Li'l Mixxy looks pretty cool in shorty mode but I've only got 3 x 18350 batteries- all from around 2018. They still work but I need to upgrade my stock.

Mooch recently posted reviews for the KeepPower and Vapecell 18350 batteries.



I'm planning on purchasing 4 of the 1200mAh KeepPower 350's.

Hi,
Could you recommend me SBS mods please ?
-> 21700 compatible
-> below 100gr weight
-> I prefer no buttons at bottom.
-> easy to buy. Ships to EU/UK. I don't want to join some fancy facebook(which i have never used) groups.

I have 2 x Brunhilde (145gr) and 1 x Paramour (100gr).
I can only complain about weight for Brunhilde, except that it's perfect. There are also shims at the box which is nice, it also have stealth mode.
About Paramour, so lighter than Brunhilde but no stealth mod. To be honest it also feels cheap(especially fire button) comparing to the Brunhilde but works fine.

Other than the "not buttons at bottom", most of the Unions line would suit you fine. If you can find a TEK Endurance 21700 available, that would cover all your points.

Both are great mods. More expensive than the ones you list, but worth the difference (in my opinion).

Marty Weinberger maintains a full list in his very well maintained and managed SbS group on Facebook. I know you said that you don't want to deal with that, but it's great.

ECF doesn't allow for Excel attachments so I've PDF it for you (see attached). You might need a magnifying glass.

Whoever invented "Print to PDF" and then somehow got it Built-In to Most Print Software deserves some kind of Medal.

And should be issued a NHTBADA ( Never have to Buy a Drink Again) Card.

Excel also allows you to Save As PDF now, which is handy. I did change the print settings a touch, because it was all squishing onto one page (tinier than tiny, even)!

Also, and just for what it's worth, with the Unions, I don't ever have to lock the wattage. The buttons are on the bottom, but they're very small and NEVER adjust unintentionally.

With the Endurance, which has the power buttons on its side, I MUST lock the wattage (it WILL adjust unintentionally).

I prefer not having to worry about locking wattage, because I don't ALWAYS vape the same wattage. But that, like everything "Vape", is both personal & subjective.

Thanks. I see you have sold an union 3.3 once upon a time(Google :> ). Which SBS do you use now, endurance?

I still have three more Unions, two of which are running full time. I also have (and use) a TEK Endurance, and still love the grandaddy of them all, the XvoStick (from 2015ish). I have two of those (Xvo).

I also have one of the Stratum clones, which is pretty nice too. :)

I THINK that's all I have in the SbS variety these days. Sometimes it's tough to keep track. :lol:

I have too many mods. :blush:

I hit the 12 year mark exactly four minutes ago. In that time, I've collected "a few" mods. We are vapers! :greengrin::headbang::vapor:

Considering what it became, I fought joining fb for years. But without a doubt, the best gear I own came from groups there. There's no requirment that you visit anything other than the vape sites you're interested in.

I decided to get Rusmods Union 3.3, non-LE version.
But i couldn't contact the company on website("contact us" section doesn't even work). Does anyone know e-mail address ?

Try this one and let me/us know:

shop@rusmods.com

That's the one that I had previously used (a lot). I just sent one there and it hasn't bounced back, at least not yet. I'm keeping my eyes on it too.

I have not received a response yet, and I noticed that their own forum hasn't had any posts since February. I'm wondering if they ceased ops but haven't taken down their site yet. This is unfortunate, and it's not the first time I've experienced it.

Assuming they ARE out of business, I'm hoping you didn't actually place an order with them yet. If you haven't, I'd say that I've also been VERY pleased with the TEK Endurance. It comes in multiple configurations, and has been very good to me, at least to date. Milos is very active on Facebook, both in his group, and in Mark Todd's "The Shed".

Unless I hear back from Rusmods, I'll stop speaking of their products. Sad, because they're some of my favorites ever.

They wanted to kill the small-market vape companies, and I'd say they're doing a "great" job of it. :grr::(

    Never owned anything by Rusmods but I'd heard/seen good things about the Union from people that had them, so it's a real shame if a good company selling quality products did indeed go out of business because of the idjits making it so difficult to comply with the regulations and ever changing laws.

    I see for example on the TEK site that they say they are only shipping in Florida for any items covered by the PACT Act.

    I'm still half-hoping to hear back from Vitaliy, but it's odd because he had always been very responsive in the past. I agree that it'd be a shame. They're absolutely fantastic mods and I feel fortunate to still have three of them. Kat didn't like the thumbfire so she sent me hers too. :greengrin:

    TEK shipped to me in CT, so that's VERY odd. If someone was interested, I'd definitely recommend checking with him on Facebook. Like I mentioned, he stays very visible there.

    My poor Xvos hardly ever get out any more. They're still very sentimental for me, so they'll never leave, but I need to take them out on the road a bit more. The lightweights of the Unions and TEKs have spoiled me a bit.

    "I see for example on the TEK site that they say they are only shipping in Florida for any items covered by the PACT Act."

    I might be blabbing here and spilling the beans, but I've seen other companies use that exact language. Turns out there is some sort of secret handshake comment you have to put in the comment box when you order. Seems like the company I'm thinking of has it on their fb page; Such is life these days where such silly cr*p has to happen.

    I guess a state being named is because it's their home state, and avoids the gummint since it's not interstate commerce.

    Yeah i haven't ordered yet because there is no answer to my email. :(
    TEK Endurance
    Also looked at it but there is no cap for battery on 21700 version, also some people might like but i don't like these push-battery style. Since looks like there is no Rusmods, gonna wait some new models from other manufacturer. If I find i will get another Paramour which is perfectly designed for my taste.

    Thanks to you all, especially @DPLongo22
