Buying A New Mod, Suggestions?

Alright, it's been a while since I've been on ECF, so I figured since I've got a reason to post - I will. My 150w box mod shorted out my batteries, and the firing button and + button broke so now they're loose and disconnected. I figured since the warranty is still valid I'd exchange it or get my money back. But note I will NOT order from fasttech or anything that'll have me waiting a month for my purchase to get here. My budget is $70/usd, so I know my options are a bit slim. But here's my average vape set up: usually under 50 watts, but I'd prefer at least 60 watts+ on my device (I'd be willing to go with a 30 watt, but it'd have to be amazing for me to consider it). Coils on my RDA were usually under 1.0ohm (.2ohms-.8ohms) I HATE built in batteries so something I could use my 18650's in would be ideal (preferably dual 18650 but I'm willing to compromise), mechanical box mods sketch me out so I'd rather not get one of those. I don't care about the brand, as long as it's reliable, fits my budget and most of my preferences. Now that you have a base, lay it on me. What do you think would be a good new mod for me? I'm willing to compromise, but not by much. Thanks guys, I appreciate any suggestions.  

I have been out of the game for a while and have just been using old mods/RTA's.

I am looking for suggestions on some of the best up to date mods as well as some of the best RTA that go with the mods.

Here is a little info...I usually vape at around 30-35 watts...

For the mod, I am looking for one that takes a single 1865 battery, is small in size, and is lightweight.

For the RTA, I am looking for a single coil DL tank....one that can hold at least 5ml of juice, can go with the mod suggested, and provides great flavor.

Can you guys please give me some suggestions? Thanks a lot  

So I'm looking into buying a temp controlled mod for my next purchase. Ideally, I would be getting the VaporFlask with the DNA40 board. Problem is, I dont have $300 usd to drop on it. Sooo....

I was thinking about the FT clone, and was about 3 clicks away from making the purchase when a friend tells me about the IPV4 pre-order over on the bay. The DNA40 has temp control and goes up to 40 watts (duh) but from what I have read, the IPV4 also has temp control and goes up to 100 watts. I'll never use all 100 watts BUT sometimes will vape above 40 watts. I like that both are dual 18650 and have the temp control function (I'm dying to play with some nickel wire) I'd really like some opinions

Any thoughts on the VaporFlask clones from FT? Would it be worth it for me to wait for the IPV4?

Cheers ECF!  

Hey guys well I am trying vaping out again after I just bought another mini nautilus and what not but I think I made the mistake of buying the itaste mvp2.0? I know its dropped to $38 but looking at recent batteries that came out i see stuff like the ileaf 20w istick and what not that is like the same price except with more power. Any suggestions on what i should have bought or did i make the right decision.  

As the title states, I have a question. A little information to preface; I'm using a snow wolf mfeng ux mod with a tfv16 tank, vaping at 115 watts. This is a dual 18650 mod, and been vaping fine for a while, using different tanks and wattage too. Lately when I vape, it feels like the firing bar on the side vibrates long a spring slips from a seat and does that old school door stopper wobble and it stops, but doesnt do it for other fires when I vape. My batteries are clean/healthy and undamaged wraps, 510 sections for mod and tank is clean, batteries only ever used in this mod.
I dont know what could be causing this, so I came here. What do yall thing it could be??


Tl;dr: When I fire my regulated mod, I feel a slight buzzing or vibrating in the fire bar and it's not supposed to. What is, what do?  

I've been using only twin-18650 mods for some time, and before the shipping ban came into effect, I bought a backup of my most-used mod (a Geekvape Aegis X), but since the 100W single 21700 / 18650 Voopoo Drag X Plus was only $35, I also picked up one of them as another backup.

I vape exclusively on RDA's, typically with a 3mm dual coil twisted build with 24 or 26 gauge Kanthal or nichrome-80. 5 or 6 wraps with 24 gauge, 6-8 wraps with 26 gauge. I typically vape these between 90 and 110 watts.

I did not expect to get a 'true' 90-100 watts out of the Drag X, so I set a target of around 60 watts. I mounted a 3mm dual coil twisted 28 gauge build with 6 wraps, which on my Aegis X vapes great at 60 watts, and very good at 50 watts. It measures at 0.45 ohms.

But on the Drag at 60 watts, it only vapes at what feels like 30 watts on my Aegis. Setting it higher makes no difference either, it seems to 'top out' at ~30 watts regardless of the setting. 60 watts @ 0.45 ohms is only around 11 amps, so I doubt I'm hitting an amperage limit.

I am using 18650 batteries (VTC5A), and it is about time to replace them, as I am only getting around 70% the battery life as I did when new. I will be picking up some 21700 batteries at the same time, which hopefully help with things on the Voopoo.

Does anybody have any good experiences with ~60 watt builds on a Drag X Plus?  

The 65 watt M65 I got is defective. So I'm returning it and replacing it with a new mod. But I'm stuck between 2 mods. The Smoktech X-Pro M80, or the Vape Connexx 150. Both look great but I'll give you a quick run down on the pros and cons of both.

Smoktech M80

Pros - 4400 mAh built in battery, 80 watts max power, .2-3.0 ohms, pass through vaping, decent sized and stylish.
Cons - only 80 watts, built in battery, 4400 mAh.

Vape Connex

Pros - like the bulkyness of it, huge firing button, 180 day warranty, interchangable 18650, magnetic back, .1-3.0 ohms.
Cons - no pass through, never heard of the brand.

So should I stick with a brand I know? Or risk it and get a really powerful mod? Any input is appreciated. Thanks y'all.  

A general question for your opinion please. Modern Mods and Mod Kits of all the different brands, are they all much the same regarding quality and reliability "Toyotas and VW's" and should one therefore shop by price and obviously cosmetics you prefer or is it worth paying a premium on some because they are Rolls Royce's and will last for longer (If you don't crash them.)?  

So I dug out 3 of my old Provari 2.5s with the extension caps ,I ordered 6 18650 button top batteries from 18650 batteries web site I have about 6 Berserkers a coupe of Geekvape Ammits and 3 2019 Kayfun minis tons of 28 gauge wire been building 1.5 ohm coils and wow it feels like 5 years ago lol , Anyway I just hope this whole thing with the FDA Pmtas just goes away if not I really hope a couple of my juice suppliers makes it thru I vape Heathers H vapes Dark Horse ,Black Note , Real tobacco Extracts ,Naturally Extracted Tobacco and rocket fuels reaper blend most all on a daily basis ,I do want to say this whole thing that's going on in this country is almost to the point of prejudice against people who vape I smoked for almost 35 years and finally quit in 2013 when I started with a Halo Triton and a Lavatube , I know I should be making my own juice just don't have the time ,and maybe buying a mech mod or 2 But I have about 10 VW/VV mods plus my 3 Provaris which are built like a tank ( I miss provape), well good luck to all  

I'm looking for internal battery box mods that has wattage option higher than 50 Watts. So far I've found Smok Xpro M80 Plus, which is an internal battery box mod with 80 Watts power at a great price. ($55) Is there any other internal battery box mods? MVP and Istick serieses are of course excluded here.
