18350 friendly VV

[myxomatosis]

My goal is to acquire the smallest VV PV that accepts 18350. I have a Vamo V2 that I've been using for several months but it's large to me even with the extension off using a single 18350, so I'm looking for something with similar performance that has a smaller form factor (and isn't $150+ preferably). I typically use standard resistant atty's to give myself flexibility for VV. I've looked at the Vamo V3 - it's bigger than the v2 to accomidate a larger LCD from what I gather, and the iTaste is even larger than that. The lavatube v2 is huge also. Are there are comparible PV's that come with a slightly smaller form factor that I'm missing?

theres the zmax tele, but the problem you will keep running into is the room needed for the vv/vw board and screen maybe get a cheap mechanical tele and a crown chip for vw

vaping Zone appears to be selling the Segelei V8. It's a gripper-style V-V box mod that uses 2 IMR 18350 button-top batteries simultaneously, which in my experience with mine (purchased from another vendor) provides about the same use as a typical 18650 battery). It's voltage range is 3.0 - 6.0 volts. Built-in ohm and battery meters. Rubberized black body. 510-eGo connector adaptor included. Generic IMR batteries (2) and 2 bay generic charger included in the kit.

Sigelei V8 Box Mod VV Kit 3 to 6 volt - Rubberized Black - E Cig : Best Ejuice | Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes

My V-8 is lightweight, slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes so it is pocket worthy (5-click on/off switch). The dual batteries (not stacked) last me all day. Plastic body is impact resistant, but obviously would not be as durable as a metal bodied mod. I purchased mine with a nice leather pouch/lanyard from Discount Vapors which provides protection from accidental drops.
Sigelei V8 Leather Pouch I really like mine and for $60 (kit) it's a worthy candidate for your consideration.

Right off hand all I can think of is a Legacy with extension tube and kick. I know it's not vv but the kick gives you lots of options. Also you can sometimes find a blem Provari mini for $140 usd. I got both and they work great and are very pocket friendly.
And no this is not a Provari rant or rave. Just an answer to the OP.

thanks for the suggestions!

tnt, not really interested in kicking. I've been considering the Provari mini but if I got something slight less expensive I'd have a little more room for batteries and other accessories in the budget.

Torn between the other two suggestions now, zmax tele in 18350 mode does look pretty dang small. But I REALLY like the idea of having 2 unstacked for the for sure all day power that V-8 would provide - just not a huge box mod fan but I'm seriously considering it.

Does anyone know if the zmax tele is significantly shorter than the vamo v2 using a single 18350?

A little size comparison...

A pic I found online of a Zmax V3 next to a Provari mini

My Vamo in 18350 mode next to my Provari mini next to my SVD

A crappy job of photo editing, but it'll give you the idea.

The Vamo and the Zmax appear to be about the same size.

double aa i really appreciate you giving me the side by side. super helpful. looks like i need to bite the bullet and get a mini..

all im going to say is its a hard pill to swallow at first but the provari is worth it in the end.

If you patient just wait and keep checking the Provape clearance section. You can pick up a blem for $140. I've got two satin silver blems and it took me 2 days to find the blem on both of them.
