Hey guys, been debating which one of these to get for a couple months now.. Just wondering what the voltage range on each is? I believe the ipv goes up to 8.4.. And which one of these is bigger, the Sig?

Now I'm thinking I might just wait until December for the newer/updated (or limited edition) versions to come out, or maybe pre-order one of them.. I want a dual-18650, at least 100watts. I'm sure ill be happy with whichever I choose, but want to make the right decision
:)
edit:
... Sorry I know there's 100 threads like this. But maybe you guys could help me decide. Thanks!

Let's throw the newest versions of the brands into my question as well.. for example, was just looking at the Sig150 pre-order. I see it goes from 6.4-8.4volts, but I'm seeing 2 different dimensions posted on 2 websites:
103 x 57 x 23mm
96 x 54 x 23mm

... obviously nobody has the Sigelei150w yet so I doubt anyone confirm which 1 of these dimensions is correct.. But what about the others, how do they compare in size and Voltage range?
These new versions coming out are really throwing me for a loop. I can wait a few more weeks for sure, but don't know which 1 to buy or pre-order!!

Suggestions will be very much appreciated! :D

I'm seeing that different websites are posting different dimensions for these devices, just wondering which is correct?
... It seems like the IPV3 is the biggest.

Also, how low does the voltage for all of these go? And how high?

And if the devices says it goes down to 10watts - if I had a 1.5ohm coil on it, will it not fire below 3.9volts (10.1watts)??

Fwiw, i own both the ipv2 and ipv3. Have used both everyday since i recieved them. No problems. As for a 1.5 build, couldn't tell you, haven't tried. A question for your vaping taste though, would you want to go below 10 watts at 1.5 ohm? When i used my vamo or mvp with the nautlius 10, 11, watts was pertty damn good.
. I got these for more effecient sub-ohm vaping.
Ipv3 is a handful size wise but dual battery life was worth the extra bulk imo.
Held the segeli 100, didn't like the button. The research i did before purchase seemed to also show more recomendations for the Ipv line, less issues. But of course only the people who have issues will complain so without knowing number of units sold to compare that info is sorta use less.
My advice given their just about equals is find vape shop, hold both, see which feels right and ask questions.
I will add i have heard that ipv warranty help is a pita, but i've never had to use it so......not sure about segeli warranty.

Sorry for the scatter thoughts but hope it helps.

I was just using 1.5ohms as a point of reference.. So 10 watts is as low as it will go, regardless of how low the voltage goes? I'm also seeing different specs posted on different websites - I'm wondering what is the the true voltage range, size, and watt range of these devices.
.... My buddy has the IPV2 and he loves it, I really like the look and size of it. How much bigger is the IPV3 compared to the 2? I don't want it to be too big but 2 18650's will be awesome. I wish the IPV3 had the Sig100's firing button lol

I'm stuck between the IPV3 (or any newer versions of it coming out), the Sigelei 100watt plus (+ model coming out in a couple weeks), and the Sigelei 150w (coming out in early December I believe). I want to decide before the pre-order's run out, if I end up going for one of those.
:p
Thanks guys!

And I'll be using these for my dripper's mainly but it would be nice to slap my Aerotank on there as well. I often rebuild them with single-microcoils, around 1.8-2ohms and run them about 7-8watts. And those new Kanger sub-ohm coils (0.8-1ohm) I like around 3.6-3.9volts.

I really want a device that can handle it all. Just trying to find out the spec's for each device (IPV3, Sig 150w, Sig100w+ plus).
.. And the SIZE for each. Which is bigger? And how much bigger than the IPV2?

I might just go ahead with the IPV3.. :)
It is a bit bigger than the sig (I think??) and more expensive, but it goes from 1-7volts, and up to 150watts, and it's available now! It also goes down to 0.1ohm if I ever want too, and I can charge it on-board, if I buy the $20 charger..

Slips, how much larger is the IPV3 compared to the IPV2? Does it really go down to 7watts and 1volt? And is 7volts as high as it goes, or does it go to 8v?

edit:
After reading further, think I might for the Sig150w.. See, this is why it takes me months to decide. Maybe I'll wait for the Sig500w plus model with bluetooth and Itunes upgradable capabilities

I have the ipv3 and it really is a good unit at least mine is. So far I have not heard of to many problems other than the asmods thing and the additional charge for the charger. Really either the Sig or the ipv will be a solid choice it seems. The Sig can be found for around 80ish $ and the ipv is a little more.

I feel, IF the sig150 is as good as the sig 100 has been for me, it will be the unit I purchase for these reasons:
It has the spring loaded 510, which was a big selling point of the IPV3
I like the back panel more on the Sigelei, because it does not have a seam on the top of the unit for juice to run into, and magnets
is 23mm wide instead of 22mm like the IPV3 is. (could be wrong on this point)

I also like the bigger button of the sig100, and the sigelei150watt has an even better looking button with the indented face. Looks like it will be a lot more comfortable.
And it looks a lot better now, with the polished edges, which I liked on the IPV3.

just make the ohm reader read down to 100th of an ohm, please!!!

Its definitely between the Sig150w and IPV3!! Will the sign only go down to like 6volts? And the IPV3 only goes up to 7?
... i want something to handle my sub-ohm RDA builds, and also high-ohm/high voltage vaping if I get into it. And also, my Kanger tanks with rebuilt single micro coils, and sub ohm coils at lower voltages..

And smaller would be better, to fit into my pocket. I'm hoping to decide soon. I wish I could mix the best features of each.
Maybe the Sig150 will have great specs, and hopefully a better looking display
