Smallest TC Mod for pocket use?

[Marc411]

OP, I own 3 SX mini's and they are great devices but the name Mini isn't real accurate. It's heavy and not what I would consider traveling pocket friendly. I also own some isticks but when I travel they can be a pain because the battery dies at the worst time and you can't simply swap the battery. Personally I went and held a bunch of different devices and the ipv D2 is the smallest of the bunch. It allows you to do a battery swap and doesn't add much weight to your pocket. There are others that probably exist that meet the same standards I just don't own one.....yet.

I've been researching box mods for some time because I'm trying to find something small for the wife. I've gotten her using the istick 40w but frankly the battery life isn't all that great...she gets about 6 hours on VV at 7.5 watts and 1.8 ohms. I'm trying to gently lead her into replaceable battery devices.

Something isn't right about that Grimwald. I have istick 30's (4 of them) and they all last at least 2 days. I would think that the 40's should last at least as long. Granted, I don't use mine exclusively but hubby does with his and I use mine with my all time favorite vanilla custard juice so use it more than any other device. All 4 of them still last us at least 2 days before needing to be recharged. I keep mine set at 7 watts and my coils are 1.8. He keeps his set at 5 watts and the same 1.8 coils.

For the OP. I know it isn't TC but the istick 30 is the only small box type battery I have used so it is actually the only one I can recommend for its size and long battery life. I have the istick 20 too but can't in good faith recommend one of those.

Op obviously has no Experience with Cloupor mini's and/or believes the hestaria of Amatureish people on the interwebs.

Cloupor mini - with exception of a release of approximately 50 units with bad I.C.'s out of several hundred thousand units, the Mini has proven to be a very solid mod and is enjoyed daily by the majority of owners.
It is accurate, has decent battery life and is smaller than any Mod in class with removable battery.

EVic VTC Mini doesn't get any more pocket sized than that, it's just a little (1/2 in) wider than your 18650 ..........

The IPV D2 is the smallest TC device right now. It is very slightly smaller than the Evic-VTC mini. The Koopor Mini is slightly larger than the D2 (and heavier) but it's cheaper, going for around $30.

If a small size and light weight is your main concern, then definitely get the D2. The TC on it works fine. Or get the Evic VTC Mini-- both are a good choice.

Dont know if this will sway your decision but I own the sx mini m class and with the newer (couple months old now) software update it now goes up to 75w with a single 18650. The update also allows a setting for ti temp control. Once last feature is an eco mode that'll help with battery consumption (cant not verify that as I haven't really messed with the eco mode).

Heres a good size comparison of the SX Mini. Please nobody shoot me for posting a pack of cigarettes.

Evic vtc mini.
Small, 60w, TC, upgradeable firmware, best screen around, real time power, resistance and amp monitoring while firing, pass through, USB charging, etc etc
Dont buy the model with the tank (crap imho) but just the device. (<40$)

My sig 75w tc is nice and small. It's my go mod for when not at home. The battery life could be better but easy swapping out old batteries. They are coming out with a new sig 75w plus soon think it will be housing a single 26650 battery witch can get longer life and the mod itself looks smaller and less box like.

Here's the link. Looks close to the sub box design.

Sounds like the Evic Mini & D2 are closest to what I am looking for. I really need to find a local shop so with both in stock so I can compare them to what I have in relation to size.

I got the vct mini after looking many times at the ipv d2. All it took was one look at the vct and its IMO noticeably better build and the screen is miles better. Size wise...the two are very close. Believe either one is a good choice.

Another vote for the IPV D2. I just got mine Tuesday and I'm VERY happy with it.

 

[dave51]

The VTC mini is a great little mod
Its just a little heavy but thats because of the quality build should last a good long while

From experience I have the IPV D2 and it is brilliant for pocket. I have a Goblin Mini on top when I'm driving or walking around and you can hardly notice them in my hand and they fit in my pocket with ease.
