This will get me to a "comfortable" stash level. I'm augmenting with some Nemmies for my mech mod stash (I'll have six when the orders arrive :D ) Plenty of tanks, coils, wire, wick and DIY juice supplies.

While my orders are being delivered, I'm going to keep hounding my representatives (o_O - are they REALLY representing *ME*?) and hoping that sense can be knocked into the idjuts in charge. I absolutely do not disagree with age limitations (as useful as they are :sneaky: ) but throwing a grandfather date back almost TEN YEARS????? That is infinity with respect to technological development. Look at how far we've come in ONLY 125 years - cars, planes, computers, space travel..... Ten years is an eternity.

Well stated, Dinger.

Consider a ProVari. They are known for long term durability. There are blems on sale. I like iSticks but recently got 1 ProVari P3 Celtic Knot and 2 2.5 mini Gun Metal ZenKote. I'll probably get a Classic later. They are nice. You can feel the quality and the vape is smoother than the cheap Chinese stuff I use.

Specials of the week
Thanks. Good chance that page is my best bet.
If there are any iSticks without internal battey, and can vape low wattage, I'd consider those, too.

The istick pico goes down to 1 watt. External 18650, and is firmware upgradable

Not sure if it's mini enough for you, but the Wismec Pressa 75TC will go down to 1 watt.

For a tube, the SVD2 in 18350 mode might be worth looking at?
Thanks. Looked at both. I'm thinking that I have no need for temp control, but does the extra electronics add to the size?
With what I use now, I just about never get any dry hits. Maybe I'd want to go higher wattage some day, so could be a plus.

Geez! I wander for a couple days, and y'all just carry on...

Knight V1. Heavy, but very nice.

Pico. Incoming.

Security in the coming dark times? Even if you don't like 'em, get a tube mech. A Nemesis or Chi You with a Kick ring and a Kick will last and last and last and provide some protections via the Kick. I was lucky enough to snag a 5-12 Watt Smok Kick for $3 last Monday.

Provari blems for $30. Will last for years and years and...
Wow, didn't know those could be bought for such price.. Still ,it will remain a wish :) cheapest shipping option to me is 40 USD, so, a no go .. Will have to shoot for Pico instead probably, as I should probably have a mod with removable battery ..

Do any minis have 5w setting?

Most temperature control devices go to one watt.
Seven watts is the lowest for the KSD Vamo box, but it is small and ergonomically tremendous.
Nice smooth vape at 7 watts with 1.8 ohm coils.

That`s right folks, ergonomically tremendous. :p

Here's one thing I haven't understood. Wouldn't a kick be as likely to go bad, as much as the regulating electronics in a regulated mod?

Yes but if that happens one can remove the kick and use it as a full mech.
Having said that I'm not stocking up on mechs. ymmv :)

Never suggested stocking up, but having a couple on hand... And, yes, if a iStick goes bad, you have a paperweight. If a Kick goes bad, you still have a functional mechanical device.

Wismec makes a 30 watt regulated control head, and I have a 35 watt HCIGAR (Gyro) that will convert into a mech.
