Hey Guys and Gals, I'm looking for a backup/upgrade toy to play around with. Currently I have a SB that I enjoy, but looking for something a bit more streamlined once a tank/cart is on top. I like the look of the Zenesis mini, and the way the tank seems built in as one solid unit appeals to me (+rebuildable atty is awesome). I would just buy one of these, but they are always out of stock, and sold out instantly upon restock. Variable voltage isn't needed at all, but if it happens to be I won't mind. Preferably this PV would have the battery capacity to get through at least one day vaping 3ml. Currently a 18650 lasts 2 days for me if that is any gauge of my consumption.

-Don't want a Provari, Lavatube, or any other PV that just gets a tank/cart threaded on top. An E-go with a cone is coming close, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Price isn't much of a concern.

Also if someone was extremely good at machining, the top (connector) end of the SB could be threaded to accept an e-go'esqe cone that covers the tank cleanly. Made to match the color of a chrome SB, that would pretty much be what I want.

I realize I'm shooting in the dark here seeking a perfect PV (for me), but maybe I missed something in my search. Any suggestions along these lines? Thanks in advance

How about Bolt? There's a sale (check the Deals & Steals thread on PIF) for it.

Pbusardo reviewed it on YouTube and he showed Bolt + Tank which had 'streamlined' look.

Thanks for the response, although the Bolt seems to be exactly the same thing as the SB as far as form goes. I guess I was a bit vague in what I am wanting. Needs to be integrated or somehow protected in that the cart/tank can't be broken off if dropped. Some have the tank built into the center (Zen~), some have cones (E-gos etc), some are a case-like box mod etc. Doesn't need to be a tube mod, but it does need to be sturdy and reliable. Heck even a Gripper would work if it would accept a tank and not just a cart, and have the connector be cleanable and all made out of stainless or something. Something along those lines.

It's a Line by Van (small Genesis form factor) sunk into a Grip by Brad. Getting ahold of a Line is a bit of a challenge, though you may find one in the classies here and there. The Grip is custom made from sweetvapes. I got to handle some of Brad's work at VapeFest and they are gorgeous, functional and the feel is top notch as is the workmanship.

I have 2 Lines (one with sight window one without) and rarely use either 1 now that I have a Zenesis. I might be willing to part with one of them if that setup is what you really want and you can't find one elsewhere.

I personally use an eGo with a Smoktech mega dual coil carto because it's the only thing I have that can take the abuse of my job. I drop the thing at least 5 times a day from as high as 8 feet and they keep on ticking. And the DCCs sit lower than the connector so it is sleek and smooth.

    I was kinda in the same boat, but wanted something a bit smaller than my SB to play around with. So I got this (only from electronicstix)
    Mako Midi V3 - Moju Republic
    And also got a Maksi tube for 14650 bats. ($20 for the tube)

    The Vision ego (Stardust) fits it like a glove, and an Empire drip shield fits without needing an adaptor.

    Have you looked at reosmods.com ? He has some minis in stock now.

    Too unprotected for what I'm looking for, thanks for the suggestion though!

    Thanks for the offer, but since these simply screw on top they are too prone to breaking off and all the similarities of a cart or a tank, just that it's a rebuildable (looks like a good device, and I may look further into them).

    Well, there's the ego/kgo for slender - just get the flared tank cone to streamline it. Or you can't go wrong with an inexpensive box mod. MadVapes sells really sturdy ones. You can get 'em in 3.7v, 5v, or VV. A fat tank will stick out over the sides, but the 3-ish ml tanks aren't too excessive.

    I wasn't aware that they made a tank cone for E-gos, I'll have to take a look at 'em. Thanks!

    Again this is too 'unintegrated', thanks for the post and picture!


    Thanks everyone who has posted. I think what I'm looking for is a Zen~ something or other (although 1 notification failed and missed out on the Ti Mini *cry*...may have to settle for a SS if those aren't bought up as soon as they are up), a ggts, or Katana. Yeah all those are rebuildable, but it's the 1 solid device aspect that is appealing. Cheers
