i prefer a cooler vape... had an ipv2 w/ clt infinite @ 0.8 ohms dual coil, it vaped too hot for me at 25watts so i went back to my aspire nautilus around 7-9 watts, bought a neme clone and vaped the same clt infinite @ 0.8 ohms dual coil to my surprise... it is a cool vape (why is that ?), i simply cannot handle hot vapes nor do i like it

i also sold my itaste mvp 2.0 cuz the battery life was getting shorter and the vape is noticeably stronger on my ipv2, on my neme clone the vape is very good with a fresh battery and it goes downward from there, its a GOOD and BAD thing, good because i can tell as time goes on by experience when to change batterys, bad because the vapor production is noticeably less as i keep on vaping, so now im back on the market for a regulated box mods (supposedly the vape is even throughout vs a mechanical that gets less and less), even though i am fine with mechanical mods (not as scary as most people deem it as, as long as you take proper precautions when you are building your coils and before you vape you check with ohm meter), why am i considering these three? because you can put 2x 18650 batteries, regulation, magnetic cover, simply put, for the ease of use, mechanical mods by no means are bad but sometimes the convenience of regulated box mods are more attractive (simply screw on and go)

main question: about the devices voltage range
i've read from someone on the forums that the ipv3 is actually the best device out of the three because of the output voltage range is at a more usable range 1 to 7 volts, whileas the cloupor t8 and sigelei 100w is 5.6-14volts and 6.4 to 8.4v respectively, but what does this all really mean?


second question: about hotter and cooler vapes
why is that with the same build and same rda on my mechanical i am getting a cooler vape and on an regulated device such as ipv2 at 25 watts im getting a warm to hot vape?


im leaning towards cloupors oled screen, ipv3 second and sigelei (worst one imo)
ipv3s backplate is major turnoff for me since in looking for an magnetic backcover device such as cloupor or sigelei
so right now i wana make sure if the voltage range makes a big difference or no?

I got the ipv3 personally. Why because I got the ipv2 and loved it! Also because yihi will be supporting the ipv3 with new firmware in the future we can upgrade ourselves according to yihi. First upgrade has been done and will be shipped out as a 150 watt unit instead of 100 watt. Plus it has a year warentee. I have had ZERO problems with my ipv2 and the v3 has upgrades from the v2. For me, because of the future support and upgrades I'm going with the ipv3. I got mine from watts up vapor and it should be shipping out in the next week or so according to them. Hamming the extra wattage is nice as well as running double 30 amp batteries.for me it was the right choice and I don't regret it for one second! I thought over in my head which one I wanted and knew I'd regret not getting the ipv3 150. So i got it. My advice is get something you won't regret getting.for me, that was the ipv3. You can always get magnets for the back cover and it can be charged through port unlike the t8.

Having recently purchased a Cloupor T5, I will say that I will never buy another Cloupor product again.

My T5 has HORRIBLE battery life even at reasonable wattages and also likes to randomly shut down when you fire it.

Their recent and epically failed firmware update was suppose to address those issues, add features, and upgrade it to 75 Watts. The update went so horribly wrong they almost immediately had to pull it, and instead of making good on their promise for a firmware updates, simply state they won't be making an update available anymore....not even to repair the glitches that the factory firmware comes with. Many users T5's were rendered useless, beyond recovery because of their mistakes. Their FB pages is a mess with complaints.

The T6 and T8, at least outwardly, appear to use the same chip and display.

To do it over, I'd have better spent my money on the IPV2/V3.

I was unaware of all of that BS with cloupor. I may have too look into it and re-do my order. Thanks!

I have the ipv2 as well and love it but thought I would try something different...and more watts! lol and id kif they are addressing the lack of a gasket on the ipv3, I am constantly leaking juice into the 2 and it worries me sometimes especially since to get the cover off it takes so long.

I have an IPV3 on the way (even though I need another mod like I need a hole in the head!) but I would like to get the charging cable to go with it, does anyone know if this is available or has it not been released yet? I don't really want to remove the batteries every time to charge as I only have a 2 bay Nitecore charger and I use that for the mechs.
