Sitting down, facing forward.
I have been using this mod regularly for awhile now and it does have much of the same quirks that are mentioned in this thread. Overall though the device is dependable and rugged enough for my work device. I am pretty sure I have a v1 and if it bites the bullet sometime I will probably buy another just because I deal with paint, drywall, carpentry, and power washing and it is a mod I do not worry about being careful with at work.

Those are the same reasons I like mine, plus the very consistent vape. It is built like a tnk and I clean it by running it under the faucet. Just spent the afternoon, outside, cutting a tree down, cutting it up and cleaning the whole mess up. The Invader was with me the whole time. Yeah, I have other modes that I could have used, but I don't have to worry about the Invader, other than the tank. That top cap is the greatest, everything can be made solid with no problem. I'd love to convert a few of my other mods t that style cap/510 connector!

i didnt even know they did a green one?!?!
When I ordered the one I currently use I originally ordered it in green and then was forced to either cancel my order or choose another color as they were unable to deliver. I went with grey.

I purchased from Gear Best.

Thanks jks89, I've had my eye on that. Never ordered from them though. I have ordered from evape.us and they have this Electronic Cigarette - Best Electronic Cigarette - Vapor Cigarette Buy the Best Heatvape Invader Mini (V2) 50W Temp Control from www.evape.us with free ship. They both come within a buck or so shipped.
I'm starting to think this is a small v1 run. Probably not a big seller so they may have dropped it.

Them and myvaporstore are the ones I usually order from, partly just because they're the ones I have ordered from the most! Somewhere between brand loyalty and knowing what you're getting. When my iStick 50W kicked the bucket, even though it was after their stated warranty time (I think 30 days?) sweet vapes still replaced it.


Didn't realize that quote wouldn't catch the quote within it. There's another version of the dovpo that I believe is a clone of the Invader Mini. Pretty sure PBusardo has a review for it, I never really looked into it because I already had the IM by the time I heard about that one.

jks, sounds like sweet vapes goes beyond good cust serv. I have used evape with zero issues, However, I like to try other vendors also. sv seems like a safe bet, and they have many other goodies I like.

Anybody know how long v2 has been out? Will a v3 be coming soon(like the day after I make a purchase)? Wondering if I should wait a bit.

I'm still tempted to buy that davice for work since I'm working in a really dirty and dusty environment.

I still don't regret getting it, and I mainly just got it because it was the most affordable TC mod I found at the time. The durability was just an added bonus.

PB didn't review the dovpo as heat vape sent the invader mini to him and told him the dovpo was a ripoff of their design!

Well I like mine alot, just my screen sometimes get fubared. Sometimes screen goes black, but still fires. Getting the screen back on takes multiple times changing the battery out/in and back (also tried the stealth mode), but thats not it either.

I really like the design, but mine either has some serious flaws or it was a monday/friday morning model. Thinking about returning it, but sending it from Belgium back to china is going to cost me some $$, but I might get lucky with paypal returning, who knows. But only activated it 3-4 days ago :/

I agree with @awsum140 These are not the sort of glitches seen commonly with the V1s. Seems like something genuinely wrong with it. Hope you can get a replacement somehow!

Cool that this thread is still going 4 months later. I guess this thing, for all its faults, was really the first 'affordable' chiNA40 device that wasnt an obvious clone of a flask or whatever...I still use mine every day!!

Pretty much the only one I've used since I got it!
