Hello AAEC - long time no see.
I'd like to get a new mod, and I'm looking for suggestions. My main mod is a 30w istick but it's old, battered, and the battery is starting to give out. I also have the tesla nano which I like aesthetically but it's a bit heavy and has this weird habit of jumping to 60w unexpectedly on rare occasions. This is not pleasant and destroyers the wick and coil, meaning I need to completely rebuild, not easy if you are out and about,so I rarely take it out of the house.
I vape 2mg liquid at 25w.
I'm looking for a small light box mod that will last a good while between charges,preferably with an internal battery, something around the same size as an istick would be ideal. Budget is up to around £60 but cheaper is better, and I want to buy from the UK, no slow boats for me.
Hit me with your suggestions - tried and tested thoughts only please!
I hope everyone is well, I always remember AAEC as being one of the friendliest places on the Internet.

I can't fault the evic mini, I find 18650s so much more convenient than rechargeables. But then that's just me.

That looks nice but with just a 18500 battery, how long does it last between charges?

Easy to change the bat or just charge via USB, whatever is easier. I wouldn't want a mod with inbuilt bat anymore coz the electronic usually lasts forever but the bat doesn't.

Thanks for the suggestions - I've been away from the shinyitis too long! I'm reading reviews etc.
Any love for the Eleaf Istick pico? It seems tiny and presumably works as well as the 30w version. I have 18650 batteries but haven't used them for a while so may need to replace them.
I have hordes of mechanical mods but my wattage needs have increased as I've dropped down the nicotine.

+1 for a pico. with regards to 18500s vape time I had a hana mini with a 18500 in it and wasnt too good at 12watts with a 1500mah battery. I think 1600mahs is the most youll get in a 18500 BICBW.
