yeah SX330. n both ipv can do titanium, though i don't even know how to do nickel yet. ipv4s is the best in price, but sigelei has a better build n reputation. think i gotta do more research.

No experience about DNA mods, but ipv d2 has problem stepping down below 3.4V in power mode so you may want to take note of that. Evic vtc mini would be a better choice for single 18650.
ipv4s, ipv3 li, snowwolf, dna200 all should last you a few months if not years of upgrading based on the fact that higher power settings are usually not in use. BUT if you wish to chase crazy builds you'll definitely want something with all the power it can offer (quad and above parallel coils, dual infused clapton parallel etc etc)

I'll just comment on the mods that I own or what close friends have.
rDNA40
It is one of the first boards to feature temperature control, groundbreaking just a year ago. Had a rocky start initially; glitchy screens etc. However it has all been refined and is now one of the more stabler mods. Prices have started falling down for DNA40 devices, such as the Vaporshark rDNA40 and DNA40. Think it is now like USD$130? Cheaper DNA40 mods are available too such as the Hcigar HB40.
I've been using a rDNA40 for about a year now. Compared to the newer chips it still holds its ground despite its relative age. Accurate temp control, accurate resistance readings. It only has a nickel mode though you can fire titanium but you've to compensate for temperature. Paint chipped quite a bit though i'm sending it to be powder coated soon. Zip charging is fantastic. Charges my LG HG2 3000mah batt in about 100mins. Great device if you don't need lots of power.
IPV D2
A very recent acquisition. It uses the (Edit: SX130H chip, thanks Eugene) It is tiny. Smaller than my vaporshark definitely. About the size of the istick 50w. It is quite well built, though the paint is thin and scratch easily. Luckily they provided a silicon sleeve. Don't really like the barrel pin charge port but it works well. The board works well; accurate temp reading and resistance reading and has Ti & Ni modes. More powerful than DNA40 since it goes to 50joules or 75watts. Make sure you get at least a 20amp batt to reach full power.
Evic VT
The evic VT is kind of in neither camp. If i am not wrong their chip is proprietary. The chip isn't as good. In wattage mode it functions perfectly. In temp mode you can only use 30w to 60w. Nothing lower than 30w. Shame really since i usually go 20w. I also don't like how you can't easily increase or decrease the watts in temp mode. You can only increase, and it rou robins after hitting 60w. Kind of irritating. Nevertheless, temp control works fine, has both Ti & Ni modes and the battery life is superb with the 5000mah batt. Love the built quality and paint job + that gorgeous screen.
Sigelei 150w.
Big and powerful, it swallows 2 18650s. Chip reads to 150W and it has temp control for both Ni & Ti and it works well. Nice rubber coating. Nothing much else to say about this. Big and powerful.

@ahmadmfz Then you have to try Evic VTC mini 
can go down to 1W or was it 7W
can agree with the round robin, but well in TC mode usually the set wattage is the initial burst and it'll limit itself following which.
But I often find their TC a little off from other chips so you'd have to raise a little as compared, yihi and smoktech in particular

Oops. Thought its was the 330. Nevertheless it's a fantastic chip! Liking it alot. A year ago i wouldn't mind paying USD$200 for the D2. Luckily it is much cheaper

Yeah their TC is a bit too agressive for me. I can run 30w without throttling down too much on the yihi and DNA chips but the VT just pushes it to like 12-13w.
Get the IPV3 LI, upgraded mine to 200W with Ti option (hope it can upgrade to SS wire soon), very reliable, touch sensor works like a charm, loving it since. Ge the silicone cover and u are in vape heaven.
Another good TC mod for compactness, is the Dovpo Executive 5.0, very reliable, tiny and solid TC mod, which auto-detects Kanthal/Ni 200 nickel wire, and very comfortable grip feel.

The auto detect function is nice, but as with snowwolf if used on SS wires it can actually cause a mini explosion
i set higher, theres a burnt taste. Think the wicking on the given nickel occ is very bad.
Most set their temp at 420F as a starting point.. You can go higher or lower for personal preference .. Say if set at 420F there should not be any burning of wick, that's the whole point to TC.
Check your temp setting.. Or you can try lower

420 and i get minimal mist.. and close to no taste. the premade occ seems really bad or I am really crap at setting it up
I'm digging the koopor mini right now. Small and the price point is attractive
