Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review I take a look at the IPV U710 from Pioneer4You. The IPV U710 was supplied for the purpose of this review on behalf of the YiHi Group by David from SXMini.
iPV U710
Introduction
Pioneer4you (iPV) are part of the YiHi group along with their big brother SX Mini and younger sibling VSticking! Products from both iPV and VSticking have been virtually non existent in recent times but as the YiHi group in general start to ramp it up with new products and more in the pipeline we have the follow up to the revamped IPV V200, the IPV U710.
The IPV U710 like the V200 has a waterproofed chipset this time the SX710 which like the SX351 is an unusual chipset for YiHi as it doesn't have TC but just Power and both pre-set and adjustable curves. It has 80w top power output, Type C USB with 2A charging and can fit up to 26mm in diameter atomisers despite being such a small device and having a top battery cap! I really liked the V200 and have been enjoying testing the U710 for a while so let's dig deeper!

1 IPV U710 Box Mod
1 Type-C USB Cable
1 Warranty Card
1 User Manual

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The IPV U710 comes in quite simple yet classy looking White cardboard with fold over lid display box which all the YiHi Groups products are packed in, On the reverse we have all contents, specs, branding etc!
On opening the device is proudly sat on display, I received the Black version according to the box but it actually has a Gunmetal main chassis, the options are Black or Space block but as just mentioned they look to have a Gunmetal chassis rather than Black!
The IPV U710 has a Picoesque type of design with space saving top battery cap allowing for the device to be even shorter than the battery to be installed, the very substantial height of the battery cap is a good indicator to just how small this device is and with the use of internal plastic, and outer shell combining both Aluminium and Zinc Alloy it's also very light compared to the average single 18650 device!
Unlike the Pico the U710 deploys a side screen as seen on other Picoesque type devices which I actually like as it allows for nicely spread buttons down the front edge, I particularly like the top large fire button which has that (Spin the black circle) circular grooved design, below we have smaller but matching navigational buttons followed by a vertically positioned Type C USB port!
As well as the main chassis we have a panel each side with outer bracket, one side panel integrates the colour display and we then have "in your face!" branding which I think looks cool but I know there are plenty in the other camp that will completely get turned off preferring a more sleek, classy look! The other side panel as all the safety stamps again "In your face!" and even I don't like this, why couldn't these be printed on the base?
The base and spine are featureless, moving up top we have a 24mm Stainless Steel 510 plate towards the front and tall battery cap with 5 venting holes towards the rear, the 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded! AS mentioned despite happily being able to accommodate up to 26mm atomisers without overhang this device is tiny and just gets swallowed up in the hand, ergonomically it's my kind of device!

Fitting The Battery
The IPV U710 has a Pico style top battery cap that screws on and off the device, the bottom positive plate is spring loaded so the battery gets pushed down as the cap is secured so no battery rattle is possible. I also like this way of fitting a battery not just because of the space saving qualities but you also can't damage your wraps, the downside is the cap limits what size atomiser can be installed but being a single 18650 device and allowing up to 26mm in diameter atomisers to be installed this ticks many boxes!
A couple of petty cons, the threading isn't bad but just slightly crunchy and although the battery fits the usual positive down and positive is vibrantly labelled inside the tube I still wish negative was marked in White on the underside of the cap!
_________________________________________________________________________
The Display
The Display is bright and has aesthetically pleasing fused accents going from a Spring Green to Dark Orange, it's also very nicely laid out!
Top left we have the pre-set or curve and then top right a battery status bar, I really would also prefer the charge given as a percentage! Underneath we have the wattage and then underneath the wattage within an accented area the puff count. Below the puff count we first have the voltage followed by resistance and finally at the very bottom of the display the vape duration!
