I'll always back sigelei, I have the 150 watt and a 30 watt mini. Both are still kicking, with no issues.
IPV4 or Sigelei 150W?

I've owned both a Sigelei 150 and an IPV4.
As others in this thread have said, the Sigelei is a brick. Mine took a tumble onto asphalt from 6 feet, and survived.
The only issue I have with the Sig, is how it feels in the hand. It has been a solid mod otherwise.
It was recently passed forward to a friend who was ready to step into the sub ohm tank world.
The IPV4 has held up very well (black), no scratches in the paint. I just recently received the silicone case for mine, and I like it even more now.
My main concern with the IPV4:
-The charging board. Which really should be removed, due to the issues folks are experiencing. There have been reports of the charging board shifting, and causing a hard short on the 510. This has happened to people who are NOT using the on board charging. I've removed mine without an issue. (Two hex screws, clip three wires, cap the wires, replace the screws).
-The battery sled holds batteries in place a little TOO well. While it has a strip to remove the batteries easily, using it results in the wrap on the battery tearing/bending on the pos/neg terminals.
I would suggest holding both the sig150 and ipv4 in your hand before making a decision. Personally, the ergonomics of the IPV4 are worth having to remove the charging board, and re-wrapping two sets of batteries every week.

I have the Sig 150 love it, would like it better if it was a little smaller, it is quite large. But it is still awesome.
Thats exactly right and the biggest negative for a lot of folks . If you have seen one opened up it's a mess lol, very thin outer housing compared to P4U's past mods .
Check this out:
From the factory, the IPV4 has a defect that can possibly become dangerous.
