Little itty bitty mods under $100.

[Msand]

Makes sense, maybe I'll order the MVP20watt.
I really like the MVP, and 20 watts is plenty enough for me.

You might be better off waiting for the MVP3 to come out.

 

[gerrymi]

Uh oh..... we can't even define "itty bitty" in terms of size.....

I find aldenf's "mini" size limitations (23mm X 45mm X 85mm) to be quite useful!!!

The 30W is performing so well for me that any further testing is purely academic.

The 510 connection is much improved. Threading is clean and stainless steel. The center pin is spring-loaded with what appears to be a 3mm travel.

In summary, if you like the 20W istick, you will love the 30watter. It is everything the 20W SHOULD have been with more power, across a wider range of resistances. For $35, the iStick 30W is a no-brainer.

Well...for a list that started out as a "I-LOVE-the-20WiStick-size/shape/hand-comfort-but-want-one-that-"WORKS"...sounds like we may have found a WINNER!!!

I'm just concerned about the price of the MVP3, and the 20watt can be had for $30 shipped right now.

I bought an MVP2 Petals because I thought it was so pretty. I sold it within 2 weeks. The fire button took to much pressure. Since the mod has a native eGo connection, I had to use skirts with my toppers. It looked odd and made the device top heavy and way too tall.

I have an MVP2 and I love it. Perfect size and built like a tank. Battery lasts a long time.
I also have an iStick, and I don't like it, threads are crappy, seems really cheaply made, not durable.
I have an iPV mini and really like it too, durable, replaceable battery and spring loaded center pin.

I loved the colors, size and it was built like a tank! Did you use eGo threaded toppers or 510's? That was probably the biggest issue. I was using R91's which are heavy to begin with.

The iPV mini looks like a winner. Not too big, and it actually has an industrial design/actual attractive shape to it.

There are a whole lot of Very Ugly mods out there. [and then there's the Innokin grenade design that I have to learn to keep my mouth shut about. ]

 

[whodat2112]

I use Kayfun clones and the only thing I don't like is having to nudge the pin up occasionally, that wouldn't be a problem with the 20watt as it's spring loaded.

I'm not sure. I'm just the secretary, DrewGrimey. I'll put STOSH and alden and shack and jefs and four and bike on this right away tho. We will get answers!

It appears this is incorrect....

This is assuming the website showing the IPV Mini V2 70W - Dimensions are actually inches and not mm....when the first purchases are made, and pictures are available, we'll know for sure.....

Thank you, Stosh! I actually found the dimensions just a few minutes ago, and updated the sheet.

You're fired.

3.When not using your FOREVER 20 for a long period of time, please turn off the system, remove the battery and store it in a dry, safe place to avoid damage.

And by all means, DO remember the rules!

"Please observe the rules strictly. Avoid beating the product when using it."



Ummm, ok, we won't beat it when we're using it. How bout afterwards?

gerry, I also like alden's "mini" definition. Do you suggest we remove the devices that exceed these dimensions?


Oh, and UPDATE

I'm fine with the non-replaceable battery on devices at this low price range. I can replace the battery in my iStick when it's time, but...

This battery will probably go a year before the capacity degrades enough to warrant a replacement. OK, lets say even nine months. That would take me to July. Now look at all the cool new mods coming out. 30w, 50w, all kinds of chipsets. I can't imagine what cool thing will be available by July.

Plus, my iStick is showing some wear on the fire button, who knows what the threads will be like, and it'll still have the means voltage thing.

A new battery for the iStick would be like putting a new engine into a 1995 Ford Taurus.

Now, if I had a vaporshark, that would be worth a new battery. Just my dos centavos.

I'm not worried about battery long-term longevity, I'm worried about just being able to vape when I want to vape how I want to vape, and a non-replaceable battery using "modern" power-hungry taste-exploding cloud-spewing toppers means I'm sucking cold air in about two hours, and no recourse but to wait for a charge or maybe be tethered to a USB cable if the device deigns to have pass-through charging.

So, no easily swapped standard size battery means it's fairly unsuitable to me.

Be a different story if I could stand to go back to the old and busted high-ohm clearos like a Nautilus where a 2000+mAh battery could last all day, but this is 2015 and those tanks just don't cut it for me anymore, it's like taking a shower in a raincoat.

I use Kayfuns and build at roughly 1.1 to 1.5 ohms, so The MVP20watt should last a while. Also I usually vape about 15 watts, so I should be good.

That is a question for those that know these type of things.

Green Leaf (P4Y) does not have anything on its website regarding the iPV Mini v2. I would not take anything you read on the internet as gospel until Green Leaf publishes specs. My understanding is they will use the same enclosure with a different chipset.

I can relate, the MVP2 was my first foray into "box" shaped mods. Prior to that i felt they all needed to be the shape of the battery/batteries i started with. Round ones. I had ego twists, spinners, eVic supreme mech mods VV, VV/VW but everything shaped round till i picked up a MVP2 purely for battery potential. Found it to be a great little unit built like a tank. I still have it though it is relegated to the bottom shelf, seldom used devices now. The only complaint i ever had with it was the blasted configuration of the fire button. Placement, that great wall of vape built around it to protect from accidental fire and the force needed to make the switch. Have since moved on to a IPV3 at the house with drippers and had been using iSticks as my daily driver. I am trying a Kamry 20 right now just because I keep scratching up my iSticks terribly. During the work day I am extreamly hard on devices. The Kamry is made of a good thick aluminum body (brushed) that seems to be holding up pretty good. Pics if requested. One other thing it does show the same 6w/3v limitation as the iStick 20 but it is obvious with a (1.5 ohm coil in a modified iClear X.l) on both at 6w the iStick is considerably hotter and will burn some juices.

What missing from the Spreadsheet is a warranty info.
It's seems Cloupor Mini is the winner in most categories (at least for now). The price is from $36 to 49. Average about $44 including ebay.

These are the only dimensions I've seen published as well; listed on wholesaler sites. Methinks (and hopes!) these are the dimensions of the packaging.

This looks pretty sweet. They have a fb page, https://www.facebook.com/shenximinibomber?fref=photo.

I wonder what the relationship is with Pioneer4you and Shenxi? Shenxi /pioneer4you Ipv Mini Box Mod Bomber 25w With 18650 Battery Cigarette Can Charge For Phone - Buy Ipv Mini Box Mod,Ipv Mini Mod,Mini Bomber Mod Product on Alibaba.com

This definitely looks interesting, especially those looking for an easily replaceable battery. But it's taller than and almost as wide as the iStick 50W. Such is the price of a replaceable battery...

I'm not sure what you're looking for, whodat. Your iPV Mini is your primary device; the iStick and MVP2 your backups. That seems like a great setup. Do you just have shinyitis like the rest of us or are you looking to fill a need?

Me thinks and hopes the same. I suddenly felt very unendowed if that thang is 8 1/2 inches long!
