I did a brief search and couldn't find a good answer, looking for some ideas to look into. Currently have mine on a sigelei 75w which would be fine if it didn't automatically turn it down to 50w as soon as the battery hits 80%. I'm hoping to find a mod that's dual battery with a charging slot on the device, and that doesn't do stupid stuff like auto adjust my wattage. So far the istick 100w looks to be the best candidate. Opinions?

It's 200w and uses three 18650's but very compact and just a hair taller than my IPVD2, talking about the Reuleaux RX200..It has the TC options and all the features you mentioned, including superb batt life and even supports USB in-mod charging.....at only $49 I now own two of these mods...they're great!! Good luck on whatever mod you wind up getting..

I have the TFV4 which uses the same coil heads as the TFV4 Mini, at 80W the triple coil comes to life and at 100-120W it really shines. Since there are so many coil options (most of them peak Wattage is 120-140W) you may want something that can reach 150W. I personally like the X Cube 2 but it does not have USB charging, which I don't recommend for mods that use replaceable batteries. I know for the price of $35 the iStick 100W is a good choice, but I would recommend getting a bit stronger of a device and an external charger .

My five cents: It seems to be generally recommended that in any dual battery mod that you use an external charger over the onboard charger. An external charger will charge each battery properly, unlike some/a lot of onboard chargers where they dont properly balance the charge across batteries. I dont even use the onboard charger with my single battery mods anymore. You also want high drain batteries going into that wattage level.

And despite the high wattage rating (some up to 140w) on many coils available on the TFV4/4 Mini, some of the posts ive seen say 60w-70w is the butter zone on the higher wattage coils, unless you like burnt juice/dry hits of course, but some people like to push watts to chase the cloud rather than just flavour and the primary reason of staying off the stinkies.....personally i dont get it....its too much like get out the ruler time

Personally ive never vaped over 55w on vw even (on Crown coils that couldnt even handle that for more than 2 or 3 days), and my current temp control setup is lucky to hit 30/35w, but the vape is actually better, so i cant help on the mod front.

p.s. be aware that youre going to be refilling the TFV4 quite often with high wattage

I agree with you only somewhat. That being said I vape between 75-100w on a triple batt 200w mod with the TFV4 and about 65w with the Crown... I have had no dry or burnt hits at all..true, the RX200 has a charge port, but I charge my batts in a separate 4 bay charger..and I must say three batts go for a long time on a single charge, just my 2 cents, lololol[emoji12]

Lol, thats the only reason id buy a 75w+ mod, for the extra battery life at 30/35W :)

You kids and your 65w+ vapes :p

The same people who made R33fer Madness are probably already preparing Subohmer Madness psa's - extreme subohming is subverting todays youth, err wait, most vapers are 30+:)

How much would a charger like that cost? And where can I get it?

Thanks for the advice with the charger, can't find one around me but I'm on the hunt. Also yeah I agree, this thing drinks juice like a fish. People have drowned in less than what I consume in a week with this.

My local store charges an arm for one of these, is there a recommended website you got yours from? I have a hard time trusting online purchases.

Like I posted earlier I got mine from my local shop for 22 bucks. You can get it cheaper online but I can't recommend a site for it. I would do a Google search and decide on a vendor...

That was a quote from a different comment, I'm talking about your 200w mod for $49. I didn't realize they were both your comments or I would've asked about both in one reply.

After having this mod for a few days now I'm getting good clouds and decent flavor vaping the TFV4 with the quad coil at 75-80w seen here...I'm really liking the RX200! [emoji12]

yeah,as suggested....if you plan on vaping coils that got to get 80,get 150w+ of power so not to tax your board too much and dual/triple batts setup as well

My cube with 2x25Rs don't last me all day with TFV4 at 80watts

P.S. (edit) xcube 2 is the only mod so far that doesn't even remotely get warm no matter if I chain vape or not,very good stuff (besides the megathron,this is a tank)
