cooled below the temperature it was at when you originally set the resistance.
It would probably be a good practice to reset the resistance anytime you expect to be vaping for a while in an environment that is either significantly hotter or significantly cooler than the environment you were in when you last set the resistance.
So I cancelled my gearbest order and asked for my paypal to be refunded.
I got this reply
Dear Che,
Thank you for your message.
I have asked a refund for you.
Please check your account 3-5 days later for the refund.
Thanks for your understanding in this case.
This ticket would be closed.
If you have any further question, please feel free to contact with us and submit a new ticket.
Best regards,
Pearl
Do I order one from a local supplier, or wait until the refund comes in before ordering?
I am having the same issue with a Shark order. No movement past acceptance on the 6th. I just called them and spoke to them and was told to open up a inquiry with the usps. I guess I will do just that if it does not arrive tomorrow.Another day, and no IPV4 for me

My VS deal has never shown any movement after acceptance. Like you I figure I will contact usps tomorrow if it does not arrive. It was 1-4 day priority.Yes I've not bothered contacting wakeandvape, they did ship it, and says it departed LA, so got past the acceptance stage, I'll give it another 24 hours, as is first class shipping, then think 5 days is fair to contact USPS to see if can get it moving again.
For Ni200, the temperature coefficient of resistance is 0.004 ohms per degree C. It's directly proportional whether the temperature is going up or down.

Man, I let It rest, and now it's reading .079 from .095. This is after firing it and then letting it completely cool. I'm wondering if that shifts it. But, now the two coils about match resistance, and they are about identical in wraps. Will see how it vapes. Still seems too low for 13 wrap 26ga 3mm. Also, My set resistance feature on power mode, and also with no atty, said .050. Seems strange. All works fine in power mode.
I'm guessing it's user error and finicky tech, but I had stuff working great initially, and now it's kinda odd. I wanna figure this out quickly, if it's my device I want to handle it fast, so hopefully Wake and Vape would exchange, when they stock up. Hoping that's not the case.
What vendors are you finding these deals at? I always love a good deal so I am always looking for good vendors. I also will spend a little more to support vendors that take care of you after the sale. I have had way to many experiences of feeling invisible after my money leaves my account.I saw them for like 75.00 bucks the other day. I am not really in the market for one I just like an idea where the deals are lol.
I would love to support my local B&M's, but they are all way to high on their mark-ups. I understand they have a store front to pay for and all the expenses that come along with that. However, when I see them selling at 2 to 5 times the prices online it makes it hard to justify. One of them charged over $20 for an E-Fest purple battery that I needed immediately. Another was charging $50 for a cheap mech mod that I could buy on Fasttech for less than $10, of course they were calling it something different than the listing online. I found it on a domestic website for $20. I get that I am quoting a price from China that is going to take forever to get here, and an online price. However, I feel that $30 is a more realistic/fair price. 150% of domestic online pricing.Hunt around. I've seen them before at that price locally!
Oh lord - I didn't mean 'local' as in a B&M LOL I meant in the US, rather than having to wait for the slow boat from China!I would love to support my local B&M's, but they are all way to high on their mark-ups.

My thought process is this. Considering the profit margin that is on juice (especially since both of them have their own juice lines) you would think that they would want to sell the hardware at a reasonable price to pull in customers for the juice. People aren't going to buy juice if they can't afford something to vape it with.
PS. Also are you sure that 0.004 is the right figure for Ni200?
A week or 2Has anyone heard anything about the release of the black version. Sorry if it is already stated somewhere else
I have it on preorder from vapenw. They said shipment would either come by the 10th or they are getting it shipped that day. Not too sure. I will look for a email in a week or 2 and post back hereThanks the waiting is killing me
Just telling you what i was emailed. Maybe longer I don't knowThat's funny they told me today they are not sure when they are getting it in
That's why this thread is so greatThat's cool I just sit here waiting just like you I guess lol sucks
That I can't be sure of either. Guess we'll both find out in due time. I'm really hoping it's that all carbon fiber black look. Pretty slick looking!Has there been verification of what it will look like. I saw the pic on vspenw but also have seen others
Looking at the thumbnail I thought the white at the upper left was a nice cloud. You show great control, get it out of that box.It has arrived!!
Go enjoy yourself!It has arrived!!
Lol thanks. I had previously preordered through gear best, said eff that after a month or so and some ridiculous emails from them. Got this one from vapor range. So far I love the feel, the weight is great menu is easy, mirrored screen can suck it, the 510 on it is great, now to play with my kanger ni200 coilsLooking at the thumbnail I thought the white at the upper left was a nice cloud. You show great control, get it out of that box.
I don't miss a button lock... 5 pushesSo far only two real cons. One of them is subjective. The mirrored screen. Which can be remedied. And no button lock which is a pretty big con for me. Guess ill just have to pay better attention to where I put it
Fair enough. I just know for me my mods are always in and out of pockets or anywhere else I need to set it while working. But I do get what your sayingI don't miss a button lock... 5 pushes
turns the unit off.. 5 more turns it back on.. I don't really need to turn it off that much anyway.. Just sayin

5 pushes and the up button to shut off...I would agree it's a con alsoI don't miss a button lock... 5 pushes

Yeah, 6 pushes actually I guess...my bad5 pushes and the up button to shut off...I would agree it's a con also
Did you see the Silver one with the Carbon Fiber shell? it looks pretty sick. He even modified the mirror screen, gotta say it looks great.That I can't be sure of either. Guess we'll both find out in due time. I'm really hoping it's that all carbon fiber black look. Pretty slick looking!
I wouldn't even begin to try and guess what direction Vaping is going to go.Do you guys think, if temp control mods become the standard, we're going to see less and less glass RTAs since being able to see the liquid level will become less important? And, if so, will it effect engineering?
