So I have been doing a fair amount of research. I dont know which one would be better to use either ipv3 or sigelei 150. Both ha e pros and cons. Generally I build RDA's between .12 to .30 ohms. According to ohms law with a mechanism mod im in the 65-120 watt range. Give or take... I would like to hear from anyone who owns one or the other or both as to why the chose that one their own pros and cons etc.... please help me choose.

Sigelei 150watt or IPV3

Sigelei.
Better fire button, no shady non working touch sensor gizmos or 9 volt charge portals that will vent your batteries. I have never spent a lot of time with the IPV3, but enough to know that the Sigelei 150w is better.

I think either way yo go you will be satisfied really. They are pretty similar construction. The sig has magnets and fires 10-150w The p4y is 7-165w with the update. They are sister companies the Sig is marketed like the Honda where the p4y is the Acura. If you like magnets and don't want to modify get the sig. If you like a bigger fire button get the sig. If you like a lower price get the sig. If you like a slightly smaller frame get the p4y. If you like the bb style buttons get the p4y. If you like 165w get the p4y. If you like a more detailed volt and ohm reading get the p4y. lol
I think they removed it at the last minute but did not want to have to change the enclosure.
I'm an iPV3 owner, too, and this post just about covers it. iPV3's can be found for about the same as Sig's, too. The only thing I envy is a magnetic battery door, but it's no big deal. I have a million little blue Phillips screwdrivers, and with two 18650's I'm yet to have to change batteries in a pinch, and need a screwdriver.
Another thing to consider is the memory feature on the iPV3. It erases after swapping batteries, but there are five power setting you can dial in to memory, and it takes a minute or so. It's convenient to be able to press one button one time to go from as low as 7 watts, to 165, though that's an extreme example. Usually mine has 40-45-50-55-60, which is an easy way to tailor in for builds and juices that differ. After having this feature, I know I'd really miss it if I were without it.
I don't think you can go wrong either way. The iPV4 is coming soon, it's 100 watts, and I could see the 3's dropping further in price. Might be worth the wait.
I couldn't deal with the screws. Even if you only had to use then every other day, it's still a pain. The sigelei is perfect for me. The silicone sleeve is on it 100% of the time when before I didn't even think I'd use it. I'm glad I bought it. I am interested in the ipv4 though, but I'm not sure how it will actually look. The pics are deceiving.
The iPV4 interests me, too. And i understand about the screws, doesnt bother me, though. I have mechs that take longer to adjust for different attys/batteries.
All i know is that im eagerly keeping my eyes open for what is coming out. I'd like something around 60watts, one 18650 so i can use my plethora of batteries, not having to buy more pairs. There are already boxes that fit that criteria, i want them to get cheaper, though. Im also interested to see if we're gonna start seeing temperature control on 60-100 watt devices. For the right price id be in.
