How about an iStick? Pretty good for such a small form factor and cheap price. Put your Nautilus Mini on top and you're good to go! :)
Only problem with that is, if the OP ever wants an Atlantis or Kangers new sub-ohm tank, the iStick won't fire it. I think it's better to go with the iPV Mini to cover all the bases or else he might be right back here looking for a more capable mod.

Yep - an iStick won't help a potential cloud chaser. Has anyone worked out why people want to do that, btw? :)

I have (had?) the IPV Mini. It's a "sort of" mini. Heavy and well built, works great with the Atlantis. Reason for my first sentence is I had to RMA it due to the 510 seating. Hope to have the replacement next week. I'd like to try the Cloupor mini and will wait and see what the reviewers say. Sigelei is also releasing a 30W mini mod. Then there's the much anticipated MVP 3.0.

Subtank comes with a 1.2ohm head in the box, plus it has a deck for an RTA that you can put your own coils in. So it can be used on an iStick.

There's a thread around here somewhere with a picture of a Sub tank on an iStick - it looks very weird as the tank is bigger than the battery.

I know it's not the ideal device for it, but it can be used.

I don't trust the Cloupor and I don't like the look of the IPV, it reminds me too much of a 1980's car. (I think it's the buttons... :unsure:)

My choice would be the Mini Sigelei 50W v2. I like the size and form factor, it does everything the IPV mini does and only costs £15 more. (Martyn Parker has a review of it on YT.)

Though, don't ask me why I'm looking as I haven't started rebuilding yet, have no interest in using either the Atlantis or Subtank and am perfectly happy with my iStick! :facepalm::lol:

Which would you choose if you could have either one, the clouper mini, or the ipv mini..if you have other opinions on smaller mod boxs, im intetested too.
I just ordered the Cloupor 30w mini (for $30 why not? If it turns out bad I'll put a yihi board in it and not look back), if you can wait I will let you know how it is once I get it.

I had the first Sigelei 50w, and it was a pile of junk. I swore I'd never buy a Sigelei again, but I just got a 100w plus in the mail a few days ago and am loving it. I didn't even know they were making a V2 of the 50w. I have 2 of the cloupor v3 hana clones and they have been flawless for months. I know the T5 had it's share of problems, and the T8 not performing like it should. The mini looks nice, and hopefully performs well. If not, like others have said, you can get it for around $30 to $40. Not bad IMHO.

Also, the buttons on the 50w are so bad, I wish they would have changed them for the v2.

Right behind you...
Cloupor mini has been rocking for me for two weeks now, no problems, and glad I bought it. Rocking a Subtank, an Atlantis, and as of yesterday a Billow . And I paid $55 for it! At $30 it's a no-brainer. The Cloupor DNA30 clone chip tests out pretty good in terms of accuracy, power, etc.

And there's already been successful DNA40 transplants into the Cloupor.

Yeah, there was some vibes about poor CS from GB- but a large part of what I saw was peeps worrying about delivery. It seems they thought they should get their order in the same time frame as if they had ordered it stateside. One was griping they didn't get it in time for Christmas- when Christmas was still about 2 weeks away! So with negative "reviews" like that- along w/suspicious positive reviews that looked like they were shills, I decided the entire review pool was tainted and decided to ignore all the reviews and take a shot to see what happened.
