KAT...WOW!!!
Now I no longer feel absurd looking through a "little itty bitty mods" list that has the MVP 20W on it.
THANX!!!
The Billet Box Clone
What do you think Kat?
I love this thread since it was helping me decide on my next mod, but I was impatient and ordered an Istick 50w from a co-op for $40 shipped. Later that day, I find the Cloupor mini for $30 shipped with coupon code "clouporminipc" from gearbest.com. So a bit buyers remorse on my part since I'm not one to collect mods and $30 for a cloupor mini is a steal, but I'm still happy with the istick on the way.
Has anyone actually tried the istick 50w? Thoughts?
I don't thing anyone has the 50w yet. Its due to be released this week. 25th, I believe. If you check youtube I'm sure there are a few reviewers that got early editions to show off.
I also got a Cloupor coming from gearbest. Can't wait for it to arrive. I did the preorder for the Beyang instead of the iStick. I hope I will be happy with it too.
I have one, but IMHO not "Little itty bitty", JMHO, but a nice box mod for Kartos none the less.
I bought the Billet Bridge for mine, you can use the Aspire BVC heads with it instead of cartos, pretty nice vape really.
THAT was the funniest thing I've read in a long time! Thanks for a good laugh, I really needed it.

*waving back* at Kween Kat! I've been thinking about picking up something like the iStick so I'm glad you all are making my research so easy! Seriously, great job!
Kat have you tried BluBerryBeach or Tropikeyta? I saw your reviews of a couple of others. I really like fruit flavors especially true fresh fruit flavors. Those may not be your cup of vape but just wondered?

I haven't seen the segeli mini 50 watt on the list. I'm trying to decide between it and the preorder of the is tick 50. Any ideas of which one is better?

Fruit3 is realy nice for fresh fruit flavor. Haven't had a chance to try the Tropiketya, Apricot Brandy or STRAberry Beach. The BLUberry Beach was blueberry with spice; while good, I ended up gravitating towards the Fruit3 more since the spice aspect didn't agree with me over time.
Thanks, Xaviour, and.......

You're going to haz sad, gerry. Sorry.![]()

Sigelei Mini 50wI haven't seen the segeli mini 50 watt on the list. I'm trying to decide between it and the preorder of the is tick 50. Any ideas of which one is better?
Your criteria are about exactly like mine. Keep us posted if you find something that meets these.The Sigelei Mini 50W v2 takes a single 18650 IMR high drain battery. What's not so great about that is that a 2500mAh IMR won't last very long at higher wattage vaping before needing to be recharged. What's great about it, though, is that with the swiveling battery cover, swapping out the battery is easy and takes only a minute. By contrast, the two non-replaceable 18650 LiPo batts in the iStick 50W must be recharged via USB, which can take up to five hours at 1 amp for a full recharge from empty. Even if the iStick 50W functions as a passthrough, I'm not a fan of being tethered to a cord and prefer a quick single-battery swap. Needing to swap out the battery more often is not a problem. I already own many LG HE2s and Samsung 25Rs that will be ready and waiting, fresh off the charger.
On the other hand, the size and ergonomics of the Sigelei don't thrill me. First off, with dimensions of 90mm x 44mm x 23mm, it's bigger than an MVP. That's not what I want. Also, it's a box. Yes, the edges are beveled a little, reducing the feeling of sharpness in the hand, but I much prefer the iStick's more ergonomic, rounded shape.
In balance---for me personally---the negatives of large size and box shape outweigh the convenience of swapping batteries, so the Sigelei Mini 50W gets crossed off my list of possibilities.
My criteria are:
None of the current crop of 50W boxes meets all my needs. I doubt that I'll have to wait too long before one shows up that does, however.
- small size, comfortable shape (no sharp edges or garish designs)
- easily- and quickly-swappable 18650 IMR (meaning no screws to remove on the battery cover)
- 510 connector with floating pin and good threads
- capable/accurate chip with ample protections (reverse-battery, short-circuit, over-temp, etc.)
- decent manufacturing specs and quality control (meaning that the unit feels solid and reliable)
- moderate price (under $70)
YMMV, of course.
I'd post the slow clap video again but can't go repeating the same (very funny) joke. The spreadsheet is becoming an excellent resource for folks Kat--and they said it couldn't be done(alright--no one said that)! Every time I find something itty, bitty I race back to put you to work and it's already there!![]()

But...the (new?) smaller/RotM/larger 85mm tall column is QUITE helpful!![]()
