Advice: IPV5 or Smok H-priv 220w?

[Redchigh]

I'm looking to get back into vaping, and had decided on the IPV5... Until I saw the 37.99 shipped deal on Vapor Joes for the Smok H-priv 220w.

Which should I go for?

Looking for decent smoke production and ease of use. I realize I won't be creating any artificial fog banks on a $30-$40 mod, but between these two (or a similar price point) which should I go for?

I don't have any gear at the moment, but definitely planning on a sub-ohm rebuildable tank. (I haven't decided on one yet.)

BTW, this is my first post, wanted to try out this forum. Sorry if this isn't the right place.

Personally, I'd take an Ipv over any Smok mod. Just not a big fan of Smok after owning an X Cube II. Plus the Yihi chipset is better than any board Smok has.

i agree with deuces my smok koopor plus died after 5 months while my ipv mods are all over 18 months old and work like new

I have both.
Actually I have 1 of the IPV5s and 3 of the H-Privs.
Both are awesome devices.
My personal choice would be the H-Priv for the following reasons;
Lighter weight
Paint doesn't wear off as easy
Fire bar is awesome (similar to the istick tc100)
Larger screen that is on top of the device making it a bit easier to read

All that said, they both fit the hand very well and just work.
Either way, you'll have a great device so you can't go wrong.

Thanks for the input. I'd done a fair bit of research on the IPV5, and it looked like a real gem in the budget range, I just saw the deal on the smok (about 40 with fs, from over $100) and started doubting myself. Any good recommendations on a budget rebuildable tank to learn on, that looks good on the I{V5?

IPV5 love mine ...now if that Freemax Rdta gets off preorder status I can put my swipe card away.

I don't own the h-priv but danial seems to think it is an amazing device.. He has a few cons like delayed fireing in video but in a much later video he says all the cons were fixed in a firmware upgrade.. I am tempted to get it.. Or even tempted to get the x-cube ultra.. Seems to share alot with the h-priv but with a nicer body and balanced charging and bluetooth firmware upgrades.. don't know man.. my next mod will probably be the ipv6x.. but the x-cube ultra looks pretty nice..

May I suggest an additional alternate of the Smok Micro one 150 kit?

I'd go with the IPV5. It's easily one of my favorite mods for a number of reasons...

It's efficient in terms of battery life
It use a tried and true chip
it's got a solid 510
It does TC very well
It has a very ergonomic and nice looking design

It does look super sharp in those pictures.

Had to check it out.
Only vaped one tank so far.
Nice tank, nice mod.
(If you like small mods that are small, light weight, and comfortable with internal 1900mAh battery)



@Whiskey was awesome enough to sell me a Kangertech subtank in GOLD so I had to check out the drip tip on it.
Much better appearance.
