Best box mod around $75?

[staticmotion]

Hey there guys, I'm new to the forum (just got out of the "New Members Forum only restriction ) and I came here to this wonderful community which I've been lurking for quite some time to ask a question.

My current setup is the tried-and-true nautilus Mini + istick combo, which I love. I also bought my first dripper (Infinite Plume Veil clone) about three days ago, and my first successful build came out at 1.2 ohms, which gives me a good vape at around 12W.

Now, I'm looking for a box mod that can give me, essentially, two things:

- Reliability and durability to last at least ​10 months;
- Capability to power down to 0.3 ohm builds.

My budget is around $75, maybe $80, $85 is pushing it.

I live in Portugal, so the website has to be good for international shipping with acceptable shipping rates.

I've been looking at the iPV Mini (doesn't seem to offer a whole lot more than what my iStick can do), the Cloupor DNA30 (not quite sure what to think of it yet, I've been getting mixed signals) and the Sigelei 100, which goes a bit over my budget, but if all other options seem lacking this may be my pick.

I've given up on the iPV 2 & 3, because everywhere I look they seem to be priced over $100.

I hope someone can help me, thank you in advance!

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this purchase will be made in a month's time (maybe less), I'm just planning ahead. If you think there are some good options coming up during that time, I have the patience to wait for it.

Istick 50watt will be available soon. 4400mah internal battery. .2ohm capable, 2-10volts and a spring loaded 510 all for under $60 roughly.

Durability remains to be seen.

Smok Xpro M50 and soon to be released M65. Both should be under $70 nearly everywhere.

$99 vaporshark dna 30.

I did check that one out, but I ruled out all of the VaporSharks for the same reason I set the Sigelei 100w aside: they're all $100+. But if it does come to that, which wins the battle of VSDNA30 x Sig100W?

The VS has an evolv DNA chipset which is arguably the best you can get these days. And I'm not a fan of running 100 watt mods, I couldnt help but imagining all those juice molecules got burnt and start forming something else that might turn you into the hulk or poisoned.

There is a hana 50w on fasttech... I think its under $50, so you can get a good battery to go in it (better get two, just incase - about $8 each on RTDVapor/Ilumnination supply) and maybe even a new RDA/RTA/Tank.
What are you looking for? you mention you want to build lower (down to .2), are you cloud chasing, or just wanting to try out different builds? I'm no cloud chaser by any stretch of the imagination, but I've been very happy with my 30w hana clone (fires down to .6).

Welp, just attempted to order and it doesn't ship to my location. Bummer, that one looked solid.

Well, I don't consider myself a cloud chaser per se. Of course, I enjoy chucking some bigger clouds than I can get off my Nautilus, occasionally, and since I just got into rebuilding I'd like to experiment on <1 ohm builds. Not trying to be chuckin' sikastits clouds as rip trippers would say, but I do want a device that has enough power to consistently and reliably fire anything I have and may get in the future. I just want a future-proof device that will last me long, because I've spent around $250 already in my 4 months of vaping and that's a lot for a college student budget

About those DNA clones, are you talking about this one? Because what I see in the discussion section is a lot of posts saying it died after a short period of time, and it'd be a bummer to eagerly wait a month for a mod that won't last long. I also saw this one, which seems to be the same, but with less negative discussions, but still, I don't know.

I really don't mind spending a tiny bit more (keeping in mind that for most of these I'll have to get an 18650 battery, which will run me another $10), but only if the device is truly worth it and durable. I know I'm being picky, I apologise

Ugh, I hate that I'm turning down all your links sparkky, but that one only seems to ship to the US and Taiwan. Don't mind me, I'll look for a site if I decide on it! Thanks for your suggestion!

This had been my first option before I opened this thread, and it still seems like the best candidate. Reviews are good, so I think I'm gonna trust that. Thank you.

 

[sparkky1]

Get them on the phone and tell them you'll pat extra for shipping.....

I got my ipv2x for $75 from elev8vape.com. I have had it for almost a month now, and its been great, but with so many options for smaller high watt devices coming out right now you may be best served to wait a month, let the dust settle, and then decide.

The IPV Mini v2 looks like it would be a good contender. Same form factor as the first one (which is super comfortable ZNA-like), but with a nicer chip, and 70w.

Have the problems with the Cloupor 30w Hana clone been fixed on the latest version? I have the "old" version and it has not worked well - randomly turns itself on and off which slowly drains the battery, changes the power setting by itself when I 'm using it. It was a waste of money IMO. These may have been fixed on the latest version, but I have no idea if that is the case. I wouldn't buy one.

See, this was exactly my fear. Good thing I didn't jump on this one.

I've been researching some more and read about a Sigelei Mini 30W box coming out soon enough and it seems to be pretty awesome. Any insight on it from any member? Or has it not been officially released? Can't find much about it, but the specs (if they're to be trusted) look promising.

2014 the best ecig box mods smaug 150w, vv vw box mod smaug 150w, smaug 150w wholesale, samug 150w direct sale-Luxyoun,e cigarette brands,volcano ecig?e cigarette reviews,mac ecig mod,ecigarette,ecigarettes,v2 cigs?atomizer shenzhen supplier

I got this at 53 bucks, 150 W and it works real well.

The Good .. 150 w Works good, no issues dual bats, price, USB charges the bats good so the bats don't have to come out.

The Bad, screw adjusted 510, not spring loaded screw on bat cover The bat cover is not a big deal now that I know the usb charging works well, but still could have used magnets for those that like to take the bats out, honestly now I find it a pain to take the bats out of the seglie but some are going to have a bone to pick with this.

For 53 bucks you can't beat this.

Wow, where did you get one for $53? That price is amazing. I'll take two, hah.

My votes for the sig 100w. I have the 100+ and I'll be picking up the 150w soon. I use mine with a plume veil at .3-.5 ohms and it's a great combo.
