Hi all, I'm after a mini box mod that takes a single 18650 and will also step down. I have the ipv mini one which works great but isn't that mini, I wanted something a little stealthier for the train so went to a shop in barrow where I was working to get something. They didn't have anything other than the clouper mini, the bloke was honest and told me what I already new, don't charge through the USB as 1 in 4 he sells get returned because of that also not the best built. In fact he said he hated them and wouldn't recommend it but if I still wanted one just for the train/stealth/backup he would knock the price down to 25 quid, hey ho I thought and bought one. However! I now realise that it doesn't step down and I build my subtanks at .5ohms so literally have to vape at 30 watts (or more ?1?) all of the time. Not good for stealth. I I set my heart on the ipv d2 but have just realised that doesn't do step down either! I don't fancy the sig 30 watt as I change attys A LOT and have heard a lot of people bemoaning the poor threads. So! Any suggestions for a 18650 box mod around the size of the clouper or d2 that isn't a the sig and does step down? I'm a bit stumped now! Thanks in advance
Chris.

Kanger kbox mini - uses pulse width to step down. Hard to find it without the subtank.

Bit pricey but the hcigar vt40 is small and as the dna40 gold chip I'm not techy and don't really get what step down is. I just watch reviews on the latest stuff and when this was newish out pulled the trigger. Other than the earth screw I think it is coming loose (probably my fault) it's been a great mod. In temp mode my batteries seem to last forever. I'm not sure it's good for stealth Vaping though. I don't think the display can be turned off and it's very bright. Also in temp mode most people are getting more vapour due to the nature of the builds. I'll also add I've forgotten what a burnt hit is like using this. Jay

Toondog I only use my IPV d2 in temp mode but I'm sure I have read a work around for step down with kanthel, you just use joules instead.... Google...

The authentic evic vtc mini is a dinky size ... Dirt cheap on FT but quite a wait.

Jay 5 clicks Locks the device jay then hold the fire and down button for 5 secs to go into stealth mode (black screen) very stealth imho

Thanks for all of your input peeps, I ended up grabbing an Evic VTC mini from a b&m whilst working in Barrow, a little computer shop that has a sideline (considerable sideline) in vape stuff. I simply love it. I've got three titanium builds on the go now and they're all performing flawlessly. Don't think I'll use the power mode after all! But when I did (for about two hours) it was great. Feels fab in the hand, solid but dinky and the screen is just excellent. Cheers
Chris.
