Help choosing a VV MOD and Battery under $100

[Odeezy2ez]

Hello friends in the community! I need your help with a very important decision.

So I started vaping about 2 months ago with an ego-T starter kit. Haven't touched a cigarette since. I've been using a coworkers old I'm VV Vamo mod with a dented battery with an kangertech areotank that falls apart for the past month . Works, but I'm ready to invest in something a little better.

Theres way to many options but I need help choosing a MOD kit, or Mod tank and battery combo. many at the job have a Kangerteck subox mini ( 70 plus tax and battery sry local store, $55 online), but I'm looking for the best bagng for the buck (under 100) with good battery life.

Here are my guidelines
Required:
High amp replaceable 18650 battery
Usb charging port on MOD
Good airflow on tank
Variable voltage/wattage
Under $100


Hoping for but not required:
50W
Dual battery

Everything else is in the air because I'm not knowledgeable enough to be picky.

Thanks in advance

Cloupor mini,
purple efest or Sony vtc4
Smok tech tfv4

Eleaf iStick 100w fits your requirements. ~$40 for the mod batteries and topper not included. illumn.com has Samsung 25R for around $6 each and Sony VTC 4s around $9 each. I'll let others advise on a topper. It's doable under $100 but it's gonna be close.

Awesome thanks! I didn't realize I'd get so many responses to fast. I was going to stop by my local shop and pick up the sub box but I think I'll do some more research before I buy.

And to clarify of I wasn't, "usb charging port on MOD" meaning I don't have to pull the batteries out.

Before I do some research, I have a quick question. Do any of the suggested MODs have dual battery? If I can get that I might prefer it.

You cant beat the subox mini kit... 53$ from china.

Do you honestly think that the quality and performance is far superior to the ones suggested and worth the price?

Now that I'm looking at the specs some of these look suitable, and have a cheaper tag. I am willing to pay more for quality and performance but saving some cash is nice too.

On second thought 53 from china as long as it is legit seems very comparable.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you've got the bit in your teeth, go for it.

The Subox mini kit includes the Subtank mini. So all you would need is batteries and juice. It is a single battery mod. 50 watts

The iStick 100w is just the mod. It is a dual battery mod. !00 watts

Edit; The Subox has a fixed center pin in the 510 connector. The iStick 100w has a spring loaded center pin.

I have two subox mini kits... one still in the box... I have dropped it on the steel deck of an oil rig and it still works like a champ. I am very impressed by the subox kit for the price... I do have the istick 100 watt... also a great mod.

Why do you want the charging port on the mod? A real charger is a far better option. From what I understand, it shortens the life of the mod using its chip to charge.

I wasn't aware of that. I was just hoping to plug and vape in the car if i forgot to take the batteries out to charge. It's that or have extras on charge.

You really shouldn't use a car charger on any of these. Any time something clicks on or off in the car, there is a surge in the power before the regulater can handle it. That will drastically shorten battery life. Keeping extra batteries is best. I have 3 pairs for my Snow Wolf and plan on getting more. I like to let the batteries rest for an hour or so before charging and the same after charging before using. Any batteries can be dangerous, and high output 18650's aren't nice when they go so I do my best to limit the risks. Using the mod while charging creates surges as well, not something I would want to risk. An extra $15-20 for a charger and some extra batteries could double or more the life of the batteries, saving you money in the long run as well as keeping you safer.

That one I haven't heard, but for me, I prefer the accuracy of my purpose-built battery chargers to that of some chip thrown into a mod.

That is very convenient, but keep in mind that some of the mods recommend NOT to vape while charging - and a lot of vapers advise against it as well.

It is the surges in power. When you fire the mod, the power to the battery drops. The charger starts bringing it back up then you quit firing the mod and it jumps. Batteries like a steady flow of power for charging purposes. Some chips may handle this, or just quit charging when you fire the mod, but it is not something I want to rely on.

I agree wholeheartedly.
