Why 21700...?

[Str8vision]

I bought a couple eleaf Pico S 21700 100w mods a couple months back from Artisan Vapor Co. They were on clearance for $17.70 a pop. Pretty nice mods. Same size as the Pico Squeeze 2 squonkers (also 21700).

I use Pico Squeeze 2 squonk mods, they're what converted me to using 21700 batteries. They came with a sleeve that allows use of an 18650 but I hated using it so started buying 21700s, certainly glad I did.

I recently bought six more Squeeze 2's directly from Eleaf while on clearance for $19 ea. They charged me $22 shipping so each mod actually cost around $23 but even that was a great buy. Would've bought more but that's all they had left, they're now discontinued.

Battery life and weight have always been important to me.

The old 18350's had to be seemingly constantly changed and were a PITA in the charger. 18650's were much better (up to 3000mah) but were marginal on lasting all day. (I don't own very many) While I've owned some dual 18650 mods over the years they were usually not the first mod I'd reach for because of size and weight. As a compromise I started getting 26650 mods. They would last much longer than the 18650 ones but then finding new/good batteries of that size became problematic I started looking at the new (at the time) 21700's.

I also own a dozen or more Pico Squeeze2's that take 21700's and a 1/2 dozen regular Pico's (also 21700) and a 1/2 dozen or more other brands that take 21700's. (I also got a VERY good price on my Picos!)

The 21700's last all day, are not to large or heavy and can be got with 5000mah capacities.

I get Molicel/NPE INR-21700-P42A 45A 4200mAh Flat Top 21700 Battery's for $5.86ea.

I agree, however the exception to that rule are the Vaporesso Revenger and Revenger X mods. These are two dual 18650 mods that are surprisingly so tiny. It's mind boggling how tiny they are. Smaller in the hand than the Aegis Max.

Then again, - full disclaimer - this is the mod+tank that kept me vaping to/from work for years:

I never cared about the battery life as I'd just plug it into a USB cord when I got to work.

Here's my solution when size and weight is not a issue:

that is right - DUAL 26650's! Outfitted with a Atlantis Mega, this setup will last a whole weekend camping trip.
