For many vape makers, the emergence of salt nicotine and liquids based on it was a new round in development, because it allowed them to attract a lot of users. But for some companies modern trends became something not quite clear, and their attempts to release POD-systems and sub-mods were not always successful. This was the situation with the company IPV she repeatedly presented compact sub-mods, but for some reason they could not compete with devices from Voopoo, Smok, Eleaf and Geekvape. Having decided to correct their mistake, the company released IPV A1 POD kit, which, although similar to a number of devices from Voopoo (attentive vapers will immediately see it familiar outline), but has a number of certain features that can interest vapers, such as the use of the legendary YiHi chipset, standing in line with boards from Evolv.

General Info

IPV A1 POD kit” is a medium sized sub-mod, equipped with a powerful built-in battery, running the YiHi SX380 chipset and designed to use interchangeable vaporizers. The appearance of the new device will not be a novelty, as similar round pod-mods on the market represent quite a few, but this does not make it inconvenient to use. Despite the fact that the device is equipped with YiHi SX380, the functionality is quite modest and preheating, but for most vapers this is enough. canadian vape shop toronto The cartridge is designed for installation of interchangeable vaporizers, which the manufacturer is silent. You can buy IPV A1 POD kit” in five colors: bronze, copper, gradient blue, gun metal and black.

Kit

We cannot say that IPV products are as much in demand as devices from other Chinese manufacturers, but it has earned a lot of credibility with its YiHi chips, which are known for their reliability and performance. The company does not often release new devices, which has led many vapers to forget about it, and those few devices that appear on the market do not become a hit. IPV repeatedly tried to release its own version of the pod-mod, but somehow did it not quite successfully, at least in the Russian vape market such devices from IPV have not caught on. IPV A1 POD kit” is another attempt to prove itself, but it’s hard to say yet whether such device can compete with devices from other companies.

IPV A1 POD kit” does not look particularly original – it is a round device with a slightly recessed control panel. Naturally, it is very similar to sub-mods from Voopoo and Eleaf, but we can not say that this is bad, because in use it is unlikely to be criticized. The device is not particularly large 95*28 mm, with a weight of 95.5 grams. The body is made of aluminum and stainless steel, thanks to which you can give the device a plus sign in karma.

The maximum power of the sub-mod is 50 watts, and it is provided by the built-in battery of 2000 mAh, which is not so bad for a device of this format. The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector, located on the bottom end of the device.

Naturally, the biggest and most important feature of the IPV A1 POD kit is the YiHi SX380 chipset, which, although not particularly functional, is able to somewhat surprise. In addition to the standard Varivatte, working with 5-50 watts of power, the vaper waits Curve mode or preheating, available in three variants normal, soft and strong, thanks to which you can choose the optimal mode of operation.

The device is equipped with a small monochrome display, on which you can find information about the operation of the device vaporizer resistance, voltage, power, preheat mode and battery level.

Alas, at the moment there is no information about what type of vaporizers and resistance are used in this device, even on its official website the manufacturer did not inform about it (such attitude is a big minus for IPV company). In the battery pack, the cartridge is held by magnets.

It is worth noting that the IPV A1 POD kit” provides blowing control, implemented by rotating the ring located directly under the cartridge.

In order to refill the cartridge, you need to take it out of the battery pack, open the small silicone plug on the bottom and pour 4 ml of liquid.

Conclusions and impressions

Strangely enough, but to IPV A1 POD kit” more questions than answers, as the device is not innovative and not the most relevant. But due to the good chipset YiHi, ease of use and good autonomy pod-mod is sure to find its buyer.
