Looking for the best "mini" mod on the market.

[wafflnator55]

Aright so i just want to get this out of the way. I'm not looking to get into crazy cloud chasing or anything like that. in fact, I'm more of a flavour guy hahah. I just want to maximize my battery life so that i use a small device as much as i want without it dying on me when i need it.

So basically, I have an iStick and I love it. I have my Aerotank Megas, and I love those. But I'm thinking of stepping up my game. I'm looking for a device like the iStick in size and portability. Versatility is key. I'm interested in all them crazy features, things like

-spring loaded 510
-respectable battery life
-removable battery, not a must but defiantly a plus
-passthrough charging
-high voltage for high ohm coils
-sub ohm, not a must
-small, like almost as small as possible
-durable, and reliable
-preferably not a tube mod, but ill look into anything

Yeah, so its a tall order, and I'm being super picky. I'm just saying what my perfect mod would be like. I've been looking into some of the new devices coming out and i know i can get something close to what i want. some ideas on devices that I've been looking at are:

-Yihi SX mini (almost perfect, id like to know more about this)
-VapourShark dna /rdna (not sure which i perfer)
-Cloupor mini (a little worried about Cloupor's reputation)
-IPV mini
-Beyany 30W (sounds good on paper, but still makes me nervous)
-hana modz (not sure which one, got to look into them more)

Anyway, those are just what I've been looking at, Any input on those or any other similar devices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!

SX Mini is amazing, but pricey at $190.
That'd be the top of my list, especially over a vaporshark, unless you specifically wanted the temp control in the dna40.
At a lower price, i just picked up a 50w SX Zero clone for $82 on focalecig, which is TINY for a 50w mod, probably the smallest available, at least that I know of, especially for using 18650s. Plus its just sexy.

 

[PaulBHC]

Higher ohms draws less amps, battery last longer.

 

[dravell]

This is the DNA30 Zero clone and not the 50w SX version, but theyre the same size.
Next to a Sigelei 100 for size comparison.
Just barely taller than a iStick, a bit wider and obviously thicker, but 50w!

 

[roxynoodle]

Yes, its the opposite: lower resistance requires more power and higher amp draw.

If you can afford it, the SX Mini. I suspect this is the best production mod to ever come out. I'm getting one myself.

For less money I would get the ipv mini or the SX Zero clone.

 

[dravell]

The SX Mini really is beautiful and built like any other euro or US quality mod. Its good stuff.
It is a bit bigger than the Zero, but its a quality authentic.
Hard to find though, varitube still has them I believe.
As for the SX Zero, ive been pimping it a it a lot to people lately lol, its just SO small for a 50w mod that uses 18650, and of the better looking mods on the market (IMO)

 

[wafflnator55]

okay so apparently i don't know what im talking about. so that changes thing quite abit hahaha well now im off to re think everything i know hahaha

so would that mean i should start building 3 ohm coils and just forget about sub ohm stuff? in that case id want a high voltage mod more then anything.

 

[v1k1ng1001]

The sigelei 50w mod V2 should be appearing soon. Worth looking into.

 

[mstephens0500]

What are is the mAH of the Hana Modz mini DNA 40? How does the mAH of a single VCT 4 used in an SX compare the the Hana mini DNA 40?

 

[CigmundFreud]

Smok xPro M50 mini has everything you're asking for... but it's a very new product, so I don't know how the quality is with it.

 

[Evi|grin]

Im enjoying my IPV Mini. The SX Mini was my first choice but i could not justify the price difference at this time.

Spring loaded 510
USB charging
Accepts both flat and button top 18650s...ive only tried flat tops so i cant verify this.
5-30watts is fine for the vast majority of my topper device choices.
PWM or DC to DC selectable
13amp max output
Vaped all day on a 1800mah battery with a 1.7ohm carto tank. It still had quite a bit left before i put it on the charger for the night.

Size is slightly smaller than a MVP but just as tall. Its also heavier than a MPV

Same reason I choose the IPV

Yes it does, I've tried with both. Button top is a little difficult to place the bottom cap on, but it does take both.

I am having high hopes for the cloupor, time will tell.
.

 

[crxess]

IPV mini......isn't. However after dissecting one of mine I am happy that it is a very well built device.
Cloupor is smaller however they have been steadily moving more and more toward Profit and less toward customer satisfaction.

The Cloupor Mini looks good, but it will be well used and reviewed by actual vapors before I consider purchasing.

 

[Cotay]

The Vaporshark DNA30 with the current 10% off coupon is hard to beat. ..the only downside is the internal battery life. I love mine and am waiting on an rDNA40, Cloupor Mini and an Xpro M50. The IPV Mini is just a tad to big to really be considered a mini.

 

[Evi|grin]

The Cloupor Mini looks good, but it will be well used and reviewed by actual vapors before I consider purchasing.

I hope they got it right. This would have been my choice over the IPV Mini but i want to read real world reviews first too. I did look at the DovPo DT-50 today. Quite interesting for a 50watt device if you dont mind a non removable battery.

Does the 50w sx zero clone have an authentic chip or clone chip?thanks

 

[dravell]

Thats a source of much dispute lol. Hotcig says real, yihi says no, hotcig showed yihi purchase receipts, hotcig hotly contends its authentic but they could be lying who really knows.

I'd add e-lvt2 to the list.

 

[IanDVaypes]

The zen zna has a nice form factor with a dna 30 chip.

To me the iPV is the same size as the MVP except along the button side which is about 1/8"-3/16" wider. I don't have large hands and it fits PERFECT.
