I wonder if Vapor Shark would replace the dna 40 chip with a dna 60 in the sbody
Possibly would. Lets not forget about the Boxer Dna60 that should be releasing in the next two weeks. It is the smallest PV I have ever seen that has a replaceable battery. They will be selling it out of Ginger Vaper.

I had not realized just how tiny that was... I may need one! I'm all about low key, discreet, non-attention attracting devices.

Any thoughts on build quality, performance, etc?

So I was going to post in here about this as our power requirements are so low comparatively and I am blown away with this. I had the original and I didn't expect his much of an improvement.
I just picked up a new mega volt. They can be had as low as $38 and it is an amazing size. Its not replaceable battery but before you rule it out.
First and foremost the power output (anecdotal but I'm pretty picky) and build quality are both well above average in this price range. WAY above.


A) it's as small as you can get and still have tanks look normal. Not big tanks but most 2-3ml tanks look perfect

2) it has what the industry has taken to calling "zip charging" which means it charges an internal 2100mah lipo in about an hour.

Theta) it has a user configurable auto power off setting so putting it in s purse or pocket won't create an issue typically. Or if you're good with locking devices you can disable that feature

Its a very very nice device that can take even 25mm tanks which opens up the options for larger capacity short tanks. I have been very very happy with mine. And I'd vowed not to buy anymore inbuilt battery devices. It has full temp control with s chip that works very well for that and it outputs wel beyond tootle puff territory into 75-80w I can't recall ATM.

Here is how small it is. No replaceable battery device comes close to the size with this capacity. You'd have to drip to 500 or 350 series batteries with half the 1/4 of the capacity. The battery lasts forever for our type of vaping. I get two days on it. And an hours charge.

So don't close off completely. If you don't like the mega volt there are a few other devices in the same vein.

Also the cloupor mini can be bought super cheap on. They had a run of issues early but they were all Sorted subsequently. If you must have replaceable battery. But for $38 themega golt cannot be bested yet imo. I also just tried the rx mini and that's a failure in every way imo. Too big and bulky. Weird. Power isn't as good to me. Etc.

Here's is the gunmetal mega volt for size reference. Granted I'm 6'5" but even in small hands it's tiny. I'll shoot it next to a couple tootle puffers items for size reference. It's in the middle of the cync and icare go

And here it is with the Merlin mini which is a weird size and has very slight overhang in one plane but looks good still.

A few drippers. Charm. Notoy. Et.

i really can't say enough good things about it. Fast charge. Great battery life. Absolutely tiny but accommodates good size tanks.

The upcoming baby boxer DNA 60 is going to be amazing (classic not v2 imo) but it's going to be $100.

The evic mini is a great mod that's slim and light. Not the smallest ever but very nice and a good size. In hand it feels a good deal smaller than many other 18650 mods.
Otherwise you can go
Mech and get a side by side or there are several regulated side by side mods. What size tank are you using ? Vapresso make one for 22mm mods. Eleaf has one coming out for $35 that takes 22 mm mods but man it's ugly.

You best me to it. They sent me this photo when I asked about it. The boxer uses a 26500 battery though don't forget. In case it's important to anyone. I'm not sure what standard capacity is on those. Can't be more than 2000 mah can it ? Man it's small. It will be somewhat wise though. Taking 25mm tanks and with a 26500 battery.

There is also this little wismac made beastly for about $80. The petite. The price will
Drop fast imo to around $50. Is it la petit vapor that designed it. I don't recall. I just came across it. It takes a 18650 cell but $80 is too much imo
For a wismac made device. Sorry

lets also not forget old faithful. The ever present super cheap but relatively wel made and good performing istick pico. Which can look good with tall tanks due to the design allowing the battery to stick out the top 1/5 of the way. By limited to 22 mm also.

Here's the istick compared to the mega volt

Honestly I kind of feel like everybody should just buy an icare go and a bunch of coils and use that as their ultraportable because well $17 and five coils for $3.50 and then we don't have to worry about size and pay a premium or make sacrifices. :)

Standard size for a 26500 is 3000mah :) so that is acceptable I think.

I feel like it was some other odd size. Like 25500. Is that a real Size ? Yah 26500 3000 mah would be great. I'm It a fan of the v2. I find the buttons too difficult to Push for a DNA device it's a big deal When you have to Press three. That could be a bigger deal To Me than many others as I'm going through multiple Spine surgeries and have half numb hands right now and paralyzed points.

But the classic which is lighter and more pocket friendly I think (slides in and out ) I want his mod more than any I've seen for a long long time.

I just bought another mark bugs wae II for a second gem. In 500 mode that's a great tootle puffers setup.

**By the way when I said everybody should grab one of those little I care go I meant as a secondary device obviously it doesn't compete with things like the GP spheroid which is a master class in small

I prefer tube styles too...been looking for a good 20 or 40 watt, 22 mm diameter
18350 or 18500 that's not a light saber.

We probably don't see too many cause it's easier to cram all the electronics into a box. lol
Thats why I stocked up on P. minis but I'd love to have another pen-style for a change.

Let me know if you find one.

Dear Lord, I must've lost it....or I never had it to begin with:confused:. I just ordered a PURPLE,,,,purple for cryn' out loud! a purple SBody DNA 40. I like the small mods and this one was at a price too nice to pass up. It just might be possible to swap the DNA 40 for a DNA 60 chip too.
Purple shouldnt be too bad. But I think you should have ordered the pink and give anyone who made a comment the evil eye ;)

Totally agree about the icare. I have two i use for stealth vaping. I also usually tuck one in my purse when I'll be out for a while just in case. And you can buy it for $13.99 at Sweet Vapes. So for $20 you have the mod and 5 coils.

Eleaf iCare 650mah
