I'm a rebuildabe guy, so can't offer an informed opinopn, but I have tried the arctic tank and the Kanger subtanks and have to say the arctic blows Kanger away at first use. Kanger lists he subtank at 30W max. The arctic is listed at up to 100W as is the Starre. But there is a new Starre coming soon you may want to look into as well.

The Subtanks can be run a bit higher than 30 watt max. Just not reccomended .5 ohm coil is rated up to 30 watts but it also comes with the rebuildable deck so you can make a hotter build. I just ordered the Sigelei 75 watt with TC. I doubt I will ever need more wattage than that. Several people have bought the higher wattage devices only to find they rarely like going higher than 35-50 watts. I love my Subtank Mini and will probably pick up another.
I am also looking at the Zephyrus Tank because it can use prebuilt occ coils and like the subtanks comes with rebuildable deck. Good for up to 50 watts.

Heavy she is. She's a desktop thing, I don't carry her around. I am a mech modder from way back-- back when regulated mods could only make 15 watts and I needed more power-- and this is my first high power box mod. I picked the SW due partly to the build quality you noticed; and partly due to the impressive reviews here on the board of the TC implementation; and partly because I do not have another hi-power box or TC machine; and partly because I figured getting all that in one package would let me experiment and see where I wanted to go. I have now discovered 200 watts is *far* more than I need, and that TC is no flash in the pan but rather the coming thing. This time next year you'll start seeing Ni200 coils for legacy tanks, mark my words. Having said all that, I will probably buy a Evolv DNA 40 TC board and build one in the near future. That one could be a one battery mod, and would be small and light enough to carry around.
I love my Snow Wolf although it is heavy. It's great for using around the house or bringing it with me in the car. Another new favorite is the Sigelei 75TC and that works great if you are on the move and want something lighter. Aside from the quirk/feature of the YiHi chip of having to manually set the resistance whenever you switch coils, it functions exactly like the Snow Wolf. Being smaller and lighter, it is basically like carrying a baby Snow Wolf. It only goes up to 75 watts in kanthal mode as opposed to 200 watts, but in nickel mode it goes up to the same 75 watts of the Snow Wolf.

I just bought a SX Mini M used off the classies; I will shortly know about the Yihi chip. I had hoped to get something small enough to lug around with TC mode available (I still want a Hanamodz V4, too) and the upgrade to Ti wire is also available on the SX. We shall see. But that SW, now... that thing's a mod and a half. Hard hitting, sweet looking, easy to use.

The latest upgrade also bumps up the maximum wattage to 120 watts and the maximum joules to 75 joules. The SX350J chip in the SX Mini adds a bunch of other features that isn't available in SX330 chip that exists in the other YiHi mods like the Sigelei and the IPV's.

I understood you needed the "extension tube" to let you hang another battery on the SX to get up to 120 watts, albeit I may be wrong therein. I'm not sure if I will bother, actually. It kind of destroys the small form factor, this being one of the big attractions to me for the Mini, and I find I don't need anything over 40 watts with Ni wire anyway, unless I'm trying to build a 14ga Left Handed Super Duper Twisted Clapton or something. But the Ti wire may react differently when I get my roundtuit all polished up. I don't know yet.

These are the toppers I'm using on my sig 150.

Kanger subtank mini- great flavor, new rba is great.
Youde zephyrus- great topfill tank, stock coil is iffy, rba is fantastic.
Herakles- decent tank, I can't find a reliable coil yet, maybe I bought a 5 pack of duds, frustrated with this one.

In closing I like using my rba's on it the most, derringer, troll, Kennedy etc

I've heard of herakles but I've just not really come across one. Lemos is a new one for me. I'll give them a look. Thanks!

I love the Herakles. It's now my go-to tank.
I have the Cthulu, Lemo2, and STM.
It looks great on the Sigelei (I modified my tank a little though).

That's too bad. Two of us have this tank, and I've only come across one coil that just wouldn't connect. I appreciate being made aware of a possible issue though.

Yes it does. Without the extension, the max wattage is now 75 watts instead of 60 watts. I have no idea what happens to the bypass mode, which is supposed to work like a mech. On the original firmware, bypass mode allows the SX Mini to output 80 watts rather than 60 watts.

i use a sig 150 and i love it i am currently using a triforce tank which may not be for you it is very airy almost like breathing but my secondary tank is the arctic tank with .2 coils and it is good at 60-80 watts but for higher wattages to use the upper limits of the wattage the 150 can put out a dripper or rebuild-able tank would be where those wattages will shine for sure.
