Delores...it DOES look interesting...but I sure hope the Cascade Tank's coil lasts a LONG time...being that their cost appears to be $10.99 per coil...:shock:

Vaporesso GT Mesh Coil Heads

[OOPS...just checked the BOTTOM of that page...and it seems the $10.99 is for a 3-Pack...]

..
AAAAAA! That's what I paid for them last friday! 10 bucks the pack!!!

After everything bad they said about the Cloupor Mini, who would have thought it would last so much.

Another case where the first issue had, well, issues.... Cloupor was actually quick to admit the problem (internal charge circuit) and fix it. That response from them rather than the usual "not us, user error" chant, got me to buy my first - of several :)

Hate when I go away from the forum & have to do the multi-quote thing! :(
Thanks for all the help!
The CB-60 by Wismec is a nice small mod that is light and has a built in 2300 mAH battery. I bought one for my wife and she uses the ( Doggystyle ) on it , and after trying it for myself I liked it also so I purchased one for myself.

Thanks, Bob. I love my P80, and the CB60 looks great, too. Unfortunately, it's larger than my SBody, though. I'm afraid I'll have to go the internal battery to get what I want.
Just my 22 cents. Go for the Gobe. ;)

Thanks, Kat- Looked at that, and looks good - but because it's a kit, I can't get mod only size/weight specs anywhere. I do know it's only 20mm, so I'd have overhang, but that'd be okay if it's light enough/short enough. Don't know what it weighs, but it looks light. :)
@AngeNZ - Don't know why the Target Mini wasn't on my list (added now)- been out there longer than any of the others, I believe, and still checks most of the boxes. Minikin looks great too. But they all drive me nuts - they talk about how small they are, but the only way to get the actual numbers seems to be if Fasttech stocks the mod only!

I'll probably change my mind again, but right now, that Nugget X is the lightest, and only a mm or 2 bigger than a couple others, with more capacity & fast charge. Probably the ugliest one, though- wish they had SS. Whatever I end up with, somebody's sure to release a better one probably before I even receive mine, though.;)

I have a silver iStick 20W and a black iStick TC 40W. Both are several years old and still work fine. If I want stealthy pocket carry away from home I frequently carry the black one. It still looks and vapes like new. Who cares if it doesn't know about SS316L in TC mode. I vape in power mode anyway.

I've got several mods, and my current favorite is the S-Body Macro, mostly due to size. But I really want a very small, light pocket mod. Doesn't have to be external battery, or have fantastic life. I just want one that's not a brick in my pocket for short term use - working in the yard, out to dinner, etc.

Brew...if you really want a very small, light pocket set-up...have you considered going in another direction than just finding a small Mod for the tanks you use at home?

The S-Body Macro IS the smallest Mod that I have in my "Home Rotation"...

At home...I want a precision Mod and a perfect vaping experience...

But my "Out & About Rotation" only has eGo AIOs and Gobys…(the Mod WITH the Tank)...

When I've left my home...I want something small/light enough that I can stick 2 in a pocket...get a satisfying vape that replaces an analog...and is inexpensive enough that if I lose it I won't care...

Hello all Itty Bitty folks, just stopped in to ask for a moment of silence.
My first ever pre-order Eleaf (blue) 20W has finally passed on.
It lived a good life in the hand of my Mother and tenderly was cared for.
Almost 4 yrs old, its (pink) sister is still hanging in there, being used everyday.
:toast:

Light as a feather, Brew! 2.2 ounces, with the tank!

Been looking at the same thing myself ;)

Here's my addition to your list:

Vaporesso Target Mini 40W 1400mAh TC VW APV Mod
Dimensions | metric
DEPTH 24.2 mm
HEIGHT 57 mm
WIDTH 36 mm
PRODUCT WEIGHT 97 g

I also love the look of the Asmodus mini minikin 50w.
Here's the dimensions:

The red and white is OOS so Asmodus sold me their beta version at a reduced price and with the option to bring it back should it start to have iissues — so far so good. The bumble bee was a free gift. In addition I have the black and white one.

Hey, sorry for the delay Gerry- yes, I have thought about it, a little. But I'm pretty picky - my rotation consists only of my favorite mod at the moment. The doggy, right now, and has been since I got it.

I've been afraid if I get one of those, I wouldn't use the tank, so I'd need something that worked reasonably well with a doggy. I used to love my Nautilus 2, but tried it recently, and know I couldn't go back to that. How good a vape is that Goby with it's factory coil? I've just thought that anything with a drop in would have to be light years ahead of the bvc, but maybe some have come out that I ought to try?

Well Brew...your original post said: "I really want a very small, light pocket mod."...and I just suggested that, maybe, you should consider a very small, light pocket set-up...(ie. Mod plus Tank)…

Your suspicion is correct that the Goby coils are "light years ahead of the BVC"...

The Goby with its coils gives me a vape that rivals my current favorite "home" tank (the Zenith)…

(And remember...we're only talking about $25 to try one...about 2 days of ashes in my old ashtrays.)…

Good to know. Kind of considering, but.... I do use 100%VG diy, and recently switched to NET. I absolutely love it, but I'm realizing just how quick it gunks coils, and I'd already been replacing pretty frequently. Can't imagine how many drop ins I'd have to go thru. I see the Jem coils are cheaper than I paid for BVCs, though. Good info, and that thing does look barely bigger than a Juul. I won't cross it off my list just yet.

Pulled the trigger on the Nugget X. It's just so small & light for 2000mAh. Hoping I like it.
Doesn't mean I won't try the Gobi next. Doesn't look like there is, but nothing prevents using a 22mm tank on it, does there? Unless you're OCD about overhang, I mean? ;)

What Tank are you planning to use on it...(or did you get the "Kit")???

..
Been incredibly loyal to my doggies for quite a while now. Not even considering another tank now that I've given up on the Dvarw. Just ordered a couple more doggies - one of them SMJY this time. So......
Kat just showed me what I wanted to see! Knowing you're a doggy lover, I had a feeling you'd show me this. But I am surprised now nekked it looks, coming from you- only the twisty DT for bling!:)

NICE picture Kat...but it looks a little unwieldy for Out & About...

Guys! Ergo the "Ummm". I don't use this set up, nor would I. Helix glass tip or not. :facepalm:
