Need more info. What are you looking for in your mod that your DNA30 isn't giving you?
The ipv mini vr2 70w is an amazing deal for the money. Downsides are build quality (not too bad), ergonomics and battery capacity (1 18650).
The Sigelei 150w will run you about $40 more, giving you twice the overhead (if you need it) and doubles up on the batteries (no usb charing though so you'll have to switch out batteries/charging them externally.)
Other contentders are the ipv4, the ipv 2x, the sigelei 100w plus, the sigelei 50w v2. They're all good choices depending on what you want.

I have (at this point) nine different box mods, two of which are the IPV 3 and Sigelie 150. Out of all of them, I use Sig 150 a lot more. It comes with a silicone cover which makes holding it a pleasure and battery life with two EFEST 2500mah 18650....almost three days before charging.
I am looking for something with a higher wattage so then I can build lower. I most likely will never need 150watts but for the little extra money it doesn't seem like that bad of a deal. I think I'd be happy with 100watts but I'm not in the financial state right now to be spending a lot of money
I'm in the same boat and have been hearing a lot of good things about the sigelei 100w plus. I want to upgrade from my 20w so I can get into the RBA and RDA setups.
For what it's worth, I love the Sigelei 100w Plus I purchased a couple of weeks go. I've played around with a friend's IPV 3 and I definitely prefer the fire button on the Sigelei...it's bigger and more "clicky" than the IPV, IMO. Also, as modmandan mentioned above, the silicone sleeve that comes with the Sigelei is a really nice touch.
I love my sigelei 100 watt plus and I'm sure the sigelei 150 is great too. The rubber or silicone cover is indeed great, you get better grip, and protects it a bit!
A famous misconception is just because the box mod is capability is either .1 or .2 I should run it that low. Not really true. When you build that low, you're getting into ohms law which these mods chips, will limit the voltage you get topped out. It's mostly a good idea to build higher ohms...say around .6 to 1.2.
You'll still get a GREAT vape and if you build with lots of wraps, great flavor too. Read any reviews from retail web sites of YouTube and it's what you'll find.
And as I said a few posts ago....stellar battery life.
Two examples....
On my Sig 150 and IPV 3, I run an orchid for my work vape and they're built at .65 and one at .9.
At 33 watts.
At .9ohm the voltage is set to 5.4 (to hot a vape for me, usually run this coil at 21.5watt to get 4.3volt)
At .65ohm the voltage is set at 4.29
The lower the ohm rating, the more power you'll need to fire it and chips do get warm and batteries drain faster. Plus you're limited on voltage at lower ohms too.

Hey if this helps sweet-vapes.com has the sigelei 150 watt for $98.95 and the 100watt version 2 for $82.95 to $94.95 and the SMY God Mod for $85.00
First & foremost for me with a box is the battery. If I can't install the battery of my choice .. I don't want it!
The next thing I look for is how LOW can the wattage be set. That tells me more about the quality of the chip set than how high the wattage can be set does. It simply takes better quality for them to be accurate at the low end. (it has to buck as well as boost)

Here is an example of a good one.

Agreed!
Any mod that can accurately "step-down" voltage is a pretty good chip to use. I use a few drippers at around .3 ohm and I was surprised at how well they worked at around 3.2 volts. Great vapor and flavor I was getting, and battery life was amazing! Now you have to understand that not all mods will actually step-down to a voltage that low. The display may even show 3.2, but if it can't perform, it'll bypass the chip all together and fire at whatever voltage your battery is at.
