Hey guys and gals, I already have an istick 20W, and Istick 50W, a Vamo, and 2 Clouper mini's. I am using primarily Kayfuns V4's, kayfun lites and an orchard and I like using them between 10-15 watts. I have 6 RTA's and only 4 box mods (dont use the vamo) so I am looking to pick up a couple new shinny's. Any suggestions for a VW box mod preferably 30W's and where can I get the best deal on it with fast shipping. I looked at the sigelei 30w and the Istick 30W and a few others but want your recommendations before buying.

I'm 100% behind the istick, and I've said it many times. Rock solid for me, even after taking a dive in a glass of water.
I know there were issues reported with the 20's, and lately with the 50's, but I have 2 30's and a 50 and they are just point and shoot... Very undervalued, yet reliable.

At the moment I am looking to buy an Istick 30W because so far the Isticks have been perfect performers to me. Also a Smok Xpro M65 and a IPV mini 5 30W. I looked at some of the Sigeleis but just didnt like the box mods I seen. I dont need 70W or 150W and thats all I seen offered at this time. If you know of a 30W Segeleis Monotremata, let me know the model and where I can look at one at.

What Sigelei 30w were you talking about then? There's the old 30w tube mod that no one talks about, and there's the newer Sigelei 30w Mini which IS a box mod but its nowhere near the size of the 100 or 150w ones. Sigelei never made a 70w box.. You can find the Mini everywhere for under $40.

Vaporshark reduced the price of their DNA 30 to $69. I picked one up from the classifieds last week and it's rock solid. It needs a skin because the finish is delicate but it has a good 510 and a proven board. I've had a number of atty's with builds from .5 up and it's been absolutely flawless.

I went back and tried to find what I was looking at yesterday but it appears I was reading about one and thinking about another. I could of swore it said Sigelei 50 watt upgradable to 70 watt which to me is waaaay too much for my vaping style plus they wanted $90 for it. Thanks for correcting me. looking at the 30W mini now.

Im not too familiar with them, but you may have been looking at the IPVs. Yeah the Mini 30w is great. Just be careful with the 510 threads, one of mine wore out and will ONLY take my Derringer now, my Kayfuns just pop right off of it. But it was one of the very first ones that came out and Sigelei has made some changes to them along the way. The 510 pin on it was pretty high up and I think I wore out the threads by having to push my attys down to screw em on everytime. I bought a second one about a month ago and its waaaaay better. I shouldve known not to buy one when they first came out cause Sigelei always fixes and changes things along the way just like they did with the Zmaxs.. The Mini is about the size of a deck of playing cards, but not as wide. Fits in the hand and pocket perfectly.

$70 for a new VS DNA30, that's pretty darn good.

I picked up one from the classifieds that was 4 months old for $55 with a sharkskin and the wife really liked it. She had me get a VS DNA 40 for myself yesterday because she really wants the 30. I got the DNA 40 large screen scratch and dent sale for $104. Now I'm questioning my self a little. I've only built below .5 once to see what the istick 50w could fire but I am curious about temp control.

The coolfire 4 looks cool and is suppose to be shipping this month yet Innokin doesnt list it on their web page yet. Would be interesting to see if it will use dual batteries or not.

Yeah there is not much info on it. Unfortunately I think it has a internal built in battery pack. I personally like replaceable battery devices, but if the price is fair I'd consider it.

Now that was fast, the IPV 5 mini showed up today and its sweet. Feels good in the hand, gives a good warm vape at 13 watts and I like it all around with the exception of one thing. As long as the fire button is held the display is bright but the moment you let it go the display goes dim.
