I've got 3 cage mods thebishman. Athena envy, Eleaf aster RT, and the smoant v2. The best for size is the smoant, nice compact and easy to navigate. The Athena is a good cm wider, but the 510 is deeper. I use the Kayfun 5 on it in wattage mode. Does some rum things though. Now and again when taking the atty off, it goes to 32 watts when replaced. Everything else goes on the smoant. The Eleaf is a bit strangrly shaped. Built in 4400 mah runs it for ages though. That goes with me on overnighters and definitely only takes 22ml. Kayfun 5 fits.
If I had to chuck two away, I'd keep the smoant.

Thanks for this. I did see the eleaf aster on ft... are there 2 types of aster mods? As in cage and non cage wise?

I had the smoant v1...boy is that a heavy mod! Good quality though. Got rid of it as it was way to heavy to be a compact mod imo. I dont know what the v2 is like though!

The athena envy got slated for being a bit tacky...is that what you think of it?

Got to make a general comment about cage mods the disadvantages outweigh the advantages when it comes to a home/desk mod but for a pocket mod I would use nothing else.

Right; one last thing if you do get an xvostick clone by any chance do not use the grub screw that locks the adjustable 510 disk to the base of the cage.If the atty ever gets stuck you will have major problems and it serves no useful purpose. If you have not seen an xvostick this will make no sense sorry.

i have the microstick 2x gizmo17 and gizmo 24 all do work ruddy well and i use the 24 clone for work in 18500 mode
the good thing about using the mechs is if you manage to over tighten the tank you can get to the bottom of the 510 to pull the pin and unscrew the tank with screwdriver
not that ive ever had to do that

ive looked at the smotes and lusted after the xosick but they weigh to much and are huge
the envy did sound promising but it dont look to nice and is still big



gizmo 24 and goblin v3

It's the aster RT. So yes, there are two types.
The knight v2 is much lighter.
The Athena isn't tacky, it's a classy looking unit, bit wide though. And some have had trouble with temp mode, not experienced that myself.
Got the Smoant from Gearbest for less than £30 and gave the tank away.

Nice one mate thank you.

Just to be sure...have you physically felt the difference between smoant v1 and v2?


Do you like the aster rt then?

[buggritt]

No, never had one. Reviews tell that it's lighter though. The Aster is heavy, a bit awkward if the holder has small hands, but great battery life. On balance, the Knight V2 is best out of the three.
