I have only had the IPV5 and as I have previously stated the power up/down buttons do freeze from time to time, you can’t adjust your wattage. Not sure why that happens but it is a known problem for many, for me and many others though it goes away by itself and aside from that it is a solid mod. Not sure if the IPV400 would suffer that same problem but I doubt it, I am pretty sure they would have ironed that out by now. Even with that problem the IPV5 is still a really popular mod with owners including myself.
I am not sure, maybe others can chime in on the IPV400 but if it uses a Yihi chip then that is one of the top chips on the market. I would say from personal experience that DNA’s are #1, followed by the Hohm FSK chip then the Yihi chip but others may have that different.
I have the IPV4, I’ve had it for well over a year (and it looks like it too!) but the fire button broke about 4 months ago, my mate at work fixed it last week and handed it me back, I was so happy about it haha, it was the most reliable mod I ever owned up until that point, no weird electrical gremlins, it was the contact plate inside the button had just become too compressed, over used lol, its running perfectly now as it always did, I’ll be getting a pioneer4you again for sure
I’ve always been afraid of them because they are always so scratched and chipped when I’ve seen them. I’d like something of good quality that will still look nice after 6 months. Thank you both for the advice…off to watch some youtube reviews The 6X looks purty too!
I totally get what you mean, I generally get silver mods because I do not like when a mod get nicked up, I like to keep my mods looking as new as possible.
I did accidently knocked my IPV5 off of our counter height kitchen table, was yelling NOOOOOO as it happened…but it only suffered 3 little scars that are hard to see, I can see them all though…sigh.
There is 2 at the top, 1 at the bottom from the 4 foot fall:
Talk about jinxing myself, right after I finish that post I get up to take the IPV5 to the garage for a nice vape session and knock my SS Stout with SS Steam Engine tank off the kitchen counter and on to the floor. This time I didn’t yell NOOOOOOO, just a stunned silence. No one was around so I picked it up before anyone could come to the kitchen to see what a clutz I am.
Luckily I had taken out the battery to charge and the tank was empty, no real damage that I can see…phew. After the defibrillator session to get my heart started again I can say that tragedy was averted
I feel your pain, this was me after having the Priv for 2 weeks, I was walking out to the garden as it slipped out of my dressing gown pocket and caught my foot as I stepped forward, I booted it across the patio, I was stood there in shock waiting for it to stop sliding, luckily I had a dripper on and not a tank but the damage was there, small crack, lots of chips, worked fine though lol
I still have the bruise on my left big toe from were my red hohm wrecker G2 fell from my hand and just nailed my toe, my toe suffered more damage than the G2 though, that sucker is tough.
Happy your H-Priv still works fine, it is a good mod.
I am starting to think I might have to have the tile and carpet replaced with the stuff they use in a bouncy house, with my luck though my mod would bounce right up and nail me right in the forehead…lol
Yeah those G2s are solid. Inside and out. Best mod I’ve ever owned. I have a G1 as well and think I’m going to buy the G2 board for it. Much cheaper than buying a new unit as a whole, and they are very simple to swap.
Keep track of this thread, last 4th of July vaporcube had a sale on the refurb G2’s for about $54 each if I remember correctly, I bought 3 and they all looked like new. If they do have another killer sale like that I will post it here, might add another one myself as they are my favorite mods.
I picked up a couple of the G2’s on sale from there as well , can’t say it’s my favorite mod but I will say it is a good mod and a bargain at that price.Mine also looked like new and not like a refurb.
The SDNA75 is a real solid mod, the only thing for me is it is a single 18650 and is so thin it only accommodates 22mm tanks. I still use mine though but when this went on sale: https://ecig-city.com/collections/hardware-sale/products/hcigar-vt-75-75w-temperature-control-mod?variant=26727067395 for the same price if you sign up for an acct first and get the 10% off coupon it is one great road mod. Love the 26650 for the road, long life and it accommodates up to 30mm tanks with no overhang if you need an Exxon Valdez sized tank to get you through the day.
You can’t go wrong with a DNA board, that’s for sure.
I have the black one , am waiting for the wood grain to get in stock.
I couldn’t agree more , luckily I have 6 DNA200 mods as well as a Hcigar VT133 .I have over an hour commute to and from work so I use the 200’s on the drive but keep the SDNA in my pocket at work.I usually burn through three battery changes during my 10 hour shift.Vaping is allowed at my workplace and I chain vape!
I have thought about picking up a VT75 instead of another SDNA75.Do you have both , if so how much of a size difference is there.
I have run a 25mm tank on my SDNA , but it doesn’t look very tidy.
The 6X looks purty too!
