Cloupor Mini, 5+ years
Wismec Pressa 75TC, 5+ years.
Ola X Hero 30, 5+ years.

Never owned a smok.

 

[Bigbob2322]

Had no luck with Kanga and smok
So then I've moved on the Asmodus and it's been working great, but then it's only been a few months.
This by no means is bashing them maybe I'm to ruff on them and here in AZ the heat is brutle!!!

I have mods that are 4 yrs old and still work like day 1, but never had good results from the 2 you mentioned and some have been badly beaten like my 4 year old I stick 30 that I still use every day.

 

[DPLongo22]

Provaris 6+ years.
EPMs 5+ years.
Billet Boxes 3-5 years.
XvoSticks 3 years.

Those are my long runners so far. The first two are no longer available but Billet Boxes are. XvoSticks, who knows. The manufacturer is not what anyone would describe as predictable.

Those are just what's in my arsenal. I know of other folks that have MUCH more than me, and also with long running mods.

Point is, good mods are out there. 1 year isn't a great return, IMO.

Ola X Hero 30, 5+ years.

OH YEAH!!!

Has it really been that long. Wow...

Time. It flies.

Thanks, these are GREAT recommendations for myself and @DeloresRose
That iStick is really a workhorse! I guess it's been my choices where I'm in need of changes!
There are good ones out there that last a long time. I'm going to be checking them out Thanks

Ok, wanted to give an update on the Yosta Livepor 60w. Unfortunately they haven't stood the test of time

1 has quit showing the wattage changes when adjusting and simply shows zero all the time.
1 is firing at high wattage no matter the adjustment.
1 is still in the box LOL.

My advice is skip these lemons. Love the look and hand feel but can't recommend them now.

Damm. They WERE kute, Tex.

Sorry to hear of the demise(s).

Normally, I wouldn't put a "love" on a beater mod, but in your case, Big Bob, oh yeah!!! (I still use and love mine as well.)

@jdy - just going back about 4 years, I can say without a doubt that allllllll these are still working kwite well.

Need a little help, here. I've got several mods, and my current favorite is the S-Body Macro, mostly due to size (DNA is just a bonus). 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. I guess if it checks all the other boxes, I wouldn't mind my atty hanging over, but would prefer it doesn't. Currently using 22mm Doggystyle.

Here's what I have so far - any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. So far, it seems Pebble wins most categories for me. Nugget X is high mAh for size, but capactity isn't as important to me as size/weight. Demon Killer is tiny, but that's all it has going for it.

As far as I can tell, the lightest, plastic mods are not tiny. I've been waiting for both to come together in one device, as well.

OMG, a clone!!

My husband built one for me, it's somewhere. Brings back such great memories. I'd kill for one with a DNA...

Anybody on the Tesla Wye? I've heard some people having issues with the board. I've seen one for 38 bucks...

TESLA WYE 200W Mod for E Cigarette - $38.07 Free Shipping|GearBest.com

 

[Susaz]

Yeah, the Pico is about as small as replacebles get. Several others get close, e.g. the Evic Primo Mini, and may have a more comfortable hand feel for her.

The Minikin 2 is comparably smaller for a 2 battery mod

 

[Bigbob2322]

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.

I'm kinda fond of my Tesla Stealth. It's a small side by side that fits a 22mm atty. The side by side part makes it great for pocket. Weight is in range of the ones you've mentioned.

The Goby has been touted on this thread. It is tiny and lighter weight and though not fully regulated has a few power settings.

I gotta mention pods. Lots of them coming out these days that are not closed systems and I've been pleasantly surprised with some. I don't care for the "pen style", but I've become fond of Suorin's offerings. Though not for long term use, I can't help but love that I have a "mod" that easily fits in my change purse.

(P.S. -- I've been extremely happy with my CB-60. Yeah, enough so that I bought a back up.
Other news -- I suggest waiting a bit as what looks to be a new Coolfire mini is in production with "Platform series" to come in kit with 22mm zenith. I expect we'll see in a few weeks. It will certainly fit the small to tiny mod parameters and many have found the Zenith quite nice for drop in coil atty.

For what it’s worth, I had a coolfire pebble and loved it dearly. I treated it with kid gloves, and it only lasted 6 months due to the charging port breaking. I was considering getting another one, but don’t imagine I could have been MORE careful than I was with the first one.

Switched to a pico, and haven’t looked back.

Just my 22 cents. Go for the Gobe.
