My birthday is fast approaching, and I have dropped hints to my better half that I would like to get a mod. I currently am happy with 3.7v regulated ego-types and 1.7 Smoktech EMSCC’s and tanked 1.7 Smoks/2.0 Boges. This would mean that I don’t necessarily need a VV/VW device. I just want something more convenient battery-wise and not have to swap devices on and off chargers.
I would also like something easily used with one hand while driving and doing other tasks. Pocket-ability is not a deal-breaker, as I can always carry an ego setup around work and when out doing yardwork and such.
I prefer simple, well-made things with clean lines. I think I prefer the traditional side button, but I have never used a bottom or top button.
If I got an 18xxx variety (sorry, the numbers are confusing and I don’t yet get the significance of the numbering system of the batteries), then I would probably want one that can convert to mini form. A 14xxx variety would be nice as well, and I don’t really need high-mah batteries as I spend 95% of my time at home, in the car, or in my office at work, always close to a charger and some fresh batteries.
I’d also like to stay under $100 for the device, since I don’t want my wife breaking the bank. I can cover the batteries and chargers on my own.
Ones that have caught my eye aesthetically are The BB and The SB. If The SB was just able to shrink to the shorter size, then that would’ve probably made my decision easy.
I’m also not opposed to a hybrid. I’ve never rebuilt a wick/coil, but I think I could learn rather easily and I live near a B&M that has a very helpful staff who would help me out. I just haven’t seen any hybrids with a side button or that are less than $200.
Does anyone have any ideas for me? Did I just describe about everyone who dips their toe in the mod waters for the first time?
Thanks all.
