Ended up getting two Maxis, a shiny one and a tumble finish one which currently has OD green paint drying on it..
Yeah I've tried the following devices: GLV2, Chuck, SS GGTS, and the AA boxmod kits from MV.. Those devices have their strengths and their followings, but the Maxi Roughstack is perfect for me in pretty much every way. It's extremely minimalistic and functional while also repairable and replaceable... I don't need a flashy "functional work of art" or a technological marvel to complete my vaping experience- just relatively small size/weight, 18650 bat, and a working button that I won't accidentally press.
MV AA 3.7v boxmod kit is a second favorite.
I like assembling them and giving them to smoker friends..
