Reliable 5V mod for under $100 (No Boxes!)

[WillieB69]

I'm getting sick of my 5V box mods dying on me every couple of months. Sure they're only $25 or $30 but it's a pain to have to order a new one every time I turn around. And if they die without a spare on hand, I have to go back to my 3.7V which just doesn't cut it for me anymore.

I've found several review sites that list various mods but a lot of them are dead links or go to the seller's "item not found" page. I'm guessing there have been a lot of mods developed and discontinued over the last couple of years. As a result, I now come to you, fellow ECFers.

Here's what I'm looking for:

About $100 is my spending limit right now- That's for the mod, batteries and charger.
Can't be a cheap battery box mod. I've had my fill of those.
The Copper is out simply because I don't like their firing mechanism.
Edit: No juice boxes.
Must be 5-6V.

Help Me!

Check out the Tripple V, should be able to get mod, charger and batteries within your budget. It's 5v Regulated, not small but about as durable as they come.

Well, thanks for your input guys.
However, my wife chimed in and said if I was getting a new mod, so was she. LOL
That cut my budget by about half so after spending the day researching the internet and ECF, I decided on getting us each a Bombshell from Hot Vapes. Depending on batteries, it can either be a 3.7 mod (which is what the wife likes) or a 6V mod (which is what I like)

I read too many bad reviews on the Turbo and VaprLife's customer service to go that route. They are a cool looking mod but I'm trying to get away from problems I've seen described about VaprLife's products. (And they're not vented! WTH?? )

From what I've read here and the video reviews I've watched, I think I've made a good choice with the Bombshell. It seems like they had a bad batch of switches at one point so hopefully that issue has been resolved.

Again thanks to you both for the input. Maybe at some point I will still check out that Triple V. It looks like one tough machine!
