I have a kanger evod. I love to vape. Im looking to go to the next level. Bulky doesnt bother me. 100 dollars and below is my range. Need advice. Im interested in the magneto2. Any better choices. Im not to interested in rebuilding coils and such as that. But want to move up from the kanger. Please help.

Pros and cons of magneto2. Better options then magneto2. (Not rebuilding at all) i guess im asking whats the best "stock" mod

Moving up from a kanger evod. I want a variable wattage mod. Not rebuilding any coils. My thoughts are: itaste134. Itaste mvp. Cool fire 2. Tesela. Vamo v6. Or other options if you have them. But those i like. Money or bulkyness not a problem. Just quality.

The nautilus tank seems to be the most popular on here for coils you don't build. As far as devices go I think I'd agree on waiting for the new MVP to come out. Mechanicals tend to appeal more to ppl who build coils. Also keep in mind most factory made coils can't keep up with higher powered devices. In fact my mvp2 could burn a wick and it has a rather low max power. I will say there have been a couple sub ohm atomizers come out that might could keep up ok. My goal here to help you avoid being disappointed if you buy a new mod and crank up the power.

Depends. Do you like how the evod performs? The protank 2 uses the same coil but is glass and holds more juice. The glass enhances the flavor tremendously and you can throw an airflow control valve on it for more performance. Wanting more vapor and warmer vapor? I'd go with an EMOW mega. I've got two, and they're damn near perfect. They come with the V3 airflow control which is top notch imo.

I still have some evods hanging around for emergencies though still lol

The magneto 2 is a mechanical mod. If you are looking to upgrade you may want to check out a regulated device with more power than you currently have. I tried a friends IPV 2, and was really impressed with it. I am planning to save up for one soon. It hits as hard as my mechanical mod with much less worries. It is adjustable to 60w I believe, with the ability to fire down to .2 ohms. My mechanical with a .3 ohm build is about 45. Mechanicals have a maximum output at 4.2 volts for a brief time on a fresh battery. As the battery's charge gets lower, performance drops. Standard clearomizers do not perform well on them. They will work, but not as well as on a device that has vv/vw capability. The cost of a mechanical, batteries, and charger will run you close to the price of an IPV2 @ $109. If you really like the mech mods I would suggest a 1:1 Cartel clone. I have a copper one (pretty beat up, copper is soft and I am clumsy.) but solid as a rock, and hits like a champ.

I don't use or recommend Aspire products. Too many unanswered questions wrt to safety of the materials used in them:

If you really want to get a mech and use it with stock tanks and coils you might want to look into a kick or kick 2. this regulates the voltage so that you can use it with the different tank systems. I know the magneto will not fit a kickdevice and an 18650 you would have to run it with a smaller battery. You could look into 18650 mods that can for sure handle a kick 2. Or you could run the magneto 2 with an aspire atlantis.

But my opinion is that a mech isn't really a good choice if you don't want to rebuild. I would look at one of the dna30 clones.

If you don't want to build coils and use stock coils from Kanger or Aspire, most people went from ego batteries to tube mods. There are soooo many to choose from that would get you up to 15 watts.....more than most stock coils can handle....but thats ok....it gives you wiggle room for future use.
Remember that part of your budget will be batteries and a good battery charger.
If you need more power down the road.....you will all ready have those items and your mod purchase can be your backup.
Look at Vamo's and Segelei z-maz's.... They both give you multi battery options . Then there are Smok z- max's and Ace also. Theres more....but its a start! Good luck and Enjoy!

The mvp is a good reliable device and will pair well with any of the popular tanks that use prebuilt coils other than the new sub-ohm ones. It uses a built in battery which means that you don't have to buy batteries and a charger but it also means you can't replace the battery. It also doesn't have enough power to get ideal performance with some types of rebuildables, some like the kayfun will perform just fine on it though.

The vamo is both a step up and a step down, they're not as durable and don't have as good of power regulation(some care about that, others don't) but they can fire higher watts.

If you want simple, get the mvp and a popular tank.

The Mvp is and has been an amazing device that has stood the test of time for those who have them.....I have one myself.... But it maxes out at 11 watts.

Innokin will be launching a new version within days/weeks that fire lower ohm coils and also have better battery life ( you would then not have to buy batt/charg) but I believe the new version is a flush 510 connection.....but an adapter would allow you to still use your evod/ego threaded tanks.

I also have an Eleaf Isticks, but didn't suggest it because it has some issues and hasn't been around long enough to know how they will last....

The others I suggested have stood the test of time.....most vapers have at least one of them...LOL if not all of them.....shiniyitis gets us all! Good luck, happy shopping!

If you like the look of the MVP have a look at the iStick, it is smaller than an MVP but has a lot of power. IT will go up to 20 watts depending on the coil build on the device and it is over powered due to how they calculate the volts/watts. It has a 2200mah battery which is good for at least a day quite heavy vaping.

I love mine with the Kanger EMOW Mega tank on. It is small, compact, powerfull and lasts me all day. My profile pic has it on.
