What's a solid affordable box mod?

[DanJiblets]

Sorry I know there's tons of threads with info, but it's overwhelming. I have an istick 50, and an mvp 3. I don't need anything, but am just curious of something a step up from these. I wouldn't need higher than 50 watts. I see lots of talk of ipv4, sigelei, I don't even know what else lol. What's a great box mod under $100? Which has the best track record? And looks slick! I like the CoolVape4 that's coming soon.

vapor shark 30 was $69.99

Sigelei 150w is like $85 now.

Cool Fire 4--I like Innokin batteries.

Heatvape Defender 36W. New kid on the block.

Kanger Subox is generating a lot of excitement also. And it comes with a replaceable battery. Right now it's only offered as a kit (with Kanger Subtank), but I'm sure that eventually we'll be able to get the battery separately.

Actually I just saw the coolfire battery is only 2200. Also that's why the kbox turned me off, it uses 18650 battery. That's a new hassle I don't want, swapping out batteries. So I should've specified. I love the 4200 mah battery in the istick, I wouldn't want to downgrade that. I'll look at the others mentioned.

Perhaps I'll stick with the istick until something bigger and badder comes that suits my picky preferences lol. I like the ones mentioned, but I love having this battery last a couple days of subohming. At least having a guaranteed full day, then charging overnight is essential to me.

Istick 50 has a lot problems... I own iSticks 20 and 30, and although fun, their quality is questionable at best.

Your MVP 3 is a great battery.

Good luck!

I would strongly advise against it.

And especially if you own an iStick 50.

Vapershark DNA30 Small, quality. I like the 510 mount over my MVP3's. The VS was a lot more expensive, but has really come down in price.

As I mentioned to you in another thread in the Battery forum, the iStick is it if you dont want the 'hassle' of swapping batteries. There are plenty of dual battery boxes that will keep up with it. Everything youve mentioned, the IPV4, and the big Sigeleis, will require you to use 18650s. If you cant bother with changing batteries then just stay with the iStick until it melts down on you.

MVP. Hands down.

Lol. No I'm okay if it has dual batteries at least. Just not sure I want to make that jump or not. Maybe Kanger will eventually make an improved Subox with dual 18650s or something.

I'm just super picky and am now realizing it lol. I want spring loaded, at least 4000 mah, 50w (just in case), USB charging.
I have an mvp 3 already, I loved it until the connector came up a bit after a drop, now my tanks wobble a little bit. That and the weight and pointy corners caused a hole in my pants at work lol. It's a beast of a battery, but not ideal for me.

Smok m80 plus. Lot people have issues with them, I've been fortunate with mine. Just can't rely on the temperature control buy regular watts mode working good. Small, 80 watts, 4400 mah battery. Just a thought.

 

[smkfree]

For me, if I needed another Box Mod, I would still go with the Istick 50w.

I see that, looks pretty slick. I liked the gold one. It's around the same price as an istick.

Get them for 49.95 cool little boxes. No trouble with mine so far.

What about that new mvp pro that goes to 60W?

 

[TXBiker]

I have a vs 30w and love it and the dna board. I don't vape under .5 so higher wattage isn't an issue. The vs produces the same quality vape from beginning to cut off. The wife got me the rdna 40 because it was on sale scratch and dent and she wanted the 30w, which arrived perfect and it's the same way I can't find a fault for my needs. IMHo anything with a genuine dna or yihi board in it is worth the money. I've had both and liked them all. Isticks?? never again for me at least. Research, look in the threads, you can find what you want to know. At the end of the day it will be what works best for you.
