This weeks Topic is batteries/mods:
Another battery/mod I'm highly interested in is the Kanger Subox Mini kit. From all of the reviews I've heard it's relatively solid all around even if the finish is a bit fragile. The tank that is included with the kit in my eyes is the real winner though because of just a couple of things. I really wanted to buy one of these kits but the fact that the subox doesn't have an adjustable 510 pin was a huge turnoff to me. Although aesthetically it makes sense, I don't want to have a battery/mod be exclusive to just one tank, to me that is silly in a market that evolves so quickly in terms of technology. The other thing that bothered me was the finish which I had stated, I've seen how the white ones can start to look pretty worn relatively quickly, especially if you take it around with you a lot instead of strict home use. Other than the slightly offset onboard charging port and the battery door having a big gap, it is an incredibly good mod. I'm just holding out for when they release an updated version with an adjustable pin and in hopefully more colors.

Thanks for the contest!

As far as batteries. I have Efast (red,purple, green), Panasonic, and MJXO. I still have all the IRC batteries that came with my first mods. Those are spares for my lower wattage devices. I have 18350,18500,18650, and 26650. Remember they recommend you don't do long term storage of your batteries at 100%. Battery University says 80-85% charge for storage.

I currently have an IPV mini 2, and I like absolutely everything about it, except one issue. The battery cap is made from a soft aluminum and strips very easily, the person who PIF to me dropped it once and the cap hasn't fit into the mod properly since. Despite extreme care, it's slowly stripping more and more each day, unfortunately the place that sells replacements is out of stock, not sure what I'm going to do! Other than that it is an incredibly solid device and it's a joy to vape on.

I have found that it's very beneficial to keep chargers and cables both at home and at the office. When a device runs low on power during the day while at work I can plug it in or swap the batteries and charging is in progress - beats having to wait until I get home to do it.

I've yet to try temperature control but the new Sigelei 150 watt with TC looks like a monster. I love the look of it, it has to be the best looking box mod on the market right now(I think they're just about to be available). Hopefully in the not too distant future I'll get to try something like it.
