I'm thinking about adding the reuleaux rx200 to the short list.
Still going to try to save up and get the Lavabox as well.
I would highly recommend the reuleaux RX 200 from what I was told the lava box is no better at performing reliably but they have almost endless customization features. If that's your bag go for it but if you're looking for jus something solid powerful and consistent I'd go with the reuleaux because of the price difference and the RX has its customization options as well

I gave up and did eBay. ECiggity would have been a sweet deal with their 20% off coupon, but the black is OOS and the deal is off after the 17th (would have been under 40 bucks). But $49 shipped was okay with me....;)

Fuck Gearbest, I got a refund and bought one from an eBay vendor 60 miles from my house.
I paid for the super fast shipping and all and they never told me that it was a pre order or they were going to wait 2 weeks and still not ship it so fuck them.:mad:

It very well could have been an old mod by the time you got it. ;)

No it doesn't.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. It is what it is.
Oh yea I was thinking firmware updates . its the DNA that has the customizations . either way all three of em perform well

Here's how the short-list works.
When a product gets added to it I usually will buy said product as soon as I have the cash to get it.
Currently at the very top of my short list is the Eleaf GS16 which is going to be given to my downstairs neighbor along with an iStick Mini and a bottle of 808 Vapeshack Pimp Juice.
At least that's the plan so far.

Ahh the TFV4. I Do like it, but ONLY with the single and dual RBA-I find standard coils needing so much power and using so much juice to be excessive.

Sorry to hear it killed your KBOX mini. How about a IPV 3 LI? Out of all my dual battery mods, I prefer it, even over the Sigelei 150 TC. This is due to the upgrade and the support for TI as well as NI200, plus a wattage mode that will power your TFV4 insane coils fine.

If you only plan on using power mode-The sigelei 150 is a great device. They both use Yihi SX330 Chips, just slightly different models.

There is a great single battery mod that I highly recommend, but for the TFV4 I won't due to battery life.

I also find the IPV 3 LI gives me better battery life than the SIG 150 TC.

But, either device would be WELL enough for your needs, and future vaping needs. Plus you can find them fairly cheap, which is a bonus.

The Cloupor T8 looks interesting, but one reviewer said it doesn't really go up to 150W?

I wish Joyetech would make an eVic-VTC - just like the Mini, except a bit bigger to take two 18650s. Don't care how high the wattage goes (I never even get near the 75W of which my Mini's capable). I just want the run-time.

I ended up getting the reuleaux rx200 but I'm slowly taking interest in the ipv . can you give me some pros and cons on that bud?

I've got the iStick TC40W it's neat and can do Ti with a simple adjustment*.It's a bit under-powered though even in power mode (Wattage).

*To enable/add the TI Coil mode on your iStick 40w TC follow these simple steps:

1) Turn your iStick 40w TC OFF
2) Press and hold the Power Button and up arrow simultaneously for 25 seconds until you get the reading "TI Mode"
3) Turn your iStick 40w TC back on and now you have Wattage Mode - Nickel Mode & TITANIUM MODE*

EDIT BELOW :
To turn Ti Mode completely off repeat that process.

I have one of these beasts on the way to my house is well.

I have an IPV4s & a Sigelei 150 V2 and they are both very nice mods.

They work great but they work best for me doing completely different jobs.

The IPV4s runs great in TC mode with either stock Ni200 subohm coils or ni200 (Nickel) builds

The Sigelei 150 V2 is a power house great for high wattage subohm tanks and even drippers.

I usually keep my drippers on hammond style 120w raptor or mosfet protected built boxes.

So your reuleaux rx200 should power your TFV4 very well with ANY of the coils from super sub ohm (sextuplet) and up (dual or RDA built by you).

O Rly? :confused:

I have no idea what effect the charge level could have, but it's certainly reversible.

I've turned Ti mode off and back on at least a couple of times and there... did it again. :)
I tried doing this when the battery was low and it took way longer than 25 seconds.
Well you can switch from Ti to Ni or from Ti to Wattage but turning it off completely??? Everything I've read said it was irreversible.
Do you repeat the process?
Explain give me details.
I like learning stuff.
I'll edit my comment above even...Cheers!

Badass my cousin has a sigelei 150tc she swears by it and I would have gotten it probably if it hadn't have been for the price
How does the ipv4s perform with SS coils ? I just bought a roll today . I've heard lots of good stuff about it ha-ha
Another question : do you have any personal view on the freakshow rda ? A friend of mine gave it to me . it seems OK but I've heard good and bad things about it
Also , what are some good tank kits to look into ?
I'm a sub ohm guy that loves being blinded by the vapor while also enjoying the delicious flavor . however at times I also enjoy higher resistance for my higher nicotine juices. Any suggestions ?

Sure, I remember 6-7 weeks ago when some German(s) posted this.
Just like they broke the news about the boost to 75w hidden in the VTC update.
They do like to tinker. :p

Ok...mine takes 20 seconds, every time (I'm very good at counting time, except on my drums :p).
Even during that post earlier... and the charge was around 35-40.

I've turned Ti off, then cycled through the modes and Ti is gone.
Turned it back on and voila... there it is back in the rotation.
I've done that entire process at least four times now. Works every time.

I don't have any Ti ATM, but I've used it as well as SS in Ti mode.
Does what it says on the tin. Pretty much gave new life to the mod, for me.
Actually used it extensively several times the past two weeks.
How did you turn it (Ti Mode) off though.

I use the Crown subohm tank mostly which has stainless coils in place of kanthal as the regular ones
The IPV4s doesn't read stainless in TC mode but the Crown has really nice Ni200 coils that work great.
I've never owned a feekshow RDA so I don't know much about it.

The RDA's that get the most use in my collection are:

Velocity
Kennedy w/Demon Cap
Velocity
Mutation X V2 and V3
Dark Horse
Little Boy

The others just sit around and collect dust.

Pros-the best TC I have experienced with TI and NI200, I would say on par/extremely close to the DNA200. For some reason-it has a longer battery life than my other dual battery mods, even the sigelei 150, and that only does nickel.

Enough power for anything you want really. I don't use my devices at high wattage, I prefer using builds that require less watts, but it works superbly at higher watts in power mode.

165W out of the box, with a super easy upgrade to 200W. I did not do the updrade just for the 200W though, I did it to have the latest firmware. Plus I did the upgrade in OSX, it has a mac updater too.

Cons? Well it doesn't come with a sleeve, so you have to buy one. I got two (One black one white from fasttech for about 2 dollars something). Also, the touch button. It works 100% of the time-but once my tank leaked and it started firing, so I recommend turning the touch fire button OFF, and use the standard button.

If I could only keep 3 devices, this would definitely be one of them.

If you have any specific questions about it-ask away mate :). But for the price, and how good it is, I think it is REALLY worth it.

Awesome thanks for the info!! Hey I ordered 2 sleeves for my rx200 and it says it shipped but the tracking number they gave me didn't register on the USPS website, is that normal?

Erm if it only shipped today, then yes that does happen quite a lot. If it shipped a while ago though, contact them-although I am sure it will turn up :).

It can take 24 hours, or more, for a USPS tracking number to register on USPS' site--depending upon what the seller means by "shipped." Often it simply means "We've queued it up, but it hasn't actually left, yet." Other times it means they've prepped it shipment, and notified USPS of their intention to ship something with a given tracking number. In that case USPS will note they've received the electronic notification.

But, right now, USPS' tracking system is a hot mess. Packages mostly (?) seem to be eventually getting to their destinations, but you can't rely on their tracking system to know if that's happening, because it's wildly out-of-whack, right now.

Personally: I'm done ordering anything, from anybody, via the 'net, for now. Not because there's nothing I want, but because the shipping system is currently overwhelmed and, IMO, you can't really depend upon it.

Now... lets not get too crazy here...... lolololol
I have no idea what that place is like-apart from a story from one online vape shop I phoned.

He told me a customer was complaining that his E-Pipe that run on 18350's would not take a 0.1 build and complaining, saying it was faulty. Shop owner tried to explain to him, and he was still adamant he wanted his money back as it would not fire that low.

It turned out he was a MODERATER at that forum.

It could of been complete lies, like the person he spoke to may not of been a moderater at all, but the person I spoke to seemed pretty sure of it.

That is the only story I have heard about them, I have browsed on there but it seems pretty mundane so I stick to here and POTV's (UK forum).

Is it really bad over there?

I must say the crown standard stainless coils are very nice on a device that does SS well.

I also have some NI200 coils for it, plus the RBA as I like building for it, as all the new tanks seem to need quite high wattage and be all about cloud (and flavour), but I prefer lower watts, with lots of flavour, for longer battery life and less juice consumption.

Now I don't own a 4S-but I do own a lot of other mods, and out of my entire collection, for quality of use to price ratio, I find the IPV 3 LI to be great. If I could only keep 3 devices it would be that, a DNA200, and for single battery either the IPV D2/3 (I have both, both are great) or the EVIC VTC mini, as some witchcraft is going on with mine and single battery TC lasts for AGES, much longer than other devices with the same battery and tank and watts/joules (Apart from my dual battery devices of course).

I may get a 4S after christmas, but I am not sure if it is a worthy upgrade over the IPV3 LI?

My favourite drippers are:

The El cabron,

The Velocity,

The Haze dripper tank,

A twisted messes RDA,

And a tugboat styled dripper.

The last 3 are what restored me to start dripping again, as I absolutely hated the Mutation X v4. It just goes to show how in vaping, It really is personal preference.

I use my crown the least, but I can not say it is a bad tank, quite the opposite, its just I prefer my freemax starre pro's, the TFV4 WITH the dual coil RBA purchased separately, and Uwell crowns.

But, it is still a great tank. It's just the power requirements mean I get through batteries, and juice, far too quickly for my liking.

My other dripper's also do the same as yours, just sit around, but I will keep them as I am collecting.

I know this question was to someone else, but thought I would add in about SS.


Ok you like big clouds but also higher resistance builds-again the TFV4 makes coils that are levelling on stupidity cloud wise, and others that are as high as 1.5 Ohms single coil.

I don't own the IPV4S, but do own 15 regulated mods, most TC, but SS coils are OKish-even on my DNA 200's with profiles from Evolv themselves though they never seem to work as smoothly as NI200 or TI, so much so that I am not using it for TC builds just yet. I am sticking to TI for the foreseeable future.

The good thing about it is being able to use it in both power AND TC mode, but you need a mod that does SS to do so properly.

If you want a tank kit, by kit I assume you mean full kit? I would say you already have one of the best if you use the Clapton (Single coil) RDA that is included, or purchase the dual coil RBA for it which I use with it.

Other tanks that are great are-the freemax stare Pro(probably my most recommended if you DON'T want to rebuild and use standard coils), the Crius is one of my favourites, but it is fully rebuildable, no stock coils I'm afraid, and the Uwell crown most people love, and the NI200 coils work great with it. There are more I rate highly, but they are fully rebuildable (aromamizer ETC.).


I think you already HAVE the tank you are looking for-its just the stock coils it comes with I don't think are the best choice-they make about 10 different coils for that actual tank. The two included are juice drinkers, and the RBA is a single coil one (That works good though, I either use that or the dual coil one, the dual coil one will satisfy your cloud desires well :) .

For Sure Power the WISMEC Sure Fits the Program! But I've been Firing the TFV4's on iStick 40's, IPV D2's, eVic Mini, Aspire Pegasus, SMOK XPro M80 Plus & it's Little Sister The SMOK XPro BT50 which is a Great Buy with up to 85% Discount at VapeNW for an ending Price $14.95! Note; Depending on Coils!

But for Good Power, Battery Life and Super Great Price the iStick 100 for under $20 Bucks Works Real Well with The TFV4's No Matter the Coil!

Just My 13 Cents Worth
