Looking for opinions on box mods

[RhynoRock]

I'm probably going to be stepping up the game a bit. I'm currently using a Kbox mini under either a Herakles or Cthulhu V2 dual coil. The eleaf 100watt istick caught my eye. $40 and 100 watts looked like a pretty great value. And with the performance I got out of the iJust2, I just MIGHT go this route, but I'd like to see if anyone has any better suggestions.

I'd rather avoid temp control/nickel/titanium stuff and stick with standard kanthal as far as builds go, but the 100 watt range is what I'm after, and under...say...$80, MAYBE push it to $100.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Forgot to mention one other characteristic I'm after, a removable battery.

Thanks in advance!

I'm vaping my iStick 100 right now. Love it. Especially with the LG HG2 batteries. It's been working flawlessly for a couple of months now.

For 100 you can get a cube 2 160, I just didn't care for it and went with a m80 plus.

If you don't think you would ever use a mod that offers a temp control option, the iStick 100 watt (using LG HE2 3000mAh 18650 cell) is hard to beat.

I like Sigelei for their reliablility, but after having a look at the specs on the 100watt iStick I suggest you stick with that unless you doubt eLeaf's quality. It offers 10V max output vs the Sigelei 100 watt plus at 8.5v max so you'll be able to access the full 100 watts with higher resistance builds. Both handle 0.15 ohms minimum and take 18650 batteries, so there is no advantage to either there. The iStick is also less money as far as I can tell after a quick look around.

It's starting to look that way, with the iStick. Been buzzing around all night and haven't found anything to beat it, power vs. price wise anyway.

Cube 2 has a dodgey battery cover which rattles and comes off easy. People have fixed it by using sticky foam pads, but wouldn't really want to buy a mod to then have to modify it for it to work properly.
Personally, I don't like that the firing button is the whole of one side and for me the LEDs would be redundant as I'd have them turned off.

I ended up going for the Sigelei 150w TC. I don't use the temperature control, but compared to the standard 150w, it looks a lot better and has almost like a rubberised black finish, with curves. An I guess if I ever decide to use the temp control in the future it's there. A lot of box mods, are too well, boxy for my liking. The sigelei 150 tc, has a lot more curves and little details which make it appealing. Though more personal preference.

Not sure what the price for the sigelei would be in the US, but if it's within your budget, i'd go for either that or the istick 100w.

Update: it appears it's around $65-$75

If you have the money which most ex smokers do now, I would say skip the cheaper stuff and get something like an SX Mini or Whiteout Cloudmaker SX.

I have always been a mech mod person, But wanting to have options i bought a unregulated box mod thought it was great then moved to a ipv3 thought it was better. I just got a hex ohm v1.2 and cant put it down the best box mod i have owned barely touch my mech mods now.

I just found an iStick on e-cig.com for $33, yeah I'm pullin the trigger.

I have the istick 100 watt... its not bad at all. I prefer the Smok m-80 plus... tiny, great battery and 80 watts I hardly ever use.

Well right now, the highest output device I have is a Kbox mini @ 50 watts, seems it's barely pushing my Herakles. Plus it has a delayed reaction when I hit the button, which is mildly annoying.
