I totally don't need a new mod. Which obviously means I HAVE to buy one.
Ordered a new tank last night so clearly need a new mod to put it on (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!).
Requirements.
I have a smok m80 a coolfire 4 and a 40w istick so not those as I fancy something new.
Built in battery or usb charge port (I no longer have a charger and have no intentions of buying one).
40w minimum. I usually vape around 20 besides when using a dripper then it's around 40/50.
Spring loaded 510. SS threads.
Budget is a firm £40
UK sellers preferred.
Anyone have any suggestions?

What about a subox kit from my epack for £50 then sell the subtank? you would need a 18650, but it can be charged via the USB?

I've seen a few reviews mention god awful battery life. Is that not the case? It's ok in VW mode, is a bit more power hungry in TC mode though. A freshly charged battery lsts me a day and half although i don't tend to use the same device all day, usually have a couple of mods on the go at once.

I'm not interested in TC and a day and a half is good enough for me.

Yeah i'm not sure how these people who say they get through a battery in 4 or 5 hours manage it, they must be constantly chain vaping at high watts or something. Like i said i do tend to have a couple of mods on the go rather than just the one but even taking that into account they must be caning the thing. With a Subtank Mini at 25-30w which seems to be the kind of thing you'll be using it for it lasts between a day to a day and a half with a 25r battery.

I kind of have a short list. The sig 75 The IPV D2 The istick 100w The MVP 3 pro. The smok kooper mini.

Jerri are you aware the IPV D2 doesn't do stepdown? Might not be an issue depends on what resistance you vape at but if you vape at 0.5ohm for instance it will fire at 30w on a fully charged battery even if you set it lower. It will always only fire down to the volts the battery can deliver on it's charge. You can use an ohms law calculator to see the minimum watts a fully charged battery will deliver for different resistances. www.steam-engine.org/ohm.asp

I've had the failing mod syndrome over the last couple of weeks. So ended up buying two sig 75's and built a box myself using a Vamo 40w chip Jerri. I use a sub tank mini @ 20w and get a day out of a Sammy 25r using that mod only. Have to agree with Get Off My Cloud, I wouldn't say its any better or worse than any other single 18650 device I've had, in normal power mode.
