I’ve heard the sharpie comparison before, but sharpies come in a lot of different sizes. Some are not too much bigger than a pen that would be no problem sticking in my pocket, others are big chubby clunky things that would be very uncomfortable to stick in my pants pocket.

Is there a site that gives the respective dimensions and comparison pictures of the ego/kgo style pv’s to said sharpie so I can see what style pen it is compared to?
I’d just hate to buy something that is uncomfortable or incontinent to carry around.

Which is the smallest?

Look at post #12 in this thread. They are all about this size, shown against a sharpie pen:

I started with cigarette-like e-cig as well. Like you I prefered people to not pay attention to what I "smoke". The bad thing was that the time to charge battery was about twice longer than the time battery worked then (because of low mAh). So very soon I got four batteries and two chargers. One you use, another is a spare, two more are charging at all times. A little boring. For now I use e-pipe which looks just like classic pipe and uses 700mAh-1000mAh batteries. And I have a 6-slot charger, allowing to charge 6 batteries simultaneously.

Hi & Welcome! I'm sure this won't be much help but I have the E-Power 14650 mentioned above (with replaceable batteries, switch, etc.). It measures about 11/16" dia. & 5" long to the top of the cone. I don't know how this compares to the other PVs mentioned; this one uses one protected 14650 battery rated at 1050mAh. I carry it in my shirt pocket w/2 -3 bottles of juice.

Hope this helps, Happy Vaping! :vapor:

Woop! My Riva 510 starter kit has just arrived here from the UK :D
5 hours for the initial charge apparently, although the charger says the batt's full already. Still best to wait, I suppose. Wanna try the new flavours! I gave up on the stupid e-cig that I had. It tasted awful and I had to change the batteries constantly... Well that's my excuse for having smoked a few analogues yesterday anyway!

Thanks for the measurements!

I went with the Kgo system and ordered the kit plus an extra 650mah kgo battery.
I got the 650 battery yesterday, and it will easily fit in my pants pocket, and expect to get the full size kit today.
I think it'll work out great for me.

Sounds great! I haven't tried (or actually seen) a KGO but from all the happy KGO vapers' reports I've read here I expect you'll be delighted with it (I expect I would too :) ). The specs look good, & I can't recall reading of any complaints with them. Don't know what kind of 650 battery you got but (again, based on what I've read) if it's a 3.4 volt, when you get your 3.7 volt KGOs in you should notice a significant difference with the same attys/cartos. Also they should give you almost 1.7 times the vape-time between charges (I think; quart low on coffee here).

Best wishes, Blessings from my cave & Happy Vaping! :vapor:

Hi Bobsy

Welcome. I have a 510-T kit and I love it. Great throat hit for a mini. If you MUST have high portability and small form factor I haven't found anything yet that out does the 510-T, however, like everyone says, if you depend on it for all your vaping...count on having a very intimate relationship with your charger lol. In a work environment where you're only vaping occasionally in same fashion as smoke breaks, the 340 mah will get you through a workday with a bit of jam left for the drive home but fear of running short will keep you dragging the charger and/or smaller batt with you everywhere. I was pack to pack n a half smoker and I've been using my 510-T for all my vaping and the charger and 2 batts barely keep up with me. hope that sheds some light for ya.
