Someone was telling me that it would be a good idea to have a back up mod. I'm currently running joytech 200w is there a smaller unit that's not as blocky that offers a nice wide range in wattage? Id be happy from 20w-80w. Any suggestion would be great :) thanks guys. I'm happy with the joytech and it's only 4 weeks old. I don't have any issues with it but someone mentioned it would be good to have a back up! Do these things break down a lot or do the last a long time?

No one teach you wax off Daniel-san??? Long standing rule, backups for your backups for your backups, thus why you see people get into collecting mods and attachments, one craps out, you always gotza backup, especially if you are a former tobacco user, doesn't have to be pricey, heck an Ego One or iJust2 are great backups for when you are strapped for cash and need something to keep you going until you can buy a new one.

A good backup I think you should consider for a cheap price points is the Istick 100 Watt with upgradable firmware up to 120 watts if you think you need that much extra. You can get one for around $30 dollars if you shop right. 101vape.com / myvaporstore.com / vaperoyalty.com. I got the black one and am loving it. I definately would consider a backup, you never know if you might drop your current one. I am always scared I am going to drop mine. Yah just never know how long your current one is going to last.

I had an istick 50 w with a subtank 25mm that lasted me 4 months (it took a lot of abuse). I went back to my ryo until I could afford to buy another mod. So yes if you need nicotine and don't want to go back cigarettes, you should defiantly have a backup, even have a backup for your' backup. I myself have enough mods to last me the rest of my life, about 5 tanks with the coils to go with them. Three rta and one dripper.

The istick does look good :) so what do you guys travel with two mods all the time? Like going to work and such ? And on the istick obviously I can run my cleito and crown tank on it?

Istick is a solid choice. I just carry one mod with me to work but I only work part time so I could go four hours without nicotine. Only mod I wouldn't recommend is the Siglei 150 w TC because I dropped it once and it went dead.

I have 8 mods so I am backed up for my back ups back ups.... If you want something similar to your Cuboid, you can get a Smok R200 for around $40. I have both the Cuboid and the R200 and they work similar and are both small pocket friendly devices. The R200 being a little wider but lighter weight than the Cuboid. Grab an extra tank while you are at it;)
