So are Nivel and OKR-T/6-W12-C basically the 2 best choices?

[Led Hendriani]

Wanting to build a single 18650 box mod to use with re-buildable atties. So far, 4.18 is the highest I have used (flashlight mods, Riva eGo[3.6?], ePower 18650 unregulated and now an indulgence 18650 mod) and my GTUS, Phoenix clones and Bulli clone all are using approx. 1.5 ohm coils with 400 SS mesh.

I do not want something too big or heavy so figure a single 18650 boosted is the way to go, and have been searching through threads but want to verify if I am on the right track!!!

The Nivel is way too expensive for me! Might as well buy a ZMAX.

I found this on eBay: LM2577 DC-DC Step-Up Module 3-34V to 4-35V DIY Module | eBay

...wondering if it is worth it or should I just spend more on the OKR-T/6-W12-C...
OR something else?

Thanks for your expertise!

The OKR needs two batteries in series, but have you considered Ti's PTN04050C? You will need to stay within 12W so your coil should be above 2Ω, but that is quite doable. Should you want to try, they are in the sample program also.

DNA12 from evolv also could be a great choice to boost voltage from a single LiIon battery. It at least twice cheaper than Nivel and more compact.
Anyway if you use Genesis - after getting some experience to make heaters I moved to standard eGo voltage

Yeah,what's suggested above.

And BTW,Nivel is also coming with a new one,be afraid,be really afraid

DNA-12's work great....and they are variable wattage...... Our Products « Evolv

I wonder why it needs to be a secret.

You haven't come close to "So far, 4.18 is the highest" using a 1.5Ω atty. Loaded/vaping volts is all that counts.

You are probably averaging ~8W. A truly regulated 4.18V will provide about 50% more Power (watts). That is significant and quite noticeable and depending on the PV ahould remain there the life of the charge.
