Allot of the Mods that I currently own are somewhere around 3-5 years old and I'm starting to wonder how long some of it is really going to last. I'm looking for something in the 75 - 150 watt range preferably with dual 18650 batteries. A major problem that I have with most of the mods I've seen lately is that they have these ridiculous sports car/alien space craft designs. I'm looking for something relatively simple, just a basic box mod. Both the istick Pico 25 and the Snowwolf 200w have interested me though I feel like the Pico would not last very long and I am concerned about the touch screen and glass panels on the snowwolf. I realize these are both totally different devices as far as power output is concerned but I am more concerned with battery life and durability than power output. I normally vape at 40w - 60w and would like to have something that doesn't look crazy as hell and will last me most or all day without changing batteries. Any suggestions are appreciated.

The original Pico has held up well for many users since its release. The Pico 25 hasn't been around as long to prove itself, but if the predecessor is any indication, it should be a decent little unit. If ruggedness is a concern, the Aegis Legend by Geekvape is supposed to be military-spec shock-, water- and dust-resistant, and it's dual-cell, 200w max while the Pico 25 is single-cell, and I think tops out at 80 or 85? The Aegis Legend is a brand-new device, though, so we don't really know anything about longevity, there, but it too had a predecessor, (100w, 26650 cell) that stood up to some serious torture testing by some reviewers.

I've seen the Aegis Legend once or twice and like it quite a bit, I'm not convinced I need anything quite that tough but at the price it seems like a pretty good deal for something that durable.
I was just going to suggest the Aegis Legend.

I was going to suggest the legend as well. There's the Eleaf Invoke, I'm rather fond of it. It's a lower price point but still rather durable (although I have dropped mine a few times) not as durable as the Legend. If you are looking for something on the small side for out and about, I think it's one of the smallest and lightest out there, not a ton of bells and whistles, and nice build quality.

I have the Smoant Cylon which is a good looking device and performs well in power and tc modes. It can handle almost any topper you put on it without overhang. It costs under $50 and you’d be hard pressed to find a better valued mod anywhere. I haven’t heard any owners that have a major complaint with it and after several months and several drops, mine looks and performs as good as it did day 1. Best of luck to you and I hope whatever mod you choose you are happy with.

I think im fairly set on the Aegis legend as a replacement for the Sigelei I currently have, especially after seeing some of the stress testing done on them. I did however order an istick pico simply because they are so cheap, seems like it will work out well for a stealth vape setup.

I know you specified 70-100W dual battery, but you also mentioned you usually vape at 40-60W.

I suggest you check out the JAC Vapour DNA75, specially if you use TC. Sleekest small mod around IMO. Less autonomy but (for me) that's a non-issue, I just carry a couple of charged batteries in a case.

Hexohm v3 has all the power you require and will last a lifetime due to graving vapors lifetime warrenty.
As long as they are in business your in business.

I just looked this up, this is a very good devise. It has proprietary chip, one of those manual Potentiometer dial thingy's to adjust voltage, lifetime warranty, made in the USA.

Edit: Okay strike that, I guess this is a sub Ohm only devise, the max voltage is too low. It looks like a very good company though, I will keep an eye on them though.
