Right now I have the subox mini kit, and it kicks ... I love it. I previously bought a herakles before this. The herakles "works" but 50 watts is like the lowest it can vape and its totally bad this low (crackle and pops onto my tongue lIke bacon to a fat mans belly). Is there any cheap devices (the cheaper the better) that could push more wattage into this thing?

In some areas of vaping cheap is Fine, but as soon as you go up in power, I don't think it is advisable to push your luck with an el cheapo device.

There are enough reports of failures and problems with the well known, so called, quality brands to make me leary of pushing a bargain chip too hard.


Something to think about, nothing would be worse then explaining to the fireman putting out your house fire you just wanted to save a few bucks.

I understand what you're saying, but I've been screwed over numerous times in the past from "the bees knees" trending quality devices that everyone loved. I bought the evic vt, vented 7 days later while using the nickel coil on nickel mode for no freading reason. The eleaf 50w just inexplicably died and never turned back on mid hit. My friend bought the smoke m80 xpro plus, it's charge drained and refused to charge ever again on day 11. I have as little faith in "reliable" products as I do on crappy knock offs from china.

I purchased the 75w Sigelei TC mod for $52.00
Even though it's only 25w higher than the kanger mod. You even feel that you get more power.
Find a mod you like,
Visit; Vapecrawler
Type in the name of the mod, it will spit out the best deals all over registed vape sites.

Good luck

The sig 150 seems to have a decent track record on here too
mm i do love the sig 150, i used to have one that i got for 20 dollars and a quesarito from taco bell from a friend. (no idea man) but the quality on it was phenomenal, but i got rid of it cause i got fed up for some reason and switched to tube mods for a while, but i miss it so much. I havent been able to find a vendor selling one for cheaper than $80, and on top of that i dont have any ways to trade with others on the internet (as far as i personally know)

Exactly my point, those are considered ( not by me) to be higher quality companies, if they have that many problems I can only imagine the fun you'll have with a no name device.

The reasons you stated are why I don't even buy the cheap Chinese mods lol.

Its amusing how those of us who buy what's considered really well made gear are belittled for spending so much on a mod, yet I have mods now years old that work like day one when I take them off the shelf and drop a battery in them.

Lol to the taco bell part.

Just remembered, this holiday weekend there will be great deals... Just check the threads here but you could prob find a beefy box for way less

I think that expectations can be a bit off to say the least when it comes to prices. I love my provaris and hex ohms, if that makes me a fan boy too bad lol. Worth every penny to me.

I have apple stuff too so i had years of practice being mocked pre iphone and more recently pre vaping lol

Don't think you'll get anything cheaper then a Istick 100w. @35$
Nitecore i2 charger = 11$
2 samsung 25r's = 12$
