hey all! I was just fishing for some good suggesttons about some box mods. I have the MVP 2 and recently got the istick 30. I like the form of the box mod but both of these don't have replaceable batteries.

I have been looking at the ipv mini but really don't know about the rest. This are the things I am looking for.

Stainless Steel Threads
I am not a sub ohmer so that is not an issue.
Also with wattage I don't go high on that either so low wattage is ok too.
Price wise I would be willing to go around 50 to 60 dollars if they are good quality.

Thanks!

I would suggest the IPV Mini or Sigelei Mini. I have the IPV Mini and it is pretty nice. And so easy to swap batteries. People are just starting to get their hands on the Sigelei and most seem to like it. The Sigelei also comes with a silicone sleeve. Added bonus that makes the price hard to beat. I have heard them selling for as low as $43.

Right behind you...
Sigelei 30w would hit all your marks. Good quality, reputable company, replaceable battery with magnetic door, good 510 connector, can be had for less than $50.
It's between your iStick and your MVP in height, about as wide and thick as the iStick. Comes with a nice silicone sleeve and there's already a large variety of dress-up vinyl skins for sale, if you are into a bit of bling.

IPV Mini 30w would also be a good choice, a bit larger than the Sigelei, more stylish to some, same basic chipset and functionality, screw-on battery door, good 510 connector, can be had for about the same price.

The Cloupor Mini is a decent device if you can get past the melt-down concerns, same size as the iStick (though heavier and much more solid in the hand), magnetic battery door, so-so 510. Can be had for under $30 if you're willing to wait for it to ship from China, under $50 from US seller.

Here is a thread that has some great suggestions. I went from the mvp2 to the reo and can't imagine vaping getting any better for me. Loved dripping and wanted a long battery life that was just simple and dependable. Found both.

Do you know if the threads are stainless steel on the IPV Mini? Thats the one Im kinda leaning for.

You DON'T want the mini but you are in the price range for the new MVP 3.0 : https://cravingvapor.com/product/mvp-3-0/

There should be more vendors with better prices within the the next week or two .....
Who are you to tell someone what they don't want?? This is all about suggestions. Not telling someone what they do and do not want

And apparently you didn't read. They want a replaceable battery. And the MVP 3.0 is not in the price range anyway. It is going to be selling for $60- $70. That is at the high end of what the OP wanted to pay. Much better options at a much better price.

I have no idea why people are pushing the damn MVP 3.0 so hard. It is a day late and a dollar short.

I would have to guess your one of the few who has a V1 that reads the correct ohms, mine sure doesn't, back light dims immediately after you let the fire button go, do you really enjoy knurls from the battery cap in your hand ? and if you prefer a heavier mod to carry in your pocket then this one is for you .......

My ohms read .1Ω off. No biggie. I'm not sub ohming so it doesn't need to be 100%. And the majority of people that have a 30w device aren't sub-ohming either. My screen dims yes. But I set it and forget it. I'm not always fiddling with it. Doesn't bother me in the least. It brightens when I need to adjust it. It isn't a smartphone that I am constantly staring at the screen. And I guess you haven't read up on specs. The MVP 3.0 is bigger and a little heavier than the MVP 2.0. And the 2.0 is already bigger than the IPV Mini.

Your arguments are moot.

Not if you had one of these :3D Printed Ohm Meter

My Sigelei 50w V2 arrived today.

Not sure what the threads are - they certainly look like SS. Like the OP, I worry about threads so have got an airflow controller to live on it. Like this:

Airflow Controller [VE554-L14] - £2.99 : Vape Escape

This Sigelei is a couple of mm taller than a MVP2, slightly wider, slightly deeper.
Magnetic back, takes one 18650 flat top.
7W - 50W.
USB charging if you want it.
It feels lower quality than a MVP2 - cheaper alloy body - but like the OP I wanted removeable battery, and I also wanted the option for higher watts. I have no idea how body quality compares to the competition.
For price - in the UK a MVP2 is about 32GBP, this Sigelei was 55GBP.
