I'm am REALLY on the fence between these two mods. I want something with high wattage to achieve mech stylesubohming but with the protection of a regulated device. I've tried the T8 in my local vape shop, I like the magnetic battery cover and really like the screen. Used it at 150W at .3Ω and the battery died in about 40 minutes. (I'd be using about .5Ω at around 50W, I've been told to expect nearly 2 days from this)
The IPV3 has more of a following because of the success of the IPV2 but I've not used either device.. I really need some advice here!
Help!

They, along with the Sigelei 100 watt, are similar. If face some of them use the same board from YiHi.

Which one do you like the look of?

Which one do you like the unique features of? Which one implements the features you use best?

Do you feel better about one manufacturer than another?

I have a Sigelei because I do not need over 100 watts. I have other Sigelei stuff and it works fine, I have nothing from the other guys so they might be fine. The Sigelei door can be held on with magnets.

All of them use batteries in series and that is a big minus for me. I also have a pair of SX-350 devices that only go to 50 but the batteries are in parallel.

For what it's worth, posted this on a couple threads:
-
I have the IPV3, and I have to say, ... I Love my IPV2.

Yeah, you read that right. I love my IPV TWO. IPV 3, not so much.

Oh, The IPV3 is nice, but it's bigger, the fire button sucks ( its like pressing a ball bearing) and it has 1&1/2 useless features, and 1 pain in the ...., annoyance.

Useless feature 1: it has a touch sensor that does nothing, not hooked up to anything, it would have looked better without it, since it does nothing.
The 1/2 Useless feature : the mini USB port. You can't charge the battery in Mod like you can the IPV2, it's only for software updates.

The annoyance : the memory settings. Too easy to access them. Pop up at stupid times. Yeah I know, ultimately user error, but too easily accessed.

Just looking at the Sigelei, it has a more thumb friendly button.

The only thing that I like about the IPV3 over the IPV2 is, inexplicable as it is, because this should have no bearing on 2 batteries in series, is, the IPV3 seems to last a lot longer. Theory may be well and good, but I know the evidence of my own eyes.

I should have bought another IPV2, I don't need anything over 50 Watts anyhow. Hell, I rarely go above 22.2W
