Granted, I have had all kinds of mods and played with and have used plenty of mods but to actually own something this big was not something I saw ever happening. I like smaller devices that are more fitting for a hand. This big boy is tall, not super wide but the height seems a lot higher than my other mods. Bigger isn't always better, so in looking at all the mods in the same "class" as the ipv5 it noticeably stood out. Yet out of that class, when I picked this up it was like I knew we were going to have a long happy life together. In black with the Limitless RDTA, it was meant to be ♡. The IPV5 is sturdy and feels very well made. It has a magnetic battery door so it stays put. It takes 2 high drain 18650 batteries and it holds a charge to vape ALL day! I consider myself to be kind of a chain vaper, so for me that is something that is super important. However for a girl who was use to the turn on and vape mods this one took me a little to figure out the menu and how the settings work, I hadn't had a mod with memory settings ever. This has 5 different memory settings so you can set the mod up to remember the settings you like for all your favorite RBA's or sub OHM tanks or the in between RDTA's. It seems as if it goes in to sleep mode if you don't remember to turn it off after that last night time vape session of the night, the batteries are always as full as they were when I fell asleep. I definitely can tell the YiHi chip in this also makes the lag between the time that you hit the fire button to the time you actually get the coil hot enough to take a huge pull next to nothing. It has almost zero ramp up time, no matter what I build and no matter what coil setup I am using. 5 clicks on, but 5 clicks off actually is "5 clicks on 5 clicks menu," lol. Next you use the up and down wattage buttons to scoll through and select your settings using the fire button. The bottons feel solid and have a solid click with no wiggle room. Overall initial appearance is pretty good.
Now to attempt to kind of explain the settings, which seemed kind of intimidating right away; the first atty I threw on this bad boy wouldn't fire. I thought I must have broken it lol...nope!...this does not come out of the box ready to use for those of us that build our own coils. I don't know if I had put a sub OHM tank on it if out of the box it would have fired up, because I didn't have that thought process at the time. I wanted the RDTA I had to be the main one I had on this. So after googling for videos that were terribly confusing I just started changing shit lol. The manual doesn't explain much in terms of RBA type setups. This thing comes out of the box with the "w" for watts as a "j" joules, the 5 clicks off opens a menu which changes the "j" in the power menu; now, if you are like me and want to set up to use a RBA, RTA, RDA or RDTA or something else that you prefer to use your own coil build on (seems like I find new coil shit weekly with how fast vaping is becoming popular)...you need to change these settings for the atty you're wanting to use. For my set up (the iJoy Limitless RDTA) I went 5 clicks into the menu and into "Power" to select "joules" then I kept it at "F" for Fahrenheit then went and set temp at 400 cause its not gonna matter once I change the coil setting but, if you are nichrome or a coil with Ni or Ti markings, you will need to set the temperature to what you want. Then, I went into "Coil Select" and I selected "Manual TCR" (this is where you change the atomizer setting so sub OHM Ni or Ti can be changed here, if you are using a sub tank but not those types of coils select SX pure) and then I select power AGAIN because I want to change it back to read "w" when I am back on tge front screen. I know you are thinking "god damn that's a lot of work to adjust my wattage", don't worry you can fine tune your wattage after your back to the beginning by holding the down button down till you see the display switch to "ADJ" so you can go up or down in wattage (or temp) and get it right where you like it. Once you have it tweaked to perfection hold the up button till you notice the display brightens. Then the mods memory is set for M1-M5 (depending on which one you started on) without needing to go into the menu every time. So unless you change your setup you're set to go forever. I like to use lots of different types of tanks and try new setups so I set each memory based on type of tank instead of just setting it up for the couple tanks a normal person would own or prefer to use....but with the ipv5 you will definitely love anything you throw at this. I know the settings part sounds complicated but really if you love your specific tank setup and that's all you use and you never go back and forth it is really easy to just swap out and adjust the watt/temp and go. If you are like me and you will put whatever attomizer anyone hands you on your tank, I would suggest my setup.... using the M1-M5 based on TYPE of tank vs. personalizing memory to each tank itself. So I change memory slots if I am going back to an Aspire sub tank instead of giving the exact tank a slot; then I adjust general wattage and vape! I really thought I was a happy vaper with the mods I already owned, nope! I feel like p4y definitely knocked it out of the park with this device. I cannot say enough GOOD things about the performance of the ipv5. The clouds are just unbelievable! Now, that all being said on to the situation of looks and wear and tear. I would normally order this in a stainless steel but the owner of one of our local vape shops once said black on black was the best and most beautiful of all the color setups...I know stainless steel is durable and sustains the good looks for longer, it is also super mundane and boring sometimes, and with all the great colors this comes in I could not pass on the color part this round. The look of the black is definitely sleek and gorgeous... The "James Bond gaget vaping" style was a turn on, but in holding it without a silicone sleve I managed to scratch it with my ring within 5 minutes of having it out of the box (thus the silicone sleve in my photos)....and since I wear diamonds a lot and on multiple fingers this was a major downfall for me. I know others have said that they dropped it and it stayed gorgeous...but apparently if diamonds are a girls best friend then the colorful choice is not...or vaping without silicone sleve is not for you. Think of it like your diamond gold rings are an STD your mod is your perfect body and the sleeve is your protection from horrors of calling every person you've come in contact with lol...its just BAD!!! So I since I didn't notice what was doing it I ended up with scratches on both sides 😢 on day 1!...definitely a downer on my vaping euphoria! I ended up throwing a vape sticker over them, but I still know they are there! Lol. So if you really care about the look of your mod wrap it up people! Other than those scratches this mod is so far my absolute favorite. I like it better than anything I have ever used. The magnetic battery door is genius. This one gets the prize for its overall class. Vape♡Babe Ratings Looks:⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price Range:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durability:⭐⭐⭐ Performance:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ease Of Use:⭐⭐ Overall this Babe gives this mod: 👍👍
