Can you help me choose an "In Between" Device

[troutspinner]

I know very little about hardware so I am hoping you guys could suggest a device for me. Pictured below is the hardware I have. The one on the left I've had for years and does not produce enough vapor to satisfy me. The one on the right is what made me stop smoking literally from the first toke. The one on the right however is not the friendliest to carry. With warmer weather coming, I'd like something that is a little nicer to carry with shorts on and not worry about it falling out of my pocket and breaking.

The Aspire from what I understand produces a great amount of vapor compared to other equipment so matching the output is not the main concern, just something that is nicer to carry but with output hopefully much better than the device on the left.

Edit: Budget - $80 or less.

Hmmmm, good question. I have a bunch of mini eGos for working out in the yard, but no, they're not very satisfying. I'm eyeballing an istick (probably the 50W) because the battery life looks to be outstanding. I've upgraded my MVP2.0s for iPV Minis, but they're still a bit bulky for just popping in a pocket. Not sure what I'm going to do for summertime this year....

The aspire is forsure a good choice, but there are some pretty good box mods out there from 40 to 80$ that will last you quite a bit longer between charges than that Aspire. Most of the boxes you can vape while you charge. With the sub tanks and nickle wire starting to take off its looking like 1.0 homes will soon be considered high voltage vaping

When I am in the yard, my box mod sits on the patio with my jug of cool water. I take breaks. Mini mods may be larger, but they probably give a better vape.

I sit and talk to Dog.

That new Kangertech K-Box looks like it may fit what you are looking for. Price point is in your budget for sure at sub-$25 and then you can put whatever tank on it you want as it will push 40W.

My choice -- istick Mini. It's about the same height as the one on your left, but twice as wide AND much better performance. It's also $18 at Discount Vapors. If you want bigger and longer battery life I say the iStick 30 watt or Heatvape Defender that are in the $35-$40 range.

Here's a thread that chats about many of the new diminutive regulated mods with a link to a spreadsheet that keeps growing with much of the details listed -- like size! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...itty-bitty-mods-under-100-a.html#post14989275

The MVP 2 and the original iStick can be found quite cheaply if you search around on the internet. I've found each for $20.00, new.

100 Genuine Cloupor Mini 30W VW Box Mod in Stock | eBay these are all over Ebay 40 to 50 $ they use a 18650 battery and they are probably shorter than the Aspire battery you threw up . Its a really tiny box mod. But 30 watts is nothing to sneeze at and with a .45 limit you can run just about anything. Im sure you can get a cool wrap to make it more to your personality if blk and silver dont float your boat.
but there are plenty others out there at a similar price and performance.

joyetech eGrip or Joyetech 1100 Ego ONE might be a good choice.

The eGrip is pocketable, (and unlike the istick/eleaf, there is no clearomizer or delivery device "sticking out on top to break off." Which is what happens when I put stuff in my pockets.

It's about the height of a bic lighter, but built hefty. 8-20 watts, dual coils

Thank you for the replies guys. Good stuff indeed. I really like the looks of that eGrip but the reviews are not that good. I guess if I go with the other suggestions I will most likely have to get a new tank. That doesn't bother me though, I've read that other tanks provide better flavor.

Any of the MVP'S.

Im really liking the SMOK VCT you can get resistance from .5 up to 1.2 coils and it has a build your own if you like. 22$ and shipping I fill it all the way up bang it around and it never floods and great flavor and vapor but Ive only used the dual coil .5 ohm heads so I cant say anything for the rest.

Maybe a side by side mech like a Kato clone?

I am so happy that your successfully got off cigarettes with vaping. Isn't it wonderful?

I just know you will find something on this thread that happens to have under $100 mods. If you see one you like, check out the YouTube videos and reviews.

Little itty bitty mods under $100.

Good luck to you and I hope you find something that will look good with your shorts.

I've actually read a lot of good reviews, mainly 4 out of 5 stars from many different sites. Twisted vapor, a Youtube reviewer gives it a rave review, and from other things I've bought he's reviewed, he's been spot on. I haven't bought an Egrip yet, but I've been eyeing it and contemplating it for a while now, as I'm going to be needing/wanting a "stealth set up" in place of my 100 watt box mod. Joyetech, the manufact. of the Egrip also makes something called the Ego One, which is basically an upgraded version of what you have on the left, MUCH upgraded, but not necessarily bigger. They have two versions, a smaller one, which contains an 1100 mah battery and an 1.8ml capacity tank, it's VERY portable, looks sharp and sturdy as well, and costs $60 without any coupons, with everything you need to vape out of the box, including two coils, one 0.5 ohm resistance and one 1.0 ohm resistance. For an extra $5 you can get the XL version, which is 2200mah/2.5ml, but also by just looking at the photo and comparing the two, it looks 3-4 inches taller, while both have the same with circumference, which would be more comparable to your Atlantis vs. your old ego batt on the left.

I still haven't decided on what to get yet, as I'm waiting on my tax refund, and who knows WHAT will pop up between now in then, despite it only being another week or so lol. GL finding something that works for you, and let us know what you decide on and how it works out!

just another thought.....unless you really just want to pocket it, you might consider getting or making a lanyard to wear it around your neck when you're out an about, since you really like it.
