Wanting to buy a box mod, which one?

[botibill]

Just got back into vaping about a month ago and things sure have changed a lot. I have been using a Vamo with the first Protanks and using some iClear 16's and 30's with it. The vape quality is pretty good with this equipment. When I first got back into vaping all i kept seeing was all of the sub ohm stuff, so I bought the CF sub ohm battery and an Aspire Atlantis sub ohm tank but they seemed to hit just too hard for me. One thing about the CF sub ohm battery is that it tells you nothing about your battery level and it you can't check out anything about the device you put on it. I think what I want next maybe a little box mod. I don't think I need one of the 100 to 150 watt kind. I have been looking at the MVP20 v.2 and the iTaste MVP20. I would like to have something that puts out a good cloud of vapor and gives good flavour of the juice. I don't want to spend a lot of dollars either because my vape budget is a little low right now. Any help you all can give me on device and tanks would be greatly appreciated because I'am driving myself and my wife nuts checking all the different websites out. Thank you in advance.

A little more information would help.

Price? Give us your max price you have in your budget right now.

Features? Anything specific ..feature wise.. you want or are interested in?

Battery? Do you prefer an internal or one that can be taken out. If you want a mod with a serviceable battery do you have the proper batteries and charger? (I assume you have a charger if using the Vamo, but the batteries might not be the greatest for the newest generation of mods).

Let us know and I'm sure you'll get plenty of suggetions to take a look at.

My price range is $50 to $75. I would like to have an internal battery so I charge it via an usb port and I do have some eFest 18650 batteries for the Vamo. I would like to have a nice screen on the device so I can keep and eye on things. Also when it comes to tanks and such I would like the ones that have pre built atomizers. i don't build my own yet and that might happen down the road a bit. I just like simple things that work good. I know I sound picky but I really don't want to have to buy stuff I don't know how to operate. Thanks for your help , I really appreciate it.

Sounds like an

Istick 30W around $40
Aspire Nautilus or Nautilus Mini: $26 to $30

Thats just my opinion, just picked up the Nautilus and an Istick 30 for a friend who was in the same situation as you and he loves it. The sub-ohm stuff isn't his cup of tea but he still has a device that will support it if that's what he wants to do in the future.

Good suggestions, but rather than the Nautilus I'd recommend the Kanger Subtank Mini. The Nautilus coils only handle up to 6 volts so you would not be able to use all of the power of the iStick 30w. I personally don't like pushing my Nautilus coils past 10-12 watts.

Personally my vote is a Pioneer4you iPV Mini and Kanger Subtank Mini (has pre built coils at 1.2 ohms and 0.5 ohms and option to build your own later).

I'd suggest the new iStick 50w, with it's 4400mah battery, and instead of the Nautilus Mini, I"d suggest the Kanger Sub Tank mini.

The Sub Tank mini comes with a .5 ohm head, so you can try sub ohm vapping, a 1.2 ohm head, and a RBA so when you want to, you can build your own coils!

Amazing taste from the Subtanks, no leaks and it'll easily get you through a full day with the Subtank on top of an ELeaf Istick 50w!

What's amazing is, you can pick up the IStick 5o w, for as low as $48-50! Check here....

There seems to be a consensus going on here....

 

[peraspera]

Get the iStick30 or iStick40 and hold off on buying a new tank. You may find that the ability to crank down the power for your Atlantis might make it work wonderfully for you. If it doesn't I would add my vote for getting the Subtank Mini.

its a no brainer, subtank over the nautilus any day every day.
i have both, even though i loved the nautilus b4 at this point in time i cannot vape on it anymore as the subtank never leaves my lips

 

[Mark Spivey]

If the question on tanks were to have been asked two months ago I would have said an Aspire Nautilus... that's when I bought mine. I'm happy with it. Given that they rolled out the Subtank Mini that would be my choice today. I also bought an iPV Mini two months ago and love it. It has enough for me to easily run my Fogger V6 with 0.7 ohm builds. Just wish they hadn't rolled out the 70W (Ver 2) so soon to when I got the 30... LOL.

 

[disco180]

When I first got back into vaping all i kept seeing was all of the sub ohm stuff, so I bought the CF sub ohm battery and an Aspire Atlantis sub ohm tank but they seemed to hit just too hard for me.

I would have also said the Sub Tank Mini but with the above statement, I thought that the Nautilus would be a better option.

 

[botibill]

Thanks for all the suggestions, it has helped out a lot.

 

[asvaldr]

Btw if atlantis is hitting too hard for you, maybe you can try the 1ohm coil first instead of buying a new tank and safe the money lol but if it is still not to your liking then maybe the nautilus is a good choise or kayfun v4 or orchid if you want to delve into the world of rebuildable.

About the mod, if you look for a small compact design i suggest you to look at ipv mini or sigelei mini. Aand for the power maybe sigelei 150 or the ipv4. Both of the sigelei and the ipv series are a very good quality affordable mod.

The i stick series on the other hand are affordable but kind of a gamble because of the quality control

 

[botibill]

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I made a decision on the iStick 30 with the kanger nano tank. It fit into my budget and we have a local vape store a few miles away for me to buy new heads and if I decide to build my own coils then I could get me a Kanger mini. I think 30 watts will do me just fine and I checked a lot of reviews for them and everyone said it was a great little box mod. I got everything from MyVapor online store in a kit for 71.00 with shipping. I'm happy and look forward to vaping on this set-up. Plus with the ego adapter I can still use my iClear and Protanks as well. Once again thanks for all the advice everyone. I'll let you know how it works when I get it. Happing vaping days are here again.

A little late as you have chosen already.

The MVP20W is a super reliable, rugged performer that is also very affordable.

Innokin quality is great.

I absolutely love mine and it performs great with any tank I tried.
(Iclear 30B, Gladius and Aspire Nautilus)

I get a really great vape with the Nautilus, 1.6 ohm BDC coils 100%VG unflavored 24mg Nic.

A 30w mod will be a good step forward, while watching the price. I always have a spare, just in case, or to use while the first is charging.

Watts chasing and sub-ohming just costs a lot, for a little. Good flavor/clouds still happen without chasing the costly items.

 

[botibill]

I still have the Vamo with the 18650 batteries to use while the IStick is charging. Knowing me I'll buy something else later but for now I think I will be happy. Thanks everyone.

Have used an I-Taste VTR for the last 3 months. In and out of my pocket while performing manual work. Tough Unit - Really Impressed.

Vape around 7.5/8w with Innokin 30's as supplied with the VTR or Mini Nautilus. - Both give good flavour and Vapor. Don't know why peeps vape at high wattage.

Personally my vote is a Pioneer4you iPV Mini and Kanger Subtank Mini (has pre built coils at 1.2 ohms and 0.5 ohms and option to build your own later).

I totally agree with the IPV mini. I have the IPV Mini 2 and that goes to 70 watts. Seems like a lot but as I see it sooner or later you will end up there. As for not wanting batteries and wanting it to be an internal charge I disagree with that. I always carry extra batteries in my Vap bag just for the fact I'm not always around a wall outlet or computer. It would suck to lose a charge out in about then what. As for the sub tank mini can't go wrong with that. This is just my
