Backup regulated mod to istick 50?

[3mhmama]

I've had an istick 50 for the last few months and have been very happy. I haven't had any of the issues I've read about here in ecf, but those issues raised by others do have me concerned, wondering if it's just a matter of time before it malfunctions.

I'm thinking it might be good to pick up a backup regulated mod just in case. I'm looking for something small like the istick that ranges from 30w-50w. My builds lately have been anywhere from .5 to 1.4 depending on my mood. I don't anticipate doing nickel builds to take advantage of temperature control is something I'm going to do, unless nickel produces significantly better flavor than kanthal.

Any suggestions?

ipv mini or the ipv mini 2

I suggest a replacement vs a backup!!

It looks like the ipv line is the latest hot box mod line after the istick series. Any others out there that folks like? How about sigelei?

Lot's of options out there. What's your budget? Replaceable battery or non? If you like the your istick maybe get the 30w version. Not many complaints of defects with those. Mines been great! The price has come down on them too.

Yeah, too many choices!

I'd like to stay under $80.

Like Cirrus said, Istick 30W. I have one coming, $30 from Vapenw.com. I know there are better ones with replaceable batteries though. It's whether that's worth the cost to you.

I'd agree with the iStick 30W or go the route of the ipv mini 2 70W. With the ipv, you'll need batteries and I'd highly recommend a separate quality battery charger. I have 2 of the iStick 50's and not had an issue with either, love them.

The Kanger Subox kit is due out soon. The mod looks nice and for less than your $80 budget you will also get a STm.

I just saw there's a coop for the joyetech evic vt. I know I said I wasn't interested in temp control (need to understand it better first), but the mod itself looks so sweet that I think I may go with that one!

That's the one I was going to suggest and you can find it within your budget if you don't get the full kit. It as well as any temp control mods I'm aware of out will work with Kanthal just like a mod without temp control and it does give you the option to try it if you choose.

Aside from temp control it looks sweet, made by a well respected company, battery has 5000mah capacity and it's priced competitively.

I just recently got an IPV mini v2 and really like it. I would get this as a replacement. It goes from 7-70w. only gripe is its a little wobbly when stood up and the 510 can come a bit crooked. I only notice the 510 with really long tanks and i have heard it is fixable. If you just want a back up then the KBOX would prob be good. also, for a non replaceable battery option, ive heard good things about the heatvape defender 30w, or ivader 50w with temp control. the sigelei 50w or 30w are also somewhat higher quality options but still reasonably priced

IPV mini 2 does not down-regulate. On a fresh battery charge you're sitting at around 35w for a 0.5ohm coil or 17.5w for a 1ohm, even if you set the device less. Not a huge deal for me, just thought it worth mentioning

i concur with waiting for the subox. at least the full reviews so you can make a decision.

Yup, decided I had to have the yellow evic vt with racing stripe! Now waiting for vape mail!
