Best single 18650 60+ watt box mod

[memeticengineone]

I want amid that costs under $60, and can push up to 80w with a single 18650 (don't worry I am ordering a lot of them so I don't care if they drain fast.) I also want Temperature Control. I am looking at the ipv D3 TC and the sigelei 75w and the smok Xcube, which do you guys think is better or is there a better box mod in that price range out there for me?

This one iSmoka Eleaf iStick Pico 75W Melo 3 Mini Kit should fit the bill plus I get a tank but is eleaf the brand to go for? Should I splurge on a smok or pioneer box mod and then get a different tank?

No experience with it although its probably the smallest single battery mod currently available. Just be aware that you're only able to use 22mm attys on this mod (so I've heard), anything larger won't fit due to the elevated battery cap.

The Snow Wolf mini is what I have, my only single 18650 mod, fires up to 75 watts, TC, nice board. But its larger and heavier than the pico and there is slight button rattle.

You could go with Joyetech's Evic VTC mini. It's a single 18650, 75watts and TC compatible with Ti, Ni and SS wires with a firm almost-no rattle firing button. I've even heard there's update where you can play flappy bird on screen! (so long firing button LOL)

Actually though, Smok has new single battery mod call the R-Steam Mini which can fire up to 80watts! Haven't found many reviews on it though. And it has a striking resemblance to the evic mini.

I like the look of the smoktech r-steam, do you know if anyone has it under $40?

Don't know about the others but been using the evic vtc mini and it's a nice sturdy and well made device, with a whole lot of features.

 

[memeticengineone]

Would you recommend it with the full kit with the tron tank or just the box mod?

Well, I got mine with the cubis and it's not bad at all. If you are an MTL guy, the the 1 and 1.5 ohm coils are decent. Of you are a direct lung guy, the, 0.5 RBA is very nice. But it has a bit of a learning curve to it. The good part is that so far it's been totally leak free

 

[memeticengineone]

I would like the cubis I think but I would use the 0.5 ohm coils

I've been using my iPV D3 for 4 months, 99% of the time in VW, and I adore it. My only issue with it, is the +, - buttons have a 2 sec delay when holding them down .. and when it gets going, it goes fast and then faster too quickly.

That sounds a little obnoxious but I could live with it. I am sort of considering that or the smok r-steam mini 80w TC

Does anyone know a site that is having discounts? A 20% off code would go a long way towards a starter kit.

Srry no code for you .
Been using a D2 for a few months now. The finish is a bit scratched inside the batt compartment from sliding the cover off and on a couple times a day, but the silicone sleeve protects the outer case just fine.
The res. numbers jump around as you vape(as they should imo.)
But the thing has given me nothing but joy. Had 3 buds get one too, no complaints. YMMV. Cheers.

This may be a stupid question, but why should the resistance numbers jump around? Is that an indication of poorly built coils or is variation normal for prebuilt coils and the resistance jumping around is an indication of a good sensor/chip?

I can get a d2 for $10 less than a d3 but it's only like 40 minutes of my time at work to earn that much so why not get the newer one?

 

[memeticengineone]

I am also wondering if a better box mod than the kanger kbox 40w would be better for the Horizon Arctic considering that I'm usually running the tank on less than the 0.5 ohm coils minimum 40w rating because my batteries can't handle it for more than a few chuffs.

My builds go from 0.34~0.36 when vaping. They start out at 0.34, and as I use them for days/weeks, they go up to 0.36. I guessing from clean-clean wires, and they get darker from ejuice crud, and usage wear.

+ pico

Within your price point and specs I've tried the Evic VTC, the Presa 75 and the Pico, I like them all, they are all working really well. I'm not so sure about single cell 80w devises though, I think 75 is a more believable top. The Presa and the evic have the same board and their issue sometimes is the anemic vape on TC, I know the fix but it's a pain to be unscrewing and screwing your mod from time to time. The Pico is working just great (keep in mind it's new and I've only had it for a week). The battery cap is in the way though but only if you have bigger attys

I have 1 IPVD3-battery life is great it just works every time

3 Sigelei 75 watt TC all 3 have been fantastic in power mode qa bit bigger than the D3 but battery life is great

Joyetech's Evic VTC mini battery's drain fast in mine but it does work fantastic just seems to keep plugging on


All are single cell and do the job they are supposed to


I prefer the sigelei 75 because for me it has just the right amount of weight for its size
