Actually, let me confirm this shortly. The red charging light turns on, but I'm not 100% sure it's charging.

Typical. Early bird pays more. Price dropped since I bought them.:)
Now you've got me testing. All I looked for was the light coming on.

nice try guys. But the IPV4 batteries are in series and require a 9 volt charger. 5 volts just won't do the trick.

It's not an IPV4. It's an IPV D2 with a single 18650. The stock charging cable is USB with a barrel connector instead of micro usb at the mod end.

Thanks I stand corrected.
Didn't realize it had a non usb style charge port.

It's gone from around half to a full battery icon. Light hasn't gone green or out, I've not really charged it with the cord before so I'm not sure what it does when done but I'm sure it's charging.
Edit: I took a battery out of one of my mech's. It tested at 4.09V. I put it in the D2 on charge and after 30 min it read 4.16V so it's definitely charging. The USB charge source was 1A but I'm guessing the D2 charges at .5A.

I had to order one of these today. Had the IPV D2 for a few weeks, the cable was inserted into my 5V wall charger, which I remove the USB to charge my phone.

Things dissapear in my house all the time, not just small things either, a large bible went missing around a year after moving into our house. That was 20 years ago. Never found.

I have lost 3 wall socket adapters so far, and we are not an untidy family. I have checked upstairs, under the fold out bed, INSIDE the fold out bed, under the pool table, and everywhere upstairs, I have removed my bed from my room and wardrobe, looked behind the TV, and have also searched everywhere in other rooms that they would never be in, but I have thoroughly searched. Luckily one of the IPV D2 cables was only £1.49, and a wall adapted was £2.49, made sure it was 5 V so it can do my phone and the IPV D2.

I made sure to order a BRIIIIGHT red wall charger, you could not miss that on our carpets. If this one goes missing as well, I am getting an excorcist. Semi joking there, its actually becoming a joke now lol.

I have an external charger, but that is in near constant use, and the IPV was empty and needed charging, so was going to use that for a change.

I really need to get a 4 bay intelligent charger. 2 bay is just not enough any more. I think the nitecore D4 seems good, I have the I2 at the moment, that just has 3 flashing lights, the D series has a LCD screen to tell you percentage till full and all sorts of information.

Now I have ordered the Smok Xcube 2 aswell, I think the payday after next will be on a 4 bay charger.

But, yeah, my house is a black hole. I'm sure of it.

Get a small wood box, as soon as you are done charging your batts put the adapter(s) and cable(s) in it. If they dissapear after that, either someone is fucking with you, or you have a poltergeist.

We have ruled out someone fucking with me, my family doesn't do pranks or things like that. I am going to keep them in my mums room from now on, we have found a place to keep them, but a box would be a good idea.

If things continue to go missing though, I agree. We have had some, what could you call it, 'activity', in the past, some quite frightening, but i hope there is a logical explanation to some like group hallucination ETC.

Upstairs is just one big room. Whatever bad that was here was up there, we all could feel it. I used to be too scared to go upstairs on my own to play pool or darts practice, but for about 3 years it feels OK up there. I go up there at midnight to practice darts. But I am not afraid to admit, when I was 21-22, I was scared to go up there alone.

Whatever it was seemed to have gone though, as shit went normal. I do know though that my fiancee had a problem for around 8 months, medical problem she is fine now, and she was very angry during this period.

People who believe, could this have bought it back?

Also, selling my soul to satan at 15 probably wasn't the best idea. We got the ritual off the internet. It is probably bullshit, just involved burning my name and a few other things, me and a few mates did it for a laugh. Around that age is when my life went downhill, ultimating in a life threatening condition.

In hospital when I was withdrawing, there was a voice that was not mine. Reading scripture of some shit, and some language I do not understand. I know it was logically a alcohol withdrawal hallucination, but the voice was going faster than my brain has ever been able to think.

I believe in bad things. Some people may judge me for this. I also believe in good things, wether that be a 'god' or just a Force, beyond human comprehension. I just hope that ritual I performed can be reversed if the bastard exists.

I sleep with a bible. I am not christain, but it makes me feel safer. Everyone in this household, including my near 80 year old grandfather sleeps with the lights on.

The red light goes out when my D2 is fully charged...under 2hrs connected to a 5v wall charger via USB....I was wondering if it was charging myself when I first got it...
I installed a fully charged (4.2v) batt in the mod, made sure it said "system off" and plugged in the charger...The light stayed off...so when the light goes out you'll know its fully charged...how long that takes may vary on what charger your using... It takes a little longer charging from my computer or the USB port on my high end deck in the truck.. But all charged it fully under two hrs..

Idk if I would trust onboard charging. I personally took took my IPV4 apart and cut the charge board out. I guess on the single battery D2 it wouldn't be as explosive an issue but I rather use a standard charger and keep a few extra batteries on me.

I used to use separate charging for my D2....
But stretched out that silicon sleeve to being almost useless taking it off and putting it back on with batt swaps..
Because I really like that sleeve protecting my little mod from dirt and scratches I started using the charge cord...it works great..no issues at all..
I also ordered a couple more silicon D2 sleeves from SweetVapes that are supposed to be much better than the one that came with it..(I do like using that sleeve with in-mod charging)
BTW, I vape the D2 mostly when I'm driving or down at the casino...it's really to cool to take a few hits that helps me concentrate on winning some $$..but it's also small enough to carry in my shirt pocket always at the ready..
I see people watching me hitting that little mod...and then are totally amazed at the huge clouds I blow off it...alot of fun, for sure..

Nice to know others are available. So far I'm swapping daily and mine's stretched just enough that it's pretty easy to take off and on, not sloppy. If it continues to stretch though...

I will be getting a 4 bay battery charger in a few weeks, a nitecore D2, as it has the LCD with all the information on it, I currently have a Nitecore I2, 2 bay, and it just has 3 flashing lights, when they go solid the battery is charged.

I want a bit more info, and also the charger is in near constant use due to the amount of mods/vaping I do, I currently have 10 batteries to 6 mods (Including my fiancees sig50 makes 6) I have 4 more 25R's coming and one set of vtc4's, hopefully they come with the Xcube 2 tommorow.

I still don't know if I can use a married set from the 150 in the xcube, I don't see how it would damage, but if I am wrong please tell me, as I am likely to want to get it working straight away. I got some DVD+Rs today to burn windows 8, so I can use windows on my mac for the program included to update the device myself.

I think after this mod, I have enough to satisfy me for a few more months. The next few months I will build up on toppers, RDAS and RTA's mostly.

Also I will get a 4 bay nitecore charger instead of the 2 bay I currently have. And make sure its the one with the LCD screen, and not just 3 flashing lights that go solid. I want to know battery information, the D4 gives me that info.
 
Just ordered the charger from eBay. I'll let you know how it works. Thanks Rhyno636. I'm in the same boast as ConanTheWarrior--everything seems to go missing in my house, which I why I order 2-3 of every type of charging cable. :) If anyone finds the IPV D2 charger on Amazon, please do post the link.

Hola folks. Been away from the forums for a couple years with this single parenting gig so excuse my post count. Actually VU didn't exist back then so technically I'm new here, but still old school.

Anyways, I haven't had my IPV D2 for a full week and the cable is MIA already. I swear, it's a never ending search and rescue mission for usb cables around here!That ebay link is up to $7.29 now - better than anything I've found on Amazon, but I'm in no hurry. I ordered some from FT instead for $1.20 ea. It looks like the same exact 4' cord.

SKU 3614900

Thanks for the heads up. Sure beats the 4" version IPV sent with it.

Does your ipv d2 get warm/hot when charging

I rarely charge my batteries inside mods, however I make exceptions for single 18650's in a pinch. My D2 will get a little warm after being on the charger for a while. Unless it's getting excessively hot, I wouldn't worry.

I almost never use the built in charger, I just swap batteries. I might charge it some in the car if I've been away from home and need to boost the charge a little but that's it and only rarely. That said it's never gotten more than a little warm when I have. If plugging it in to charge discharges instead then either the charging circuit or your battery has an issue.

what he said
i do the exact same thing
i keep the charging cable in the car for a pinch and it only gotten some what warm to the touch

WHile internal charging SHOULD be safe....IF DONE RIGHT, think about this

mods are costing 30-60 each
with tons of stuff built in

consider building your own mod.
the parts W/O a board run 30-50 alone

now look at the price of a good 2 bay charger..$10-15

so lets see 30 for your own parts w/o a board, $10 for a charger thats $40 alone and then add in the board

While im not saying that for the price of 30-60 you cant get a board that has good reliable built in charging, but where's the rrom for profit if you do?

I would rather trust a seperate charge for all my batteries. do i want a mod to have built in charging??? YES most certainly, so on the rare occasion I forget batteries or whatever I can use the on board charging in a pinch, but I would never rely on it
AND EVEN IF they built in the on board charging and theres nothing wrong with it. WHat happens if something goes wrong with the charging? then you may fry the mod too and your out a mod now
and if you rely soley on the on board charging you are limite dto waiting for it to recharge to get going again
