Watts too much? getting a new Mod

[Dietz]

Hello

So after a week with my 1st eVic im looking for a new one and need some advise and recommendations.

Ive been going through 100s of them and have a liking for three:
- RAW Asmodus Minikin V2 (180W)
- Smok G-Priv 220W & Big Baby Beast kit
- Smok Alien 220W Alien Full kit

Are there any other Option I should be considering and out of these what would be the recommended option by you, and why? They all seem Awesome to me, but than again, I dont know much yet.

Another question is would I really ever use all that Power?

Thanks
D

The Alien is a great mod, but its paint wears off like a New Years resolution.
I run mine at less than 50W which means I get great batt life and the mod isnt stressed internally like running a 75w at 60W would do.

I dislike touchscreen mods, so unable to advise on your other 2 choices.

If I was starting again, I'd definitely only consider a dual batt mod... and most likely something in stabilised wood.
Yes they are more pricey, but consider that I've acquired 3 mods @ R1000 each that have either dissapointed, like the IPV6X, or had flaking paint issues like the Alien and Ijoy Solo mini.
Now R3500 for a future proof stabilised wood mod doesnt seem so ridiclous after all.
By future proof, I mean capable of 150W or higher and able to drive a 25mm dia tank without overhang.

I rarely go above 50W so if I can recommend some :
Hohm Slice
Vape Droid C1D2
VGOD150

First two are 26650s and the VGOD150 dual 18650.

I prefer the VGOD150 due to its form factor to the Minikin V2 have both and battery life is same same to me V2 maybe a tad better.

Hi @Dietz
I don't have either of those three you mentioned - but they do seem to be quite popular here on the forum.

From what I have gathered:

The Alien's paint wears off - but other than that, users seem to be happy with it.

The Minikin V2 seems to be a favourite amongst many. I am also tempted by that RAW one. That finish just seems so cool. My advice is just to try hold one in the flesh to see if you like the shape in the hand. It does have a different type of shape. I am not mad about the shape myself - but that Raw finish is swaying me.

So after some more of reading the list changed, and the choice is more difficult:

- RAW Asmodus Minikin V2 (180W)
- Vapresso Tarot Pro 160W
- Wismec Releaux RX200s 200W

- Smok G-Priv 220W & Big Baby Beast kit (just dont like the big touch screen that can get scratched)

Its very difficult for me as they all do the same thing, I cant see why the price differs to massively if they do the same thing?

Raw Minikin point

 

[The_Rio]

One of the most underrated mods in my opinion is the Fuchai 213,

 

[Noddy]

The Sigelei 213 is also more pocket friendly I would think

 

[Dietz]

call me full of cr@p, but I dont like the way it looks (Segelei 213)

 

[Faheem777]

Don't forget to check out the Vaporesso Nebula mod @Dietz I think it's good value for money and reasonably compact for a 100w mod.

 

[Scissorhands]

The Raw Minikin will hold up best against ware and tear . . . And hold its value better than smok mods, at the end of the day you have to look at it daily so choose accordingly

 

[Dietz]

After reading pages after pages of reviews and videos I think I am going with the Minikin V2 It was a really difficult choice as I also like the RX2/3, but there is just something in the Minikin that I like, Even after all the posts Ive read with people complaining about the unlock touch button.

Can anyone recommend a good tank for it?

I second the vgod. Absolute magic.

[Paul33]

Went from a minikin v2 to the vgod. Haven't looked back.

I do have some pet peeves with it, mine has button rattle but that's negligible. I find I'm using it more out and about then the Minikin purely cause it fits in my top shirt pocket. For me it's all about am I able to easily EDC a mod much like my knives.

 

[Daniel]

Do note it will have some micro overhang with a 25mm atty if you OCD like that me I can live with it....

Come to think of it buy my Minikin it's the best

What was the deciding factors for you?

 

[Daniel]

Some comparison shots as I know it's a big thing buying a new mod...

P. S I have small to medium hands

Ok that's just unfair play that RAW looks the tits. Someone post a Silver VGOD pic quickly!

 

[Daniel]

Stuff you all Reo FTW!

 

[Dietz]

The small form for the Minikin is a pro for me. Are there any technical goodies on the Vgod thats missing with the minikin?
