Box Mod for my Father, help me!

[Intervap]

My dad really likes my Reo, but doesn't like the mechanical aspect of it. I wanted to get me a MVP 2 because it has an ohm meter and VW, some things I know he would like. However, the button is too hard of a press for his arthritis.
Basically, I want to get him a comfortable box mod with VW (at least VV) and an ohm meter.
Now that I think about it, I may just get him an MVP because of the long lasting internal battery.
But still, give me your recommendations!

Take a look at the Shan B dual 18650 VV splash lots of battery life and vapes very nicely. It has a big easy to press tactical button and a on and off rocker switch. for pocket carrying.

There is the VV Grande if you still wanted a feeder mod. I wish I knew of some dna 20 feeders, but the only one I've seen was a 1-off custom one.

I think Red Sky Mods has a dna20 bottom feeder.

I can really see him getting aggravated with a bottom feeder. I know he wants to keep it simple with his Clearos. Also, a DNA20 would be more power than would know what to do with! haha.
I really do think an MVP is the way to go with him, just wondering if there were similar devices to it that I could check out.

VTR? much more durable I think, but I don't know if the button is hard to press or not, I don't have one.

Got my husband vv gripper - fits in his t-shirt pocket, simple to operate...he is a low tech guy, prefers this over his provari - crazy but true.

Probably will want to look through the modders forum. There are actually quite a few box mods available, but most are custom builds.

The VTR was an option but the pure weight of it could be a downside to him. I showed it to him when they first announced it and all he said was "fingerprints". LOL. I want to give it a try so if I don't like it I can just give it to him, he still needs back ups for his back ups.
I really think he will like the Gripper though. I'll shoot him an email and ask him some nonspecific questions
Thank you!!

I've had the VTR for over a week now, and the weight feels comfortable to me... the fingerprints, however, are a problem. I'm getting a wrap for it. It's a great mod if you like the Protank or Davide.

If you decide on a VTR and don't want to wrap it you can get the Camo Green Innokin iTaste VTR which shouldn't show fingerprints quite as badly as the all chrome version. I know nothing about the vendor but the camo version should be more widely available in pretty short order.

I made a template if you want to do a DIY skin rather than get the camo version or buy a skin. Search on eBay for "3d vinyl sample" or "snakeskin vinyl sample" for cheap vinyl.

I just got the MVP2 and the button isn't as big a deal as some have made out to be
currently available very cheaply see this thread

barely more than the price of a B&M ego twist

Since it's your father - consider a Red Sky Mods cutlass DNA20. It's wood, so it's light - it has the VW DNA20 chip in it, is a bottom feeder and you/he can choose the wood and switches and all the rest.

Some are custom made in batches and some are put up for sale on the website. They are some glorious looking devices, not very well known and reasonably priced. An old friend of mine had a few of them and they blew me away.

You might want to consider building a puck style mod. I made one using gripper internals with a button from radio shack, its a red one that instead of clicking just has a spring inside that is pretty easy to push down all the way. It hasn't failed yet (though i only use it intermittently).

You can get the chip from madvapes if they actually have it in stock.

That or buy a gripper vv, which is awesome but the battery door tends to break and the button stops responding after a bit, then when it breaks transplant the guts into a different enclosure, the one i made for my wife is a snuss tin with epoxy putty "feet" so my wife can stand it upright.
