I like the flush look of these 18350 shorties, but aren't there more out there sub $50? Just the telescope and the other little guy?

looks like its just the squire and the telescope in that range and i guess the XL3 as well. ive been looking. and if you want vv, the XL3 kinda gives you that, but not really. the ss scope can be kicked, so thats good. but im not sure abotu the squire. anyone know if that one can be kicked?

I don't know if the Squire can be Kicked or not...but I don't mind either way...just ordered 2 of them for hubby and me! I'll find out better once we get them (ordered about an hour ago...just got the notice they've shipped!). Wasn't a big issue for me since I mostly use mechanicals as primary PVs anyway.

I would have to say this is the smallest one out there.

i contacted the seller, they are not regulated and they do not accept a kick. the price is amazing so i almost bought one, but not having VV or the ability to kick it kinda tanked it for me. i still kinda want it but ive got a mechanical mod and i hate having to charge the battery so often. i only use the batt for 50% of its life becasue the last 50% offers me very little vape.

The XS-Haler is another option that is under $100

The XS-haler (Mini)

there are a lotttttttttt of mods that fit your description that have fallen in popularity since I joined ecf with my 1st account 4-5 years ago now. there are a lot of US shops that are selling some cool little WELL MADE mods that I can't recall. You might want to do a google search for e-cig mods or a key word similar. There are sites that still have all the popular US shop's mods up for display.

Unfortunately this forum is like an ocean and as new members and new mods come in, old mods go out in popularity. But there are MANY MANY MANY MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANY MORE options for tiny 18350 mods than already listed here.

Joye just came out with a 18350 tube for the ego mod.
I ordered one from Stormys vapor cellar, but didn't get it yet.
I'm hoping the head from the 18650 mod will fit it, but I won't be certain till I have it.
Heavens Gifts in China also has it. They also have a new ego mod head with a redesigned button.
One version is flush 510 style too. This should be a low cost device that is very small.
This must be really new, I see the 18350 tube for sale at a couple of different US sites, but the only place I see the new head unit is at Heavens Gifts. Anyone try the 18350 tube with their exisitng eGo mod head?

Now this is great news! I have the eGo T Mod (actually hubby and I both do..plus a spare control head). I'm going to look into this for sure! I bet the power head should work, since the 18650s and the 18350s are the same diameter!! Woot! Great timing, too!

I own a telescope and trust me, they are fantastic bud. They have replaceable parts. they don't "shake" they just have a design where it is possible to press the tubes off-center. Its not annoying and the telescope would definitely be a great main APV... however, mine isn't my apv. I leave mine in 18350 mode and it doesn't wobble or move when screwed in all-the-way. You CAN replace both the 510 connection AND the bottom cap/switch, which makes the Smoktech Telescope one of the best all-mech mods on the market in it's price point class in my humble opinion. I have one of the 1st issues and mine doesn't have the replaceable 510 connection, but I still love it a lot. Its definitely NOT the smallest 18350 mod, and its around the size of my provari mini in that mode.

Hi Fourthrok: I got mine yesterday. I purchased the 18350 tube and the upgrade head from Stormy's Vapor Cellar.
By the way, good vendor, fast shipping and good prices. Anyway, the upgrade head is listed on Stormy's site as being for use with either the 18650 or 18350 battery tube. Heavens Gifts lists the upgrade head as being specifically for the 18650 tube and even states that its impossible to use it with the 18350 tube. They sell a 510 style head that they list as being for the 18350 tube.
It appears that the 510 style head that Heavens Gifts sells as for use with the 18350 tube has a longer battery connection center pin than the regular upgrade head I purchased (and most people will have now). Looking at the tube, it came with a plastic cap on the inside of the tube. It looks like the new longer battery connection pin then sticks through the small hole in this plastic cap to make connection to the battery. The shorter pin on the regular upgrade head isn't long enough to do this. Here's what's strange. The plastic cap on the inside of the tube simply pushes out to remove it. With the cap removed the old style heads works perfectly. There is a rim on the inside of the tube that prevents the battery from pushing up too far, so even with the plastic cap removed, there is no additional pressure being placed on the head unit. The head unit does not ride on top of the battery with the plastic cap removed, the battery connection pin is the only thing that makes contact with the battery, this is true even with the flat top batteries I'm using. The ridge on the inside of the tube acts as a stop to prevent the battery from pushing too far up and actually touching the underside of the head.
It doesn't look to me like removing this inside plastic cap and using the old upgrade head adds any safety issues, since the ridge on the inside of the tube is the battery stop and the bottom of the head is made of non-conductive plastic with the battery connect pin itself is the only conductive material in contact or able to make contact with the battery. Like I said, it works great this way.
I really can't see a reason why joye designed it with the plastic cap in it, other than to cause the need to purchase the new head with the longer center battery pin. I have attached some pictures below and I'd like your opinions on this. Thanks!
PS: This makes a really cool stealth mod. Short and fat. I love that it uses the 18350 batteries, makes it very compact. The unregulated mod of the upgrade head lets it start out at 4.2v (it goes down as the battery charge does) so it hits really well with one of my vivi nova tanks using a 1.8 ohm head. Thanks!

That is a puzzlement jjcordone! I'm not sure I quite understand what that middle picture is...is there no spring inside the main tube? My 18650 tubes have springs inside...and a little screw at the middle of the bottom of the tube to hold the spring. So long as both button top and flat top 18350's fit in there with proper pressure and so they don't fire randomly...I don't understand the purpose for the plastic ring at the top like that. Very strange. Glad to hear our old heads do fit and work. That is how I understood it from Stormy's too. I don't THINK there is any "safety issue". I don't have mine yet (probably won't until Monday). What you are saying makes sense. No idea why Joye would change things up like that...except like what you said, to try to force us to get the new heads.

BTW..don't know if you saw it, but someone here on ECF took the head of the Evic and put it on eGo T mod mini tube! Looks pretty slick, too! Can't imagine, if you can put the head of the Evic on the eGo T 18350 tube, and it work right, that there'd be any problem with the upgrade power heads we users already have on those tubes. I am lusting after the 510/eGo head thing though...one of these days I guess they'll be here in the U.S. I'm not going to order from China. Not my thang.
