Disappointed in IPV5

[gcabaltica]

I would take the ipv III and ipv III Li over all the others but i like all aluminum . The price tag on the ipv V is a win win anyway you look at it , for $34.95 thats insane even if the build isn't as good as it could be .

Baffling to me why people still choose iSticks over mods of this caliber lol.

Wasn't it the IPV 3 that had the IPV2 style Topside Touch Button that basically didn't have any hardware circuitry connected to it? It's been a long time but I sold mine because I didn't like the shape . . I say that yet I have an HOHM Wrecker G2 which is about as "Box" as you can get, go figure.

The 3-LI has a working touch sensor and is sturdier than the 4s.

Yeah , they aren't the most ergonomic mods compared to the new ones lol. I hate those touch sensors , i have an iPV 2S 60 watt that has that touch sensor and an iPV 2X that has it enabled .

I turn it off and it comes back on after a while on the X model , a big PITA.

Bottom line, Love'em or hate'em, with the Yihi sx330's, Pioneer IPV's are the best mods out there under $75.

For mass production $100+/100w+, aside from the DNA's, the HOHM Wrecker G2 is an absolute beast and built like an anvil. The best non-DNA/SX350J mod I've used, actually/arguably on par since it can temp control Kanthal.

Unfortunately, all the local shops only carry Kanger and Sigelei but they are waaaaay over priced. I support them whenever I can but I'm not paying $100 for a Subox mini or $125 for a Sigelei 150w.

I have to base a great deal of my purchases on online recommendations.

Same here. I try to give the local shops a little business, but not buying mods or hardware there. I'll get a few bottles of juice a month. I know they can't compete with online vendors, but $85 for an IPV5... and $45 for a TFV4...
