So have been vaping for a couple of months, and I have an Ijoy Captain with a Tobeco 25mm Super tank and a Valyrian (yeah, I fell for the hype). I also have a 22mm Super tank mini incoming.

Am looking to get a second mod, but was thinking of something more portable than a Captain. I looked into regulated tube mods, there are very few models I like, and dont want to go mech.

Typically, I vape the Super tank at 29 watts with a 0.5 ohm coil, and the Valyrian at 57 watts. I dont like it any higher.

I had thought about 3 mods, and with Black Friday approaching, its a good time to buy: Sinuous P80, Vaporesso Swag or just get the Vaporesso Revenger and forget about portability. You can see portability and weight matter...

I have 4 20700 batteries on rotation for the Captain, and have just purchased 4 Sony VTC6 flat tops as a backup.

Am looking for something nice looking and practical, regulated and decently priced.

Any thoughts on my choices, and any suggestions apart from those? Single battery mods would be preferred.

Cheers!

The Vaporesso Revenger is a good mod, and fairly compact. The Eleaf Invoke is about as small as a dual-18650 mod can get, not much bigger than many single-18650 mods. I haven't tried one yet, but reviews are fairly positive. If you're running the Valyrian at 57w you'll want a dual-battery mod to have reasonable battery life.

I haven't tried the Swag yet, but I just ordered two (one on Black Friday and another on Cyber Monday) to replace my iStick Picos. I don't generally use tanks over 22mm in size, so the 22-23mm tank size limitation is not a big deal to me. There is also the IJOY Capo 100 that uses a single 21700 battery, but it is substantially heavier than the Vaporesso Swag. The Capo 100 looks very much like the Smok AL85 (but hopefully works more reliably), and it can take tanks up to 25mm in size - which is certainly a plus.

The Vaporesso Swag is very lightweight, weighing 64 grams without a tank or battery, compared to the iStick Pico (already very light) which weighs 82 grams without a tank or battery. That's a 22% difference. I much prefer as light a setup as I can get away with, and still have the performance I want, so that's why I got the Swag, which also reportedly has a pretty good chip set in it - unlike the iStick Pico, which just wasn't all that great at SS TC for me.

I also think the Swag mod looks pretty nice, but that was a secondary consideration for me. I would prefer that it at least took 24mm tanks though.
