I love the eGo mini. I have 4 of them from Got Vapes, 400 mah. I bring two of them to work each day with Replaceable Stardusts. They have enough power to vape through the 1.6 ml in the Stardust and still produce good vapor. They fit in my pocket perfectly as well. The only thing I wish they had is battery charge indicator like a real eGo. I am a fan.

I'm not sure what happened with my mini (from CCV.) All of a sudden it seems like I can screw in an atty or carto (510 thread) and pull it straight out without unscrewing. I have actually had cartos detach from taking a drag. It still charges though, so I think I'll try a T3 that uses the outside threads. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

Wow, sounds like your threads are damaged. Have you contacted your vendor for a replacement?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my mini 350 mah batteries, but Im having a big problem.... I have ordered from 3 different venders and it seems they all worked fine and then all of a sudden....they will not fire up the atomizer. They are fully charged and they light up when you press the button like they are suppose to. I have tried different clearo's with them. Ive tried the mini vivi and even some ce2's. Everyone has reccomended that i gently lift up on the center pin of the battery posts. Tried that and it did Not work....Any ideas???
If all your minis stopped working, it could be that your charger is killing them, or a shorted out carto fried them all? Contact your vendors and see if you can get a replacement. Also might be a good idea to get a new charger. Yes, and as another poster mentioned... A multimeter may be a good investment.

i just got one of the minis from empire mods with a ce4 clearo and its awesome. I also ordered the smoktech shorty cartos from smoktech and those are even better just wish they held more juice. Can anybody reccomend a clearo or carto that has simalar performance to the shorty carto just holds more liquid?

Sorry I'm little late to the party on this thread and haven't read all 31 pages. Does anyone besides health cabin sell the regulated 3.7 minis ?

I've tried them all and the best ones IMHO are from Libery Flights.
They are regulated at 3.7v and the price is excellent.
Don't forget to use the october20 discount code :)

About the SMOK TECH EGO MINI - 450MAH.

I'm planning to use a 2.0ml Vivi Nova v.2.5. tank (the smaller one). So far I've been told to stick to the 1.8ohm heads for my current batteries. Do I need any conversion pieces for hookup?

I currently own two 1100mAh Batteries and a charger that came with my eGo starter kit. Will the charger work for this? Will ideal 1.8ohm heads/limitations remain the same as they are on my current battery?

Sorry about all the questions, I'm pretty new.

Thanks!

Just think of it as another eGo battery - just shorter :). Everything that you use for your 1100mAh's will work with the Mini.

I've been using one from hoosier and have been loving it since. Friends that have store bought disposable ecigs are blown away at how much smoke comes out of my setup. I'm in college, and needed something that I can use discretely, so I bought it after learning of it from this very thread lol. I smoke all day in the library at school too =x

Switched from shortys(got annoyed of refilling so much), to CE4 tanks(sadness came knowing of muted flavors), then switched to boge 2.0LR cartos for the flavor and less refills needed. I have a metal tip from hoosier on my carto as well. Don't like the small nubs that came with the kit, since they'd collect juice, and would be warm/hot when used on the shortys.

I actually ditched boge 2.0ohm LR's for this 3.5mL smokteh tank that I got from hoosierecig as well. It's friggin awesome. I was sad that CE4s/CE5s muted the flavor, so I tried this option and its great. No problem of having to refill once or twice a day, and full on flavor like that of a full on cartomizer. Granted, the original cartomizer was crap since it only had one prepunched hole(it burned....) so the wick never primed correctly. Luckily, I ordered 3 punched hole cartos as a backup in the same order, use that, and BAM. Happieness.

I can see that LF shows these as true 3.7V device, but didn't see anything about regulation.

In the past (way back in vaping-time, 2010-2011) the Rivas and similar became popular vs "genuine" Joyetech eGos because Rivas ran at 3.7V, but were not regulated. The egos (non-VV sorts) run at 3.3V regulated.

I've picked up some SMOKtek eGo batts from LF, knowing they were 3.7V, but were not regulated... Came off the charger about 4.1-4.2V and ran down to 3.4-3.5 before they started blinking. This is how the Rivas and most other 3.7V batts work (including the mods which use replaceable batts).

If they are making 3.7V devices which have regulation circuits, especially in this small form factor, I'd be interested in checking those out.

Can anybody confirm one way or the other?

Im going to be getting some of the minis myself. So far Ive been mainly interested in the Apoloe brand that is being sold at vapors-choice, discountvapors, and ecigsejuice,(the ones with mini writtten on the batt) but the stated voltage varies depending on who you ask, if its not written in the description. CS at ecigsejuice said they were 3.7 but didnt answer me about if they were regulated or not, but at vapors-choice it states the voltage is 3.8-4.2 which I would take that to be unregulated but it seems like an exaggeration of the voltage range. If its accurate though, it sounds great. So theres a mystery with that one. I think smoktechs are 3.7 but is it regulated or unregulated? And the vision brand 400mah with 510 connection is I believe 3.7, but again is it regulated or not? And the vision 808 threaded 400mah from gotvapes says its unregulates starting at 4.2. That one leaves less of a mystery. Some were saying than many of the mini's were 3.4, I havent seen those yet, what brands are they? I hate it when they dont list all specs, got me all squirrely with this mini madness. Based only on the ones Ive seen, lengths seems to range from 54mm-60mm.

Anyone with voltage and regulated vs. unregluated info.. p p p please come join cause I can only take so much obsessing.
