What Mod Should I Save Up For?

Thank you for the input! I have been looking at the iStick 50w a LOT!
Can you suggest any Mods with a removable battery?
Minimum 50W. Up to 100W or so.
If you are looking for 50 to 100 watts of power than the provari is off the table as it only goes to 20 watts...
Honestly I would go for a Sigelei 150 watt. Gives you some breathing room power wise. It's got amazing build quality, amazing performance, magnetic battery door is awesome, etc... It takes 2 18650 batteries and has great battery life. Price on the net is basically $99.99 so 150 watts for $100.00. Pretty awesome.

Unless you plan to really be serious with sub ohm, for the money I don't think you can beat the istick 50w. I have the 30w and 50w and love them. Battery life is amazing on both and they charge fairly quick and you can pass through vape. The 50w will handle coils down to .2ohm which is pretty low unless you're really chasing clouds. Personally I don't see myself going any lower than that. The readily available .5ohm coils are easily powered by the 30w and 50w. For the money I think the istick wins. Around $35 for the 30w and I just bought the 50w for under $45. I also really like my IPV mini (30w) if you really want changeable batteries.
Those two mods are very different. Which atty are you planning on using? It is easier to narrow down the mod options if you already have an atty picked out.
I mostly use my Lemo Drop for higher ohms and a Kanger SubTank when I want lower ohms with the .5Ω coil. I'm hoping to get the Lemo 2 soon, once it comes out of course.
I voted for the Hex not necessarily because I think it is the right fit but because of the warranty of the device. The Hex v2 is a little over priced imo since it is a hammond enclosure but the warranty gives it longevity which can add value assuming Cravin Vapes does not tank in the near future.
With your mentioned desired watt range the P3 is off the table as it is a 20w device.
So that leaves the other category and there is no shortage of options in that regard and a strong case can be made for many of them, so really it is a matter of the right fit for you to get the right value out of your hard earned dollars. You could spend say 89.00 for a Sig 150 today and in 6-12 months if it shits the bed you are only out a fraction, or if in 6-12 months it is still working great but you are ready for something new you still are in for a minimum.

I think I'm going to wait for my tax return and invest in a HexOhm V2. I love the simplistic style of the mod. I also love the lifetime warranty!
If I have enough, I'll get an iStick 50W too for when I need quick portability for errands and day trips and things of that sort.

Is that new? Are there specs on the VaporShark rDNA 40 V2 yet? ...Or are you talking about the VaporShark DNA 40 (minus the "r") that came out recently? Smaller, with an internal battery? Looks like this:
Nope, just the V2. This has a better and, supposably, a more reliable chip in it. Well see about that, but i just like touching, holding and using the Vaporshark.Is that new?

Just asking but, Why spend more money for less device? The Hexohm v2 only fires down to 1.5ohm and has a 110Watt limit? the Sigelei 150 Watt fores down to .1 Ohm and has a 150 Watt Limit. Build Quality of the Sigeilei is FAR nicer as well. When you open the battery compartment of the Hexohm, there are wire exposed etc... The inside of the Sigelei is far cleaner and safer. Also the battery sled hold the batteries nicer.
I have the Red Sigelei 150 Watt and I did a TON of research before buying. I'm telling you, it is an AWESOME device.
Also the Sig 150 can be had for under $100.00.
My Sig does EVERYTHING. my iStick 50w is for portability and as a backup...
FYI, this is the inside of the Hexohm...
Oooo, a VaporShark rDNA 40 V2! This intrigues me!
I have a VaporShark rDNA 40 (I guess I'll have to call it V1 soon), and I like it okay. It just feels fragile to me, so much so that I'm very cautious when taking it out of the house. It's unfortunate too because it's my only regulated mod.
Oh alright, you have one already. If only i lived in the States, i would trade you my Sig 150w for in a blink of an eye. My vaping habits are chancing and moving to a more subtle direction, and i really dont go anywhere near 100 watts anymore, more like 20-50w. But the Sig 150 is a great mod, IMO the only real choise if you're looking for a good higher powered device. Maybe the new IPV4 will change that, but at the moment the Sigelei in my books is unrivaled.
.15Ω and .1Ω is hardly much of a difference for my needs. I rarely build that low anyway. Honestly, I wish I could have both though.Just asking but, Why spend more money for less device?

Another concern, which isn't as much of an issue with men as it is with women, is the width of the devices. The HexOhm is significantly slimmer than the Sigelei 150W. I've been cursed with child-size hands, making wider mods difficult to grip securely.
Aww, MAN. That trade would make me ecstatic! Where do you live?
Finland...
In other words, far as all hell. Or perkeleen kaukana as we say.

I can't remember the specs on the Pioneer4You IPV4, but the shape of the mod with the rounded edge would probably fit smaller hands better.... I would think. Not trying to discourage the Sigelei, I have a Sig 100W myself and enjoy it (I got the first version and had to put in a Varitube 510 connector).
You pretty much can't go wrong with the Sigelei.. but the c-frame style of the IPV4 is a little more attractive and probably more comfortable too.
Oh that's cool! My Mom went to Finland for a summer when she was 17. She stayed with a host family and she is still in touch with them to this day! She hopes to go back there one day and take me, so that I can meet her host family and share some good times. I've never been overseas. It's so fascinating to me.Finland...
Thanks for all the ideas! I'm going to try to go to my local vape shop this weekend and see if I can do some comparing. I need to be able to hold the devices in my hand to make a final choice.

Thanks for the idea! I'll look it up.
I have a tiny thing against clones though, because I've been disappointed with clone hardware quality one too many times now. I'll will keep an open mind though.
Do you know of any good sites that carry Zero clones?

for RTA like Lemo or Subtank, I wouldn't go below 0.5ohms. Hence, don't think you will "need" high watt box mods. (of course, "wanting" is a different story) VW mods might be better choice. Also, since Subtank is huge, definitely do an aesthetics check to make sure they go together. Many others who own the desired pair might be able to post some pics.
For a recommendation, I don't own this mod but heard many good things about it and would definitely get it if I was in the market for a mod.

Wow, that's beautiful!
also the Tesla 120w box mod looks nice as well, or maybe a ipv 2 (70w nice small and small hand friendly) smy 90w mod. I love my I stick 50w though great for out and about. The ipv4 is like $78 at VapeNW.com but there's a lot to choose from I've recently been shopping around myself. I ordered from Vaperoyalty.com and Josh with customer service was fantastic even let me pay with PayPal and 3 day shipping
