If you are looking at the IPV4S be sure to check out the IPV3 Li . If you watch the reviews on You Tube the IPV3 is higher rated then the IPV4S.
You can pick one up at Angel cigs for $70.00. I found out about it right after I pulled the trigger on a Clouper GT 80 but am not too dissapointed because the Cloupor GT 80 is the smallest or one of the smallest 2 18650 2 bat devices on the market. I haven't felt the need to go much above 60 Watts anyway. But I'm still eyeing the IPV3.
Greatly appreciate the information!

I wanted a SX Mini from the day I first seen it.

Time passes. Provari's, Coolfires, iSticks and everything else comes into my life. Coolfire is actually a nice mod BTW but anyhoo...........

Still that hole...........

Screw it, I can't take it with me. Ready to order it online but headed to NYC so maybe I can get a deal as its being phased out. I did, got it for 139$ at Beyond Vape. Store only but you could call. I've seen it for 150$ online.

It was worth the wait but really I shouldn't have tortured myself. Its worth the 200 I realize now.

The TC works great but honestly the settings it has for kanthal work better (for me). Using its five settings (Performance+, Performance, Standard, Soft and Eco) I can change my vape to suit my moods without touching the wattage.

Get it.
I just moved from NYC. What part are you going to? I lived in the lower east side, just recently moved to Raleigh, NC

I gotta admit that while I quit smoking for several reasons money was one of them. Smokes are only 10 bucks a pack up here but they are only for tourists. Locals all buy from a bootlegger and thats what finally broke me. The state is really cracking down on bootleggers and finding a "guy" was getting to be a pain. At full price I was smoking about $700 a month which is why I laugh when people say mods are expensive. To a NYer a SX Mini is a couple weeks smoking. I could throw a SX away on the first of every month and buy a new one and still be money ahead.

For 5 bucks a pack legally?? I'd like to say I'd still quit but it would be awful tough.

Yeah I knew about the bootleggers but I was always to lazy to go out of my way, I travel a lot for work and work for Just Energy so I was always stuck in an office in queens all day long lol. I just forked out the money for the convenience. And yeah in North Carolina (where I live now) cigs run around 5-6 a pack but problem was....... I was spending the same and smoking twice as much lmao..... It was time to quit!

Ok ok cool, I went to college in Rochester, NY for a year at St John Fisher before I transferred to St Johns U back in the city to play baseball (St johns D1 / St Johm Fisher D2) tore rotator cuff in senior year of high school went to play D2 and then they saw I could still play so off to St. John's I went lol, free school, yay! But we had the Sennys in NYC I just couldn't deal with them lol...... The menthols were Ick but my boy lived by the Seneca reds which made me gag just smelling them!!! So I'm familiar with Syracuse...... I've been to that huge mall they have there which was pretty cool...... We mostly hung out at the bars near Friday's and world of beer lol

I've seen Senecas as far away as South Carolina. But to get them for 1.50 you had to go right on the Rez. About a 7 hour RT. From a bootlegger they are 3-5 a pack.

When I hear somebody here say they can't take a blast off a subohm tank with some watts I have to stop and remember not everyone smoked Rez cigs

Even to me, an SX Mini is only a couple weeks of smoking and they are around $7 a pack here in Michigan.
