Currently I've got vaporshark and vapor flask dna40 and really like the chip. They're both reasonably portable but I'm looking for something even more pocketable. I'm considering this thing XvoStick (shipping in 6-9 weeks) - Mini ECIG which looks like a convenient form factor, just wondering if there's anything else out there before I pull the trigger?
Stealth TC mod?

This one is a modded mini hana style case with a genuine dna 40 and a 18650 battery... 72mm high, 41mm wide
I don't think you can go smaller than that with a 18650 battery

I've searched and searched for the tiniest temp controlled mod and the smallest I've found are the Hana V4m with a built in LiPo battery (71mm x 25mm x 36mm) and the Vapor Shark DNA40 with the non-removable battery (75mm x 22mm x 38mm). I don't think you can go much smaller than the Istick's 77mm x 23mm x 33m unless you reduce the battery capacity and size.
The new Kangxin Mini VF KX-50D is larger than these (93mm x 23mm x 40mm). Removable battery functionality increases size, so for me it's stealth over flexibility.
I have both the Hana and the Vaporshark. The Hana is lighter than the VS, 124g vs 156g, but the I like the rubberized finish on the VS. The Hana is only 1800mah vs 2500mah for the VS, so the VS lasts about 30% longer. I've heard Joyetech/Eleaf has a tiny temp controlled mod on the way.

Quite right, especially about the VS i think that's the smallest I've seen so far (well I was wrong reread your post, but its tiny nevertheless). I only threw out the Mini VF due its big brother being twice the size well almost.

Tony,
Looks great. I'm impressed. I just got a mini box that I plan on doing the same thing too - so this came around at the best possible time for me. How did you do the battery? How did you isolate the positive lead from the case? Since the case itself is a ground, I guess (and I'm assuming here) if the negative terminal of the battery were to ground against the case frame its no big deal. But how did you isolate the positive?
TEACH ME OBI-TONY-KENOBI, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE.
Really don't know much about it but it looks interesting to me and the price point is amazing for a TL device at 50w.
