I want one,I want it clear though,not that frosted shit
Okay then. Well they are there. And besides, a cinch to polish on a drill press.
First image is the Curve mini 1050 mah integrated battery 10 watt mini box mod (Totally Wicked version of eLeaf mini iStick). The second image is my personal favorite mod of all time (shame its been discontinued). Its called the TECC Telescope, its a telescopic battery tube that can accommodate either a 18350 or 18500 or 18650. In the image I have it in its most compact mod housing an 18350 battery. The reason I call it a semi mech is because of the fuse it has.
Yours is nicer. The one I have has a plastic button. Problem with this bugger is the little springs inside carrying the current. Mine was hitting too weak and that was the reason.
I'm modifying mine so no current passes through a spring. Will post pics when I'm done if you like.
Hehehe. I had to give up on the iStick Mini. It was so small it would tip over sideways in my shirt pocket and leak. Never thought I would think that a mod was too small.
Modified Yiloong Fox Box mod.

I like this little setup.....where did you get that mod?
Okay, not a mini mod, but pretty much the smallest and lightest dual 18650 out there. Aluminum Ivogo Abaddon, refinished and slightly modified.
Never seen a polished Ignition before. Looks great.
It's actually called a Gravity Mod by a UK company!!! it's apparently "Based on the Ignition Mod"!!!
That is a older version of a Touchwood mini.

MicroStick rehab and conversion to 18650.
Not quite finished yet, but the basics are done: spring loaded 510 installed, bottom plate replaced with wood extension, exterior refinished and all edges rounded. Attys now mount straight and solidly, no rattle anywhere, nice short throw on the switch. Feels very nice in the hand and fits well inside the pocket, nothing sticking out. Total height to the top of the switch is 87mm. Despite the height gain over stock it's lighter, because a couple of heavier stock components were replaced with lighter ones.
It's hitting consistently now, but not quite as hard and fast as it could. I'm wondering where the bottleneck is, and afraid it may be in the press fit of the brass thread ring into the body (bottom picture). It looks like the factory may have press fit the thread ring after the body was anodized. Not good. I wish they had just tapped the aluminum. If that's indeed the case the fix will be to add a brass pin to enhance contact between the thread ring and body. I don't want to do it, but probably will if I have to to get the most out of this rig.

MicroStick 18650 conversion side by side with Abaddon dual 18650. Height to top of switch: MicroStick 87mm; Abaddon 88mm. Identical Cthulhus attached. The MicroStick disappears into a shirt pocket, and with the 18650 there is no amperage compromise with the smaller batteries that go into similar side-by-side mini mods.
Just finished this 18650 mini mod made especially for my 18mm Mini Buddhas. It's from scratch except for the switch (from an LPG) and the spring loaded 510 connector. It looked really good with its initial angular asymmetrical shape, but didn't feel so good in the hand, so I rounded it off more conservatively. Feels great and hits hard, worthy of the Mini Buddha which I have grown to love. Size is perfect for the pocket and no sacrificing amperage with a smaller battery.
Is the nemesis big in 18350 mode? I want to get a small tank (Might make the orchard as small as I can, anyone that knows of smaller let me know please)
I was thinking of using that with a 0.7 coil for 25-20 watts, with kanthal wire that is not very thick, kind of like a microcoil, just for fun. This will pull up to 7 amps from the battery, I see some are rated to 10 some to 12, so this should be safe. I know battery life will be short, but I am looking for a stealth vape (I don't need one, I just want one, the IPV D2 might be small enough for my needs come tommorow when it arrives), if not a mech on 18350 mode will be tried.

Have worked up a few mini's.......
- Silver Ignition with a Smok Magneto III Silver, Flash E-Vape V4
- Black Ignition with a Smok Magneto II Black, Kayfun Black
- Blue Ignition with a Smok Magneto II Blue, Fogger V4 Blue
Wow, they are pretty cool! Are they regulated or mechs? I want one.
Just Mech's I actually found on UK Vapors, there is a side by side regulated mod, similar to the gizmo, and the Oak unit, trying to track it down again, I really want to find a side by side, regulated mod....
Here is my Gizmo V2 BMW Mod... To go with my bike...LOL
Just did a write up how to fix the magnets..
My Kato and stacked Kayfun Stainless is next to it...

Goblin Mini on a Stingray Mech in 18350 mode
Here's a Gizmo V2 mod I modified to accommodate the Fountain V2 squonking atomizer. Nice to have a squonker so pocketable. Shown next to a few other small 18650s I've posted before.
@TheWestPole do you have trouble with your Goblin Mini adapter staying put? Just happened upon this thread and thought I'd ask.
You guys have some beautiful stuff here.

Do you mean Goblin Mini drip tip adapter? I've never used it. Made a custom drip tip instead.
Should've known that, lol. Carry on.
4nine in 18350 mode with my goblin mini, for some reason I use it like that fairly often just cause it looks so darn cute!

That thing is just perfect! Looks super clean and I love the cutout for the airholes, really impressive.Just finished this 18650 mini mod made especially for my 18mm Mini Buddhas.

Thanks, PB. Was the only mod I took on a four week trip and served me just fine.
This is a great thread! Here's a couple of my new mini Squonkers, tmod micros .
I'm doing a limited run of titanium (first two pics) micros, and they are always available in aluminum, with or without cerakote, etc.
They are way small, 18650/8.5ml
Very nice. Clever bottle/battery access.

Thanks, it's the only way to go really, keeping the cap recessed and closed in is great, no side pressure will take or off, it doesn't really even need magnets but I use them anyways, makes a nice click and holds in really well, I'm really happy with how they turned out. Takes me about two to three weeks from order to delivery., in the next week or two I should be able to cut that in half.

I'd love to see more details of the business end of the mod. For my own edification of course. I haven't made a ground up squonker yet but I'm heading in that direction. Gonna go for dual battery regulated in wood, as light as possible with as little metal as possible. Still playing with the designs.
Nice finishing work!Okay, not a mini mod, but pretty much the smallest and lightest dual 18650 out there. Aluminum Ivogo Abaddon, refinished and slightly modified.
I meant the whole removable upper assembly, switch, 510, etc.
