I'm looking for something that fits in the palm of my hand.
I'm thinking 18650 like a Hana
Maybe a lipo like dna Shark

I want AVP so I don't have to carry around a battery tester to make sure I'm not overtaxing the battery. Though I would be open to a Mech Kicked.

Hoping to stay under $200.
Also, need something fast - have a trip to Southern California (Anaheim) I leave for on Friday. I may pick it up there in Cali, but I would like to have it before hand.

More details:
I currently use a SiD, and plan to use my Trident Clone Dripper with the new mod. If the SiD had the electronics section (above the battery compartment) on the side of the battery tube instead of above it it would be a good fit. I cant seem to find anything like that though, so a box mod seems to be the next best thing. I've also been really wanting a dna device.

I just got in 4 sony vtc5's, so a mech is not out of the question, but then there's the whole battery tester thing.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Thanks!

What do you mean by battery tester?

I doubt you'll find a hana before then. The mini is super, super small.. vapor shark is really small too.

The 4nine is my favorite mod at the moment. About 1mm in 18650 compared to most other 18500 mods..like the nemesis, turtle ship, atomo, etc.. 18350 mode is almost too small to use..

VTR works pretty well for stealth vaping.. if someone looks at you funny, just move it to your ear and start talking.
The VTR was made for stealth vaping. The VTR with tank attached is the size of a 100s cigarette package, takes a 18650, and uses quite a selection of leak free clearomizers.

Or, if your looking for so something that can fit in your hand, but is sturdy, get a dripping atty, through some over 2.0 ohm coils, and put it on a sentinel in 18350 mode. It's the smallest most compact vape I've had, and if you through the 18650 in there with a .6 ohm coil, same hardware is now a cloud chaser. But you can do that with most any telescopic mod

I just got a 4nine, I agree it's ridiculously small!!!! 350 mode is hard to use it's so small. Not a VV device, but it's sooooo cool.

Battery tester: it's dangerous to overdraw batteries (below 3.2 volts)

Vtr: I plan to use trident dripper, so I don't think that will work

4nine: what is the height difference between that and nemesis?

Thanks for all the replies!!
I'm thinking of getting a mech for the trip and a vapor shark or hana(based on availability) after I return... That's where I'm at now, open to reevaluating that... But need to decide today, so I can order it ASAP, needs to be here before Friday!

For the short run, you could adapt your SID for a stealthier vape.

If you want to stick to 18650's, the SID Easy Head is a short non-vv top head that makes it much smaller - SID/ACE eGo Easy Head, Silver

If you are willing to use smaller batteries, Madvapes also sells SID tubes for 18350 18350 Battery Tube for the SID and 18500 18500 Battery Tube for the SID

The SID Easy head is 23mm tall, so in 18650 mode the total length is 100mm, while with the 18350 tube it is only 77mm - a stealthy little beast.

These options would also give you flexibility in the future after your trip. Good luck and happy vaping in Cali!

Didn't get anything... =( thought about short sid tube and low tech button, but decided against it. I didn't want to get 18350s or tempt over drawing battery.
will order dna shark soon I think so I will have that for next time. Probably just use mini pro tank and 600 mah egos. Vaped sid in the airport stealth style with no issues, but in less populated areas.
Thinking about nemmy clone with magnets for a mech, and snagging a pocket battery tester from eBay..

The 14500 nemi? or nemmy/nemesis?

Edit- I saw your question after I posted...tapatalk isn't working..whenever I'm on phone and it starts working right, I'll post a picture of it beside a turtle ship... 49mm in 18350 mode(4nine), 22mm, hybrid 510 cap, and floating battery.. only downside to not having to ever adjust pins, button can be finicky with short atomizers...possible dead shorts when pin is even or inside of threads as well. I still love it though..

Can't go wrong with a nemesis though.. I prefer the turtle ship over nemesis..but that's just me.:)

4nine drawbacks for me are no center pin (like you mention, can be finiky) but it's cool that it cuts down on device size! Wish they had an option for the nemesis (surprised they don't actually...) price of course is nuts.. But I love how the button is inside the body of the device (no need to lock when setting on the table)
I'll have to look at the turtle ship... Whatever that is (first I'm hearing of it...)

I'm a pretty simple vapor. I use a Smoktech Gripper when I stealth vape. 18350 mechanical mod. Short profile mode uses a cartomizer which attaches inside the mod body. An extender can be added to use a clearomizer, cartotank, or a drip atomizer. Only $10 at Mad Vapes; don't allow the inexpensive price scare you off, this is a surprisingly durable little mod which works. I've had mine for a year.

What I want to know is why I have to buy a telescopic mod. I don't understand why somebody doesn't have a plain 18350 tube with a switch, and a 510 threaded top cap. I just want a SHORT, but good performing battery to attach to my clearo or tasting atty. I have Smok Spinner, Vision Spinner, and numerous 550 eGo's but since learning the wonder of mod batteries I've been on a mission to find one. I just want something that performs well when I can't whip out my lightsaber sized mod.
