Looking to buy a high end regulated mod

[InfinityzeN]

*Updated*
Right now I am looking to buy a high end regulated mod (would like dual batteries but not required) and the ability to run low ohm loads. It needs to be something you can actually buy, not something always sold out or not released yet. The reason for so many dna 40's on the list is because they seem to be used in most of the premium mods coming out lately. I am open to other chipsets through.

I looked at Sigelei, IPV, and Kamry GOD, all of which have plenty of power (more than I need actually), but do not have that premium feel. Here is what I'm currently looking at with the current leader at the top.

Vaper Flask - Black or Black Tie (dna 40)
Protovapor XPV40 (thanks for the suggestion MidwestGuy)
Vaper Shark rDNA 40
Pyra XS - Copper or Brass (DNA 40, very nice looking but pricey and worried about build quality)
Hana Modz DNA 40
Hex Ohm (really iffy on this, since no display)


So does anyone have any comments or additional devices I should be looking at? I came within seconds of buying a Vaper Flask yesterday but told myself I need to look at what else is out there.

FYI: The rDNA 40 does not have a "dual 18650" option that I'm aware of... my first look at the Pyra XS appears the same.

The first few batches of DNA40 boards are known to have some glitches if not well-tested by the manufacturers before shipping.

If you're looking strictly at DNA40 devices; please also consider the Protovapor XPV40. Their build quality and QC is top notch; this is one of the only DNA40 mods that I know of that is so extensively tested before shipped that there are very few (if any) documented cases of glitchy DNA40 boards. I've had mine since 10/31 and have had no issues with it and use it daily. The build quality and materials are also top notch.

I have a VaporShark rDNA 30 device as well and have nothing but praise for it (even though it's not their latest DNA40 offering). The new models offer the latest version of the DNA40 board and come with a larger screen, magnetic (no tools required) battery door removal, "zip (fast)" charging, and reverse battery buzzer, not to mention wireless charging capabilities built in (must purchase separate wireless charging base for this).

I've kept up to speed on a lot of the DNA40 devices; if I were to buy one today it would be the Protovapor with primary reasons of QC and build quality, or the rDNA 40 with primary reasons of versatility and form factor.

^ it's OK to not post if you don't know the answer.
the flask has dual batteries.
Hana is also working on a DNA40 with dual batteries.
No vaporshark with dual batteries.

Though it only uses a single cell, the SX Mini is getting rave reviews. No temp control though. IMO temp control is the only reason to get a DNA40 at this point.

Fundamentally you can get something comparable if not much more powerful for less money if you don't need temp control, such as an ipv or sig.

heres the hammer by beyondvape, looks like a cleaner looking ipv imo, havent used it or heard much of it yet though

Beyond Vape Smith Box Mod [bv-smi-box-mod] - $128.00 : Beyond Vape, Premium Vaporizers and E-Cigarettes

i also have a solara dna30 which feels extremely well made, although it is only a dna30, but quality made imo, been vaping on that for the past few months.

Thank you all for the input.

After looking at it, the Smith Box looks like a OEM version of the IPV3.

Beyond Vape has great customer service!

Not dual batts without adding a hideous extension tube, but I chose the sx mini. It doesn't have temp control, but does have 3 power delivery modes to customize your vape.

I do also really like my Sigelei 100W for half the cash.

SX Mini is pretty much almost impossible to find right now. I gotta order online since I'm in the sand box.

Hana does have the dual out, I believe Hyperion Vape has them in stock.

Hana Modz DNA 40 V4d Dual 18650

And InfinityzeN Varitube still has the Grey SX Mini in Stock

I bought the SX Mini a last week and have no regrets, worth every penny.

+1 on the sx mini. I have a second one on the way. I own DNA 30's and a 40. Vaporsharks have been my favorites. The sx mini blows them all away in my opinion. Extremely well built. VapinArt had them in stock yesterday.

I will start doing some more research on the SX Mini. Seems very nice.

 

[InfinityzeN]

Ok, so I bit the bullet and ordered an SX Mini. Now comes the loonnngggg shipping to Afghan.

BTW, if anyone is looking for an SX Mini, Yeti Vape also has them in stock.

Good luck and come back safe.
