@Katdarling, you asked for it. Tried to be organized but I think I failed.[emoji53]

Here are the mini itty bitties: istick mini (now a 20w), the mini volt 40W and the ksd vamo box 25w. Only the vamo box has an external battery.

Here are some "bigger" itty bitties with internal batteries. The istick 30w, the Coolfire IV (40w), and the Tesla Two (safety restrictions but not variable).

Here are (mostly) external battery, single 18650, itties. Kbox (40w), Heatvape Defender II (50w), kbox mini (50w), istick 50w (not external, told you I failed), olax hero (30w), Heatvape Defender mini (50w & TC for Ni).

Temp control mods (forgot the defender mini was TC, and the XVO stick--another fail). eVic-VTC mini (60w, now 75w w/firmware update), istick Pico (75w), and Smoant Knight V1 (60w).

Side by sides. XVO stick (DNA 40), Luxury Box (35w), Knight V1 (60w).

Non-variable, itty bitty tubes. Ego AIO & eGo One mini.

And because I forgot a couple (and yet, I forgot the defender mini here [emoji35]), evic mini, kbox, tosser stick, kbox mini, mini Jedi, hero, defender II, pico, knight v1, drop box, luxury box. All single 18650s.

Edit: Darn it!!! I just realized that the XVO (tosser stick), doesn't fit in this thread because of price!!! Grrr!!!

Wow! Thank you!
That's the full poly tank section, replacing all three of the smaller rings.
Ok. I have heard it called an M-tank. Don't know why, but have heard it.
@DancingHeretik

Here is the "copper" hero with various kayfuns on top.

Personally I think a SS tank would look best because the "ring" on the top of the device is SS.

I am currently using the "white" hero, which is really matte/brushed SS and it looks great with a stainless tank.

Comes closer to the gold. But, you're right, the SS would look better on it.

But, I bought the 'white' instead. It's safer.

The clock is not my favorite part, but I liked the original egrip, it just leaked like a sieve. I am a fan of the Cubis coils, so this looks pretty good to me. It is an internal battery, so it is not a vapepocalypse device, but for the here and now, I'm thinking about it.

Does it connect to the internet? Can I make a phone call? LOL Hold the phone a sec, I gotta vape...

Got one. It just stopped working last night. Grrr.......... Don't know what's going on. Dead as dead can be... :facepalm:

If you've pulled the spring already, just start a RMA with them. Sending out and getting back takes about one week.

And sorry :-(

I fiddled with the spring, cleaned all the contacts, nada.

OK, I have to set the record straight--with my sincere apologies to ProVape. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my ProVari mini 2.5. The problem was my extension cap that I bought from err... not ProVape. :blush: I assumed it was authentic.

I just installed a fresh 18350 battery and the original standard end cap, works like a charm.



I'll see myself out.

All those single 18650 mods are wonderful. In particular, I'm eyeballing the eVic VTC Mini.

Unfortunately, I often need more than 60w. Even though many single 18650 mods go over 60w, I don't like pushing a single cell that hard.

Other than the Asmodus Minikin, what are some small dual 18650 mods? Could someone show a size comparison of the Sigelei 213 to some of the smaller mods?

BOOM!

I don't have a Sig213 (yet). I see, though, that they've already released a less expensive model - the Sig Fuchai 213. Go figger...

I did post a largish size comparison a couple days ago... Little itty bitty mods under $100.

The Kanger 120/200 are relatively small. The iStick TC100W is OK, too. Then there's the Cloupor GT and the SMOK R200...

I believe it's about the same size as Evic VTC. VaporTrails video review shows them side by side. Sorry but I'm linkless this morning. Should be an easy Google though.

The Sig 213 is about the same size as a Cuboid in width and depth and is a bit shorter in height. It is apparently a lot lighter than the Cuboid. I would not purchase one as it does seem to have a ton of problems. Read thru the thread in this section. Sigelei is also coming out with the Fuchai 213 that is identical to the Sig 213 but in aluminum rather than carbon fibre. Price will be 1/2 of the Sig 213 price. Hopefully they fix the issues. I was going to buy a sig 213 until I started reading all the issues.

THIS!!
I was liking the size of both of them, but didn't need the power so got the Pico instead. But both are a very nice size for dual battery mods.

Wismec in collaboration with Jaybo are about to release a new mod called the rx75. It was inspired by Twisted420 (youtube reviewer) kinda like how Jaybo did the Theorem RTA with input from Matt from Suck My Mod. It looks pretty small to me, but they haven't released much info about it yet. Not sure exactly when it will be released. Let me see if I can find a pic of it from instagram.... brb...

Just watched the release video, seems kinda large and clunky for a single 18650 mod? About the same size as the Istick 100w and the sunk in 510 connection isn't going to sit well with many.
yeah, I dont like it. It's taller than the Minikin. And I'm not a fan of the drop down for the tank because you're limited with what tanks you can use. It is very skinny, but just too tall for me for a single 18650 mod. And honestly, it's kinda ugly. dimensions for it are:
DEPTH 22.5 mm
HEIGHT 107 mm
WIDTH 47 mm

And their new tank- the amor- is nothing special. just a regular, 2ml capacity top fill tank that needs proprietary coils.

For a small, single 18650 device, I'd rather get the Nugget by Artery.

I don't think this thing is gonna sell very well.

A lot of the tanks I use now are 24 or 25mm. Looks like that could be a showstopper for a mod like that.

The Nugget by Artery looks interesting, though. It's a little under my preferred power level, but it is tiny. I'm assuming it has an internal battery pack, hopefully with decent capacity.

BOOM!

I think you have the height wrong. That is with the included tank. Without, it is 87mm.

Ah, I probably do. I just copy pasted from fast tech. Still, taller than I'd like and not aesthetically pleasing.
@Frocket the nugget does have an internal battery, but it does temp control! I recently got a minivolt, it's only 40 watts, but I was shocked at how well it performed at 30 watts. I mean, with a single coil build with a resistance of .8, I was getting vapor you'd expect from dual coils at like .2ohms at a wattage much higher. So I have high hopes for the nugget. I typically vape around 60-70 watts and I thought the minivolt wasn't really gonna be that great for me, but it came basically free with the purchase of a Moonshot RTA, and I actually really like it. And it's so tiny and cute!

I looked at the Nugget and the Mini Volt, don't care that both have internal batteries (I've heard of a few of MV's dying shortly after being purchased?) and that's kind of a deal killer for me. Then seeing a Pico beside a min volt it was a no brainer for me! Replaceable battery, TC, in all modes, etc., and just not that much bigger, as well as a bit cheaper.
But that was my logic, others have other reasoning.

I thought the same thing! But, I'm actually kind of liking the internal battery in the minivolt. I wouldn't get a mod with an internal battery as my go-to, all day setup because it's frustrating not being able to vape while the battery charges (yes, I know I CAN do it, but don't want to mess up the battery) but I don't mind it in this mod because it's kind of my novelty mod (well, one of them lol) and it makes it a lot lighter and smaller.

Right, and I thought of the MV in the same light, night out with the wife, short fishing trip etc, something light and compact. Then I thought "Hey, for the same money I can get another Pico in black!" I'm terrible, I know, and money is a bit tight on this end, so it's more about needs than wants! I've got mechs that will go down to 18350 if I really need smaller than the Pico.
