Hey Guys,

So I been vaping for about 2 years now. Must be honest I have been on and off it and have been a bit naughty with the analogues.

Lately the bug has bit me again. Anyways.

Throughout most of these 2 ywras I have been using a pair of nemises mods and switching between a modded Taifun GT (dripper) normal Taifun Gt and a drilled out patriot. Really enjoyed the mech mods and still do.

But while browsing for a nice mech box mod I came across the SMOK TFV4 sub ohm tank. After watching a few clips about it I now want one. Or the TFV8.

But one thing is clear, these are not suitable for mech mods.

So I been looking at quite a few but cannot decide. It needs to have some serious power so it can happily push my drippers etc.

The SMOK H-PRIV looks decent but the fire button just not buying me. I am keen on an all black look with a metal/silver trim on edges. Something with a nice finish and where you cannot see the lcd display unless lit up. Want a flush finish on top so I can fit any tank/rba. Must take two 18650. Dont want 3.

Must be able to go down to very low ohm..

Few others I have looked at but nothing I like too much. The Snow Wolf looks devine but ffs.. that price.. love that type of look.


UPDATE:

Got an H-Priv. Ironic how its about the same size of a pack of smokes.. See my comments below.

Strange how taste differs. I bought the Smok H-priv because I like the fire button so much. :)
A awesome mod I might add.

Well the more I look at and think about it the more I shift to the fence. I just dont want to fire without knowing about it especially while in vehicle or pocket. Coming from a nemesis I am very keen for a flush mounted fire button.

Each to his own I guess @StangV2_0, but I would just like to add that the button/trigger is actually amazing, I have never had it misfire in my pocket as it takes much more than a slight touch to fire it. The Mod itself gives you a lot for the price point and is of exceptional quality. I'm not sure if you have tried it yourself but if not why not give it a go, nothing to lose right?

My other suggestion would then be a Minikin, was my other option when researching for a two battery Box mod.

All the best buddy, hope you find something you really like.
 
Thanks man! Actually also looked at the Cube 2 and it has similar fire button. Maybe I could live with it.

The IPV3-LI also has my attention but seems to be discontinued?

It needs to be mentioned that the button is not completely flawless, It can be noisy and for someone that already has it's doubts about it, I would then not suggest to get it, as it would irritate you A LOT.

I knew that going into the purchase and thought, Agh it can't be that bad, and when I got it I was like WOW, it really is noisy and kinda didn't like it at first. But after putting in the batteries(somehow firmed up the button a bit) and learning how to fire it with the middle of my thumb it doesn't even bother me at all anymore, I managed to silence it somewhat.

Just thought it was worth a mention.
 
My hpriv fire button aint that noisy its maybe just the way you press it but its still an amazing mod so inlove with the hpriv

Like I said when I got it the metal kept clicking off each other after a fire, but after I put the batteries in it, it disappeared. Its not a simple click sound is what I'm saying, you will get the occasional metal on metal sound. @mcgeerj35

Don't get me wrong I am totally inlove with the mod, just mentioning stuff I noticed to help people make as informed decision as possible.
 
Yah i get what you are saying mine has the odd sound of metal now and again but like minimal for me it like the best ever but @Imtiaaz its our kick ass mods

The ipv 6x has some really good reviews. And its quite a tiny little device. Also that centre 510 means it can fit almost any size rda/rta
 
The Smok H-priv is great.
The IPV6x has a YiHi chip (fantastic)
RX2/3 is a decent option aswell.

I've heard the hpriv has some noticeable fire delay. I'm in long term mod buying research ATM and I've wondered how severe the delay is, any owners care to comment?

117ms if the device is in standby mode according to Daniel.
Skip to 30:00 in the video.

The delay was on the earlier firmware versions, They have released 4 versions after that and there is no more delay. Djlsb says that is close to firing on par with some DNA devices, which is amazing. There was so little delay after the update 1.0.9 that when you click the fire button 3 times to get into the menu it would actually fire too fast and the coils would heat up which they had to fix. So now with update 1.1.1 it is perfect.

So as far as delays go, There ain't none lol @The_Ice

Maybe something like the Smok Alien kit which comes with a baby TFV8?
 
So I been going back and forth on this switch design on the SMOK mods. Think I may be prepared to give it a go.

Haven't pulled the trigger on anything just yet but the SMOK X Cube Ultra looks cool.

I like the simple and clean look while offering a lot of features.

I got the Cube Ultra at Vapecon and it's stunning!!! Tons of custom settings, looks amazing, delivers like a champion and you can adjust the settings, coloured LED, wattage, strength, etc all from your phone via bluetooth.

I ran it with the Uwell Crown 2 over the weekend and with the Smok TFV8 Baby today - absolutely brilliant!

You cant go wrong here...
