Backup Mod Recommendations

[Rathamar]

After Many months of searching, I have settled on my main out and about Mod as an MVP 30W and a Kanger Sub tank Mini. I still love my e-pipes & drippers at home, but it is really nice just to grab the MVP and go, no extra batteries, parts, juice bottles, etc.

I have been carrying my old MVP2 & a Nautilus as a backup, but the vape and flavor is very different then my main, it really doesn't work as a backup.

After doing a ton of research I have decided that I will be going with the Subtank nano, but I am at a loss for what mod to get.

My only must have is that it needs to output at least 20 watts and stay around $70 or under. I want something smaller then the MVP 30W which is the reason I have not just picked up on of those.

I would like on board charging but it is not a must have.

I am open to either a box or tub style.

i have looked at the iStick 30, but I am not sure the lip on it will look good with the nano.

Okay EFC, let me know your thoughts!

Get the istick 50W. Its still small and has oodles of battery life. They are my favorite out and about mods: great battery life, onboard charging, easy to use while driving, compact, cheap to replace if broken/lost/stolen.

I can definitely =1 the 50w. i love mine. Kbox is also a good back up. doesnt have inboard charging but is CHEAP AS CHIPS!!!

I'd bought a ZNA 50 for a back up to my Sigelei.
To make a long story short, my Igelei has become my back up.
You can find a ZNA 30 online for $30 shipped.
Well made device and it holding up nicely.
Fits the hand nicely & nice fire button.

I now have 3 different rigs I carry....Istick 20W with a Kayfun as a main vape, Nemesis 18650 with a Erlkinogen on the top as a backup( I bought both tanks as an experiment to see which one I like better. I like both) and an old Kamry K200 that I paid way too much for at a vape shop in PCB and I'm now just curious how much longer its gonna last.


But as a rule, I vape what I like till I get some spare change, by something completely different to experiment with and if it works good I just buy a bigger carry case and carry them all.


(With one exception, in my vape box on the Kitchen counter is an Ego 18650 mod that is my true backup.)

Jim - Where did you find the ZNA 30 at? I have looked at the sites that I normally buy from and they do not carry it.

If you can't use your backup PV for a hammer, and still vape it ... it isn't a reliable backup. The damn thing should still work even if Hell freezes over!
This is what I consider my backup PV.

It's over 4 years old, and even fell out of my duck blind a few years back, and spent a week in the mud at the bottom of Ogden Bay. It still works & looks like brand new.

Hey Rathamar!

I have the iStick 30 and iStick 50, and the Nano looks just fine on both of them I love the 30 for its compact size. I love the 50 for the battery life.....

Well you should know that it won't have a $49.99 Evolv chip set in it if it only costs $25.99

 

[Jim Beam]

Probably right, never use zna30.
All I do know is the ZNA 50 works great & appears to be well made.

But, for that price one isnt loosing much IF it ever goes bad.

It be a good starter for ones who are on a budget.

They have many other popular mods going for low prices there too.
