Hi! I've been making bod mods..w a 14500. Im looking at maybe giving 18350 or 16340 a shot. I like the stealthy size of my boxes but the batt life isnt cutting it anymore.

18650 is just too big..I'm hoping for some suggestions on mods or batteries that will improve my experience. I just tried my first clearo a vision extreme 2.5mL and like it but its ugly and wouldn't feel cool out and about in public.
I'm thinking about a mini vivi and will prob order one, just attempting to put a little thought into purchases bc I'm a little low on funds is like to keep the mod around $50 or lower but am willing to save up for the perfect small effective pv.
Please help w advice about the difference in performance between a 14500 vs a 16340 or 18350 or maybe even a 18500 the smaller the better. If I vape allday I go thru 2 14500's. And maybe advice on the best affordable 18350 that I can use w a mini vivi :) TY!!!!

How many mAh are your 14500's? How many do you think you'll need to keep you happy? I don't have an answer to your question, but am hoping someone will come along with the perfect model for you.

Personally, I'm partial to the 18650's because a 2200 mAh battery lasts me the better part of 2 days so I don't have to carry spares, or even a charger if I go away for the weekend. They are big, but I have a bottom feeder so it's not this huge, tall contraption with a tank on top- it's rather pocket friendly.

Madvapes has decent very well priced mods- if you're thinking of a bottom feeder checkout the APV section for comparisons. There are some available in your price range.

Theyre aw imr's ..the 18650 is just too big for my taste. I dont mind carrying a spare batt or two. I just want better performance I can tell they drop off after an hour of heavy vaping. And am looking for ideas on what would look good w a vivi mini I just took a peek at the pics of your setup thread and the p+16 looked pretty nice. I tried googling 18350 box mod and looked at mods database and didnt have much luck. I'm willing to spend up to $150 ish but would like to keep it low as possible..

the 18350 wont last all day if your a heavy vapor i go threw 2 18350 a day but i am a heavy vaporer also vivi nova mini or regfular are great they last a long time produce a ton of vapor and give you the power to switch atomizers cant beat it i own two of em and love em also an 18500 or 18490 battery may just be perfect for ya i own a bolt and the 18500 last all day. the lavatube vv device rarely leaves my hand though so im not using the bolt all day like the lavatube and always use AW batteries they are a little more expensive but well worth it ive bought cheepie batteries and they just dont last
