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.
My Vape Connexx 150w mod finally died on me after countless chip errors and the buttons caving in on themselves. This is the third mod I've had break on me, so that's why I'm asking you all for suggestions. My max price is $90/USD (that's the refund I'll be getting for my mod). Now I usually vaped around 40-60 watts, builds about .2ohms-.9ohms and what have you. I like the looks of something hefty and bulky, sleek and modern/futuristic or wood mod. I'd prefer something that will fire down to .1ohms, interchangeable batteries (HATE fixed batteries), 50-260 watts and RELIABLE. I'm tired of them breaking on me, so I'd prefer y'all give further suggestion due to my bad luck with mods, but with the information given, what could y'all suggest? I'd appreciate anything.
Side note: I'd rather not order from Fasttech or something like that, making me wait a month until my mod gets here.
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.
Hi, so I have several different brands of 18650 batteries but I'm getting ready to pick up the new Geekvape Aegis X, I wanted to get some new batteries. I have been reading up on it but I'm so confused, I don't vape very high wattage It's always under 50 watt, 45 usually being the most, so what would be the best batteries for long activity? Any input would really help. Thanks
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?
I'm currently using an Aleader Obit 80 and I really like it. It's been the most reliable and delivers the vape I like. This one has held up for over probably 3 years now and is still going. Unfortunately, I dropped it recently and broke the resin case, taped it back and is still working.
Anyways looking for something to replace it with. I have tons of 18650 batteries and prefers for it to be light weight.
I'm seeing a lot of built in battery mods these days, not sure what's the deal with that.
I'm almost two years into vaping and it has been great.
I've been using a VW Ehuge 35 watt 26650 mod with a Kanger Subtank. Its huge and heavy but the battery lasts a long time. Also been using an Innokin Coolfire 2 with a Gladius tank.
Figured it was time to upgrade. Been watching several review videos to see whats out there. A lot of new sub ohm tanks and they all seem pretty good.
I've never had a box mod and figured it was time. Bought a Cloupor T6 recently to put my Subtank on. The T6 is supposed to be a 100 watt device. The Kanger coil only goes to 30 watts so no big deal there.
I really like the T6. Pretty small for a 26650 mod. Surface is slippery though, need to get a wrap for it. Butons are nice any clicky. The battery cover has magnets which is nice, no screw driver needed. Feels solid and the internals are clean. Its thick and the 25mm Subtank fits nicely on it.
Recently after watching some videos, I came across a new kinda unknown Sub Ohm Clearo. Its the Freemax Starre Sub Ohm. .5ohm or .25ohm coils. Mine came with the .5ohm. The .5ohm is rated 20-60 watts and the .25ohm is rated 20-100 watts. Reviewers were all impressed with the vapor and taste of this device. So I ordered one.
Wow, OMG, this Freemax Starre rocks. Blows away my Kanger Sub Tank in vapor production and flavor. Holds 5ml and the air holes are huge. Surgical Stainless Steel and Surgical Cotton used in the coil. Amazing.
After some more research, I discovered the Cloupor T6 really doesn't put out 100 watts. Well, that makes sense as its only a single battery device.
So went to the local vape shop today and bought a Sigelei 150 watt to put the Freemax Starre on. Will order some .25ohm coils soon.
Lovin the Sigelei so far. Magnets on battery cover, comes with a silicone gel case, nice clicky buttons, takes 2 18650. Its taller and wider than the T6 but not as thick. One thing it lacks that the T6 has is a USB charging port.
The Freemax Starre fits perfectly on it. The Kanger Sub Tank is wider than the Sigelei but fits perfect on the T6.
Really enjoying both of these box mods.

So i was thinking of starting a thread which might list every mod past and present which would be compiled by you from one day to the next. At first i thought it wouldn't be practical because no one would know if a mod had been added unless they read through the entire thread.
Then i thought if a list from A though Z were compiled systematically by members by copying and pasting the most recent list in this thread, and then contributing to it, ensuring your entries are inserted alphabetically (Even if it's only one or two mods), then eventually this thread could contain pretty much every mod that exists, and would be updated regularly, by you !. No pictures please !. Only brief descriptions such as "company name / name of mod / type of mod".
What better place for such a list than ECF, "The world's largest e-cigarette website.
Here's my contribution to start it off :
____________________________________________
Pioneer4you IPV 3 150 watt box mod (2 18650 batteries)
Pioneer4you IPV 4 100 watt box mod (2 18650 batteries)
Provape Provari V2.5 "Polished stainless steel" tube mod (1 18650 battery)
SIGELEI 100 watt Plus box mod (2 18650 batteries)
Smoant Charon TS 218 box mod (2 18650 batteries)
Tesla advanced vapourizer 6 volt -15 watt VV/VW Tube mod (single 18650 battery).
Vamo V7 40 watt tube mod (Single 18650 battery)
Voopoo Too 180 watt tc box mod (2 18650 batteries)
________________________________________
it's a list of all the mods i own at this present time.
If you're going to add to the list then you can add any mods you can think off as long as you place those mods into the existing alphabetical order ( description should start with the company name). Batteries such as, say, vision twist aren't mods so lets not get into those. Tube mods and box mods (Includes internal/built in battery mods) only please (Squonkers included)
And lets not forget Mechanicals.
If you think a previous desciption is incorrect then correct it.
Ensuring company names come first in your description will enable a logical, consistant "alphabetical" understanding of the list by anyone who views it.
If you don't know the name of the company who made the mod just insert the name of the mod etc.
So I was doing some research on what my next mod will be for my new sub ohm tank with its .25 ohm coil and my decision was originally between a Sigelei 150 and a Smaug 150w but then I went to Luxyoun's website and saw the Luxyoun Mac 150 Watt. I thought for sure I would have to go with a box mod to get over 100 watts, which I originally hated the idea of because I would much rather have a cylinder mod. I can't find almost any information on this device so its hard to decide whether to get it or not. I think cylinder mods look wayy better than box mods and are way easier to carry and feel better to hold so this might be the perfect mod for me. It uses one 26650 battery so there will be a long battery life and a high amp rating unlike a 18650 cylinder mod. I know it will be thicker than a 18650 cylinder mod but I'm fine with that over a box mod. Does anyone know of any cons about this mod? If you know anything about this device please post because I can't find a single review on it. Thanks!!

Well , I aint even gonna say much this thing is better than any mech mod out there . You guys told me to start building higher ohm coils and i did , I build a 2.3 ohm coil . My 2*18650 box mod performed like .... with it , I had to hold the button for 2 - 4 secconds before draw and i still got minimal vapor . So i got the istick 50w , i set it to just half of its full potention , 25W and it is firing up the 2.3 ohm coil as soon as I press the button and I am getting extreme vapor production . Also size i knew it will be small , but i can not believe how small it actually is , absolutely amazing , build quality is also amazing . I should have moved from mech mods to VW a long time ago .
im looking for a new mod budget (50ish dollars) would this $47.37 ATHENA Smart-60PB VW Variable Wattage APV Box Mod - 5-60W / 1*26650 / aluminum / black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping be good, and do i need to get any batteries for that i currently have 2x of 18650 batteries
