I second the squid industries mods, they are built to last and perform great.
What are you using for atomizers?
My Minikin V2 used to last two days at 80 watta so I'm with you on the battery life. However after a year of using it the batteries didn't stay in secure and stopped making a connection so the screen would turn on and off. Was pretty pissed cos it was roughly the same price as my therion which definitely outlasted it!
I have a few basic subohm tanks I use and a zeus single coil rta a limitless rta and just purchased a Themis dual coil rta
I like the look of a stab wood mod. Always wanted one but never seen any halfway affordable. Do you have any experience with the EOS 2
I see VaporRange also beats Asmodus' site for Luswho also has free ship.
I personally don't. But I've read they are a good board.
Perfect !@SnapDragon NY has one. Come and tell everyone about the EOS 2 Snap
Yes I bought a 2nd Lustro from Vaporrange it was less than the Minikin v2.
OK enabler
That’s why I recommended most of us have had ours for a long time & no issues.
OK enabler
I'm really wanting one now. And you know, it's easy to get Asmodus on the phone and they're pretty nice. They might find some color that they have in stock but haven't updated the site.

With rumors of a Minikin v3 coming out. The Minikins v2 are a steal at $54! I love the shape comfy to hold, durable, 3 years of use & still look great no paint peeling chipping. Fantastic battery life. I would say more than worth it.
Worth waiting for the V3? I really don't need a mod, or anything for that matter, but I have this issue where I make money, then devise as many ways to spend it as I can, then threaten to spend it until I just give in and actually do it. Maybe I'll wait on the government to give me back some of that ridiculous amount of money they take from me every year and use it on a stabwood v2
Lol!
Was gonna say the same. Don't want to run them dead. They're not AA's
I think the vast majority of regulated mods these days are pretty accurate... usually they're within 1% inaccuracy range or even better.
It depends on how close your amp draw is to the CDR of your batteries. Mooch recommends swapping them after they arrive at 3 volts, but he later elaborated it could be more it could be less so, for example, if you are vaping at 45 watts on a pair of Sony VTC6 or Samsung 30Q batteries, then vaping them down to 2.8 volts won't hurt them. So, depending on how you want to vape, you might want to choose a mod that lets you do that, instead of choosing one that always stops at 3.2 volts. Mods that can support ArcticFox firmware have an adjustable setting in NFE Tools for this purpose.
AFAIK all regulated mods already have such a low voltage cut-off, usually at 3.2 volts. But I see no reason why this cut-off should be permanently fixed at 3.2 volts, when we also know that the ideal cut-off is dependent of how the amp draw on each battery used in the mod compares to the CDR of the battery, so if you are a high wattage vaper using Sony VTC5A batteries, for example, then actually you might want to stop at 3.4 volts or even higher (to prevent unnecessary faster aging of the batteries).
That's what I meant. I'll rephrase.
Yes, BUT... people should be made aware that, despite this, it isn't a good idea to keep the batteries stored inside the mod for weeks on end. If you aren't using the mod and you forget to take them out, then the mod still slowly discharges them because the electronics keep monitoring the button used to power on the mod so, it isn't completely powered off until the batteries are physically removed from the mod.
That's why I don't leave them in mods, stops any possible mod related events
I understand, BUT... not everyone always remembers to take out the batteries before leaving the mod unused for a long period. In fact, not everyone actually even knows the importance of remembering it, as the majority of people just wrongfully assume the built-in safety protections of a regulated mod offer a sufficient level of safety as long as the battery wraps are not torn and the choice of which battery to purchase was made with battery safety correctly in mind. Worse, some "experienced" vapers on the internet are handing out wrong battery safety advice (not pointing any fingers here, but I've watched it happen over and over and over unfortunately because some people just really don't know any better).
Even for regulated, battery choice is important. It's more about how it's vaped rather than solely it being a regulated mod.
My point was it's not just about battery choice and avoiding torn battery wraps. The built-in safety features of a regulated mod offer only just a little bit of protection, and, there are waa-aaaa-aaaaaaay too many "experienced" vapers who don't seem to even know this fact, let alone know the basics about that, and the worst part is new vapers are given wrong battery safety advice with regards to these same basics, both here and elsewhere, over and over and over because those offering their advice have failed miserably to do their own homework more often than not.
Best way to view it is chose the right battery, and not rely on safety features or allow them to be a crutch.
Well yes of course, but... again, how many regulated mod users are there who don't even seem to know any real details about what are the basic best practices to avoid taking the types of risks that could have easily been avoided by properly doing one's own homework as opposed to hopelessly keep spreading misinformation on the entire subject? That's the only relevant question IMO.
