Tesla Nano 100w??? If so this one. I can vouch for this mods durability... If you get the steampunk editions get the copper version. If you get the brass version it will be some weird brass plating on top of a copper mod and once it scratches you will have some weird Frankenstein brass/copper mod.

For some people the weight may be an issue but I prefer a hefty mod than a lightweight mod.

To be honest, while I know that some people like the smaller size of disposable mods, I learned quickly that such mods while some can have a decent lifespan, once the internal battery is dead, it's a paperweight, which is 1) wasteful, and 2) once dead on the go, you have to recharge it and can't use it during this. If you really like your mod, it's sad to just see it end up seeing it going into a recycle bin.

The replaceable batteries type have become much better, some models are very small now, you can carry spares to switch on the go, those batteries can be replaced so the mod is good until the chipboard dies on it, getting another battery or two is much cheaper than another mod, and if the mod does die, you can simply get another mod and still use the same batteries which ends up being much cheaper.

While I know that this doesn't answer your question, it's just food for though.

I wish I had a Tesla Nano to say anything on that but not yet. Theyre so popular and im not seeing complaints. Innokin has mastered internal batteries as far as I can tell. Ive owned the MVP3, Coolfire IV Plus, and I think a regular MVP. MVP quit working because it went flying. External batteries are better for what? You can certainly be sending it in for repair while hopefully still under warranty in short order. Been seeing a lot of screens out and crappy connectors, etc. Unless it's a mec, I can't see that it makes a lot of difference. Long-term storage is questionable in both. Buy from trusted and proven and it's all good. I have plenty of external battery mods. There's still always a place for a convenient and quality internal device.

Actually went with the Smok g150
All internal battery mods share one gigantic problem: micro USB 2.

Micro usb2 was never designed to be used as a charging system. When designing a port the lifespan of the device is measured by the number of insertions before breaking. The insertion number of micro USB 2 is one tenth of what it should be for a charging system. It was literally DESIGNED to crap out on you. Ironic caly regular USB is fine because it WAS designed with a reasonable insertion number.

Point of irony:
If mods came with an older and "worse" charging port they would work fine and be a reasonable buy.
As it stands though I cannot recommend anyone buy an internal battery mod ever unless they're fine with it going belly up in as little as a few weeks and all their money going down the drain.

It's probably the port rather than the battery. Micro usb2 is a worthless standard. It's why they pushed USB c through so fast.
In general I concur though.
