Sorry to bother you all but I'm looking for a 60 watt plus mod that can be USB charged as I don't have a battery charger :/
Something that can fire down to 0.1 or 0.2 would be good. Prefer bigger mods as it's to replace my mvp 3.0.
I was gonna go for the istick 100 watt from dna vapes with the pair of LG hd2 batteries but wasn't sure if I could get better batteries elsewhere?
Budget can't go over £60 or cheaper is preferable which is why I'm going for USB charging and I'll get a charger next month.
As always any help appreciated - cheers guys and gals!
Edit: it's to run a uwell crown I got today.

How about the cuboid from either totally wicked or joyetech. with their discount code, it comes in at £46 with 2 sony vtc batteries. Although you can chrage form the usb port, I would spend some of the £60 on a charger this month. uk source nitecore i4 = £8.99.

I would suggest an evic mini which you should pick up for less than £25, VGFM for a feature packed hand friendly and popular mod. you can buy 2 x 25r 18650's and a basic 2 cell charger and still have change to invest in an atty or juice too..

No reason not to get a cuboid instead. It's newer and supports 2 batteries, but eh.

Thats a nice piece of kit. I might order myself one of those!
Looks like I've got myself a vape guru!

I think BOTH the Evic VT TC Mini and the CUBOID are great MODS, as said above if you get a CUBOID then a separate charger is the best although as long as you keep the same batteries in the CUBOID to charge via USB you should be OK, IMO the separate charger is a "belt & braces" thing, if you USB charge just take a little extra care. (do not charge unattended). I have 2 Evic's and if I expect to be away from a charger for a while I just take extra batteries with me 2 x 2500 mAh batteries used after each other in the Evic should give around the same vape time as 2 x 2500 mAh batteries in the CUBOID. I prefer the slightly smaller form factor of the Evic.

No, not a vape guru by any means. There is much more knowledgeable people than me around here. What I share is just what has worked for me, personally. If I find a product good then I'll recommend it.

So... the Cuboid and the charger arrived today! Looks great, I must admit I'm a little nervous using it... Batteries are fully charged now and waiting for me to finish work and have a play around, however earlier today I had a quick blast with the uwell crown using the 0.5 stock heads and was suprised they worked with temp control? I've changed to watts for now as that is what I'm used to, I'm gonna do some research this week but wanted to ask if there was anything I should be aware of regards temp. control as I've never used it before? Will all the stock heads for the Uwell crown work in TC mode on the cuboid? Sorry for stupid questions, just don't want to blow my face off as it's a big step up for me

I could be wrong, but the SS 0.5 heads have nickel legs and it can incorrectly report the temp and as such aren't suitable for temp control, but don't take my word for it I'm not entirely sure!

Your spot on, strangely the 0.5 coils switch from SS in TC mode to normal power on my Cuboid, ( down to the legs being as described above) yet my 0.25 SS coils also on the Uwell Crown work well on the TC ss316 setting. Slightly baffled, is it possible the .25 coils are not constructed the same?

I'll just stick to watts for now then lol, I'm not overly fussed by TC but thought it would be a good idea to at least learn in case I want to try
