The mini box mod debate - my debacle and indecisiveness.. so I come to you kind people ;D

[OddaKine]

Here's a bit of a background: I currently and strictly use my ProVari Mini 2.5 (which I'm willing to park ways with). It's just not economical for me when I'm on the go. I live a busy life style and people sometimes oddly look at my jeans area .

So I'm trying to decide between a few devices:

- eLeaf iStick (cheap, easily replaceable if lost)
- IPV Mini
- Vapor Shark dna (recently dropped to $99, but I'd prefer the rDNA models)
- Sigelei 50w v2 Mini Box Mod
- Cloupor Mini
- Open to other suggestions as well (would be willing to trade ProVari is needed)

To note for tanks, I own nautilus, Nautilus Mini, Lemo RTA, and Z Atty Pro (only ProVari obv, willing to sell ASAP)

As someone who is looking for something small, I'd also like to know if there's a Kayfun or Lemo type RTA that is small and concealable to go along with what I end up purchasing above.

love the ProVari and may just keep it for at home purposes, but it's not practical for my on the go lifestyle and 'sneak' vape techniques at work.

This may be long winded, but I'm not an expert yet and I LOVE this communities great feedback.

First, if you haven't read the itty bitty mods thread, you want to do that.

Second - if you are focused on small - the iStick is small. Tons of info over at the iStick thread.

Sigelei 50w v2 Mini Box Mod will serve you well with a solid chip set, put a kanger sub nano / goblin on it for on the go and call it a day.......

Nobody can decide which device is best for you, but you.

Plenty of information here on all of those devices, I would suggest reading those threads.

It is - I'm just not sure switching from ProVari to the iStick will impress me or be sufficient as selfish or naive as that sounds. I'll check the itty bitty mods thread right now.

Great - looking into both the kanger sub nano and goblin

I know that nobody can make my ultimate decision on what to get, but I've been researching too long lol and it's painful. I just want to make sure I'm as informed as possible and I love the community feel here and openness about individual prerernces.

I recently picked up a Smoktech Xpro M50 from MyVaporStore.com and am loving this little box so far! Runs off a single 18650, micro usb charging, 50 watts max power and feels great in the hand. Does not have passthrough and the battery is not easy to change, but for the price I'm extremely happy with it!

I would take the IPV Mini off your list. While I love mine, it's not mini by any chance, just smaller than their full size offerings.

I would wait a bit for the 70W IPV Mini and grab that or out of those the Sigeli would be my choice. The Subtank Mini has an RBA deck and it is really a good RTA when built properly, I prefer it over a Lemo or a Kayfun or any RTA I have tried to be perfectly honest. I have never been a big fan of RTAs however the mini subtank and Delta II in rebuildable mode both highly impress me.

This would be my choice, ugly wavy lines and all. The vaporshark is more stealthy at the same price but you'll probably want the extra power given the gear your powering.

Good feedback from both of you. I ended up ordering the goblin AND subtank mini. I think it's safe to say my addiction is killing my wallet.

The Sigelei does appear to be a bit bigger than I'd prefer, aka pocket and stealth use, but maybe I can give it a go. A coworker of mine is willing to trade my provari for a Vapor Shark rDNA 30.. do you think that's even worth it?

Just going off of Small and pocket-ability.......have you looked at the Eleaf E Grip.
They also sell a rba deck for it if you are so inclined to build your own coils, and I think they even sell pre-built coils for the rba deck.
Couple of good Youtube vids of it ......it is tiny!

That's great advice, and I almost picked one up a couple weeks back. But with me now having an Nautulis Mini, Goblin, Lemo Drop, and subtank mini, it's going to leave the those in the dust.

I'm thinking of doing a Eleak iStick Mini 10W for work(with aspire mini) or iStick 30W to use all tanks, and Vapor Shark or something similar for at home use. I'm thrilled about the progression with RTA and Atomizers like th subtank where you have the RBA capabilities.

Decisions are tough, but we are in such a great time to be vaping with the progression of technology!

 

[Tmebs]

Most definitely a hard time to be a vapor er er
Too many choices.....
I have run the gamut when it comes to equipment, and have only been at vaping for about 14 months!
I'm holding out for my first high watt box mod ( currently the highest is 30 watts ) , thinking I'll pull the trigger on the Eleaf 50 watt once they hit and get knocked around by folks......
Right now I'm playing with builds on an Atomic, Magma, TOBH, and Stilaire.
But man I am soooo intrigued by that damn e grip......

 

[ImThatGuy]

Eleaf egrip? I thought it was the Joyetech Egrip?

 

[Tmebs]

You are correct, I stand corrected, been reading toooooo much and I think I fried some brain cells....could have been the tequila!
Sorry to the OP, I really meant the Joytech E grip.

There are so many when it comes to mini. Its how you see fit for yourself. As myself I started on the Istick but I felt that I need more flavor more clouds. So I went and bought the xpro m50 its a great device I love it but even at 50w I wasnt happy. So now I here with the Siggy-150w and im loving it. Dont get me wrong I love my mini they are my stealth.

I have an IPV Mini and while I love it, it's not really all that "mini" and will probably still draw people's attention to your "jeans area".

I agree with the others who have recommended either the iStick or the iStick mini, both of which are more pocket friendly than the IPV, IMO. In fact, I'll probably pick up an iStick for myself very soon.

Happy vaping, bruddah!

Man the troubles of making decisions on things you absolutely love and are addicted to. As much as I love my ProVari Mini 2.5 and how it has been completely flawless, I just need to move into box mods for numerous reasons. I'm beating a dead horse over here - but maybe I'll just buy a h-ana mini mod clone for the time being and be patient, unless you have other suggestions for $50isn range for time being in the $50 range with 30-50w preference. OR I might just waste my money and fork out $99 for the VS DNA 30 and call it a day and look again in the future

Happy to vaping to you too bruddah. Some good come soon!

I say you save up and go for a $100ish box mod. I just purchased a Sigelei 100W Plus and absolutely love it. My IPV Mini, which I also love, is now my car and work mod. Go big or go home, right? <------(closest thing I could find to a hang ten emoticon)

i have almost the same problem
