18650 Tube APV Show & Tell

[jaytex1969]

I'm still rockin' the smok SID at 7-8 watts with single BCC technology in the 1.8-3.0 ohm range.

Pretty dated gear in these parts, but keeping me happy.

I've decided I like the 18650 tube variants, but I'm interested in a nicer unit in the same performance class.


So, here's what I ask of you, my foggy friends.

Show a pic of your favorite device in this form factor.

Tell us the one or two features you like the most.

Tell us one thing you dislike about it.

Finally, would you buy it again?

Thanks.

Jay

My SMOKTech SID

I like the light weight and the price was right.

I dislike the fact that I must remove the battery about twice a day and reinsert it because the unit powers down for no reason.

Would I buy it again? Actually, I did. I recently got a backup for $20 on clearance.

My SID has that same shut off problem hah. I replaced mine with a Vamo v7. The SID always seemed kinda 'weak' so I ended up using my MVP2 more often til I got the Vamo.

I have an elevator v2 on the way. It's an 18650, 18500, 18350 telescoping mod with a dna 30. High quality mods and I don't know why it doesn't have as much attention as it should. You can get it from vapist.com. It now comes with a sleeve that will make it look smooth from top to bottom in 18650 mode. It also comes with a 23 mm to 22 mm top ring to make 22mm attys look great. The two things I dislike about it are fixed with the extra goodies.

My favorite is my Sigelei Zmax (v3) --

Yes I would absolutely buy it again; it's the most dependable vape I own, and therefore, my favorite! What I love is how dependable it is, how versatile it is -- any battery from 18650 to 18350; I sometimes use an 18490 if I get tired of the "wand" feeling.

I'd be pretty hard-pressed to name anything about it I dislike; maybe that slight flaking of the "chrome" on the button, but considering some of the problems that some folks have those buttons, I'm fortunate that mine is only a cosmetic issue, not a functional issue.

I'm hoping that the higher-powered Sigelei box mods are as dependable and high-quality as this tube.

Andria, I just went over to the Sigelei Zmax (v3) thread and read some. In the latest posts, I learned that Kidney Puncher has them for $20 (and $3 s/h)

I couldn't resist and placed one on order.


Woohoo!!

The SVD 2.0 at Vaporbeast for $35 (after 10% coupon) is really hard to beat as well.

EDIT: Apparently Vaporbeast has a 15% off coupon this weekend: EGG. They are now out of the stainless version, but they still have black. At $32.96 this is the lowest it has ever been.
