thanks for the advice..

are these mods are good enough? actually i don't mind to increase budget.. i'm looking for something that i can be satisfied with and can use for long time. because i think no point if i buy a mod and then later want to upgrade. (so i definitely want to avoid beginner devices).. not looking for something expensive just because of the fancy brand (such as Provari), but more towards something with reasonable price but good user review

yeap, now in vaping.. even more complicated than u just buy a pack of cigarette and lighter to just smoke, even mods will affect ur experience
atty (atomizers) also affect experience
local and imported juice also affect experience
resistance wires also affect experience
cotton also affect experience

LOL

uhhhh.. thanks for making me more confuse

Foreground: evic vtc mini with snubnose rda. I carry that around daily with a spare batt and a bottle of juice. Small and very easy to bring.
Background: the much larger and heavier ipv 4s. It stays at home. Heavy and cumbersome!

It's very much a matter of personal preference. I suggest u go to a vape shop and actually hold and play with the models u r considering. See what u feel comfortable with. But whatever u choose, I recommend u select a model that has removable batteries; it'll make life easier for u if u travel by plane. I see form a later post that u intend to quit smoking. Good for u! All the more reason for user-replaceable batts...cos in the initial quitting phase you'll be burning thru batts and snorking juice like a thirsty elephant in the kinabatangan river 

Nah matey, I said that so I don't have to list down all the specs. You're on your own for that. Recommendation, yeah sure we can give you some hints and pointers at what to look at. Since you're obviously new to vaping I'd say just get a mid range mod and a easy, hassle free setup just to familiarize yourself.

As I said, a IPV 3 Li is already a high performance mod with a mid price range so that'll will last you for a while. Or go small with the D2/Evic VTC mini for easy out and about setup that's super durable but still performs worth the buck spent.

For an atty, just get yourself the standard Subtank Mini. It has a rebuildable base, RBA, that you can learn to build your own coil. Don't fancy the Subtank? Get the Uwell Crown with the RBA base! Word of caution tho, not really suited for beginner since it drains juice faster than you can fill it.

Does size matter?
Budget?
Looks?
China brand ok or not?
Finger prints?
Abit hot when used?

thanks guys, all these should be useful.

as for the @mugens checklists:

Does size matter? not really
Budget? i think i can go up to 800, but i'm a bit particular spender, normally looking for good value for money so i would prefer cheaper price, comparable performance with the expensive one
Looks? ermm.. maybe doesn't matter (they all loos not that attractive anyway)
China brand ok or not? i don't mind, best value for money top priority
Finger prints? what?.. got mode have finger print security like iPhone?

Eh, I'd think a IPV 4s, Snow Wolf or any other dual batt mod will do then. Longer lifetime is a huge plus to some people. Me? Eh, size does matter  I'm happy with my D2. Still get a good whole day out of it even at high watt plus, the performance has been superb. Can't really complain for the price point.

Make sure to get an external charger and a good genuine battery. DO NOT SKIMP ON THE BATTERIES. and yes, the capslock was necessary.

Ipv3 li rm300
2 good battery rm50
1 charger rm60
1 subtank rm90
Kanthal wire rm10
Cotton rm10

Get another small mod evic mini rm100

Rm620 only hahaha.

Size does matter for me. I don't carry pouch, bag or anything. I put my vaporshark rdna40 with subtank. Just nice in the front pocket. My iphone6s wallet keys.

i googled vaporshark rdna40, it looks sleek.. it uses 1 battery only? the firing is powerful and instantaneous?

may i ask how much is the price?

1 battery external, dna40 chip (hence max 40 watt)

Disadvantage,
Max 40 watt, limited to single coil builds. Can push 2 coil but vaping at max 40 watt gonna drain battery damn fast.

Overpriced. It's rm680 with vapeshield (a coating protect dmg to the mod)

Good,
Small and good quality built.
Fast charge
Got wireless charger not included

oh, when u said overpriced, its been slashed from my list

any comment on Sx mini? overpriced too?

based on number, does it mean the ipv3 is the older version than the ipv4s?

and right you are, Ken! Me too. Although the longer lifetime is very appealing, I don't really like lugging around a brick in my pants. I do have my man purse or Murse™, patent pending, I don't always use it much.
Yes, but the IPV 3Li is newer. See, and that's why we're always confused.

*Sx mini too is overpriced imo. The price goes more to the build quality. Hell, I could even get 75 watt on my D2 but yeah, the chipset is on a whole diff levels. There's a bit more fine tuning that can be done on sx mini.
