Picking up one or the other next week. I've all but made up my mind, just want to hear some other opinions before pulling the trigger. My main concern is the stainless steel temp and which does it better... So sound off...

Thanks

Edit to add poll.

If I was going to buy one of them, it would be the IPV5. The reason being (I'm going to catch Hell for this), I think Yihi chips are better than Joyetech chips (especially when comparing the upper tier of Yihi chips). It uses there second best chip atm. For the price it seems like you get 90%+ of what a SX Mini can do at ~1/4 of the price. Now if you put a DNA200 choice in there.... :D

Cheers,
Steve

I don't own a ipv5, but do have a ipv4 and a Cuboid. For me the Joyetech chip outperforms the YIHI, especially in TC.
Strictly my personal opinion.
P.S. The Cuboid is built very well, solid.

the TCR for SS316L is 092
SX350J a TCR of 092 works well but I like 095 better.
Joytech chip 092 barely warms the wire 125 is the setting I use to get a good vape.
They both work but the YIHI chip is more accurate.

I should mention that with Ti 1 wire it's TCR 350 vs 366 between them.

One thing I forgot to add in my original post. For regular power mode the IPV5 gives you more flexibility build wise with it's 45 amp output limit compared to the Cuboid's 25 amp limit (unless that has been changed).

Thanks guys. I had pretty much decided on the cuboid but a lot of good arguments are being made for the IPV. It's never an easy choice when you have so many options.

Go with what you want and what your gut tells you to get. Don't let what someone else would get influence you. If you don't get what you really want, you will always have a nagging doubt in the back of your mind. You will probably end up getting both either way lol.:D Good luck my friend!

Cheers,
Steve

I have a Cuboid and I love it. With that being said if I had to buy one today without having previously owned either one I would probably go for the IPV5. After owning a SX Mini M Class for quite some time now I am very partial to Yihi chips.

The only IPV I own is a D2 and its rock solid. I've never had a single issue with it but it is a pretty simple mod. As for joyetech, I'm on my 2nd VTC mini, the first one shit the bed and my current one is a bit wonkey in SS temp mode. Now I'm really considering the IPV. The cuboid would be a little boring considering it's pretty much the same thing as my VTC and RX. I'm also curious to see how this Pure mode pans out. The one thing that keeps me leaning towards the joyetech is the firmware upgrades. I don't know how IPV would be in the department. Hell, they already have a good enough reason to put one out considering 30% of them have a glitch right out of the box.

P4Y sucks... Stick with Cuboid... Just be aware there's a 25 amp limit in it.... Don't be surprise if the mod wont let you go up on wattage its a software thang!!

I've owned nothing BUT IPVs... IPV4, IPV D2, IPVD3, and a soon to be owner of the IPV5. I also own a VTC Mini, but favor my IPVs if not for the SS TC on the Evic. People can say P4y sucks all they want, but i've never had any issues with any of mine. jussayin. Do what you like though, both mods are pretty solid if you ask me.

You do know that P4Y AND Sigelei are owned by the same people, right?

The 25 amp limit of the cuboid would kill the deal for me.

How do you know it's a software thing and not a component on the chip-set that is limiting it to 25 amps? In other words something on the chip-set that would fry if more than 25 amps were passed through it. I thought about it and that was the only reason I could think of that makes sense to me for the unreasonably low output limit,

Cheers,
Steve

Edit: The reason I ask is because it makes a big difference. If it's simply a software thing, it can be fixed with a firmware upgrade. If it's related to the hardware, there is no fixing it with an upgrade

Very good point, Steve.

IPV5, period. I've had way too many friends having problems and troubles with Cuboid from scratching finishes, screens, etc., while none with IPV5 (yet?). And I've owned many mods from both camps, yihi is definitely better, imho.

I'd say it's both. The software knows what the board can safely deal with and limits it.

The rx200 had the same issue when it first came out, after 2-3 updates limitation went away, I haven't upgraded my x2 cuboids both of them are still 150watts max, with the limit...
So yeah, upgrade to 200 watts see what it does if u decide with cuboid
Can't trust p4y they left a bad taste in my mouth...

There owned by the same parent corporation but are separate companies and Segelei no longer uses YIHI chips.

I thought all 3 companies were connected. Are you sure Sig isn't using chips made by Yihi, even if they aren't calling them Yihi by name. If they aren't, I wonder who's chips they are using?

Edit I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just curious because I thought somehow (I can't remember exactly how) all 3 were connected. I'm also curious who's chips they are using, if they aren't using Yihi made chips.

so confused... I thought the two were both subs of YIHI and also owned by osmodus with LAISIKI in there somewhere.
and LAISIKI was also making boards being used in some sigelei products but the fouchai and the 150tc were still yihi boards.

I swear that country and the south have a lot in common

So much corporate incest going on who knows who's really mucking about in who's bed. I for sure don't but thinking about it is making my right eye twitch so I need to go bang my head off the wall until it stops. Of course banging my head off the wall explains a lot. hummm
 
As a dealer I like the cuboid, not too sure about the the ipv5. The ipv4 did it in for me. It just didn't preform the way I thought it should have. As the cuboid hasn't disappointed me yet. Seems to be a more heavier hit for me. Not to mention the price point.

fat snowwolf, little snowolf, everybody's snowwolf

Dude, if they would make a snow wolf just like the original with all the functionality of a cuboid or IPV5, I'd never buy another mod again. I have no interest in these cell phone looking amalgamations they are making these days. I'm Love my snow wolfs.

It's a great idea. Call it the snow wolf classic. I'm afraid everything new will start going giant touch screen and phase out single screen three button system. It's like the blackberry all over again. I hate progress sometimes.

We have an ipv5 at our shop, and all i can really say is that it's damn sexy. Its built incredibly well, the quality is outstanding. Its like a bigger, sturdier D3. I haven't really vaped on it, but when i did it worked wonderfully haha

I looked around briefly online and a black ipv5 is hard to come by.

Seems like it's a very popular mod and most places have sold out. With China still ramping back up production after the Chinese New Year shutdown, might take a few days for companies to resupply. That's my take on why all colors are basically in short supply atm.

That's my take on it.

I'm fairly certain that, if my next mod is a dual-18650, it'll be an IPV5. I also want an Aeolus Lite RDA. So I'm waiting to see if a vendor (preferably one with which I already have an account) will end up with both in stock for a decent price.

I own Joyetech cuboid, at first didn't like it's battery life, especially that it has a cut off at 3.4v, but for what it gives, for the size, elegance, on board balanced charger, i will buy an external battery and get 2 more batteries.

Concerning 25 amp limit, the lowest i will go is 0.2 ohms, that will give me around 100w which is satisfying for me. If i were you i would wait until they come out with ipv5s (heard ipv5 has a glitch).

Joyetech = safety

P4u= take cover
