Looking for the right mod

[Cykodelik]

Hi all, I've been burned by a bunch of local sellers in my area and I'm stuck with a whole bag full of Nautilus X tanks and coils.

I'm looking for a cheap mod on ebay that uses the 510 thread, has removable rechargeable batteries, has a lanyard so I don't lose the thing and is preferably cheap.

Can anyone help me out!

Thanks all

Hi and welcome,
How long did you smoke and how many per day?
How are you "burned" by local sellers?
What is your budget?
What battery device had you been using?
Where are you located?
Do you have external batteries and a charger?

Cheers
I

Do you need a whole lanyard or just a lanyard hole to put a lanyard onto?

Another option is going high tech. I was gluing “tile“ chips onto my mods for a while
Find Your Keys, Wallet & Phone with Tile’s App and Bluetooth Tracker Device | Tile

I understand there are several other competing systems now.

Welcome to the forum. You can just as easily get burned in ebay.

hello and welcome to ecf
a few more questions
are you looking for vv/vw (variable voltage/wattage)
are you looking for internal or external batteries (internal are nice because they tend to be smaller, but once the battery is dead the mod is useless, whereas with external, just get new batteries)
do you want tc (temp control) you don't have to use it but it is an option and they tend to have firmware upgrades
do you want something more pen/cylinder style or box style?
Are you wanting something small and discrete, or something a bit bigger (single battery, dual battery, triple battery)
what is the most you'd be willing to spend
are you just wanting a mod or also an atty (do you want a tank or dripper and are you looking for more of a mtl (mouth to lung) or dl (direct lung) )

ebay while sometimes cheap isn't really always reliable, and especially because vape items aren't allowed per their TOS, so buy at your own risk.... there are many other places that are cheap but be prepared to wait a month on delivery (fasttech (is awesome just to browse as well, they have lots and lots of stuff), aliexpress, 3fvape, 3avape, everzon, eightvape (be careful though their customer service sucks, great prices but if it's doa they usually don't care) )

Why would you want to purchase a mod from EBay?

Welcome and glad you joined.

Yup, definitely

are you looking for internal or external batteries (internal are nice because they tend to be smaller, but once the battery is dead the mod is useless, whereas with external, just get new batteries)

External, regarding size and stuff I liked the Istick Pico with the Nautilus X tank and I vaped that at about 13 watts. I'm basically looking for something like that, maybe a bit bigger and with a lanyard.

Also I vape MTL

regarding buying on ebay I actually just mean online

I vape now but I used to smoke about 40 a day, I vape 20mg VG
Basically I paid double the price and still the customer service was terrible
I'm looking to spend about 50 euros max
I've used many but recently I was using the istick pico and various aspire mods
somewhere near Spain
I have one external battery, plenty of tanks and my house is littered with USB cables

eBay is rather famous for being one of the two worst possible places to get vaping gear that exist. The other being Amazon. The problem is counterfitting.
Reasons:
1) It is against company rules to sell most things vape related there. The result is that anyone doing so is shady to begin with, and any corporate protections you would normally expect in either place do not apply.
2) both places are one of the simplest ways for shenzai Chinese counterfeit goods producers to enter lucrative western markets.

The result of these two together is that most of the vaping goods on either site are fakes. Not all of them, but the vast majority. Batteries that are actually empty tubes filled with sand is a specialty as are devices so poorly made as to be actively dangerous.

If you don’t trust local brick and mortar stores, I would suggest just about any other online retailer before those two.

How about we chase this chicken from the other direction:
What devices do you now have do you think are bad and why? This may help figure out what kind of device you DO want, and maybe we can help you find a good one.

All over this forum, you’ll find links to reputable vape sites. I know though, that until someone points them out, we’re not aware of them, and since we are all familiar with eBay, that’s the first place we tend to think of.

Some of the ones I buy from are: eight vape, vapor range, my freedom smokes, fasttech, direct vapor, and Element vape ( have had some goofed up orders from them, but they set it straight and their prices are good)

Why not browse a bit, decide what size, style, and features you’re looking for, and then ask which mods will best suit you?

Welcome to te friendly bunch

To be honest there are loads of options out there....here's a link to Fasttech in China...they're trustworthy but shipping can take a week or so if you have the free.

FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics

To be honest the pico is a good mod....they do the squeeze also so you cab squonk on an RDA too. There is also a chip compatible firmware for them called arctic fox which has great TC.

Have a browse and see what you like

What is wrong with the NautalisX? Pretty decent MTL tank in my opinion. The cartridges are a little hit-and-miss. It is a 510 connection so all you need is a small mod and some 50/50 juice and your good-to-go.

External battery devices are larger and don't usually have lanyards. (Who wants 100 - 200 grams of anything slamming around their chest when they walk?)

What would work with a lanyard would be pod type of devices, but I don't know how many come with a lanyard.

I don't exactly know what to advise, since I'm unclear what was wrong (i.e. what didn't you like about) with what you were using.. ?

The Pico is a very popular external battery mod but your not saying what you don't like about it and why your wanting to replace it.

So I'll just say FastTech ships worldwide, and has excellent prices.. they are slower shipping because of their location, but they do ship and have authentic products.

Huh I just sold an old mod and tank on eBay and had no idea.

 

[Mordacai]

Hello Cykodelik, only thing that I can think of is a Smoant Battlestar Mini and then make some sort of attachment so that you can use a lanyard. As they're cheap, simple and decent.

All of these come without batteries, where would you find those?

I personally like the lanyard because it means I can let's say drive and use one hand to vape immediately instead of having to reach for it in my pocket each time or leave it on the dashboard where it can fall off. Makes sense no?
