Why can't I find a good looking mod?

The question at hand...
I think it looks nice, but from what I've read it's not going to be too great of a mod overall
I have been eyeing the Axis Vapes M17 and Hobo X dna 200
Vaporflask is a good looking mod.
Yup... this mod doesn't go out in public too often.
It's a black SMPL mod w' Derringer, and I added part of a bicycle grip and made the pin/lever assembly from sheet metal.
My next custom attempt will be a tear gas or smoke grenade...
I have a 26650 mod (painted olive drab) for the cannister.
I still need to stencil the lettering, and add a few other details.
It will be fun showing a "tear gas grenade" to a friend, and then showing how you can huff tear gas directly from the top... and blow a few clouds in their direction to watch them panic.
lmao, yea, might not wanna have that sitting in your lap when you get pulled over
Put it right next to a Vapor Flask and you're good to go. Lol

I'm not entirely happy with the one I made, so I might make some more soon... I'll let you know if I do.
I've heard some good and bad about the dna200. Some people have been saying their mods are just quiting on them. Not just a random thing....or is it???

I'm not sure, I'm torn I can't decide what I want. The sigelei looks really good
My suggestion to you would be to got with what you like and you sure are leaning towards the sigelei. Better to go with something that you already know that you like rather than throw down a ton of money that your not sure if you like or not....AND trust me, after you buy that one you will already have your eyes on another one.

Get used to it. Even after you run out and buy whatever you think is your "perfect" setup... something else will soon catch your eye. And then something else... and then something else, etc, etc etc.
Here's the deal... whatever you buy in the next month or two will end up collecting dust on a shelf within a year. That much I can almost guarantee you. That's how the vaping game is played. We are all just toy collectors. We are never satisfied with the toys we already have, and we always have an eye on the next bit of shiny new kit to come down the pike.
Sooner or later, you will find that you have a compelling NEED for the latest stuff. Whatever new mod design... new RDA... new RTA... new wire/coil type... new wicking material... new juice... ANYTHING that hits the market... you'll realize that you MUST try it out for yourself!!! Most of us are after all, addicts. We have replaced our cigarette addictions with shiny gadgetry, and more juice flavors than you can shake a stick at.
Actually, there are LOTS of "cloud chasing" people out there rushing to buy 200 watt mods. Note that most of these folks probably shouldn't be trusted with a double-A battery. Most of the time, their mods quitting is not a "random thing". It is SERIOUS user error. Better if their mods "just quit" when they screw up, rather than having those mods go out the hard way (in a fiery maelstrom).
Here's how the "cloud chasing" game is played. You'll fork over wads of your hard-earned cash for some beautiful, 200 watt monster and you'll be so proud to be the master of such a powerful beast (even though you'll rarely, if ever, turn it up past 50 watts).
But within a year, one of your friends will come strolling down the street sporting a brand new 500 watt steam machine. It'll make your puny little mod seem like an e-cig with a dying battery, and you'll quickly hide it in your pocket in shame.
But don't worry... you'll rush out and lay down some bankroll on the brand new "Kilowatt God-Mod" (which doubles as a stun-gun, and will also jump start a car). You'll go looking for that friend, and when you find him, he'll cower in fear at your new found power. You'll blow clouds so big that the National Weather Service will issue an alert for your state.
Jump ahead a few more years, and the arms race will eventually produce megawatt and gigawatt mods. You'll be salvaging old springs from trucks to use as coils, and wicking them with Japanese cotton bathrobes. Of course you'll need a pickup truck to haul all the batteries and the 50 gallon drums of juice.
Or you could just decide to skip the silly arms race which is "cloud chasing". Pick out a nice little 50 watt mod, which will be just fine for pretty much any sane vaping activity you're ever likely to engage in.
Or you can do whatever you want because were all adults. lol
For real though, 50 watts is just not enough for me to get a good hit, its just not. And its not about blowing brutal cloudz bro, its about that warm and dense full lung feeling that you arent gonna get from a lil tootle puffer. Just cuz you are happy with your lil 50 watt mod doesnt mean everyone else who has a 200w mod is a silly cloud chaser. Also the battery life you get from a 3 battery mod is reason enough to get a 200 watt mod even if you never push it past 50

I actually own a 200 watt mod (RX200). I felt silly grabbing it up, but it was like $30 on sale. And yes, the 3 battery monster will go with me camping and other places where I can go for long time without a charge... especially because it spends most of its time in the 10-20 watt range (where there's actually still flavor).
I personally vape at 100 watts, still get flavor and make descent clouds. I want some mods strictly for lower watts and flavor, some for clouds exclusively, and some that are a happy medium just cuz. I want a range of things from vaping so I can never say one is better than the other
Dem be sum nice coils boi

I agree with both of you, about the game and everybody being adults....the sad fact is that there aren't always adults vaping....there age might be over 18 but their not adults.....my thinking is buy what you want as big as you want and as cloudy as you want, just Vape with respect to other people

If you are wanting a nice mod that you can put some custom touches on without getting into the harder to find 400-600 dollar devices you could also look into the Renegade RGX II by Varitube. You can get all kinds of stuff printed onto the box and it will house a Yihi sx350j v2 board. Good warranty and solid ppl to deal with. Also the sx350j v2 board just got an update today that takes it from 150w to 200w
I posted this short video in a another thread but it gives you an idea what can be done.
