Thanks for the swiffer attempts, LLB. But once the door was opened (and the rainy dogs walked in)..... it was inevitable.

Welp, this Tootler Kween is not getting an itty bitty under one hundred buckaroonies, so that's why I've been on the kwiet side. It IS small, and I call it my "Seatbelt" mod. G'wan. Guess.


I'll play your little game... I bet it starts with a kiss, and ends with a hug! xoxo ;)

ah, you left the VaporShark Sbody Macro off that list. It's second in lil itty bitty to only the Istick 30w @ 57,813mm3, and with a DNA 40, better quality electronics than ANYthing on that list imho. PLUS zipcharging.

I'd like a comprehensive list, for when I need my next Lil, and that ain't doin it for me without the Macro. Don't misundertake me, I love the list, but I'm waiting for something to unseat the Sbody before I buy @<$100.

Labor Day sale made it $80, and that's a lot of QPR (quality to price ratio) to be left out of this running.

Thank you, crxess. You're very sweet.


Monsieur LLB, I'm sorry I was so enigmatic.

It's just a cute little thang, but not in our declared price range.

Didn't see this before posting, and didn't see that we replied exactly the same way to @Woofer either. Go figure.

That's a strange looking little cigalike, Kat. Kinda thick, no? Is that the best angle you've got?

What did you call me? No - I am NOT...

Has anyone ordered from gearbest?
What is your experience for shipping time and customer support?
It has been 6 weeks since a Cloupor Mini 30w that I ordered shipped to CA.
I did send gearbest a query and received a standard reply including "can get it later" "out of our control".
While I do understand that after something hits the shipper it is out of the vendor's control, I had hoped for a more informative/supportive response.
I did use paypal for payment so am not worried about a refund if it doesn't show up soon.

Folks, thanks for keeping up with this thread.
I am slowly (obviously) switching over to itty bitty 18650 mods and appreciate all the info shared as new models come out every day it seems.

I've placed several orders there, not all vaping stuff. They do a GREAT job of making FastTech look very speedy!:nah:
Yea, fasttech orders get here in 2-3 weeks - usually closer to 2.
Here's hoping that gearbest ship is getting close to the CA coast. :nun:

You're being kind. The new software does not seem to be search friendly at all. If anyone knows a trick, please do share!

Kat...I go to Google and type in...site:e-cigarette-forum.com ABC...where ABC is what I'm searching for.

ah, you left the VaporShark Sbody Macro off that list. It's second in lil itty bitty to only the Istick 30w @ 57,813mm3, and with a DNA 40, better quality electronics than ANYthing on that list imho. PLUS zipcharging.

You're right LLB...it is "second in lil itty bitty to only the Istick 30w". But I left it off my list for a few reasons:

Even at $80...it's still at least twice the cost of most of the other Mods on the list.

It does NOT have TC. (And even though, currently, I have NO interest in TC...I figure I ought to at least have the option if I change my vaping habits in the future.)

And...the SBody Macro (at 57,813 mm³) is only barely smaller than the Cloupor Mini Plus (at 63,899 mm³).

SBody Macro...22mm x 35mm x 75mm

Cloupor Mini+...22mm x 37mm x 78.5mm

Cloupor Mini+...22mm x 37mm x 78.5mm

Sorry, my bad @gerrymi . I didn't realize this was your list, I thought this was THE list.

To me, the Sbody is still my favorite. Size is my first priority, quality my 2nd. Price? I thought we established this as "under $100" criteria. I'm comfortable anywhere in that range. I also agree with you regarding TC. Since lil mods are now available WITH TC for less than $100, why even consider one without? I use it, and as more tanks and tech comes out, I suspect it will be like power windows. Just going to come with it soon so might as well get used to using it.

I personally wouldn't consider a fixed battery for a number of reasons, and the next reliable removable 18650 battery mod is the VTC Mini, as I wouldn't trust a Cloupor any farther than I could throw one. I only say that because I own one. The VTC mini @ 20% larger? For the $30 difference I think that's worthwhile since my first criteria is lil itty bitty, and my 2nd is quality. Evolv DNA chipset vs. Joyetech? Just bonus.

Zip charging? Probably not a big deal to some, but the ability to charge the battery in the mod if I forgot a spare, in 1.5 hrs. versus 5 hours for a Cloupor Mini, thats worth something to me too.

It's cool though, I'll keep my own list with my own criteria (T.C., Smaller than 5in³, removable 18650 batteries), and that way I can keep the stuff I wouldn't consider out of it.

do we have the ipv d2 on the list, gerry? replaceable 18650 ;)

Depth 23 mm
Height 78 mm
Width 40 mm
Product Weight 180 g (no battery)

$45.48 Authentic Pioneer4You iPV D2 75W VW TC APV Box Mod - 1*18650 / 7-75W / aluminum / black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I really like the looks, size and power of that little thing. It has TC and replaceable battery too. Way more power than I need but it's so sleek looking.

I wonder if the finish is durable. Was it the IPV4 that had problems with the finish coming off? I read so many comments here that I don't remember.
