    Opinions Please !!!...I have also been looking at Box type devices with the one main prerequisite being a Fixed Battery...The T18 I got is fine but it would have been better with at least VV...I think the T22 is a bargain but again no VV...Here are 2 batteries and 1 Kit I've been looking at...I skipped the links...common stuff...

    eLeaf iStick mini 1050 mAh VV...Sneaky Little Booger...Would be quite tiny with my T18 tank...
    eLeaf iStick 40 2600mAh TC / VW...I'm assuming that would be just fine with a Nautilus 2 or my Prizm ?

    Aspire Zelos 50 w/Nautilus 2...The battery looks like an eLeaf(?)...TC / VW / VV...Anybody have this one ?

    Also...For a fairly light hitter like me...What would be a good guess for the life expectancy of those batteries ?

    Thanks Much For Any Insights / Opinions You Might Have...Trig :D
    I purchased the zelos a few mths back and @ 7.5w, the battery hardly goes down in 24hrs. Five ml per day, all day. Finish is good and fits my hand well. I was an Istick guy from the start and enjoy this better.

    Thanks...And that's about where I'll be 7.5 - 10ish...maybe a bit more but not much...Plus I have been planning on getting a Nautilus 2 anyway...So maybe that's as good a reason as any to get the kit...And Xmas is coming so I can always get a mini...a MegaVolt...And one of every other Toy in the shop !!!

    'Grats, Kadly of Sir.

    Hu Gnu!






    Thank you for the 'splanation and the larger pic. I was freaking out for a moment. I thought it was a pic of internal organs. :blink:
    :shock::eek:
    Perhaps a little editing is in order, Mayhap I need to brighten it, or crop it? I'll have to ponder.

    That sounds like the slippery slope to me!
    The mega volt is built-in battery mod that goes up to 80w (way more that you need ...for now) and does TC on Ni, Ti and SS wires. Based on the power consumption you posted, you should be good for at least a day before recharging, btw, it charges fast.

    Speaking respectfully goes a long way :)

    YEP - Both Ways . . . ;) :wub:

    Maybe I should have kept the old pic a little longer?

    Well - Actually, this just might be more appropriate . . .

    ah....well it may have been the 32oz margarita I had at dinner tonight too...

    My wife discovered a drink that's mega bucks in a bar but cheap at home and OMG a great drink that refreshing and low fat compared to beer. We can pound a 40 of rum in less than a week
    The Mojito:
    --Make a simple syrup of equal parts sugar and water(1cup water/1 cup sugar) just to a boil then cool and put into a bottle to dispense.
    --Lime..peel the skin off cause the skin makes the drink bitter, cut 1/3-1/2 lime or too taste into thin slices...add to glass. Lime juice isn't as good as lime
    --Mint Leaves...fresh mint in the store, break the leaves into glass, again amount to taste.
    --Pound the lime and mint down with a muddler (I use a piece of wood dowel) to break it all up into mushy, don't look down or you'll get lime in the eyes
    --equal amounts of simple syrup and booze(rum or vodka). Syrup too is to taste, I tried less than equal amounts and IMO not as good
    -- stir the base of booze and ingredients
    --add can of club soda then ice but don't mix too much after you add ice it will froth the soda over the cup
    --stir lightly to mix, then add ice, push down the leaves under the ice.
    Drink, enjoy then get ready to make another

    Stick around for a bit, you might learn something useful too, but not too often. Just kidding, there are many helpful people around, and even I have a good answer now and again.

    @Trigster - While I was stocking up, I bought a bunch of the little Eleaf Mini 10W mods. I really like that they're so tiny (wonderful for stealth vaping) and that they're VV. They're also definitely the right size for putting in a shirt or pants pocket, and they only weigh 2.1 oz. without a tank on it.

    I've had 3 in rotation for more than 2.5 years now, and 1 has finally gotten alittle "wonky" as far as the Mini port charging. Needs alittle fiddling with the plug sometimes to get it to start charging.

    I would choose one slightly larger though, if you want a mod to put a 22mm tank on. It will extend over the front edge of the Mini 10W by about 3mm, and off each side by about .5mm. I usually use an Ego One tank, an Evod Mega tank, an Aspire K1, Mini PT3, etc. on mine.

    I also have several of the Council of Vapor little Mini Volt 40W mods. Bought 4 of them on a Clearance sale on Mister E-Liquid...about 3-4 months ago. Been using 2 of them, and sadly...already 1 has gone "wonky" as far as charging it. I love them, too, though, despite 1 having a problem already! They are alittle larger than the Mini 10W Eleaf, so a 22mm tank just does fit on it with no overhang. They're also a pocket friendly size for sure, but since they're a 40W they do weigh alittle more...3.4 oz. without a tank on it.

    Hopefully the above will help you alittle bit.

    I believe the Mega volt is a bit bigger than the Minivolt but you can fit a 24mm tank on it (I think, I'm looking at the Berserker rta for it) and they upped the power from 40w to 80w which in tootle-terms means long time between charges.

    Thanks JC...I'll do a little more sniff'in around Council Of Vapors...But I think I'm still fuzzy on the settings...Say I'm using my T18 tank w/1.5ohm coil...Would the Mini Volt be set purely on temperature ?...And when everything comes full circle I'll probably end up with more than one of the several that have been mentioned...Still kind'a think that Aspire Zelos W/N2 Tank might be a good place to start...And FT has them stupid cheap !!!

    I noted that as well on the ability to fit a 24mm tank...I do have more study'in to do :D...Trig

    The temperature setting comes into play if and only if you're using temperature control ( Ni, Ti or SS coils). Other than that, you can use it in wattage mode like any other mod.

    I have a question about the Eleaf Mini 10W mods. It says that they can go to 10 Watts, and they can go to 5 Volts, and they have a 510 connection. If I slap a NaughtyX on there with a 1.8 Ohm atomizer and set it to 5 Volts will it let me fire the thing at 13.89 Watts or will the Wattage max of the device not allow that? Will it only allow me to set a 1.8 Ohm atomizer to 4.24 Volts in order to keep from bypassing the Wattage limit or does that limit only apply to what you are allowed to set it to?

    If I'm understanding your question correctly...The CoV Mini Volt 40W mod doesn't have the TC feature. You can only adjust the wattage and the Ramp Mode on it.
