Small Mod for stealth?

[PodVaper]

Story:
This mod I'm searching for is for my friend which tries to quit smoking but I'm a pod vaper (Am I? lol). I tried first to give my Zero's and pods away, but after a while couldn't easily buy the pods anymore plus price went up too. So my friend went back to smoking again.

Just now, wants to try it over again but it will be the same after a while and struggle to buy pods again... back smoking I guess.

I don't have many mods (mostly pod mods only or AIO's), beside my Aegis and tank system. As of those are not suitable because of the hard time to buy pre-made coils(including pods) and stuff. So, I was sinking to get a small mod box with an attached MTL atty (I have some MTL attys around) and then to build own coils as recommendation. A one time buy for long usage and no hassle to re-buy pods, coils, etc. only juice.

It might be a bit of a tricky need of help mod search and find question. This being said, I have been searching along the web for a couple of days now and it seems I couldn't get what I want for (yet).

So here I am, asking my fellows on the ECF. Either from self using experience or advise.

Tricky part:
- Mod is available on AliExp (because of the country ban and being super restricted)
- Location Asia, sorry I couldn't be more specific
- Small enough for stealth and portability
- Built-in battery
- Use with MTL atty (I will give away my atty's; Ctulhu 1928 and Berserker)
- Price not more than 50$

UPDATED: Mods lists in scope

+ Vaporesso GEN Nano
+ Teslacigs T40w
+ Eleaf Amnis 2 ? (23w) < this no good to low
+ Eleaf iStick 30w

I would totally go and recommend the Vaporesso Target Mini 2 but couldn't find it anymore.

I think I missed something too but couldn't think as of now, must eat first. (done now)

PS. Sorry for my English not the best, not my language.

Update Section (2021-03-23):
Listed below Mods are going to be on my buy list instead just buying one, plus more choices for my buddy too. And I can play around and have some spare when my pod dies. (Win-win)

- Eleaf iStick S80
- Vaporesso Target Mini (ordered)
- Innokin Coolfire Mini (buddy liked Mod 23-03-2021)
- Innokin Coolfire Z50
- Teslacigs T40w (added 24-03-2021)
- Eleaf iStick 30w (added 24-03-2021)

Big thank you to @Brewdawg1181 , @UncleJunkle , @Falconeer .

be well

Found an interesting Mod, is it good I don't have a clue lol but is on my list now, yes ! Eleaf iStick S80, very interesting.

Innokin Coolfire Mini?

Innokin Coolfire Mini?

Thanks for the input! I have looked into it and it looks very small and should cover all my expect. But I read some reviews that the 510 thread is shallow, don't know how much tho.

By searching the Coolfire Mini, the Pebble came up too. Such a tiny little device would be nice, unfortunatly its not for sell anymore. Seems like both are on the older site, keeps me sinking of the battery life while those devices are hanging in their stocks too.

I have Coolfire Mini put on my fav list on Ali now.

Be well

There may be others I don't know about but there's usually great advice comes from members here, so other ideas might come up yet.

I have a couple of Coolfire Minis through in my other house at the opposite side of the country from where I'm locked down so I can't check out the depth of the 510s but they do work just fine with Zenith atomisers.

I use them when I'm travelling with one to vape and the other on charge in the car, and so far after a couple of years with them doing that sytem they've been no bother.

No worries and thanks for the sharing. I'm gonna checkout the Zenith tank thread screw then. Not sure what the reviewer had used that said the thread is shallow.

In the UK the Coolfire mini is usually sold as a kit with the Zenith and I have used them with Zeniths, Zlides, and Nautilus Minis again with no bother.

Since you already have the atty, might also want to look into the Vaporesso Swag 2 mod. Very small but also very light becuase the body is all plastic.

EDIT: Never mind, I see you want a built-in battery. I cannot shop AliExpress becuase it gives me a headache.

Cool! Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Thank you for the input, yes I have seen this one too. A very interesting mod, small and compact. Anyways, I was sinking the same AliExp is one of the worst search engine. It sometimes driving me crazy too.

Now, I'm wondering if I could and should ordering from FTT again or not, I had access to it but also a not so good experience with it and got a fake device from it, even it said "Authentic" that's why I stopped using it. But FTT seems to have some discontinued devices all over the place, just in case I want an older device too.

Be well.

I have been ordering from FT for about 6+ years and I have never got a clone unless I buy a clone (title will say "styled").

Would be interested to have a link to the exact product you bought from FT that you say is listed as authentic but was sent as clone.

If FT title says "Authentic" and manufacturer is listed in title or in specs, then it is authentic.

I think the coolfire z50 is pretty much the smaller u can get with kinda big battery and for sure it's very durable cause I have it and has survived many falls....
It's not fancy with colour screens and stuff like that but it gets the job done...
I don't think u can go smaller than that if u don't want to go for a pod..

It's tinyyyyyy

No offense here, but it was a Zero pod with fancy color(but not listed color on the official Vaporesso website) but could be a mistake either from Fasttech or from me about the "Authentic". It was a long time ago couldn't remember just that it was a clone that I received.

Nice !! I think I will buy one for myself or better buy a bunch of them from my list and let my buddy choose from.

Be well.

You mention the Target Mini 2, but it's a good deal larger than the original, which they still make. I have a couple of them, and they're about as small as you get these days. I love them, and using one now. Fasttech still has them.

It's this one on the far right. It's next to the SBody Macro, which I believe is the smallest single 18650 mod in existence. It's an old pic, and it also has the Nugget X on the far left, no longer available, and the Wismec P80 (okay, but not great).

And if you want a recommendation on a small, inexpensive, easy to build and very forgiving atomizer, the SXK Doggystyle is great. On the SBody, and on the one in my hand at bottom.

Thank you for the sharing and info, yes indeed the Target is one nice mini Mod. Looked it up for years but never got to it and now I'm sitting here why I didn't get it, I could easily give it to my buddy. Also the Nugget X is a nice cutie too similar to the Pebble I think.

Thank you! Interesting, I quick searched it up and there are many version of it. Which one you recommend ? Below is a quick screenshot of those that I can find.

There's something about the hit on the Nugget X that I like. But it's a little bigger, sharper corners, a little wonky about asking me to confirm ohms, and nowhere near as ergonomic and pocket friendly as the Target. They're great little mods.

These are the ones I have- SXK makes the best clones I've used.

I also have some of these. SJMY makes high quality clones as well. Almost the same, but frosty instead of clear, and slightly more airflow (and IIRC, doesn't come with a drip tip):

I have updated the thread and added a list of Mod's in scope now, I really want all of them lol but let's see. I will show this tomorrow and let my buddy decide too. (but why did I get hooked so much again and even more than my buddy?)

The Nugget, just the name makes me want to try it already lol. Also thank you so much for both links and info you had provided.

PS. My "S" keyboard is broken, can't type it sometime.

Be well.

BTW, I've ordered most of my vape gear over the years from FT, and never had an issue with them either. I only like very small mods, and always wanted a Coolfire Mini or Pebble, but could never find one at a decent price. I'm sure you wouldn't go wrong with an Innokin product.

Good luck!

A popular stealth mod from early 2014 was the MicroStick (Donkey) by Mini Ecig. It used rebuildable atty's, 18350 batts and with the extension 18490 batts as well. A turn of the fire button locks them on/off for pocket carry. And they are more stout enough to carry them deep in pants pockets as well as like this one pictured in a Levis coin pocket and will last for years and years of constant use. Mine is from the first run of them, but they still make them and an XvoStick as well. In 2014 the Donkey cost over $200 with the extension. Now days the 18350 model is $50, or $60 with the extension included. For atty's in mine I used expensive By Leo Slim Tanks with rebuildable flow control Sophia's instead of cartos, and VapourArt Spheroids. But bargain basement clearo's work in them too (Aspire, etc).

Oh, I tried to test the order for the Target Mini but unfortunate its out of stock or not available. But no worries, will continue to search a little bit more and wait. Might get the atty for myself tho.

Thanks, but I'm more likely searching for a built-in battery mod. Also looks nice tide !
