New dual 18650 controlled mod - the fourth dimension

[Winblows]

I'm looking for a new dual 18650 controlled mod and found many, but ...
... not all mods that I found advertise with the fourth dimension - the weight! I mean, 200g+ is way too heavy.

I already use eGo like batteries and single 18650 mods, but I want a new dual, that don't need any reinforcements of my pockets caused by the fourth dimension (weight) of the mod itself. I mean, 200g+ is to heavy.

I don't have many requirements for the electronics, just the basic security protection and Watt regulation.

Any ideas?

The new vaporesso revenger mod is very sleek, good looking and lightweight. You might wanna check it out.
HTH.

I just had a look at it, before I started this thread, but no weight at the specs. ...

The Smok Alien weights in at 143g.
With the batteries installed, it would be about 270g.

How about the Pico dual battery that's gotta be pretty light. Looks a bit odd though. Let us know what you decide.

Yes, I have a look at it, but ...
... it will look silly in a pocket
It looks like a perfect table mod - because of its dimensions, it will not tilt that easy on a table.

The Pico dual is heavier than the Alien, as is the Revenger (220g).
The lightest mod I know of, is the IPV 6x with 140g. But buildquality of the Alien is so much better, that I wouldn't recommend that one.

Is that the weight of the revenger with or without the batteries included?

A dual 18650 mod IMO can be considered 'light' below 150gr (batteries excluded), assuming it's made of metal of course

I love the feel of the alien in my hand but I've had two this year & not been reliable.
If I was to get a dual mod I'd go with the Wismec predator. I've never had problems with 510 on wismec mods though so guess I'm lucky!

I'm on my 3rd Alien since the 1st march. Really hoping the one I have now will last at least six months. We'll see I suppose. The one I'm using now is the older revision A which the store I got it from says should be ok as it has a different board to the revision b. It's the best mod I've ever had just unreliable. Not sure what I'll be buying next but won't be upgrading until the warranty has expired and the Alien dies. Hopefully at least a year from now. Happy vaping.

My current one is okay too, just hope it lasts longer than the others. It's opposite with me though, the version b is running without issues. The one I had before this doesn't even display owt, just a black screen but your right they do seem unreliable

FastTech says without batteries.

The Predator seems to have a really lousy 510. I don't know if they fixed the issue properly.

My Alien goes strong for 8 months now. Aside from some scratches I had no problems so far.

If you don't need the advertised 220 watts, the Sigelei Fuchai Plus or the Kaos Spectrum might be worth a look too. Due to its amplimit of 35a it will put out the 220 watts only at a resistance of around 0,2 ohms.

The new Smok GX2/4 might be worth a look too.

^ Yeah, I was going to suggest the GX 2/4 in 2-battery mode.

I always recommend trying to rotate if you go with cheap devices like the Alien, really any SMOK, eleaf, etc. I realize not everyone can do this and the point of going cheaper is to save money, but if you can afford two, do it so it's not your only mod. The only time I've ever had a cheap mod crap out under 6 months was when it was my only good device; since then they've all lasted at least a year with heavy, but not daily/constant, use. Just my $0.02.

I've got an mvp2 a defender 36w a Kbox 70 an aspire CF sub ohm battery and they all still work perfectly ok. The only one I've had problems with is the Alien. Fantastic vape but won't be buying another one which is such a pity. Vape on and live long.

I agree I have like 12 mods in rotation, less chance of just one mod capping out. I get years out of them.

The cf sub ohm is cool, I have the Aspire k4. Not much different, comes with a cleito though

A few weeks ago I was looking for dual battery mods for out of the house carry. I've been carrying a little zipper case with a small juice bottle and an extra battery for my Pico 75W.

I ended up buying the Alien 220w and the Pico Dual. I like both, but the Alien is my new mod for away from home use. The Alien is flat sided and the batteries are in line instead of at a right angle to the atomizer like the triangular shape of the Pico Dual. Both it and the Pico Dual give me about 30 hours vaping, including the clock time for sleep. So, I'm getting about 24 vape hours out of either.

The Alien goes with me when I leave the house and the Pico Dual is my around the house mod, just to keep them evenly used. As someone uptopic said, the triangle shape of the Pico Dual keeps it from getting knocked over on a table when you reach for it and touch it with a finger before grasping it. Atomizers make these thing way too top heavy.

Tootle puffers will like the Pico Dual better than the Alien 220w because the Pico Dual goes from 1w to 200w in TC and Wattage modes. The Alien goes from 6W to 220W in wattage mode, but down stops at 15W in TC mode. For me, that's too hot and starves my Kayfun wicks. I don't need 1 watt for anything, but it's nice to be able to turn it down for a new wick and coil and back up to 10W or 12W when it breaks in.

The Rebel Mod - YiHi 350j V2
68 gr.
with two batteries 161 gr.

I'm really liking this one
Loch Ness Box Mod by Envii - The Cloudy Vapor

 

[Winblows]

I already have a Wismec Noisy Cricket II (134g) and a Joyetech eVic VTC Dual (207g).
Adding 2x45g for the batteries ends up over 200g before I put the tank on the top.
So, when I leave home with my modest gear in my jacket pocket, I look like my shoulders are out of order.
I'd like to go below 200g with an approx. 2ml tank, if possible. That means a mod under 100g.
I like the weight of The Rebel Mod - YiHi 350j V2 @Mehmet Bizcanli, but I'll prefer something more flat.
