I don't even think there is a general consensus that the IPV is better\best at this point. It has the highest specs of the current crop of commonly bought or reviewed stuff.

The beauty of vaping to me (other than i quit smoking) is that it is equal parts finesse. Just having the most power battery or the biggest atty won't win the race. It is wicking, coil building skills. Building the best performer for a given device. All that stuff.

With some unconfirmed reports of melting battery compartments on the IPV's i would wait before I went that route. After a month my Sigelei is still rock solid.

Coil build means nothing. With massive amounts of airflow it cools the vape immensely. I used a dual .38 ohm 26 gauge dual parallel coil 7 wraps on my plumeveil. Reduced the chamber by opening the airflow on top and it made a very very nice warm vape. The IPV3 and Sigelei 100 are about the best mods for high wattage at a cheap price.

Well a bit of advice to bring your resistance up but still get a warm vape almost everyone out there on the cloud chasing scene fails to look at because they want the latest and greatest. 9 times out of 10, a .25 to .45 ohm build inside a narrow or reduced chamber rda, examples the Atomic, Igo-W, Nimbus, are just as warm as a .14 to .18 inside a Patriot. So that is something to consider.

I guess you're right sketch. I'm too dumb to figure out this equal parts finesse lol

This is absolutely not what I am saying. Hell, I wrap one coil well also. 6 wraps of 26 on this one drill bit. it always comes out right around .4 I try other stuff but keep coming back to this build. works great in my igo w-3. Have a veritas clone coming in the mail that will force me to build differently. Vertical coils!

What I am saying is there are so many ways to get a great vape. Some will say it is all about airflow. But airflow over a poorly built or matched coil won't solve your problem. Just as a great coil will suffer with crappy airflow. It is really that perfect match of airflow, wicking, coil, and power. A regulated mod lets you cheat and overcome the power dilemma. A mech won't allow this.
 
I break my mods very easily I've finally found one that I can beat the crap out of and its still good cartel limeted edition by infinite this bad boy can handle anyone:)
