Will I be safer with something newer?

[Joie]

I have used isticks and EGO batteries for years. Now am thinking based on things I have read here that I should go to a mod with a replaceable battery.
My kids are now getting int vaping ( thanks to me being off cigs for 3 yrs ) and I want them to chosse the right equipt. also.
What is a good way to go?
Still want something small....don't like the huge mods that dont fit in my hand comfortably and still need to be incognito at work ....lol

Go with an iStick mini

I've been eyeing the provari mini myself. Hi Joie!

 

[Joie]

But that is an enclosed battery correct.....I have that one. I was reading I should have one that is VENTED....but I sure see alot of sales and praises for the Istick20, 30 and 50's all over the boards..........

if you want something small why not continue to go with the egos? the protections are all there and its hard to beat that performance for their size and safety features.

The iSticks have venting through the usb charging port, for whatever that's worth...

If you don't need to vape over 15 watts and can reasonably afford one, it would be hard to beat a Mini Provari. Prices start under $100. Provape prides itself with making the safest and most reliable vaporizors on the market.

Why Provari?

Mini Provari 2.5

Regardless of what you choose mod-wise, one which uses removeable IMR batteries will be safer. These are safe-chemistry batteries. Mods which use a non-removeable internal battery (like the iSticks) use LiPo chemistry batteries, which is not safe-chemistry and could result in fires or explosions.

ok....then I guess a-shopping I will go....I really am not comfortable with being NON-safe anymore.
Scares me that something could happen.....and especially since I now have the kids to worry about....a parent always does no matter how old they are.
All of us vape at 8-9 watts or less so there is no sub-ohming going on.

Smallish single 18650 mods for $50ish. Lots more out there, but these are a few that came to mind. I have heard mixed reviews on the Invader Mini, but the other 2 are supposed to be great devices. I put the ivader on there because I've seen videos of folks trying to destroy with very little success. They are just about bulletproof. It's the internals I have seen mixed opinions on.

Istick 50w and subtank mini

 

[Margucci]

There is nothing wrong with sub ohm. Your kids might like it. I stand by the ego setups. They are a great size, capable of sub ohm if you want to try it out, and they are well priced. Their big downsides are lack of adjustments and nonswappable batteries. However there are now temp control versions which is interesting.

 

[Joie]

what are some examples or links to the Ego's that can sub-ohm

 

[Hans Wermhat]

eGos are designed for high resistance vaping. Like 1.5 ohms and up. Unless you are looking at the Ego One. Totally different animal.

The Provari Mini that @Baditude mentioned is a good choice, I have been using a Sigelei Mini 30W for vaping around 8-10W for a long time now. Its a nice and small box mod that takes a single 18650, and if your just vaping at low wattage's you do not need a 30A battery as they recommend, but there are some good 3000mAh batteries with 20A CDR if you want to sub ohm out there!

with temp control (does sub ohm) - http://www.joyetech.com/product/ego-one-vt/
without temp control (sub ohm as well) - http://www.joyetech.com/product/ego-one/
same as previous but larger size - http://www.joyetech.com/product/ego-one-mega/

there are also mini models too.

 

[Joie]

Wow. Provari prices have really come down.........
Hi-----MCOL

This might be confusing. A lot of people think of eGo class batteries as the 350 - 1100 eGo series and the Spinners and other similar devices. My guess is Joyetech is either trying to leverage the familiar name, trying to re-brand it or both.

With 2 or 3 good batteries, a battery case, and a good charger you won't be disappointed. Tootle heaven, and about as safe as you can be.
