That's a nice little beauty!

I kept away from built in battery mods, thinking about the long haul ahead. That was until a bought one small vaporesso built in on sale, the Tarot Baby. vaporesso makes a number of great little built in devices and I bought a couple to use over the next few years. Small, full of features and convenient, worth the angst of knowing one day they will die.
You can replace the battery in these battery built in devices... Just have to find one similar that will fit.

    Altho this one is nice, I've had best luck with the istick brand. My current favorite is the i80 which has a 3000 mah and usb-c. Charges very fast!

    Smallest, lightest lipo I just got. So light when I removed from box I thought that I ordered an 18650 mod lol. Nice.

    Definitely a very small and nice looking mod. Now I'm wondering how does it perform ? I heard and from reviews on YT that its not giving constantly output. Any issues like power not running constantly when pulling longer drags ?

    Be well.

    I have an s80 i really like that I won on here from vapesourcing. Really small and well made. If the battery dies, it looks easy to change, but I may have trouble finding a 20500 battery.:)

    Great, thank you for the info.

    And here is the tiny IJoy Diamond VPC + Drop Rda. It works really good power wise, only the battery is an issue. Kinda not holding up my usage @22w and around 180 puffs.

    Starting around 5.0, he shows it with cover already removed. I do remember you have to have a torx screwdriver to take the cover off.

    That's because the Ijoy 20350 battery in that mod performs no better than the better 18350 batteries out there. Only differences is you might get a few puffs more out of it over the 18350 batts.

    But don't go over that 22W you are using. That battery is highly overrated by Ijoy. It's not a 25A battery.

    inside of it really looks easy to replace.

    You won't likely find that 20350 batt and if you do it will be the Ijoy branded 20350 and won't be cheap considering that it's really just an 18350 in a larger body.

    Good news is, since it's the same length as an 18350, only fatter, you should be able to replace it with an 18350 and shim the sides of it in with some adhesive-backed foam rubber inside the sled (aka battery holder).

    Best 18350 batts on the market is the YDL 18350D cell or any rewrap that uses it, like these - Keepower, Vapcell or Epoch.

    Wanted to add that the battery lasts a long time but the one, big fault on the ijoy is that the battery comes loose if you knock it over. Just have to open it and fix battery. I have had them not fire on arrival because they probably got knocked around in transport.
