Why so little love for side by sides?

The Gizmo may be something to consider.

I don't like them because I still have to use another mod for pulsing my coil, either on a new build, or to dry burn.

Notice how short the doge is on the ipv4?
I have this one set up with a nickel build..
at 42J and 475° it rocks..

You can dry burn on a Kato but I agree it's too restrictive to do on most side by sides.

That's good. You can't on a microstick.

I confirm.
The XvoStick is small enough comparing with others
And it uses the 18650 battery.

I was making side by sides almost before there were side by sides.

Anyone remember these?

No offense, but them box mods with atties on top are about the size of 3 of my ordinary pocket setups duct-taped together. Given, I do get less battery capacity. But my usual pocket setups are around 100mm tall, 22mm diameter - making the entire setup shorter and slimmer than the IPV alone. I could strap 4 spare batteries to their sides and still have a smaller setup.

No offense taken... Function, reliability and high performance are demands I get from my mods.. Dual batts go for days on a single charge too.. I'm also a big boy, with large hands and deep pant pockets.. These mods slide in and out with the greatest of ease..... actually these box mods seem rather small and compact to me.. The mechs on the left are not much taller than the 65mm batts they use..the tanks add a little more height to them, but not much....bottom line performance and the best vape possible trumps overall size, for me anyway.

Indeed very much a preference thing. Think we still can be friends

When I first bought a Gizmo, I did not like it very much at first. It was strange to have that button on the top rather than on the side.

A few hours later, I was already loving it. It was smaller, stealthier, and most of all, did not have a tendency of falling off my shirt pocket.

The fact that you could put it on a tabletop without the risk of it falling on it's side, and *then* rolling over to the ground was also great.

I wish they had made it for an 18650. Sure, a 18500 mod is smaller, but I would not mind it being 1.5 cm taller and having more battery life.

All things considered, I think side-by-side is a great concept.
