Well, I gave in and bought a 4. Not happy with it. The thing seems to take longer to draw, somehow. It's been designated as my purse backup...If the 3 I'm using goes yellow I switch to the 4. Weird.
The only difference I notice between the 2 is the fire button on the 4 is a little stiffer.
I've not gone back from box mods since then, but I do try to use fairly small and light ones. I wish the ones with replaceable batteries could be smaller and lighter. The iStick Pico 75W is about as small and light as I've been able to go, but I would prefer smaller and lighter than that.
Yes, I must be one of the few who has stayed with them. I'm not mechanically-minded, I have no one to advise me, and I'm old (plus, I spent the last year and a half dealing with cancer and looking for a newer e-cig wasn't high on my agenda). The thing works for me and although I know that eventually I won't be able to get new ones, I've stuck with them. I use Aspire ET-S tanks (also old) on top. I like the coils very much. I guess I don't know what I'm missing.
This seems like a good replacement for the VV3.

Uh, since you're still vaping and still an EX-smoker, I don't think you're missing anything, especially since you've gone through that ordeal and didn't smoke!
But, with the impending next steps of the Deeming, everyone should hunt down and get at least a few replaceable battery mods in their preferred power range. The Dooming will effectively ban any device not on the market before Feb. 2007 - that's basically everything. Mods you can put a new battery in will be needed in the future, but you have to have them now...
Yea, I've gone box myself. I picked up a few S-Body micros which are the smallest lightest 18650 available that had a DNA board. I top it with a super light titanium Achilles for a very light rig. Unfortunately they are discontinued. A few still may be able to be found left over out there. Fastech also offers one with a DNA 75 in it that I may bite on eventually if I ever break one of my DNA40's.
The Lost Vape Coral is 65mm high and takes a 16500 batteryI don't know much about it, as I just haven't bothered to check into it yet, but supposedly the DNA 60 should be coming out soon - if it hasn't already.
That should be a good chipset for somewhat smaller, replaceable battery powered devices - at least compared to stuff that uses the DNA 75.
I have a 3D printed DNA 75 device that is pretty light, but still too big compared to something like an iStick Pico 75W - though it certainly delivers power more smoothly than the Pico does.
I would like to see something with that lightness in a more reasonably pocketable size. That should be achievable with the DNA 60, but that remains to be seen.

They wedged the 75 in to the exact same iodized aluminum box as the 40. It is very small and light. I'm pretty sure it is the smallest package you will find with the DNA 75 or 60 (smaller and lighter than the Pico). And, in my opinion, the build and performance of the pico does not come close to the DNA equipped Macro. This talk has made me decide to go ahead and order one from FT. If I order it now I may see it in six weeks or so with those guys. Her is a linky $58.25 Authentic SBody Macro 75W TC VW APV Box Mod - 1-75W / 200-600'F(100-300'C) / 1*18650 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping .
I like the size of the Pico 75W. The SBody Macro is just too big in comparison, and the block-shaped design is totally unappealing as well. The iStick Picos don't run SS coils all that well, but they work well enough with stuff like NiFe30, etc. (Which is what I use nowadays anyway.) I still prefer DNA chipset performance, but devices that use their chipsets just tend to big and block-shaped, with very few exceptions.
The Lost Vape Vape Coral is a little bit more in the right size ballpark, but it still has that unnecessary block-shape brick thing going against it. A shame. The Boxer Mod DNA60 (in a non-V2 configured version) is a little more what I have in mind for what would be a nice, small and light, sized DNA 60 box mod design. Those still aren't out yet though. I'm sure we'll see more as time goes by. But, due to the FDA Deeming Regs, time is starting to run out, so maybe we won't see much more?
