Well, 26650 isn't necessarily exclusive to high power usage. There are also high capacity cells for example the Keeppower IMR26650 5200mAh which will run twice as long as say a VTC5 when used with, e.g. a coil of 1.2ohm at 12 watts. It says "ultra high drain" on the sticker but it's actually tested better at 3amps than at 30amps.

It could be good for someone who has found they often need to carry a spare battery with the regular Xvostick.

Also, the MiniTank is nice because it takes marries the Subtank coils with the Merkava top filling.

I'm getting a day-plus with the 3000mAh LG's, but I vape at around 11w. If he made something with Nauti coils (similar to Kabuki), I'd jump on it. $35 IS a good price for such a quality tank - that's for sure.

Nice one Wisk! I also favor the smaller form factor though.....but still if I didn't own one already...I might have been in doubt which to choose....I like the longer batttery life

I do like the minitank, I have got a ton of Subtank coils laying around for all the subtanks that have been moved from rotation because someone in this thread, who shall not be named , suggested a Kabuki ....but might give that one a try....but I think the delivery costs will kill it for me, and would have liked it to be smaller....have to think about it a bit

and it appears that it will allow you to use the Kanger STM RBA kit for those that like to rebuild.

Who was that?

 

[drugarth]

I'll just leave one hint...starts with DP and ends on longo22...but that's all I give away
Dude cost me a bundle on Buki's....but loving it ;-)

SERIOUSLY???? NOT good, Dru.

Thanks for the warning though - I'll be sure to avoid him.

Some freaking people, I tell ya...

 

[Freedom2Vape]

Yeah, that Longo fellow, along with his cohorts, has ended up costing me a bit of coin for new tanks (testing one right now)!

Dont have a xvo yet and serioulsy thinking about the pro. There are problems with 26650s to be honest. First there arent that many decent cells around, far far fewer than 18650s. The other
issue that they vary a lot in size - much more than 18650s. Particulalry in length which, in my limited experience can vary by as much as 3mm between brands. So, will the batt screw cap take that kind
of variation without sticking out above the top of the mod?!?!

 

[drugarth]

@TheotherSteveS on my regular Xvostick there is no variation...it's sits precisely flush with a 18650...and there is no spring for a bit of play.
If the battery is a bit short that would be less of an issue I guess (the cap will be slightly reccesed, but so does it with my clone, and it is visually no issue), but if the battery is to tall I guess it would stick out a bit, which would annoy me more.

And I wouldn't want to go any wider, which the Pro does. Any wider and I'd opt for my Billet Boxes, every day. As it stands, I alternate (different vapes, plus the BB is a bit more convenient). But at the current size, it's very doable. No larger though (for me).

What wattage do you normally vape at, @TheotherSteveS ?

 

[Freedom2Vape]

I tried one of the nipple top AW batteries in the XvoStick and the cap wouldn't sit flush - it wasn't bad, though. The device worked, but I prefer the flush fit of a flat top 18650. Still enjoying the device, but as DP said and I agree, the 18650 fits great in my hand. I'm not sure how I would like it if it were wider. Just my .

Between us, we've almost got ourselves a nickel!

Im a tootle puffer even in TC (which is all I do btw) so I am seldom over 30W. If I want a blowout I have a DNA200 for that! It was more for the mAh than anything. The point about the size is the biggest one I think. The xvo for me was initially attarctive because it is a compact package, even with a big 22mm atty on board. Something I can use all day. To be honest, the new Lite seems like a great deal. I can live with the slight aesthetic compromise for a saving of >$50. Probably the one I will go for. I'll probably pick up the new atty also while I am there. Rude not to for $30 and I like the ST RBA decks very much. Great beater atty to be honest!

Thanks guys and girls! I'll let you know what I end up doing!

Good luck, Steve. Grab two or three HG2's, and you'll probably be good for a day. Plus you can charge via USB in a pinch.

We'll be interested to know what you decide.

That is awesome ... how shall we spend our windfall?

I KNOW!

We should contact a financial planner, I think.
