So I recently just purchased the TFV12 tank and I was looking for a new mod to go with it. I have been up in the air between the smok GX350 and the Smok Alien. Reason the squeeze fire would be much easier on my hands seeing as I have carpel tunnel. So my question here are there any other squeeze fire mods out there I should be looking into? My price range is about 80-100 dollars. If I can spend less that would be great. It being a kit doesn't matter I'm okay with just a mod. I would love to hear everyone's suggestions and thoughts. I more than likely won't be going over 150 watts with the TFV12 I like the juice capacity, the flavor and large rebuildable deck.

smok has another squeeze-y one: H-priv. I've been admiring the mini version, but the big 220W version is what you'd need. I don't have any personal experience with them - just been admiring from afar.
I'm not super Keen on the idea of having a big screen on a mod like that I feel like it would drain a lot of battery when in use

I have an Alien and G-Priv and really like both. Alien smaller and lighter while the touch screen on the G-Priv makes navigation very easy. As far as reduced battery life on that big screen, one tap and slight hold of a button locks the screen and a following tap of that same button puts it in stealth mode, screen off. I never use stealth mode and set the screen timeout to 20 seconds (I think) and don't notice any perceivable difference in run time..... but I don't run either very long above 100 watts. I just wouldn't dismiss the G-Priv for limited battery life.

I really like this mod. Do you think my efest soda charger would charge the 20700 batteries correctly. I know they will fit but will they be a charging hazard. (I like that it comes with the 18650 sleeve)

I also am getting some mixed review on if the carbon fiber sides are stickers or actual plates that snap on and off which would be so awesome.

I think if I were in the market for a new mod right now the ijoy captain would get my vote Although i'm vaping an Alien 220 right now and it's a first class vape . Good luck in your decision.
I like the idea of the ijoy Capitan and I love how it looks so far though the cons are

1.) Sticker panels
2.) No lock function
3.) I've heard it's under powered

Pros:
1.) Battery life and the option to use 18650s
2.) The mod looks great
3.) 30mm attys will look good.

The panels is an aesthetic decision but how is it underpowered when it comes with 2X20700 30A batteries? It should have no problem hitting the 150W you're talking about.

I have watch several videos on it and then comparing it to a DNA of the same wattage and one having a hotter vape than the other. So the question. Is it putting out the power it says it is? I don't care so much about it because I'll be lucky to vape at 100w. 80w is my preferred. Im just hoping the board is good and reliable. Also could be that filmware will fix for any small issues.

The sticker thing is just preferance I suppose it's cool you can change them but then my worry is would rain damage it if I am going from a building to my car and it starts to rain lightly will the sticker peal and bubble. I just feel like a swappable faceplates would have a been a better move for customizing for the consumer. Not something to get hung up on but it looks like a premium mod but will it feel like a premium mod once it is in the hand?

I really dig the batteries though. This mod isn't off my list just seeing cons like I saw for the Smok GX350 I think that mod is completely out since it will only run in 4 battery mode then the need to get a 4 bay battery charger because I only have a 2 battery efest Soda.
