I sold the IPV3 so I could get a sigelei 100w Plus. I just like the buttons on the sigelei better. I also like how the screen info is boxed on the sigelei.
The extra 50 watts could be relevant for future use. A guy at work has the IPV 3 and loves it. He has had it for months with no issues. Great performance and long battery life. He usually only rocks it at 50 watts with an Atlantis tank but has put a few RBAs on there with 1.5 or higher builds at higher wattage. Great performance!
Reading along, i found that the ipv3 has auite ja lot of problems, same goes to the sigelei. I bought the sigelei 100w plus, and let me tell you, its amazing, I love it, all the issues were resolved.
I was in the same boat and bought the 100+ from sigelei. Trouble free, great battery life, looks spiffy, great buttons, strong magnetic back with no screws, the pros go on and on IMO.
Went with the IPV. So far, so good. Works as it should. Couple things I don't like. The charging cable that is listed on the box as included, actually isn't. Because of this, I have to remove the batteries to charge them externally, which means the cool memory settings reset to default every time. Total drag...I don't know what charging cable to buy for it...the connection looks like a 9 volt.
Other than that, happy.

That's exactly why I bought the 2S instead of the 3. I heard you aren't supposed to charge to charge the 3 due to charging issues with the two batteries.
I have a ivp3 and yea its pretty awesome but the soldering on the wire for the spring battery contact broke and now i can use it till i can get home from work in a month most box mods like that arent built that good and really i wish i would have waited and got the sigelei 150 watt that my friends shop just got in a week after i bought the ivp3
I have both the Sigelei and the IPV 3. They're both fine mods but the magnets on the Sigelei's door make it my go to mod while the IPV3 languishes in the box for when the Sigelei finally craps out.
Keep in mind that your IPV 3 is also waterproof and I believe the Sigelei isn't. Perhaps you will want to use your IPV for those situations where you might be out in the weather.
I have the IPV 3 and I really like it. It is a pain to have to unscrew the back every time you change the batteries but it's not a deal killer for me. I would buy another one. I haven't used the Sigelei though.
What's funny is the iPV group I belong to on Facebook are already reporting rumors of an iPV 4 by Feb. I haven't seen any sources yet though. But if true, I assume it would be using an SX 350 chip.
