A good starter "box" type battery

[Clo]

I currently have a smok 1300vv battery that I use with my Nautilus mini's and Aspire ET-S tanks and I very much like this set-up. But this weekend we are having a VapeJam at the racetracks here in OKC and I am sure there will be many vendors there. I am thinking about getting a smaller box style battery that will work well with my nautilus mini tanks. I think the box style will work better for me when I go out because they look like they will sit upright and not fall over at the slightest shake of the table etc. lol. I don't need a massive amount of bells and whistles, but if anyone can suggest a good one that is smaller that can still easily fit in my jeans pocket that is not terribly expensive, I will be on the look-out at this Vapejam to buy one. Thanks!

Wattage? 10watts or so? They have the 10 and 20 mini Isticks. Innokin CF4 seems popular. Egrip also for portability.

I've never had a battery with the ability to adjust the wattage so I'm open to suggestions on that possibility as well. Mainly I don't want it to be huge, or too expensive, and something that works well with my nautilus mini tanks. I love this tank

Sigelei Mini 30W Watt Box Mod - have a couple, a bargain at this price ... 33

Then a good safe charger - Nitecore D4 Digicharger - Chargers - Batteries, Chargers, and PowerPax Carriers
And batteries 18650 Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh High Discharge FLAT Top
33 + 22 + 5 a battery

If you want a fixed battery there are other options but being able to have 1 or 2 fresh charged batts ready for me at least always beats waiting fir something to charge

+1 on the Sig mini for removable batteries. The CoolFire4 is a nice mod. The iStick 20 or 30 would do nicely, as would the MVP 3.0

iStick 30 watt (2200 mah), Coolfire 4 (2000 mah)are two of the most popular. Both have internal batteries. The iStick 40 w with temperature control (2600 mah) is new out. Internal battery, and works with the Nautilus.You won't need extra batteries with any of these. For a larger internal battery the Innokin 30W is a little larger in size (3800 mah) but is a solid unit.

I really like the iStick 30 and 40. They make a 20 watt but it's had a few issues and is not powerful enough to run a subtank if you go that way in the future.

If you get a mod, set it to watts and start about 8 watts with the Nautilus. Take a hit and bump it up if you want. If it gets too warm or starts to taste burnt then back it down.

Both of these look to be just the right size. My son just knocked over my vape for the second time this morning on the kitchen table as I sit here reading, so just making me all the more sure I want something like this that is a little more solid sitting up. Lol.

As long as you get 30 watts or more you really can't go wrong. Being able to really dial in the watts makes the Nautilus shine.

So for the I stick, when you are pressing on the up or down arrows you are adjusting wattage, not voltage right? And then it automatically adjusts the voltage depending on what you choose for wattage? Just making sure I understand. Thanks!

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

3 clicks on the fire button will change to wattage / or voltage. With an iStick you can control one or the other. In a regulated mod (like the iStick) if you adjust the wattage, the mod will adjust the voltage and vice versa. It's a safety feature. Once you find your sweet spot then you can hold down both arrows at the same time and it lockes the arrows from accidental touch which would change the setting. 5 clicks on the fire button turns it on or off.

Great thanks! Sounds perfect. I think I will be on the look out for one of these. I found my sweet spot with the nautilus mini's on my Smok vv battery, so I'm sure I would really like this iStick. If no one has any at this shindig this weekend then I see plenty of places online selling them for decent prices.

I think, if you get one, your current rig will be quickly relegated to backup

I was hesitant to get the TC 40w, and ended up getting the 30w istick instead. (Just wasn't sure I wanted something so new until it had run the gauntlet of more experienced users). The 30w is great. It fits in my skinny jean **FRONT** pockets (wooooohooo) and the battery life is great. I pair mine with a nautilus mini an 1.8 coils and use between 11-18 watts depending on my juice. All around, great little set up, pretty durable, easy maintenance.
The ONLY thing I would change is to get a bending adapter. (it's in my cart for my next order) When my istick is in my pocket the nautilus mini sticks out a bit. I think the adapter is going to make it a bit more compact to fit in my pocket. Plus, with the heat around here, I can set my istick down when I'm outside and not worry about the tank leaking since it's upside down.



Also, got my at MBV, ordered a case (looks like an eyeglass case) for it too (I was worried about the glass on the mini) and with the coupon I think it was like $30

Whoa that's pretty nifty!

I'm pumped to get it in and see how it works. Yay for things that fit into girl jean pockets.

Yep. I think my Smok vv stick battery would be my back up and used with my smaller ET-S tanks in the evening when Hurricane Gavin (my son) has gone to bed and can't knock it over repeatedly. Lol.

If you don't mind, after you get it and try it out, let me know how you like it. That is definitely something I would like to try if it works well. I am constantly carrying mine around in my pocket.
