New batteries, mod, or both?

Alot of quads for the size look very comfortable in the hand still an they seem to be packing high wattages in quite compact devices now too!

That I do understand but the RX200 is quite comfortable and it's my daily use mod

Trust me. Were it not for my old, arthritic, numb, and tremor hands, I would be all over a bigger mod.

Which one are you currently using an Sorry to hear it, i have arthiritus in my legs its horrible.

First thing in the morning is an IPV D2 until I can get the blood flowing. During the day, depending on which tank/flavor I want (and how my hands/tremors are working), I pick from:
IPV 400
Sig 213
Fuchai 213
Alien
Sig 100+
Lavabox
G-Priv

The Lavabox for a couple TC set-ups and the 100+ for drippers. The Alien and G-Priv work so darn well with the Beast tanks that nothing else has been on either yet. Although the G-Priv is a bit large for me, the fire bar and touch screen make it very usable and hard to put down. And the Alien works very nice on tougher days. The rest are very nice size and fit and work well with a number of other tanks and RTA's.

Of those mods, I think there was only 1 that I bought without holding it first. Yeah, limits my options/choices, but something I find necessary. Can't wait to get my hands on the G320 Marshall and see how that fits.

Ive been eyeing the fuchai 213 for a while an have the alien in my sites too, youve got some decent mods there i got the g priv yesterday an whilst i love smok im not sure on the g320.

My choice for 300w gonna be the rx300 but imagine its too heavy for you, seeing as the g priv is (which is damn hard to put down Btw)

See if a local shop has some mods you can check out and see what's comfortable for you. For battery life though it seems like you will want at least 3 18650 batteries

Yeah i cant think of any off hand, i cant wait too own my rx200s though. Will be my first three battery but i still want a alien. Theres always choice when Im buying a mod

 

[Falco78]

Only other option in a 2 battery mod would be some 30Q's or HG2's

I really like the looks and feel of the 213, but not good for TC if that is your thing. I've seen the Fuchai 213 Plus advertised, but don't know what improvements, if any, were done with the Plus.

As for weight, that is not as much of the problem as the fit. But would plan on a 3 battery mod being more of a home at my computer mod.

I checked out the G-Priv at my shop, but then bought it on-line since the price was sooooo much cheaper. Spent about $20 less for the mod kit and 5 coils then just the mod from them. Thankfully, they understand when they can't compete, but then again, I do pay their price when close enough and have spent a small fortune there.

Unfortunately, they are a 2 hour each way drive, so only get there every month or two. While the additional battery life would be nice, not a big problem since I always carry an extra mod and some tanks along. Yes, I carry a murse when making the journey.

Ah bit of a bummer, theres two shops near me just five minutes away an if you think you want a three battery check some out. There is some really Nice ones

The 2 closest to me are 25 miles away, been there a couple times, not muchinto helping. Neither have the latest gear and seem to be just hanging on before the inevitable. That's why I drive right by them on my 100 mile trek to my store. But trust me, that trip includes some other activities.

Haha awesome

I know I'm not @OlderNDirt ( ), I'm only 27, but I believe I have arthritis in my index finger on my right hand. Never been actually diagnosed but my finger always aches horribly when the weather gets bad and/or when the temp changes dramatically, and sometimes for seemingly no reason at all. On days like today, its great to have the alien. Its fire bar is awesome.

 

[Skold]

Great mod isnt it?? I cant wait to get one, 3 of my smok mods have the fire bar an i love that feature

 

[HemiHonda]

Im loving my g priv so far

Me too.

I've only purchased my batteries from RTD vape and have felt comfortable with them
I will probably never exceed the limits of the HG2s in my G-Priv, but I'm going to purchase some 25As.


Or just tap in directly through the lighter????



I've used the HG2's exclusively with my 200w mods and, yes, "cheated" over 120w on occasion. Whether it helps or not, I only do that with fully charged batteries.

At the cost of a couple Sony VTC5A 25A 2500mah batteries, I think I am gonna get a pair for my G-Priv. Between that and the Lavabox, I think I will be good to go for my occasional high power vaping.

First there was tennis elbow. Now is there vapers finger?

Love the Smok firebars! With numbness as well, can't count the number of times I thought I hit the fire button on other mods only to come up with nothing on the draw.

When I first got my hands/wrists checked out at Mayo Clinic back in the early 80's, the doc asked if I knew I had broken bones in every finger of both hands. That's when I got out of the auto body industry.

If I were looking to start going around 120W, I'd go with a 3 battery mod. First, it's a reasonable load for 3 batteries, and two, you'll have decent battery life. Going with 2 30A batteries mean you're stuck with 1500 mAh max, so if you do vape through the day at higher wattage, be prepared to keep swapping out batteries for fresh ones. Is it safe to vape at 120W on an Alien? Yes, even with 20A batteries. Can it really do 220W with 2 batteries for more than a second? No.

Edit: Just noticed, you have a Lavabox 200. That's fine for high wattage use as well.

At 120w on the Alien the cdr of 20 amp batteries is exceeded though (about 23 amps per battery, assuming a 90% mod efficiency). The Alien has a lower cutoff than most other mods.
