Recommend a backup mod!

[Halcyon2501]

So I'm pretty happy with my current iTaste SVD, but I need a backup in case it fails. I've currently got a couple eGo-C Twist clones, but I want something with longer battery life and VW. Here's what I'm looking for:

• Prefer tube mod over box, but will consider box mods
• VW w/ Ohm meter
• Can use 18350 or 18650 batteries (preferably both button and flat versions)
• At least 15W capacity
• Reliable build quality
• Stainless finish
• KFL+ compatible (preferably the same diameter)
• Cheaper is better, hoping for something under $100
• Solid look - if it's one complaint I have about the SVD, it's that the telescoping battery tube is wider than the rest of the mod. It looks bad and tends to wiggle back and forth, even when screwed on tightly.

Recommendations appreciated!

I use the Volcano's Lava Tube for my backup incase the Provari goes down or needs service , grows legs and walks away etc..the lava tube is built like a tank and made to take a vape all day kinda scenario ...

ohmmeter; well that rules out nemesis with a kick.

I have a vamo and a sig zmax; I'd recommend the vamo. Check ohms anytime with one button without firing the coil.

the answer is obvious - vamo!

Like the others have said the Vamo is probably your best option. I just recently got an SVD, and so far I am loving it! I plan to get an MVP2 for my back-up, and since I really only go up to around 8 watts on my SVD the fact that the MVP only goes to 11 watts shouldn't be an issue for me.

Oh and if you don't like the Vamo you can always just get another SVD

Since it is for a back up device and you said that you would consider a Box Mod, I would recommend the MVP 2. It is my go to right now and I carry it everywhere. The battery is good for at least a day & a half, probably longer depending on the Voltage/Watts you have it set at.

It is not large at all and even smaller without the tank, plus you can use it as a backup battery for your phone.

I recommend the Sigelei Zmax V5. I have had mine for 8 months. Very good backup.

•Variable wattage - can be adjustable from 3.0W to 15.0W (in .5W increments)
•Variable voltage - can be adjustable from 3.0V to 6.0V (in .1V increments)
•0.6-inch screen shows (Output voltage, power, resistance, battery voltage, power on/off, LCD on/off)
•Short circuit protection
•4 Amperage output limit
•Low resistance protection (below 1.2ohms)
•Low voltage protection below
•RMS&Mean voltage settings
•The ability to charge a mobile telephone (via adapter)
•Removable top cap
•510 and eGo threading
•Can be powered by single 18350/18500/18650 battery
•Stainless steel

If you can live without the VW/VV and ohm meter, the Smok Magneto is a fantastic match for the Kayfun. The Nemesis ain't too shabby either.

Id'e have to say that based on your requirements the best backup for your SVD would be another SVD

 

[Bunnykiller]

why not another SVD??? if you ever need to use it you would be comfy with it...
