Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Very good box with the misleading name… because if it fits well in the hand its qualifier mini is badly chosen with regard to its direct competitors (mini cloupor and istick 30w) which do much better in terms of size. I also find that the coating is also “too” light… not protective enough, or not of good enough quality, the box gets scratched very very quickly.
The interface screen is mirrored ... Ok that's the most beautiful effect, but you will be unable to read anything in direct sunlight ... you have been warned.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
Many functions are available on paper ... but some of these seem obsolete to me like for example the functions DC-DC and PWN which for me resemble very the mean and rms mode of the vamo. These two functions have been simplified by most manufacturers in favor of the DC-DC (RMS) mode, the only one capable of giving a smooth and regular vape.
For the record, the PWN mode is a so-called “pulsed” mode which will tend to create a good number of dry hits, especially on high powers.
Finally, if the box also offers a power bank function via its usb port, remember that the energy reserve is directly dependent on the charge level of your battery 🙂!

The mood ticket of the reviewer
What to think of a box called “mini” which is not really, which chooses to bring out old useless and forgotten functions?
And good, because it works well and does what is asked of it (except coffee).
A bad point, however, for its very (too) fragile coating, the ipv series had accustomed us to better quality ...
