Want to get a quality box mod, what seems worth the money to ecr?

Iv got some money saved up to pick a new box mod but i want something thats going to last and doesnt have problems. Currently been mostly looking at getting a hexohm since tc doesnt matter to me.

The M17 looks good but idk if i care enough about a dna200 board to sacrifice interchangeable batteries.

Any opinions on these? also what other options do you guys and gals know of that are similar to what im looking at?

Look at some mods that aren't made in China. Going to a custom mod maker guarantees that if something messes up you can actually send it in to get repaired, it doesn't just become a paper weight. u/amdcursed makes some good mods. r/cursedmods

E fusion duo dna chip can be dual 18650 or lipo. Look at a titan maybe.

The efusion duo looks really good on paper im just worried in 3 months everyone will have issues with them.

I never really go over 100watt, go to build runs 80 watts at .23 ohm

I absolutely love my m17. I like it so much I plan on buying a second one. I've been checking their site for new ones constantly, and will be grabbing a new one as soon as I see one I really really like.

I wouldnt blow the top price for one of the acrylic ones, but they're worth the $350-400 imo.

Zero issues with it, extremely high quality everything, absolutely beautiful... And you can't go wrong with the dna200 chip. I don't vape anywhere near 200w but it's nice to know I can if I want to.

Hows the battery life on it compared to duel 18650 mods?

I almost always keep my Pico on the m17, and really never push it past 25w. I get great battery life with the way I use it. I usually have a lower resistance atty on my dual 18650 mods so it's hard to make the comparison. One of these days maybe I'll spend a full day with the Pico on one of my dual 18650 regulated mods and see how they compare... Or throw a low res rda on the m17 and see how long I get with the wattage cranked up around 120w or something.

I really enjoy using it with a tank though

The M17 has an 1100mAh lipo in it. An 1100mAh lipo will last about 2/3 as long as a pair of 2500mAh 18650s (like 25Rs or HE2/4s) How long it will last will depend entirely on how you vape. If you run TC, it will last longer than if you run wattage mode.

To give you some reference on how long the batteries will last. I use a Tugboat 200W, it has a 1300mAh lipo. If I run TC @40W it lasts me all day without having to recharge it. If I run wattage mode @60W I have to charge it about halfway through the day. In my SnowWolf200 @60W a pair of HE4 lasts me about 2/3 of the day.

If you're looking for a DNA200 with dual 18650s (133W max), I'd recommend looking at the efusion duo or buying from a custom mod builder.

Do you know of anything of equivalent quality and reliability without the stab wood? They're beautiful in their own way, but I'd like something sleeker and more monochromatic, I think.

(sorry, OP, for hijacking your question!)

I had a feeling you drop this on here, if they had a dual 18650 mod id be more interested tbh but they do look really nice.

I've had the M17 for about a month now and I highly recommend it for anyone willing to spend the money. It's a beautiful mod. It's large, but taller than it is wide, so it's comfortable in my pocket on the rare occasions I take it out with me. It's also really light. The DNA200 is a great board, and I definitely see what all the hype is about. As for the battery, I was worried about it too and I almost didn't buy it because of that. Glad I did though. It'll depend on how you cape, but I don't usually Vape over 50w now, so the battery life is usually fine with me. As an example, my drive to work is roughly 1.5-2 hours one way. I don't Vape at work, but I Vape pretty heavily on the drive to and from. So roughly 3-4 hours of heavy vaping at around 40-50 watts, and I still have at least 1/2-3/4 battery life by the time I get home. I bought a small power bank, just in case, but I've only ever used it once. It's slightly longer and wider than a single 18650, so if I threw it in my pocket, it wouldn't be a huge issue for me, and I'm someone who absolutely loathes having things stuffed in my pocket. I was worried I'd regret buying my M17, but I'm definitely glad I did.
