sorry to hijack your thread TC but im also looking for a recommendation..

IPV4s vs Sigelei 150 vs SX mini? or is a 70w mod enough generally?
To me , the IPv4s has a cheap feel and look to me, but it works great. For the Sx mini I find the auto rotating screen annoying and it has too much options in the menu, I like things simple and easy.

IMO a 70w mod is alr good enough as for me i feel that i dont have the need to go so high in watts. Normally vape at 27-34w and the flavour is nice and warm enough for me.

Haha, even though I have a d2 that can go up to 75w, the largest wattage I ever vape at is at 35 watts for my dual coil goblin mini.

I feel that P4Y and SX makes one of the most ergonomic box mod. Their mod follow the curve of the hand better and thus more comfortable to hold. Something to consider if you are looking to buy a new mod.

My 2 cents worth (based on my usage of my own x cube 2 and my friend's snow wolf)

If you wanna build dual coils etc, try to get a mod that can go over 80w.

Snow wolf v1.5
(from what I gather from their site, v2 won't be out till feb)
1) pulsing. Anything after 150w it'll pulse, so it's not true 200w. (Read it online)
2) not upgradable. (So totally no support for better TC or newer coils)
3) not sure if you can support SS on TC Mode.

Smok X cube 2
1) TC not very reliable (many problems reported online)
2) upgradable (used to be 160w now it's 180w with better TC, reportedly)
3) firing button may be a problem in the future (spoils easily I guess)
4) support Ni, Ti And SS
5) bright and colorful firing bar (but can be switched off)

But nevertheless, I still went with the x cube 2 over the snow wolf. In hopes that they will push out more updates that fixes the TC. As for the firing button, I'll gamble with it. It it kaputs, it's a chance for me to dismantle it and try to fix it. :)

And lastly, I'm just itching to try SS on the TC Mode. And it can set the resistance coefficient.

after my ipvd2 die, I went ahead to buy a hcigar vt40. I must say, the dna40 are quite precise! Hahaha

DNA 40 max at 40W won't be able to push up a super sub ohm if u intend to do so. For temp control, using a super sub ohm you need a better device like DNA 200

Nevertheless, DNA 40 is a good buy too!

I'm looking to buy a snow wolf and I'm wondering what's the pros and cons of a snow wolf?
And is a mech mod better than a snow wolf?
I'm looking to use it with a tfv4 .
Or do you guys have any other mod suggestion? I need one with good battery life and able to help me produce large clouds thanks!



Already have an ipvd2.

Go for VT200, you won't regret

But I'm pushing out 20 watts maximum when using my goblin mini@single microcoil, 1ohm!

Vape is cooler, yet still have enough cloud. But the flavor is up there man!

Comparing a mech mod vs a snolf wolf is totally irrelevant. It's like comparing an apple and orange. Both are really different stuff.

You wanna be a cloudchaser, it also depends on your setup and the juice you are using. the snowwolf produces 200w of power which i doubt anybody actually vapes at that amount of power.

Do you have any idea what you're playing with and the safety aspects to look out for?

Make sure if you wanna cloudchase to impress, use the right stuff. I guess you are pretty new to the vaping scene and yes you should probably stick with a regulated mod and the tfv4. Seems like the go to tank for all the cloudchasers now.

Oh yes, lots of spare cash to burn as well. If you're gonna vape with the tfv4 at like high wattages, its gonna burn out your juice REAL quick.

Ask yourself, vape to show off your clouds? Or vape as a substitute to traditional tobacco.

Oh yes, please please don't do it in public.

The issue is most people think vaporizers are like any other electronic devices like a remote control car, torch light, PSP whereby you just pop a battery and it's ready to go. Most people don't know what sub-ohming is and the safety aspects behind it to keep their faces from being blown off.

Vaporizers are not toy cars whereby you buy energizer batteries or cheap china baterries from value shop, plug in and you're good to go. Heck before sub-ohming was popular people were vaping at like 1.3ohms on their atomizers.

I am thankful that the surge in vaping happened when there are more regulated devices in the market now which feature low resistance control and that mech mods weren't as popular as they used to be in 2014. Or else i'm pretty sure we'll have people getting their faces blown off due to lack of knowledge about ohms law, builds and battery safety.

I know of many vapers who do it for the clouds, and that's the worrying part. Just hope more people would do research before purchasing and vendors would be kind enough to give basic knowledge instead of purely recommendations for profits.

People need to be educated on their equipment and how to use it correctly.

Aside from this, if you need high power, yes anything from ipv4s, snow wolf, xcube, sigelei 150 will be more than enough for a beginner. Just buy base on your budget as the features are relatively the same and like most of us we change mods every few months when there are new products out.

peace.

Yes, it all up to individual preference there isn't any mod is so called good. One mod maybe good for me but seems to be no so good for others

Using a Egrip seems good for me outdoor, stealthy and concealable but to others is no good due to leaking issues which can be prevented

So there is no one good mod for all purpose. I have yet to know one good mod for all purpose
