iPV3 150w v.s Sigelei 100W (Help me decide)

[NightSky]

Help me pick between these two vw mods.

Imo...

iPV3 150w

pros:
better specs

cons:
fake touch sensor (isn't hooked up)
$30 more
not sure how firing from those buttons would feel


sigelei 100W

pros:
slightly cheaper
large button would probably feel more appealing

cons:
inferior specs
problem with adjusting center pin on 510 connection, making it so some atty's can't sit flush

Jury still out?

I have heard negatives about both like the Sigeli 100w cant handle certain tanks and the new IPV3 has a sensor issue.

I have the v3 and i messed with the sig100w. Here is the skinny...the v3 is nice...it feels good in the hands and is more visually appealing imo. The v3 sensor doesn't work and there is no pass through at all. you cant even charge with a dc or ac charger even though it says u can. the only way is to completely mod it i assume and i wont do that. the v3 has screws that suck and you have to remove two to get to the batteries to change them. in addition to changing the batteries when u change them your presets get reset and you have to set them all over again. although the battery life is good, by good i mean 2-3 days for me, it is still annoying that you have to unscrew the back, lose your presets and no pass through or charging port. the led display is nice but the sig100w is better to me because the battery part on the sig shows a battery and a percentage that is left.

sig100w is a rectangle with now visual appeal. it is nice and functions well and my local vape shop likes it and one of the guys there has been using it for a few days and has no complaint. there is no pass through on this one either but the back door is magnetic so it is easier to change out the batteries. as for presets idk but i hope they dont get erased on the sig. the sig display is also nicer imo than the v3. i liked the idea that i could grow in the v3 as needed and could stay with this for a long time. the 510 pin on the v3 i also an improvement as it is spring loaded. my atty likes this connector.

for me and only for me i vape at 26w on my aspire atlantis tank and i'm using high vg juice somewhere around 90/10. no problems on the v3 mod and it produces lots of vapor. if I had to choose one or the other I think I would choose the v3 just bc I can go higher in watts in the long run. I can also do a magnet conversion on my v3 later after the warranty is out. there are some tutorial videos on youtube right now on how to do this if you are wondering. good luck. if you really want a pass through i would suggest looking at a custom build or ipv2x. the v2x is a single battery but the touch sensor works and if you don't need the touch sensor you can disable and then later enable it. the pass through is a micro usb, which everyone has. the door is still screws but you can fix that with 3/16th in earth magnets i think and a drill bit...but it will prob void the warranty. hope this was helpful.

I forgot to mention that the sig fire button is awesome compared to the v3 but i still have the v3 and prob wont buy the sig just because i spent too much already. in the near future i might replace my button for a bigger cooler button lol

I was in the same place as you yesterday, I ended up going to my local B&M and playing with them both.

The IPV did feel a little better in my hand but I hated the fire button on it. I really liked the floating pin on the Sigelei, and the fact it came with a rubber case.

I didn't think I would need the extra power since I mostly have my RTA and vape around 30 watts, so I chose the Sig+.

Sigelei 150 watt, it is like the v3 and the sig had a baby. The new sig is 150 watts, has magnets for the back panel, has a spring loaded 510 pin, has a more appealing look, and the back panel is recessed for less chance of ejuice getting in through the seam.

I have the sig100 and no complaints except for the lack of a 510 floating pin, and the look of a brick. that has been fixed with the 150, and the black buttons look really nice as well on the new 150.

My advice is get the new sig 150 watt.

 

[blahzx]

my friend has a ipv3 and i like borrowing it

 

[DadEh]

Get the Sig 100w plus. This has the floating centre pin/ no adjustments.
As for inferior specs, not a biggie for me as I can increase/decrease wattage and do what the box is made for.... To vape
Just my 2 cents
