So now what to get..?
I have the 30wmini - but found its 30 watt not strong enough for many devices (usually I vape at 30-40)
30w on the IPV2 or SXmini is much more powerful - better vape

So I thought I'd wait for the istick 50 , or when the SXzero is available again on FT or FC, but now this comes along
Hopefully when the istick comes out there will be some good comparison reviews

The new SMY 260w box mod made by Simeiyue. It’s an elegant looking box mod made from carbon fiber, tempered glass, and aluminum alloy. The device is powered by three 18650 battery’s which are easily accessible by removing the magnetic back plate. You can adjust the output wattage from 5 to 260 watts via the two buttons on the front of the device and it can power atomizers down to 0.3ohms.

Crxess, id love to hear how your battery life is above 40 watts

As expected - Chain Vaping off/on, trying different RDA's, running the Dark Horse @ 50w First Samsung R25 lasted about 4 hours.
Chip has 93% efficiency so it is pretty much up to Battery condition and Vaping habits.

Already told the Wife I'm going to need a few backup batteries. :D

And I just now noticed that the black Mini v2 is 100% less tacky looking. Black is actually black, buttons are black, and the check for broccoli stuck in your teeth mirror display is now dark. Shame they couldn't murder out the battery cap too. And still can't figure out why it has a goat on it now.

I hadn't noticed the black buttons and dark display. Looks good. Gives it a stealthy look. I have a 30w Mini on the way though. Don't have a need for 70w at all.

4 hours is pretty decent for single 18650

Really dependent on user, battery condition.
Both my Samsung 25R's are almost brand new
My Draws are anywhere form 3-8 seconds - all over the board.
Some times I'll vape 3-4 times in a minute but other times I'll take a vape once every few to 5 minutes or maybe go do something for 1/2 hour without vaping at all.

Lazy Sunday, I might kill an 18650 in 2hrs on a Mech pulling 40-45w. Lazy Sunday is Read/reply on ECF and Vape, Vape,Vape:laugh:
Might get to see how this compares tomorrow.:D

I am having the exact same dilemma. The SXzero looks really sleek, but I am not sure I would like the gravity setting. Do you know if it weighs more than this? Guess I'll have to research that.

Right behind you...

Weighs quite a bit more, with all that stainless in the frame of the Zero. And it's actually pretty clunky in person compared to today's crop of small 18650 regulated mods...last year people could call it small, now it's upper-mid sized. Plus, clone, vs authentic with the IPV Mini, and doesn't have nearly as good (if any) warranty coverage.

Good points made....I am leaning toward this mod for sure.

Mine is stuck in Jersey City. 2 day priority usps. It was ordered on Monday and has been there since wednesday according to the tracking number. :unsure:

Welcome to USPS
Mine did Jersey City.
NYC to JC to Capitol heights Md in under 24hrs. ..................................Then sat and sat. Suddenly it was at my door without ever updating.
Must be a new thing for Priority mail :blink:

That's a hulluva great first mod setup. Congrats

I've had an Atlantis with the sub ohm battery for a week or two. I'm not sure which I like more yet. The mini is great. The Subtank seems to get a lot hotter than the Atlantis though. I really like the Atlantis on this mod and was using it all night. I really want to like the Subtank more, but I don't yet.

subtank is less power hungry
