Hi all, more help please as almost everything is broken and got to place an order today. Following the demise of my 3 Itaste VVs, 6 various Egos and now battery is almost dud on my trusty MVP decided it might be best to go with a Mod using rechargeable batteries (at least hopefully I'll only have to replace batteries). Have spent the whole morning checking out mods but cant really come up with anything suitable. Sorry if this is all a bit basic but am trying to get my head round mods now. Would like a small regulated box mood that you dont have to take the back off to change battery. Low VV with 510 connection (using Aspire K1 at present). Budget less than £100 to include charger/batteries. Have an incoming Istick but these may not be all that reliable. All suggestions really appreciated with a link to supplier if possible with stock as getting desperate and cant see me heading back to stinkies. Thanks

Vapourshark mini or rdna would be my choice based on your specs but a little over your budget I'm afraid.

Do you want china or uk purchase?
If you dont mind waiting I would recommend the hana mod box from Focalecig (AAECVAPERS for dissy)
Have you tried looking at mvp? Lots of retailers do them and highly recommended I think theres one on classies for 20 squid if any help.

Hi shez, I feel your pain! There's nothing worse than having gear fail on you. Here are some suggestions, although I'm sure that others will flood in soon: Firstly, the trusty MVP2 - great battery life, and would be a worthy backup for your iStick Then there's the Vamo v6 Full Kit - my suggestion here would be to get some more batteries in whichever size you prefer. The Vamo has been around for a couple of years now and is good and reliable. Lastly there's the Sigelei Legend Full Kit - not had any experience of this, but looks like a good setup, and again extra batteries will be useful. Hope this helps - it is all a very personal choice for you, but within your budget there is stacks of choice to avoid you going back to the dreaded stinkies! Post here again if you need more advice ETA: left out a link!!

My MVP battery is loosing charge very quickly now (but has lasted for about 5 months of irregular use) so not keen on getting another. I don't thank that's too shabby - equates to less than £8 per month, £2/wk, for good reliable vaping. Some of the other alternatives I linked to probably wouldn't last that much longer; these items don't have an infinite lifespan, and are in actual fact quite cheap to own and run.

Yes, if you work it out that way not too shabby but if I splashed out on an Vapourshark rdna with a replaceable battery wouldnt it last me longer. (Sorry if my questions are a bit basic just want something reliable...)

(Sorry if my questions are a bit basic just want something reliable...) It would certainly last you longer based on battery failure as you could replace battery very cheaply. You Just need to find them in stock from a reputable vendor now

shez - too true, batteries can be bought from reputable vendors on eBay - ask here for links - for around £16 per pair, and a pair of batteries should last you easily a year. I have a pair of trusty Panasonic 18650s which are almost 18 months old, and still going strong. They get rotated every day and are performing really well all things considered. Your next challenge will be to find a good box-mod in your price range that is in stock - the vaping world seems to be going crazy over these at the moment, and the only reliable place you can find them is from China, but that incurs a wait of 2-3 weeks.
