Small RTA for 18350 Mech - Stealthy recommendations....

[BreSha6869]

Hey all...

I am looking to add a small RTA to my arsenal.

It will have to support a 1.2-1.5ohm build and be able to get a tigher airflow similar to a kayfun Lite+. I will be using it with a Gus or HoH in 18350 mod.

I have enough drippers and greatly prefer tanks.

Let me know your thoughts!

The Serpent Mini is a superb single coil RTA

Serpent Mini or Moonshot are small and I like them both but they aren't MTL tanks. S Mini for single coil though.

Nectar mini, ersatz Genny, can use cotton, single diagonal coil.
The Micro is extreme small 22m diameter..

How 'bout a KF V3 Mini? Serp Mini would be pretty good too - you can dial down the airflow to almost nothing. I prefer mine wide open. KF V3 Mini, I've had to pull the air flow screw, otherwise it's too tight a draw for me. I can handle w/o the airflow screw

GP spheroid. Looks good on 18350 mods, the newest one has adjustable draw and can be run without fluff if you'd rather.

kayfun nano goes well with a small mod.

Kayfun nano looks great on a 18350.

How does the performance of an 18350 compare to 18650? Less amps, mah, both? I have only used regulated so far but was just given a couple mechs & one works for both sizes. I have been loving the moonshot & think it would be great on top of a little tube like that.

Less mAh and less amps, and higher internal resistance.

Much less amps and mah capacity.

Best 18350 will have only 5 - 7 amps and only 800mah capacity. Battery time is going to suck big time; plan on carrying several batteries to last out the day. Battery (voltage) sag worse than an 18650. Coil resistance restricted to 0.7 ohm or higher. Vape experience will be like using an eGo battery and clearomizer in my opinion; don't expect any cloud chasing.

I actually referenced that chart in another thread. Really doesn't seem worth the drawbacks.

That's a sweet little set up.

I agree, but others are willing to put up with the limitations and inconveniences for a portable, pocket-friendly mod.

I understand the draw towards a small mod. One of my first mods a few years ago was a mechanical AltSmoke BB. It used a 14500 ICR or IMR battery, which has the same dimensions as a AA battery. It was perfect for short trips to the store or for an afternoon when out and about. I was using 2.0 ohm cartomizers in cartotanks on the BB, so they weren't much of a drain on the 14500. However, I found that I had to always carry one or two spare batteries with me in case I was out longer than expected. My vaping application changed over the years from a high ohm/low wattage vaper to a sub-ohm/high wattage vaper, so my BB has been sitting in a drawer for a few years. (Currently out of production)

BB

I also have a Provari Mini 2.5 which can use an 18350 battery. Like the BB, it was great for out and about trips in the car, but necessitated bringing a couple of spare batteries to last out the day. Not used much today because of its low power output.
