I like this list, but it's a bit misleading... The iStick TC40W and the KBox 70 use internal batteries...
Little itty bitty mods under $100.

I can remove and insert an 18650 battery into my KBox 120. I cannot do the same with my KBox 70. Likewise, I can remove the battery from my XvoStick, but not my iStick 40. I agree that the sizes are the same, but if someone were to read the list with the idea that the batteries could be easily replaced, they would be in for a rude shock. That was all I was saying... No offense intended...
I guess it's a personal preference, but other than an inexpensive vape pen, I would much rather have the option of a user replaceable battery. The same goes for other products, and for example I was quite disappointed when Samsung went to non-replaceable batteries on their Galaxy phones. We're a nation of consumers accepting disposable products, and have lost the sense of value in durable goods. It's not even just vaping or phones, but look at the quality of so many products that we just assume we'll have to replace after a few years of use. And having an otherwise well functioning mod become unusable just because it will no longer hold a charge just doesn't feel right for my investment.
I for one check to see if it's a replaceable battery on every mod I look at. I refuse to throw away any more because of the crappy factory battery.
I own 18 mods with internal batteries. I have 2 additional units that have died... Aside from the whole dying thing, I've had no problems. Of course, with the collection I have none of them gets used too much or for too long...

And I've read of one poster who bought two Mini Volt's and had them die in a two month period. Luck of the draw for sure, I get that! Just after throwing away cig-alikes and Ego's, I was done! I went to mechs and being able to drop it, pick it up and vape away was all it took me to sort that out. The fact I could change the battery during the day was a huge plus!
I still have the Alt Smoke BB that was my first mech, even have the passthrough for it! I don't give up on old mechs!
So using a ballpark figure of "good for 300 charges" (and let's face it, there's a lot of variability in that) with 18 mods to rotate through, you should be good for ~15 years. Sounds good to me.
I would love to have 18 mods. No idea where I could put them, but I'd sure like it.......

Me too.
lol... I have a spreadsheet inventory... 83 devices, 145 atomizers. And, yes, I have them broken down by category and sorted by wattage

Wait a sec. You're really Fasttech! So, like, where's that Kayfun clone I ordered from you anyway?

None taken! I understand why non-internal-batteried mods are more convenient. Its just that every mod ive owned that's been small has had internal batteries. iSitck 30, 40, and 50 which just so happen to be the smallest mods of their classes. (not the 30w anymore though). My charger and batteries have been in storage since. I DO have to swap between mods when my battery runs out which requires one to own two separate mods...which of course is a con. The con of non-internal batteried mods is the cost of buying a charger and batteries, but like most of us, we already own them.
Internal or not, ill buy whatever the tiniest mod is. I have batteries, charger, and multiple mods, so either way, it doesnt really affect me.
I don't think it qualifies as an "Itty Bitty" mod...but I was wondering about the Radius by Provape, and really am not familiar enough in ECF anymore to stray much past my comfort zone of my "watched threads". I was wondering something. If I happened to have a bit of a "windfall" coming up...would getting a Radius be a good idea? Does anyone have one, and is it as reliable and worthy of the songs of praise the regular Provari gets and such? I am a bit worried about the Vapocalypse (I guess most are), and only have 1 Provari 2.5, and 3 Heatvape Defenders in my arsenal of replaceable battery mods (excluding my old models mods and my mechs that go back to 2013). Would a Radius be a reasonably "safe" and good investment for the future? Thoughts?
Those who have them seem to love them, 4th. At your vape-style, I'm thinking it probably wouldn't be a bad thing. I like them (don't have one).
They're definitely a Provape product, quality wise.
It would be--if ProVape were to survive the deeming. Any regulated mod can experience problems with its electronic components--even ProVari. That's the weak link. And with ProVape out of the picture, our ProVaris won't be any more "safe" than any other mods. Only mechs are Vapocalyse proof. That's, of course, the worst case scenario. The fight is not over, so do your part--join CASAA, support them if you can, write to your representatives. You know the drill.
Other than that, it's your call. I only own a mini 2.5--I was very excited about the Radius, but when I saw it, I decided that it was not for me. For several reasons, including price.
Sorry I can't be more helpful--it's your call. I decided to get several different mods with replaceable batteries instead of one Radius. At least for now.
Good luck!
