Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

A Box mod quality, quite heavy but in the end the format is well in hand.
The buttons remain easily accessible, and are pleasant to use.
For my part I shoot with the index finger, holding the mod with its “back” in the crook of my thumb. The aluminum remains quite fragile however and marks rather quickly.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The SX330 V3 S 150W chipset from YIHIECIGAR offers here titan performances, from 7w to 150w (for the moment), its firmware is upgradable via the micro-usb port present on the mod.
The recharge of the mod can be done via an AC adapter (sold separately), this will save you from taking your batteries out of the mod.

Note that the mod can save 5 settings, named M1 to M5. Very easy to use, just press the “+” button and you can access it, if you want to change the power value, press “-” and adjust your power, once done, you just have to shoot for the mod to save it. A little confusing at first because the reflex of pressing “+” to increase the power is not the case, it will switch you to the “preset” mode and therefore you can quickly find yourself with a setting not suited to your atomizer, like a good 50W in my Taifun-GT… .. yum the dry;), a habit to take.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

This mod being a double battery box (battery) in 18650, it is quite impressive. It will therefore be quite difficult to carry it in your pocket.
For those who have discharged batteries, therefore to change, do not forget a small screwdriver (cruciform or torx).
Personally, I changed the torx screws by the cruciform ones because I don't have a toolbox for each move (the screws are provided)

The mood ticket of the reviewer

The IPV3 is a monster of power, the YiHiEcigar SX330 V3S 150W chipset thus provides everything an advanced user or a beginner needs.
Power, protection, whatever the assembly and the atomizer (type 510). It adapts to almost all atomizers (except those which have an airflow via the 510 pin) thanks to its floating 510 stud. An important autonomy thanks to the fact that two 18650 batteries are present.
The size of this mod however makes it difficult to use outside of home, the transport will be done thanks to a bag.
My vaping experience with this mod is excellent, it can handle everything, it's a bit like the Swiss army knife of electronic mods, perfect for those who hesitate between a mechanic and an electronic!
The price is reasonable depending on what this mod brings.

The touch button function on the top of the mod is disabled

Provide two IMR 18650 batteries with high discharge power, as well as the AC adapter to simplify your life!
