Smoke-frosted Mixx
Feels just as grippy in the hand as the full metal version. Weight wise it's only 7.6g lighter, which I'm glad about as I love the weight of the Mixx

Don't tell anyone but I did end up stumbling upon one. 
Don't mind the battery cap. I stuck a button top in there, just cuz I felt like it. I don't pay 'em to look good.

Just wanted to take a moment to sing the praises of the MechLyfe Paramour mod. This has really hit a sweet spot, I think. It is 21700/18650 SBS which uses a deeply threaded cap to adjust the battery height, so there is no battery sleeve to worry about. It is all metal, rugged and supports attys up to 24mm. Have run many tanks on it and it has worked perfectly. I have only used it in watts, but it does have TC, VV and Bypass as well.
For a 21700, the mod is small. It is a bit wider and thicker than an 18650 Aspire Mixxx but slightly shorter. I think this comes from not using a stock battery tube.
I love compact 21700 mods. I can puff for days at 14watts. Recommended.

It looks great, I'm a big fan of Mixx too.
Question, is it possible to see the board clearly enough to take size measurements?
I'll do some better pics with my camera at the weekend. But here's a crappy iPhone pic:
It's clearer than the pic shows, but you could certainly measure what you are able to see.
The clear frosted version looks slightly clearer (pardon the pun
)
Thank you very much, do you think there is an opportunity to measure the board, approximately, thought about whether a DNA60 or a Dicodes BF 60 board could fit.I'll do some better pics with my camera at the weekend. But here's a crappy iPhone pic:

Got some Supbox accessories yesterday. Bought an orange cage and an 18350/18650 kit which removes the cage.
For those who don't know about the supbox, it is made by SXK and will take both boro tanks and regular tanks. Mine is the DNA 60 version. It gets alot of use. I wrote a small positive review of it earlier in this thread. The new kit gives it a new look and is obscurely named Replacement 18350/18650 battery tube and ring.
Here's the mod in all of its configurations (excuse the dirt on the mod in the pics).
The original supbox boro cage configuration.
Unscrew the battery cap, remove the boro cage and the little 510 insert. Here is the mod broken down to its core (note heatsink in bankground).
Now screw add the cage with the original battery tube and heatsink and you get this. Note the new snappy orange cage:
So now the kit. It consists of a split battery tube and a plate.
To use the kit, remove the old battery tube, put on the plate and capture the plate with half of the battery tube. Use the original battery cap.
Here is the mod in 18350 mode and my Coppervape Skyline with Aspire 25mm bubble glass
Now remove the battery cap, add the 18650 extension put the battery cap on and you get this:
It reminds me of the Stratum Balance but I don't own one to compare it to. Pretty cool.
Currently the DNA 60 version of the Supbox is like $93 on Fasttech. For a DNA 60, I think that is a good deal. The kit is about $20.

The top of the chip is visible, just not sure how far down it goes. I measured from where the arrows are on this pic:
My calipers are cheapies, so this is an extremely rough approximate. Length was 30-31mm, thickness 1.5mm and the width is nearly impossible to judge.
Did you have to do anything to the mod like screw or unscrew the cap thing or were you able to sneak that on there without messin around?

Just got other day. First SBS and new mod in 2 yrs. Liking both SBS and this mod. Only makes sense IMO for lower watt MTL vaper. Solid compact guy. SS + Zinc. Resistance reads accurate. 510 a bit protected with SBS design (which is always my mod downfall hoping SBS solves). Don't see any gap, flush attys to minimize fall leverage damage. (It is a bit weighty tho to take fall) Instant fires. And cheap. Does have a slower swap battery cap. Also not best mod for light rain - bat cap open on top + no actual screen cover.
Few size comparison pics with KF5, Zenith, Siren v2. Joytech VTC Mini / KF5 on right. Digging its size.

Thanks for pointing me to them. Interesting site!
However, around 2 to $300 and like pretty much all of their models it's sold out? What do they do, build three of each? Do they think they're selling, original art?
I spent my career designing high-end consumer products. You design something and find that people like it; you build MORE of them!

I can't speak to The Big, but I can tell you that he made a pretty good number of Warlocks that are out & about these days. A stroll through one of the Facebook groups confirms that fact.
Given a lot of people's preference for larger battery mods, I expect there were more than just a few Biggies sold too. That's purely a guess on my part, of course.
