If I'm not mistaken, I think the Ehpro 101 can use the 18350's in it's shorty config, and also 18650's in it's full size config.

:thumb:

I was thinking boxes :)

The innokin SVD2 can, as well. And, of course most any telescoping tube.

I just purchased some 18350 actually. They are 850mah and can putout 10A nowadays. Not bad for tiny batteries.

It is easy to convert any regulated mod into a mech mod. Although batteries doesn't last forever either. And I would guess your batteries will fail before your regulated mods will.

Why I only buy replaceable battery mods. Got enough paperweights :lol:

I stopped buying internal battery mods several years ago, but these istick 30s are so stealth friendly, especially with a Doggy, when one dies (or is lost :(), I just buy more! It's an addiction! And these isticks have lasted several years (hope I didn't just jinx myself).

I buy 4 to 8 new batteries every year for my external battery mods, but still using 2016 purchased batteries working fine. I rotate my batteries for as even usage as I can. :confused:

Adding votes for the EhPro 101 and the SVD2 - they're good. The 101 in 18650 mode is about as tall as the SVD2 with an 18350. They're both nice in the hand, but the 101 with an 18350 is Really Rather Dinky.

And yes to the iSticks - they're just nice to pick up and use.

Happy New Year & Best Wishes for 2019.

Wasn't it isticks that were catching on fire? I claim my MVP 2 has lasted over 4 years now (an internal battery mod). But it only had 2 recharges in its life too. So that explains a lot.

I've been buying 18650s for more than 4 years now and only in 2018 did they start needing to be replaced. There are some of my older 18650s that are still performing like new. Not abusing your batteries helps for sure, but the number of recharges also plays a very important factor.

For stealthy, I like my Hana One mods. They only weigh 39 grams and I can't believe they actually fit a 18650. They just look too tiny, but they do.

Put up with what?
USB port on the bottom, top plate overhang, if the board gets too hot the board may continue to fire (PBusardo video), fire button doesn't always fire, PWM on lower wattages, battery flops around inside, wiring inside too thin, shows lock when battery is low, etc.

As 2018 comes to an end, I want to thank the OP for another year of itty bitty goodness and friends. I don't get on ECF as often as I used to, but when I do I always look forward to visiting & catching up on this thread. Thanks to this thread I found lots of sweet people and my favorite itty bitty mod (Jac or Jackie ;)). It's like a warm homecoming whenever I log into ECF and find ittybittyland :wub: Thank you @Katdarling and itty bitty nation. I look forward to finding you all when I log into ECF in 2019. Happy New year to all.:wub:

Hugs & Blessings,
d


And a very Happy Newest Year to you, Delilah, and all the Eastern most Coasters in the group. We Westlies still have bout an hour til our balls drop.

:blink:

Deli, sweets, we also look forward to YOUR visits, as often or as not as you desire. It's a pleasure to have you as one of the OG itty bitties!!!!!! Thank you, sweetie.


If you just do wattage only no temp control the Wismec CB60 is a nice built in 2300 MaH battery mod that goes to 60 watts and fits the hand nicely.

Welp, Happy NYE to moi! Look what lil' itty bitty CB arrived tonite, just for the New Year!!!! And I am truly surprised. I LOVE this little guy!!!!! (Thank you Guy who littled me. ;) )

I still have and love iStick 30s. Lost one at a big dog show a few weeks ago (along with a Doggy!!!!:grr:), so had to buy another Doggy and 3 more iStick 30s...:eek::shock::eek::shock::eek:. They just work and are so stealth friendly.

More Sticks and Dogz!!!!!! You must! :lol:

I'm with you. I STILL (after all this time and after all these many mods) love my little Sticky 30s. Topped with a Dogger, they are simply the KAT'S meow!!!!!!



I love mine. Honestly, I don't remember how old it is, but it's still going strong. As a matter of fact, it's in my hand now, topped with my GS Air tank. :facepalm: :blush: :vapor:


Damm, you made me check my dates, girl.

iSticky 1 was born Mid Jan. of 2015, and still vapes like the day she was infantile.

iSticky 2 arrived just a mere year and 1/2 ago, and sprints like a millennial with free classes!

(oops)


I agree with you as I have 2 Istick 30's , 1 badly beaten as it's a work mod the other is in like new condition and both perform like day 1. The only flaw is the 510 is not spring loaded and I only used the well endowed Siren v1 on the work mod for so long that the 510 is so buried in that the Siren V1 is the only tank I can use on it. It still works great though.

WELLLLLLLLLLLL loved, that one!!!!!

Plus 2. I had two (now one) and really adored the spectacular minuscule size and weight of that one. In addition, they are/were UNscratchable!

If only they held up for more than a few weeks. ;)

They just doesn't seem like they are made to last long. But surprisingly my two are still chugging along very nicely. ;)

Grrr...... There used to be a simple and elegant solution to the sunken-pin woes--Madvapes' circuit board spacers. Cheap and brilliant. Alas, they don't sell them anymore... You could try to contact them and ask if they would be willing to restock.

ah yes, I've got some of those around. They were quite useful on Provi 2.5s with a beauty ring, when the rings thickness didn't allow a connection between the atty and the P's 510 pin.

I like iSticks, also. The iStick 40W is my favorite for pocket carry. I recently bought a new iStick 30W and it apparently has a LiPo battery instead of an 18650 inside judging from the weight. It also drops like a rock in charge once I pass the 50% point.
