Hey guys Ive changed my course from buying the new sigelei 150w TC to considering a new dna 200 mod. I've been told that new mods are being released very soon that allow 18650 batteries. Since I have a bunch of vtc5/4s I think I would like this better than switching to lipo. Do you guys have any buying advice for brand durability and price point? I've been using mech mods for a long time now and want to make the switch but things have changed drastically since I last bought a regulated mod.

Well I have spent the entire day researching what's out and coming out soon. At this point I believe I have narrowed it down between 3 mods. Either the sigelei 150w TC because of reliability, the cloudmaker whiteout (which is awesome considering its modular) or the lavabox which personally looks the best to me and has all features I want minus replaceable chipset and fairly small battery life. Man it's a really tough call.

The 1590g is a very pretty mod I really like that. Is there a reason to go with that over the cloudmaker or lavabox?
Btw I am also currently running the Goliath V2 ;) not a bad tank but I actually think it is about to get replaced by the TFV4

Edit: I like the vapor shark but I just can't do the screen on bottom. I don't know call it preference but it kills it for me. If it was cheaper maybe but at $200 I have to be crazy about it to drop that cash.

I really just like the fact that the chip is easily replaceable on the cloudmaker. I agree it's not small though.
I've had a chance to experience the TFV4 on a mech mod which I calculated to be around 88W if I remember correctly and the flavor and vapor was amazing but I can't personally comment on the RBA. He does build his own could on the duel coil RBA and he said he hasn't had any problems with it yet but then again I'm sure you know much more about it that me. I was basing it of reviews and I haven't seen many bad ones. I love my Goliath never a single leak to date and mine does not have the issue with the threads getting stuck making it impossible to remove the coil so I guess I am lucky there.

Personally I always build my own coil I refuse to pay that much for coils that last maybe two weeks at best. It's insane for the price of one coil I can buy 100ft of wire to do myself.

I've been researching this myself and finally settled on the VaporShark DNA 200. What sold me over the competition is the small form factor, Zip Charging and USA built. The Opus DNA 200 looks pretty cool too. I have an older Opus D and it's still working well after almost two years.

I'm gonna follow this thread. I too am looking for a DNA200 in the next couple of months as they become more readily available, we see more reviews and most importantly I get more money. I am leaning toward the vaporshark but the boxer and the opus seem nice. I put in a request to join hobo custom's Facebook group, I'll see if anything happens there.
