New to Box Mod ?!

Hi guys,

I'm really interested in box mods and one of them will be my next buy. I see that 80% of the hand checks are now with box mods and i guess there is a reason for that.

I read some threads here about those but i still would like your advices. It seems like the market is evolving very quickly but as most of you guys own at least one, your advice will always be helpful.

What i would like about it:
-I would obviously like it to be reliable (from what i read, guess i'll already forget cloupor).
-I would like to be able to vape a large range of atomizers. I want to vape on my Nautilus (1.5-1.8 ohm) but also be able to sub-ohm if i want to (one of the new sub-ohm tank such as the atlantis for example, or even a sub-ohm build on a RTA).
-I would prefer it to work with 18650 batterie(s) or with a usb rechargeable battery (no other format such as 18500 or else).

->How high should i consider the wattage ? 30 ? 35? 40? 50? Why ?
->Would you say it's ok to go with a clone when it's about those devices ?

I took a quick look on FT and added some to my wish list:

-IP V2 7w-50w
-H-ANA MODZ DNA 30 / 40 / 50
-Eleaf istick 2w-20w
-D2 DNA 35 7-35W
-SX 300 G-sensor 7w-50w

Any recommendations ? Any no-go ?

Thanks

 

iPV mini would be decent punt, not sure if it's 'funny' ohm reader would handle a sub tank or not. iStick 30w is another decent option. The iStick 50w isn't too far away.

I'd recommend something cheap and authentic. I'd avoid all the Hana box clones on FT whether they be DNA or SX, there are better options for similar money.

 

If we're talking mid-range get an SX Mini

 

Sigelei 100 Watts+.
i mentioned this in other threads: reliable,dual 18650 battery, cover easy to remove but secured by the strong magnets. Good chip. 100 Watts because even if you don't use let's say above 50 watts/ or not yet but maybe later/ it's good to know you have the power available while using it on lower watts gives a stellar battery life.
Has a spring loaded 510 pin and takes every Atty. Sub-Ohm's no problem as well as higher ohm's because of the power available.

90$ now from here and you get a quality authentic which looks good IMO.

I would have to go with the Sig 100+ as well. I only drip at high wattage, so don't know much about the lower watt devices, but this will give a good bvattery life on low wattage and also give you room to experiment at higher wattage if you want to without having to upgrade.

 

Sig 100+/150 is also a good shout if you don't mind the extra bulk. The batteries would probably last a week with a Nautilus.

 

A bit bulky yes but good in the hand as well. I know it's personal preference but i am using it a lot more than the IPV V2.

 

I liked the Sigelei a lot, not something I would carry around with me but when I started to use it at home I used it a lot and it basically retired my mechanicals to the shelf.

 

Appreciate all your advices guys

Thanks

 

If you want a cheaper but good box mod you could look at these 2

45 watt to $ 39.00 built in battery
65 watt to 49.00 takes 1 x 18650

I have the one that takes the 18650 and it is about 10mm taller than the istick, but same with and same deept.

Smok XPro M50 ---Upgraded to 65W - $49.90 : 3Avape, Wholesale & Retail

Smoktech XPro M36 ---Updated to 45W - $39.00 : 3Avape, Wholesale & Retail

I charge the M50 via USB

 

I've got isticks, IPV mini and Sigelei 100w. The Sig is obviouly the biggest box I own by far but strangely enough it's the one that actually feels best in my hand.
