The flavor is there, but TH too harsh. Could just be my high PG juice and high nic. I am going to try and get the juice out and cut with VG. Not sure how to drain the tank though... I will probably try to use a syringe to suck it up... Lol.
I took a few puffs, in order to answer you regarding flavor. Golly gosh! I am on a high again...

OMG...mailman came and this thing is SO ADORABLE! Its even smaller than I imagined! Love it! Quick question...is the button supposed to keep flashing red to blue to white while its charging? Now I just gotta figure out how to fill this clearo it came with and I'll be in business!

Cool :).. They are so cute! Mine doesn't flash, since I have the old type. But I have other eGo's that do, so that sounds right.

It charged and works great, loving this little thing so far! It has turned itself off a couple times though, I'll be vaping, then go to hit the button again and nothing happens. So I push it 3 times and it turns back on. I dont know if its something about how I'm vaping that triggers the button 3 times to turn it off, or what. Other than that, its a really cool little addition to my collection. And I'm surprisingly impressed with how that clearo it came with is working. I have no idea how to clean that thing though.

Anyone have any ideas? (this is the "Apoloe C8" brand....one of the bright colored ones that says "mini" on the side and comes with a clearomizer that matches it)

Maybe you accidentally turned it off by touching the button? I read somewhere that it happened to someone...

That's what I've been thinking...something about how I am hitting the button when I vape is actually pushing it 3 times...might need to be more steady/push harder or something to avoid it. LOL

I just got a mini viva nova from gotvapes. Great product! To me the size is perfect, almost the same diameter as an eGo battery and still holds 2.5ml of liquid. Nice easy draw. My only complaint is the ohm of the head that gotvapes ships them with. It came with a 2.4ohm in it and it's horrible paired with the eGo mini batteries. Very weak vapor. I tried it with my 650 eGo upgrade and it works really well, but on the little eGo, weak vapor. I have a 1.8 ohm head coming and I'll give it try once it arrives. IMHO the 2.0 ohm and above are really meant for higher voltage mods or an unregulated eGo upgrade battery or maybe an eGo twist battery. I think the 1.8 ohm will make a huge difference with the mini eGo's. Anyone else using a viva nova with the mini eGo batteries? If so, what ohm head are you using?

Here's a picture of the mini viva nova on the eGo mini battery.

I just got a mini Nova but I haven't tried it with the mini eGo yet, just the Twist. It has the 2.4ohm head, which works well at around 4.5v on the Twist. I'll be curious to hear how the 1.8's work on the mini - I like the size of that combination.

Really? Ohh that's Okey ill get some more next HC order

That might not be a bad thing! I never turn my batteries off...but this little guy seems to have a mind of its own!

What's strange is that it only seems to be happening when I use it with the clearo it came with. Its very possible it has something to do with how I'm holding it or something. I can't get over how tiny & cute they are!

Well i got my order in last night for my mini from madvapes. when i logged in and was looking at them it said they had 92 in stock and in the hour or so it took me to sneak MY cc out of my wifes purse and log back in it said they only had 65 in stock. Then this morning they have 60. so it looks like they are going over pretty well.
It says they have the 5 click safety off/on and thats going to be a plus for me being i have an older 900 mah i carry and it does not have that shut off feature and the toyish plastic button protector i got is a little awkward to use with any ease. As i plan on making this my work day carry device.
Also back some in this thread a poster was talking about having problems with their mini shutting off on them and such and it was thought they had the '250 mah " version. i was thinking that maybe they are having a charger problem? I ask this because i seen someplace about batteries being of a certain mah rating needing a charger other then the one for a higher mah rating? I am unsure of what the specs are on this but i just thought it might be worth mentioning.
Oh back to my mini, it should be here in a few days and i'll share my thoughts on it for anyone thinking about getting one themselves. Thanks to all that has shared their input on the mini so far. It has helped me in making my choice of purchase.
Take care Rob.

Very nice set up Hampa_D. I really like the eye glass case idea. Now that i think about it i just might have one of those. Thanks for putting the lighter in the photo to give a size comparison. It makes the lighter look very large at first glance after using my twist for the past month or so,lol.
I ordered a black mini but i really like the steel ones you have.
Thanks again and take care,Rob.

Omg talk about chickware!! If i looked quick id think im looking at a lipstick.. woman will really really like that.

LOL...that's for sure! If you think thats bad, you should see my little pink & white zebra vv mod! Here it is: :) Photo Details

I actually ordered it from GotVapes, but its not on their site anymore. Coincidentally the only place I have seen it lately is on the same site that I ordered my bright blue mini it the tiny little mirrored case! Chick gear all around!

hahaha, I do a lot of outdoor work and in the old days i always had a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. Now i'll have this in my tool belt or pocket and take a couple 36mg puffs every now and then and get right back to work. I guess i could always put a skull decal on it to make it a little more manly? lol
Thanks,Rob.

Yeah got two blacks and three steel ones. I'm a vape n00b but I already think that the minis will be my work and out and about pv's (did I get the terminology right) they are more convenient than my twists. Maybe I'm not a big vaper but been using one since two this afternoon and it's still going strong. I like 'em.
Sure I would like if mine could be turned off but it's no biggie.

my first mini ego from madvapes charges up to 3.93v and dies around 3.2v. my other one charges up to about the same, maybe a full4v if i remember correctly. so, when your mini is fully charged, a 2ohm carto will give about 8 watts- nice vape. but as the battery dies, your only getting 5 watts. so, a 1.8er is more suitable as the battery dies. or you could just charge the batt when it is around 50% or so if you were gonna use 2+ ohms.

I got the 1.8 ohm heads for the mini viva nova today. Still a disappointment on the mini eGo batteries.
On the eGo C upgrade battery much more vapor production and a noticeably warmer vapor too.
I think the best match I've tried on the mini eGo has to be the 1.7 ohm super shorty cartomizers that I got from madvapes.
Anyway, for me I'm thinking the mini eGo with these carts for stealth vaping and to accompany me when I travel, but my daily vaping will probably be on the eGo C upgrade with the mini viva nova, at least until something else new and shiny catches my eye...

for sure. completely agree that the mini cartos are the best for the mini ego. 100%. thats basically all i use on it. sometimes i slap a XL (1.8ml) resurrector on there. those work good on it too, but i wouldnt go any bigger or higher ohm than that. the battery isnt strong enough for anyhting bigger/higher res. at least for me anyway. but some folks are fine with higher ohms or a bigger juice reservoir. my gf does fine with 3ohm cartos on her mini.
