Thinking of a new mod but a bit out of touch on what's out there :(

Hello fellow vapers,
Been vaping for over 4 years and have used a Vaporshark DNA40 exclusively for two years now. I moved strictly to nickel builds when I got it and really love temp control. I absolutely love the size and battery life I get out of this mod. I've been out of touch with a lot of what is on the market these days because my Vaporshark has been a total success. Recently I've had some interest in SS builds and maybe even Ti builds, but my DNA40 won't accommodate those types of wire. So, I've been curious about what is out there.

I want to possibly get a new mod but I've been very spoiled by the size of the Vaporshark and I really do not want to go any bigger. A replaceable battery is also a must. I have no interest in Lipo packs so the DNA200 is out of the question unfortunately. Does anyone have any suggestions to a excellent, reliable, small size temp control mod that is around the same size of the Vaporshark DNA40?

Thanks to anyone who may wanna chime in.

Jim

Yeah, I am disappointed in VS. They sell other's stuff now. I have an RDNA40 and an old Vaporflask and they are both past two years. They do real well using minimal battery, too. Anyway, I picked up a Provari Radius, but they don't do the new wires.

Good luck!

If you like the DNA chip and eScribe, you can take a look at an Hcigar VT133, which uses a DNA 200 board running at 133W on 2 18650 batteries. There's also the Lost Vape Efusion Duo which comes standard with a 2 18650 sled for 133W, or a Lipo to swap in for 200W. If you want to stay with another DNA 40, take a look at Hana Modz. They apparently have several on sale there, although I don't know if they only use Lipo's or you have an 18650 option.

People seem to like the eleaf pico.
Small size 18650 batt, 75W NI,TI,SS,TCR.
I personally think it feels flimsy and cheaply made but can't deny it's popularity or price point. Cheers.

Check the eLeaf Pico. Ridiculously small, 75W single 18650, VW and TC (Ni, Ti, and SS), firmware upgradeable, less than $30. Limited to 22mm atties.

This looks great and cheap to try out. Thank you for this. I've purchased the first iStick and the 30w for friends and family and have had great results. What a great looking little mod with lots of options top try and a replaceable 18650. Might not be as accurate as the DNA but worth a try at that price. If it burns cotton at all it's a fail. Gonna check this out. Thank you.

No worries, still appreciated!
