Best temp control device

I am getting an ipv4. I started a review channel for people on a budget. When I review it I will let you know but for me even if temp control isn't the greatest it's a decent price to start. But from what I have read yihi does temp control better than evolv. The yihi board is in the ipv4 and all the ipv series so I would say this is a great buy.
This is kind of like asking "What's the best car for me to buy?" Your gonna get lots of opinions and different answers. Check them all out, watch reviews of these devices on youtube and chose one for yourself based on your style and budget. FOr what its worth, I'm partial to my RDNA 40 Vaporshark.
Putting in a vote for an SX Mini. Haven't used one myself, but I've seen lots of reviews where people tout it as being FAR superior to the Evolv board. Odd, I didn't expect that from a Chinese-made board.
"Far superior"? That is a stretch, they do the same thing, with the main difference being one reads in (a more confusing) jules and the other in watts. I have 2 rDNA40's and they accomplish exactly what they are suppose to.
Mod build quality is a major factor in how well the board will function, so IMO is worth spending extra to get a mod that has a history of doing things the right way. I can personally vouch for the rDNA40/DNA40, they are built to last. I don't have the SX Mini, but everything I have seen would imply it is also very well made. I would suggest one of those two over the less expensive options. Both are priced right where they should be, the mods priced less had to cut corners somewhere to bring the prices down.
I have a Vaporshark rDNA40, SX Mini M Class, IPV4, and a Vaporflask clone with the DNA40 board. The big difference between the Evolv DNA40 board and the YiHi board is that the DNA40 board automatically detects the coil resistance (when you put a tank on the mod, it prompts you to indicate whether you have put on a new atomizer or if it is the old atomizer). With the YiHi board, you manually set the resistance by pushing the up and down buttons simultaneously. The problem with nickel coils is that the resistance of the coil will change based on the temperature of the coil. So with the YiHi board mods (the SX Mini M Class and the IPV4), you must make sure that the atomizer/tank/coil is at room temperature when you put it on the mod and set the resistance, otherwise the resistance will be off.
Outside of that, there really is not much of a difference. The SX Mini M Class with the YiHi SX350J board, does have one feature that does not appear in the IPV4 with the YiHi SX330 V4S chip. The SX350J offers 4 different modes of Soft, Standard, Powerful and Powerful+. Both goes up to 50 joules in temp control mode and the SX350J goes up to 60 watts in wattage mode while the SX330 V4S goes up to 100 watts in wattage mode. The DNA40 goes up to 40 watts. With temp control coils, the SX350J will operate from 0.06 ohms up to 0.3 ohms while the SX330 V4S will operate from 0.12 ohms up to 1 ohm. The DNA40 operates from 0.1 ohm up to 1 ohm.
Personally, I prefer the Vaporshark rDNA40 because of the small form factor. I also like the IPV4 because of the greater battery life with the 2 18650 batteries, however it is on the big side. The SX Mini M Class does have a richer feature set, but it is slightly bigger than the rDNA40 and it is heavy, it weighs almost as much as the IPV4 with both batteries in it.

You didn't ask for the cheapest, you asked for the best.
When you get an IPV4 and realize that it doesn't save temperature settings in memory like the SX Mini does, it doesn't have USB charging like the SX Mini does, it has a cheap plastic mirror cover to hide the oversized and ugly hole that the display is sitting in that also makes seeing the display difficult, it has a more restrictive ohm and temperature range than the SX Mini does, and it doesn't come with a 1 year warranty like the SX Mini does you'll know why the SX Mini costs more.
Actually, the IPV4 does have a micro USB port at the bottom of the mod, although you are correct in that plugging a micro USB charger cord into it does nothing. I believe that the micro USB port is used to connect in order to update the firmware?
I absolutely HATE the display on the IPV4. The display is so dim and with the shiny mirror plastic cover over the display, it is absolutely unreadable in sunlight. If I am in my car during the daytime and want to adjust the settings on the IPV4, it is impossible to see what you are adjusting. Although I suppose the mirror surface can come in handy if someone needs to check their makeup.
