IPV3 ... A closer look.

[herb]

As I stated before. The ipv3 is a beast and it's an awesome device. Just because someone else doesn't like it doesn't mean you shouldn't get one. No touch sensor, who cares. Can't charge correctly,
Who cares just charge the batteries like every other battery.

People are only stating their cons. They aren't giving you the whole story which states the ipv3 is a performance beast. This thing can handle anything you put on it and the battery life is awesome. I have no doubts in purchasing mine and have not had a single problem .

Who cares , c, mon man . These things were promised to be functional and available on it when most ordered it , anybody not getting what they thought they paid for would be furious plain and simple .

Nobody is complaining about the performance , none of these complaints are about performance actually , it's about the other stuff .

My ipv performed fantastic until it died after a month.

Ok, I got mine last week and immediately had to go out of town for work.

I only had one set of 30 amp batteries and it was a pain cause I had to pull them out at night, charge them, and put them back in the next morning.

Upon my return, I had vape mail in the form of batteries and have been fairly happy with the unit overall.

I change my batteries out each morning and vape all day, very happy that I only have to open it up in the morning to swap out my batteries.

I have not had a way to verify if it has a balanced charging circuit and quite frankly, I don't care. I simply do not trust P4U on this, I'll just keep swapping out for a fresh set every morning.

Now, after vaping every atty I have, not one of them is pleasant above 30 watts.

So my opinion, don't waste your money on more power, it is just isn't useful. If you want to experience 150 watt vaping, just go suck on a hair dryer and you'll get the same effect.

I hear of a few people vaping around 50 watts, and I suppose on some of the really thick juices and heavy gauge wires, it may be warranted. But I primarily use 28 and 26 gauge wires and most of the time I am at 20 watts. I have one atty that seems to like 30 watts and it is using a 26 gauge setup.

On a positive note, this is the only mod I have that will effectively fire a quad coil build on the 454 Big Block atty, but what a major P.I.T.A. to build and wick....

I completely understand and I'm upset about it too, but it wouldn't change my mind about getting an ipv3, if I was looking At one. It performs how it is supposed to and is a great device. Most people always have to use a charger, so it's nothing different. And no other device has the touch sensor, so it's not like you're losing something you would use daily.

Of course I agree with you and I agree that the things mentioned should be taken care of, but it's still a good device and I think that people should know that.

Remember, the wattage, is all about the build you have and airflow. What type of attys are you referring too because it sounds like your airflow isn't good enough, or wicking could be a problem too. My mutation x rda will vape at the 150watt setting perfectly fine with full flavor and no burnt or bad tasting hit. Of course , I usually only vape it between 50-80 watts on that rda. Most of my other ones I use between 30-60 watts.

I wouldn't tell people that more power isn't useful and it's wasting money. Clearly you have not experienced a good enough setup to justify your answer. Remember that a lot of people bought the device for battery life, not just 150 watts.

100% correct. All the attys I use on my IPV3 are over 30 watts. I run my KFL+ at 32-ish watts, my magma at 39-ish watts and my mutation x at 60-ish watts. For the KFL and the Magma, those are the upper limits for the way I build and the airflow I like. With the mutation, I can run it at 150 if I want to drain 40 drops of juice in about a second but, for all day, regular vaping, 60 watts hits the spot without using too much juice.

Hell ya. Lol

This is all true, however higher wattage does not equate to bigger clouds and better flavor as many erroneously believe.
Again it goes back to air flow and coil build, you can blow just as big of clouds, and get just as good of a vape at 20w as you can at 100w
Higher watts, lower resistance = less voltage applied
Lower wattage higher resistance = more voltage applied
Im not saying higher wattage is useless, but instead I'm saying it isn't really necessary.
You wouldn't want to vape Magma with a 1.4 ohm build at 60w because that would be one seriously hot vape.
But at 20-30 watts will give you an awesome dense flavorful cloud
Now put a 0.2ohm single parallel coil in it 20-30 will become too cool to produce a satisfying vape, but at 60w you are back to blowing dense flavorful clouds.

I'm of the mind that the vaping industry is pushing higher wattage for wattage sake, and believe that Evolv has hit the nail on the head with the DNA40 and temperature regulation.

While very true, I clearly stated this was "my opinion", and in my opinion, it was more expense and power than is really warranted. Your mileage may vary...

I do enjoy the battery life though...

Okay, well don't take it offensive. I was just explaining a few things you mentioned. I understand your point.
