I have a IPV2.....but what next?
ZNA with an 18650 tube?
Hold out for the Siggy 100w?

I would grab a Hana clone, but I think I prefer WIHI chips over the DNA clones.

All of the above? JUST OWN ALL THE THINGS??

I'm seriously considering a Supermax by Artisan Vaping. Sorry, too tired and lazy to post a link right now, but you'll find some stuff by searching for "Supermax" or "Super Max." Staff member Smokie has a video review as well.

Vaporshark rDNA seems real solid, too.

Just looked up the Supermax....proprietary battery pack killed it for me.

I'm trying to reduce my population of tube mods (all mechanical clones, two "half clones"). My next purchase...perhaps next TWO will be box or box'ish.

I have no idea if these Z Gripper clones are actually any good, but I have had good dealings with the vendor ... http://www.vaportekusa.com/zgripper-36-by-tobeco/

I love the XPV just for its looks and compactness - http://www.protovapor.com/product/protovapor-xpv-30/ - but again, I couldn't tell you about actual performance.

One member here - @Scuba-Matt - has a pretty slick looking box mod called the Atlas (by Tatroe - http://www.cigtechs.com/The-Atlas-50W-Black-_p_553.html) ... I believe he's very happy with his.

The Atlas is worth every cent. YiHi SX350 board, User upgradeable to 60 watts now and 80 in the near future. outstanding battery life for a single cell 18650 device. solid as a rock. 1.5 volts to 9.5 volts of power means the board has step down voltage. don't be fooled by a device that only puts out 6 volts and claims 100+ watts of power. That's a bit misleading.
You can also go over to FB and join the box modders group, Lots of nice custom made devices under $200 and lots over

I've heard 60w is as far as they're planning on going with the current SX350 board. You have any links that discuss going up to 80w to share? And yea I agree it's a fantastic modders board with tons of power.

thing is, ppl always ask this question without saying how much they want to spend.

how much do you want to spend?
how long are you willing to wait?

I have heard they are working out the bugs in the 60 watt software and then will move onto the 80 watt upgrade. If you have the first version of the SX350 (18 gauge wire) its not recommended to do any firmware upgrades above 50 watts without upgrading the wiring to at least 16 gauge. YiHi will be releasing the new SX350 V200 board in December 2014. It will be 200 watt capable. WTF how much power do we need?

I hope your right I'd like to see 80w, but in the other forum the talk is 60w is as far as this chip's going to go but there will be a new SX350 v100 in a few weeks and then the v200 in December. I know there was a public announcement that the 100w would not be released to the public just passing on what I've read. This info is based on some testing I had done on the SX350 and Varitube getting with YIHI to validate my results. Essentially from the horse's mouth via their distributor or at least what they're telling their distributor :)
