    Does anyone know where to get one of these in Ireland, were ESI the only vendor that had them? They've sold out...

    Found 1 UK vendor (LTecigs, haven't heard of them before) that has them in stock but would prefer to get it in Ireland in case anything goes wrong.

    Also if anyone has one and has any thoughts on it feel free to share (Grindle?). Might be a useful thread for anyone thinking of getting one.

    Had a larger post but my phone disconnected from wifi as it was sending and it's lost to the æther.

    Shortened version:

    Battery life = good (2.5ml @ 37w).
    Power = consistent (until...)
    Weighs less than a Nemesis.

    Wattage jumping down to 10w when the battery reaches 3.5v annoys me.
    Chamfered edges annoy me.
    The 510 connection should be 1-2mm deeper so that all atties sit flush, the adjustable 510 screw is only useful for devices where the post is jutting into the atty's 510 as opposed to out of it (there's 1/3 of a mm gap with my Origen and it's post is screwed back as far as it'll go).

    I like it.

    Fantastic, once there are no issues with it reading resistance or smoke isn't coming out I'd say I'll be happy enough with it :)

    Got it from LTecigs yesterday for £65 (with discount code LT10) so worked out cheaper in the end.

    You're still using that Origen Grindle? Never really got on with mine, must give it another go. What build do you use, standard dual vertical micros? My 2 VTC5s finally arrived from FT yesterday also so good timing.

    I actually bought another, the V2 clone - I love them. The 3D works well for me too (once airholes are widened) but I find the Origen easier to build with apart from those stupid hex screws.
    Standard dual vertical micros. No need to be getting too complex.

    Have had 24 hours with the IPV v2 and it a great little device. Using a Magma clone at 38W (0.4ohm dual) and it probably the best vape I've had yet. And it's consistent, with being a mech user is a nice change.
    I had to remove the adjustable pin to get the Magma to sit flush though but that's no problem.
    Also tried the Atomic at 50W and it performed excellently. Clouds guaranteed!

    IPV 3 on the way, 100watt (why you would need 100watt is beyond me) Still, I'm sure they'll be popular with some.

    After using this for a week or so I have to say it's a fantastic device. Very small and light and lasts ages with a VTC5. For anyone thinking of getting one I'd say just go for it. Can't see myself ever going back to mech mods, 0.2 ohms is as low as I'd ever want to build and 50W is plenty power for any coil. I'm using it at around 35-45W for drippers.

    The only issue I've had is with the battery losing contact and turning the device off, this was happening frequently. Easily fixed however by wedging it in place with a piece of cardboard, hasn't happened once since. I got caught a couple of times when switching between a 0.3 ohm dripper and a mini nautilus, it only remembers the last wattage when the device is switched off properly. I turned it back on assuming it would still be at 15W but it was actually at 45... Not pleasant to say the least, happened to me twice and probably ruined a coil.

    Overall big thumbs up.
