Heavy mods suck

Imo having weight makes the product feel premium for example mine is mainly made of metal (no idea which kind)
It has some heft to it but that's what i like about it.

Sort of agree with this. I have a habit of putting my mod in my shirt top pocket which then immediately pulls down one side of the shirt. But. I also like a mod to have some heft so it feels substantial...
Maybe makers could make a mod as light as possible but include some little lead weights you can fit yourself ?..

I like a heavy mod because I'm clumsy and forgetful, and it's a lot easier to ignore a heavy mod in my hand and drop it. My steampunk could certainly have a dual use in case of an emergency/intruder! Of course, that's why we keep the pellet gun by the front door. In the dark, it looks enough like a real rifle to throw someone off their game, though really, we'd be unlikely to injure anyone much...
I like light backup mods since my purse can't handle two steampunks, to each his own I guess, the good news is there are plenty of "heavy" mods for those who enjoy them, and lighter mods for those who don't. I've sampled both and definitely, the heft of a metal, two battery mod is excellent. I don't think the steampunk has much added weight, actually, other than the decorative metal that encloses the mod.... It's just pretty, and metal, and awesome and they seem to have packed a lot into their relatively small design... But, I don't HATE ANY mods, mods are excellent, and so much better than smoking! I'd even take a KT mod over a pack of smokes.... now.
Friends don't let friends hate mods!

My doctor wants me to carry light weights while walking to help strengthen my bones. A heavy mod in each hand should work well
I prefer a solid feel to my mods. I dropped my lighter weight mods all the time. Since switching to dual batt mods, haven't dropped a single one.
For internal ~2000mah mods or mods that take a single 18650 battery, I agree. For anything that takes two or more 18650's I'd like a little extra heft in the construction for safety and longevity. Little mods bounce. Bigger ones not so much.
I like them just heavy enough to not be knocked over easily. I do like the thought of thumping someone square in the forehead with one too
I think I`ll fire up the Banshee. Uber light for a 2 bat reg mod.

My rant is only aimdd at the makers who add necessary weight. I took my SX Mini apart to repaint the finish and found a useless hunk of metal had been placed inside. Its now much lighter. Any mod labled mini should weigh mini.
I have two mods that require two batteries and even with the batteries they weighed less than the SX.
Did you check out the specs before you bought it? I think even the Steampunk is on Kat's "itty bitty mod" list, IIRC. Mini is about size, I think, not weight, otherwise your mod would be named the SX Lite? Though I do understand some frustration about heaviness that isn't needed, I'm sure some manufacturers know that some people like heavy mods and others like lighter ones. I don't judge build quality by weight, personally, I have an aspire mod that weighs next to nothing and it's a great vape. Though, I'm personally glad you were able to turn your mod into something more to your taste...

Eat your Wheaties & you won't notice the weight.
It isn't like any of them are what anyone would define as heavy.

I have some of the lightest MOD's made and some of the beasts they make, but all serve me well and I use the right MOD at the right time just like my tools.
The Right Tool for the Right Job............ Just substitute APV or MOD!

Sx mini M is pretty much indestructable, other than water I doubt you could break one. I've dropped mine from a scissor lift about ten feet in the air broke the glass in my kf5 but the mod still worked. I doubt any other mod I own would've survived.
probably not useless at all, why would a manufacturer add additional material cost, labor cost, shipping weight to an item if it was totally useless?
