This is my first actual review so I am just gonna wing it, please be easy on me. So, if you are on this forum for more than 5 minutes then you have probably seen Parallex2 on this forum, he has a pretty large presence on this forum, especially the modders forum. That being said, a while back I was scrolling through the modders forum and came across Parallex2's mini movie mod. I have an infatuation with mini things and I decided that I had to have one. After bugging Para for a while he finally gave in and let me trade some malty toffee for one. I will get to the device now.
SIZE
The mini movie mod got its namesake because it is a great stealth device for taking to the movies. It is very small, it measures without atomizer connected, 44mm long, 26mm wide, and 18mm deep . What helps in keeping this thing small is that the connector is built inside the box so a standard atty with a shorty drip tip only adds 23mm to the overall length. With these dimensions, you can easily wrap your fingers all the way around it so you see nothing. Great stealth device.
Function
This thing works like a box mod works, it uses a 350mah 14250 battery which is not a large battery but will get most people through the average length movie and is also better than a standard e cig battery. I like the switch on this thing as well, it is that very small metal tact switch that you see in some other mods, it almost looks like a little ball bearing. I have been using this off and on for a few weeks and it has fired for me every time except one time I had to roll the battery a bit to make better contact. It also has and on off switch in case you put it in your pocket.
Fit and Finish
Para gave me a choice of colors for the box, I cant remember what the name of the color was that I picked but it is kinda hard to describe, it is brown but coppery at the same time and it is slightly textured and also has a shimmer to it. It looks like it was professionally painted and the pictures literally do not do it justice. I think Para used a modified single AA battery box to make this, he somehow cut out a section of it and glued the pieces back together to make it half the size. I honestly would not have known that unless he told me because you can not find a seam. He must have a really straight, straight edge lol. The door comes off pretty easily and everything inside looks pretty professional as well. It is a tight squeeze in there though so you need to do things a certain way so everything fits properly.
Things I might Change
There are a couple things that I would change if I could. One thing is that the atomizer connector is not sealed so dripping did not go to well for me, I can actually probably seal that up myself with a touch of solder. The next thing I would change is really just being nitpicky but if there was anyway to put the switch on the top next to where the atty comes out I think it would be a little more comfortable to use in the palm of your hand. I realize that there is not room for that with the current layout but that is just a thought I had. The last thing is also not a big deal but since this is a covert vaping device it would be nice if the switch was not clicky. I like the feel and sound of the clicky switch but I tend to pulse the button when I vape so that click would draw attention when clicking repeatadly.
Conclusion
I really do like this thing, while it is not a device that I would carry with me everyday, it is perfect for those times that you need to be discreet. This mod is not for sale but I still wanted to share it with everyone. I would also like to thank Parallex2 for the pride he puts into his work,it really does show. Here are some pics....
