What are the advantages and disadvantages of either Sigelei vs the IPV3. I am looking into a new box mod and can not decide which one to with. I am a heavy vapor. Most of my coils I build are .2 ohms or higher. I am thinking about going with the Sigelei for the simple fact of the magnets I hate messing with screws just takes unwanted time to put in new batteries. Usually vape around 55-65 watts. I have read several forums and watched videos and am having a very hard time deciding. Any help is great thanks!

yea the magnets are a huge plus.. for looks alone I would personally choose the ipv3.. but both brands are great performers
it's a toss up - do you care about the extra 50 watts? if not, you can obv find the sig100 at a really cheap price now.. or the ipv4 will be dropping soon too if you want to hold off..

Looks don't both me a bit to be honest. The 50 watts would be nice to have for certain dripper builds but not everyday use of course. Does the IPV4 have a magnetic back by chance? I read up and apparently the sig and ipv use the same chip in them. I know the ipv you can update the firmware via usb. I'm stuck between the 2. Not sure if this is true but heard something about the voltage being able to go lower on the ipv? Can't find that thread now or i'd post it.
If you're handy with a drill, you can make the IPV series have a magnetic backplate too. Tutorials all over youtube.

ipv3 can't be charged via usb, and the touch sensor doesn't work.. those are also 2 draw backs.. but you are getting more accurate ohm readings, more wattage, and upgradeable chip..
and yes the ipv4 has magnetic side door (batteries are housed on the side and not the back per say) .. not sure about the drop down info on either or but you really can't go wrong with either choice.. it's all about personal preference - all 3 of them are rock solid devices

IMHO, get the Sigelei.
Sadly, I have become a "Fanboy" of the brand.
So go ahead and get the 150 watt.
Or if you want to save a few $$ get the 100 Watt Plus.
I have the 100 Watt myself and I love it so much after using it for a few months, when I decided that I wanted something smaller and more shirt pocket friendly I purchased the Sigelei Mini 30 watt.
And I am totally digging on that as well.

Alright I am going to my local vape shop too and going to talk with my friend who works there and can give me his advice. Probably thinking about going with the sigelei and if I want to ill get the IPV3 or 4 when it is released. Money isn't really a issue I got a good paying job and do quite well for myself. Id buy both right now but I got car parts to buy and getting a new pistol today as well haha. Choices, choices.
I have an IPV2S and, while I love the clicky buttons on the hana that are a similar style, the IPV buttons tend to be a chore after a while. The sigelei button is nice, big and doesn't rattle. If I could magically change my ipv2s in to a sigelei 100w, i would do it in a heartbeat.
I have the ivp3 drilled out for magnets. Wishing I went with Sig 150 but oh well it's still a very good mod. Currently viewing the SX M class and ivp4 for temp control. New and exciting stuff coming for us

I preordered the IPV 4 here http://www.vaporizerchief.com/ipv4-100w-box-mod/ for 74.95 it comes with free shipping. Plus if you like their FB page you can get 10% off. Not a bad deal at all!
I own them both and they work just fine
