I'm looking for a quality variable voltage variable wattage mod that comes in pink, preferably hot pink . It doesn't have to have temp control. I already know about the kanger subox nano and ordered one but it is a disgusting pepto bismo shade of pink, it looks nothing like the pictures.

Any suggestions appreciated.

The Defender 50W offers what looks like a (hot?) pink...

The Cloupor Mini Plus offers what's labeled a "Hot Pink" one (but in pictures kinda' looks lavender)...

Having (as yet) NO interest in TC...I became, nevertheless, quite interested in the eVic-VTC Mini...based on its itty-bitty size, step-down/buck capability, spring-loaded 510 pin, big/bright screen and upgradable firmware.

I had never ordered from Efun.top and was a little wary of their $28.89 price (which was $10-$20 cheaper than other sites) (And by the fact that they mixed up the VTC-Mini with the VT in the description on the page).

They charged $4.98 for shipping ("ePacket to USA with Tracking Number").

The Tracking Number didn't really update...but...I received it in my mailbox exactly 10 days after I ordered it.

The packaging was the same as the "Unboxing YouTube videos"...and it had a "joyetech Scratch Check Authenticity Code".

After 2 days of use...I love the VTC-Mini...and would have no hesitation in ordering from Efun in the future.

Seems some folks are having problems with it in TC mode. I have had one for about two weeks and have had no problems and found it to work rather nicely both in TC and VW.

Enjoy it in good health, gerry!

Thanx VT...

After 3 days of use...I'm really liking this eVic-VTC Mini.

(Because of my idiosyncratic unease with the possibility of silver leeching into e-liquid [based on YouTube videos]...I've only been using it in the VW mode.)

It's slightly larger than my 30W-iSticks...which I'm assuming is due to it having a replaceable 18650. But it's noticeably smaller than my iPV Mini.

And...the screen!!! Comparing the 30W-iStick/iPV Mini screens to the VTC-Mini's screen...it's like when I replaced my 24" Standard Definition TV with a 60" High Definition one!

For me...it's $30 (less than ½ carton of analogs) very well spent...

Do you fire with your thumb and is it comfortable to hold even though neither side is curved?

I'm ambipushbuttonrous; I use both my thumb and index finger (but not at the same time). The button is very nice. The hand feel ( :ohmy: ) is fine, although I still prefer curves. I've gotten used to the hand feel ( :ohmy: ) even while switching back and forth with the D2, Subbox, and iStick 40TC, all of which have better hand feel ( :ohmy: ).

There are spring loaded Kbox minis now available at gearbest and 3Fvape? But gearbest answers the direct question....

http://www.gearbest.com/vv-vw-mods/pp_193603.html

[they're also still selling the earlier version so make sure if you order]


Question: This is upgraded version with new spring loaded 510 pin? Or its old version with a fixed 510 pin?

Reply:
Hi,Artur!
This item is the latest version with new spring loaded 510 pin.
Thanks for your inquiry.

Picked this mod up for $30 at a local b&m on Monday... 50 watt, 2600 mAh internal, SS 510 with spring loaded center pin. Size wise, it's 84 mm x 36.25 mm x 23 mm and very light.

Is the button on the narrow edge? I'm thinking it would feel similar in-hand to a CF4. Wonder how heavy it is, and the height.
L93mm*W46mm*D24/14mm per Cigreen on Alibaba.
Aluminum & SS; no weight stated on the page I looked at.

I wonder about hand feel. I always wonder about hand feel.

Oh Gurus of small and semi affordable, I truely need your assistance! My I stick 50 has a wonky firing button that randomly sticks and stops firing. I need that long lasting battery power and small size, Not necessarily high watts. Can you point me in the right direction?

Is it still under warranty? Contact your vendor and/or manufacturer directly and ask for a replacement. Those iSticks 50 have a lot of problems, including auto-firing, and you really don't want that to happen.

Good luck!

Are you looking for a different mod with built in battery? TC or no TC?

Cool Fire 4, Heatwave Defender, iStick 30. Just for starters.
