mod dilemma

[ironmunky]

Okay so a few new mods have been released or are scheduled for release pretty soon. They all seem to have their pros and cons, and I'm having trouble choosing one.
I basically narrowed it down to 3. The Cloupor T5, The sigelei 100w, and the iPV 3 from Pioneer 4 you. Am I missing anything?

I don't really like the shape of the T5, just seems to be too 'bulgy' to walk around with in your pocket. I do like the price, and I like that it's readily available. (if anyone has one I'm also interested in what the big firmware update was all about, hear it raises it to 75w?)

The sigelei 100w seems okay. I don't like that there's no way to plug in and charge it. I also understand it's not really 100 watt unless you sub ohm.

The iPV 3 is pretty close to perfect to me, but by my calculations I wouldn't be vaping on it until Halloween. And things seem to change when pre-ordering, I already hear P4Y has nixed the charging cable that was to come with the iPV 3 and that you would have to buy your own, not a deal breaker or anything but considering the amount of time before they start shipping there's a lot that might be subtracted from it.

Let me know if there's another regulated mod I've overlooked.

I am going to be honest with you... T5 was a totally messed up update. There is no 75 update. If you did it I feel sorry for you and you need to contact cloupor to get the link for the downgrade or find it on the threads of the cloupor that I have been on. Now I do not use 50w so it still works for me. If I need to go above 30 I go with my mech. Now the T5 is a good device but, do not depend on the updates that they put out right now. Wait until others blow up their devices. People do not do the math of the 10a limit on the device and make it harder on the rest of us. Put a .2 ohm on the device and crank it up to 75 with bad firmware will blow your device.
Alright enough rambling. I use my T5 everyday. Just the company did a poor job and with the 1.31 (I think) firmware fix to back to 50w has way way better battery life. So I can not complain about that. There is another techy guy like me on the forum that has done all the tests with everything with it.
About the update and the failures.
Cloupor T5 update
As I said I am a daily user of the device but, remember they all have the upside and downside.
Cloupor feel good in the hand and works for my needs right now. The price was right and my kayfuns work great with it.

T6 and T8 just saw some pre orders on either VaporTek and/or Kidney Puncher...

I'd go with at least 2x18650 or the 26650 ... Smy God has 3x18650...

Anything with just 1x 18650 is a dealbreaker even if using .8 to 1 ohms imo... my range is .6 to 1 ohms and even with 4 reg mods (dual 18650's) I'm still charging 2 sets a day.

fwiw my Clouper DNDA30 using at 18 - 20w and .9 to 1 ohms, batt goes down with every draw... lol. seems like.

Yeah I saw the God mod for pre-order, I just never saw a good pic of it that gives a size comparison. Using 3 18650s I'd assume it's huge. I also liked the vapor flask version 2, but it's pricy.

I've been enjoying my update-free T5 for a few days now. I expect Cloupor will have the update for it soon enough. I will say that I agree with you on it's size. It is very comfortable to use and easy to operate, but it doesn't strike me as pocket friendly. I bought mine mostly for use at home. My Cloupor 30 watt now gets the out and about duty.

I had the same list except istead of a t5 I had an ipv2 in place. I pulled the trigger on a ipv3 earlier this month and I expect ppl will start getting their ipv3 pre-orders in another week or two. Of course ordering now yeah it might be a bit longer. I was hesitant about the t8 because it did not seem to have much of a warranty. The P4Y stuff is 12mth but ppl with the ipv2 found out they had to pay shipping both ways and are not happy about it.

If you can wait you could wait until the peer reviews come out on them and then decide which ones are less fickle. The second batch of the ipv2's are coming out and issues with the first run should be addressed.

Ipv3 or 100w sigelei, for me id wait till the ipv3
