I'm interested in buying either "New" or "Excellent Condition" Minikin 2 180w, OR even a Smoant Battlestar 200w (since it is similar shape & dimensions), but I can't seem to find either in stock anywhere online.

As far as color goes, I'm hoping to find any of the following:

Colors for Minikin 2 - Black, Brown, Army Green, Rotten Metal, Silver Relic, or Raw

Colors for Smoant Battelstar - Black, Classic Brone, Copper, Tarnish, Orange, or Bronze Blue

I know the odds are slim as these models are a few years old now, but I'm hoping someone out there has one or the other to sell.

Thanks!

Thanks very much!!

I just might end up grabbing one while I still can, but on Sunday there was a special for the DovPo Riva at Element ( $10 off orders over $100, and it was priced at $129 along with promo $5 Freemax Mesh Pro tank) so I snagged it. I wouldn't normally spend so much, but I was getting desperate to have the Minikin form-factor and at wits-end. Turned out to be a decent deal, considering the discount and the fact that there's no such thing as having too many spare tanks :) And I am VERY pleased with the Riva so far. I do miss the simplicity of the Minikin 2 screen that I'd become accustomed to, but 3 minutes with Riva manual and it's pretty easy. (Kanthal, 65w, thank you drive thru hehe).

I don't have much budget to work with, but I'm seriously considering that Battlestar you linked to, and selling a few of my mods that I just don't use much. I've got an asMODus "Amighty" that is basically like brand new and only rarely used, so maybe I can sell that to justify grabbing the Smoant Battlestar. Like the idea of having the "old school" style I like on-hand for just such an occasion.

Thanks!

PS - just in case anyone finds this helpful - side by side of my new Dovpo Riva and my 3-year old asMODus Minikin 2, with Freemax Mesh Pro tanks, bubble glass, custom drip tips.
