Looking for something different

[mattdarat]

Hey guys I just joined but celebrating my one year analog free anniversary. I have been into mech mods and rdas. My current is copper overdose by mcv and mutation x v2. I just bought a kayfun v4 to replace my 3.1. Loved the 3.1 but it was a pain to fill and rewick. The v4 however is great. Only problem is I was dumb and bought a dna 30 mod from my freedoms smokes which turned out to be a clone. This pi$$ed me off but I shoulda known better for $100. I am using the kayfun on that but want to go a little lower in resistance. Currently I have a 1.7ohm chimney build but want to go lower like maybe .5 - .8. Can anyone suggest a decent box mod preferably 18650 considering I have a bunch of batteries, that can handle it and maybe take it up higher than my mech mod would. Thanks in advance.

How much you looking to spend?

It depends if it's a great mod I'll spend what it takes for genuine and good quality.

Sigelei 100w + is one of the best in terms of quality chip and build and a great bang/buck value:

Sigelei 100 Watt PLUS

It's $90 and "jan15" will get you 15% off of that price.

Eciggity has the 50w but I'm guessing the 100w is what you want if you're used to running sub ohms on a mech. IPV has some similar offerings but the sigeleis seem to be getting better reviews.

As I'm posting this, I'm wondering why I'm not buying one?

You could get a vapor flask, a DNA 40 watt - a hexohm v2 from cravingvapor.com - you could check out dogmods - or if you wanted something good for less, the sigelei 100 watt plus or 150 - the ipv3 from pioneer4u.

Are the batteries on that in series or parallel. Stacking would make it more unstable. Other than that I think that might be the way to go.

The sigelei 100w plus batteries are in series.

That's not good in my opinion. Although it's not charging them is it really that much riskier? Should I just stay higher ohm .8 to 1.2 and get something lower wattage?

Using batteries in series is not bad, as long as you follow a couple of simple rules: Marry them, always charge them in parallel (NOT in the mod!) and don't discharge them below where they should be. (And, of course, basic battery prudence, such as look at them before and after you put them in the charger, make sure the shrink-wrap is ok, and no distortions or staining)

I was hoping not to buy new batteries but I will if needed. If the mod tells me battery low is that two low

What does everyone think of the cloupor mini with the kayfun v4
