Every mod I own fits happily in my shirt pocket:
However, the ones that are made of brass, stainless steel, and copper are a tad heavy to carry there, so they stay at home.

Well, if pods are the "new wave", I'll gladly stay a dinosaur.
If you've got to carry more than one to get through a day, carrying a box mod is about the same thing. My homebrew low tank DNA40 lasts all day and is very pocket friendly other than being a lot heavier than a pack of smokes.

Every device I own still fits in my shirt pocket. My biggest ones are my Triades and GBOXs and they still fit. But you look funny with your shirt pocket pulled down to your abs. 
My lightest setup is my VV Pulse BF 80 (94 grams without battery). I bought it planning on swapping out the board and replacing it with a DNA60 or 75. That might be okay carrying around in my shirt pocket.
Unfortunately I went to two viewings this year alone. Yeah smokers went out to smoke and I too went outside to vape. I know at least one of the smokers have vaped before, but she never sticks with it and always goes back to smoking. And the rest of the smokers had zero interest in vaping at all. And pulling out a huge mod would probably even discourage the smokers more so against vaping.
So I picked up some pod setups to get me by, so it wouldn't be too intimidating to them. It seemed to work and nobody seemed to notice. Except the non-smokers who hung out there to chat, hung around me since my vape smelled better than cigarettes. Vapor was about the same as a cigarette, flavor was somewhat muted over my usual setups, but still passable. Lung hits could be done with a 3 second pull (lung pulls with 18mg juice will nic you up real fast ). So I still got my nicotine and it kept my cravings at bay.

I picked up an Aspire Breeze 2 for the wife a couple of days ago, coils are replaceable in the pod. Works very well, would be really nice with an Evolv board.
About 50% more than that.
Different pods with different coils are available for harder or softer hits. IMHO it makes a great stealth Mod that is still satisfying, but not quite strong enough for an all day Mod if stealth isnt a requirement. But this is coming from a guy vaping fused claptons in a Merlin, me thinks tootle puffers would be MORE than satisfied with this as an all day Mod.
It is particularly satisfying if you up the nic and/or use salts like the Juul does.
My wife finally got what she's been after for a few weeks as it seems to be finished now.
So now she has the Breeze 2 and "that" one, much better than the Vladdin RE and Suorin Air.
She gave me back her DNA75 and 40 a couple of weeks ago....go figure.

It would be a hard adjustment for me to go (more then an afternoon) to a much higher nic and vape less. Since I can vape guilt free, free of guilt I had when I was smoking, I now really, really enjoy vaping. I've become a chain vaper and love them big clouds! My wife will walk in my office and go, Oh good Lord as she waves at the fog

Around my area the Justfog Minifit with refillable pods gets a lot of love. You can also blow larger clouds than say a JUUL. I have 2 BilletBoxes, one from SXK. Apart from it's rectangular box shape, 22mm wide and barely longer than an 18650, all that's visible is a standard 510 drip tip.
The older version had no USB, a DNA60, and the screen backwards. The latest SXK has a USB. It's my high nic device from the Mall parking lot or restaurant to inside when I'm with the fam.

Can you drain a full pod on one charge?
The BB is My stealth mod also
IMO "Stealth" is relevant to the battery capacity!Any mod with less than an 18650, isn't on my Radar. Even with a .07 simple round wire coil, the BB with an 18650, don't have the greatest battery life, at least I can carry a spare.
Fixed battery small capacity mods, just aren't going to do it for me
All thou I cant blame Evolv for trying to Expand it's market share!
With the recent popularity of "Pod Mods" It looks like a good market to be in
Nickel? Almost has to be, 'cause I can't really imagine what other material would give you such a low resistance.
That's been one of my qualms with nickel as a coil material. Due to its super-low resistance, it requires very little voltage, but extreme amounts of current, and that makes for large I^2R losses between the board and the coil. It wouldn't surprise me if the DC/DC converter on the board isn't operating very efficiently at that point either.

For the last couple weeks I've been seeing interference on TV channels, a scrambling of the signal like we see during a big sun spot eruption, anyone else been seeing this? It's been happening a lot today.
No the TV is fine, but the internet keeps dropping out here on a random basis. It even dropped while I was chatting with Comtrash about getting it fixed. Low signal level at the modem, which I suspect is a splice problem, water from rain, between the pole and the house.
How dare you sir! I run nickel about 1/3 of the time. Heck I am vaping on a 8 wrap 26/32 nickel Clapton right now which happens to be exactly 0.070Ω

I've never figured out the Evolv algorithm for E vs. I rossum. I've often wondered why Evolv chooses to use so much current to reach wattages where bucking voltage isn't even required, like on a dna200 with a 3s Lipo or triple 18650. Seems to me they choose to buck the voltage and use current to reach wattage whenever possible. Seems like keeping the voltage as high as possible (without boosting) for any given wattage would be the most efficient but then maybe it has something to do with the DC converters.
