Variable Voltage Reo Mini with boost circuit...

I would pay $300 for one, the smaller the better.
Anyone else, or is it just me?
Not for me but a booster in an 18650, now we're talking.
There's no free lunch with VV. If the Mini still only had one battery (to meet your "smaller" requirement), it would need a boost circuit to raise the voltage. Even if the circuit is 100% efficient (it won't be), it would raise the amount of current drawn by at least the amount of set coil voltage divided by the battery voltage. This, of course, will reduce battery charge life. The Mini's 14500 only has 600 mAH to begin with. You wouldn't get much for your $300.
Same here. I don't have much experience with variable mods, just a Kick & a VVG. While I do like the VVG & it's a keeper I could live without it. I prefer to use my Grand & Mini 2.1 more.
I'd don't have any experience with the Twists/Spinners, or the technology they use for VV. Do they really deliver 650 mAH with a 2Ω carto, for example? Or are they 650 mAH eGo batteries which suffer the same higher use of mAH due to VV? Do they get less mAH than a standard 650 mAH eGo, or is the battery larger to compensate (use of battery capacity isn't linear--at higher current draw, battery capacity is less) ? I'm afraid I can't make that comparison for you. But it is a good one.

I was very concerned about using an unregulated mod before I bought my Reo Grand (now my favorite mod by far). I could not understand how it could provide a decent vape as the battery drained from 4.2V to 3.4V as it was used. But after having one for several months now I use my unregulated Reo Grand + Reomizer 2.0 and Nzonic v3 + Hornet way more than my regulated mods.
I use a Reomizer 2.0 every day and I don't see a reason not to use an RBA on a Reo. From just reading they seemed too complicated, but after just a few tries I realized that the Reomizer 2.0 is pretty easy.
1) With an unregulated AW IMR 18650 1600mAh the bulk of the vape is at 3.9-3.6V so the swing is a lot less in practice. And you can always change batteries sooner if you want to make it even smaller. I don't but to each his own.
2) With the Reomizer 2.0, or other RBA's built properly, the vape quality is very consistent through the voltage range described. I really don't notice the voltage drop at all. It just vapes all day long.
With those two points in mind I would not want to add complexity and failure points to get regulation. The way I vape and use my Reo Grand + Remoizer 2.0 I just don't see a benefit to offset the risks.
