I just got a pair of the 350mAh ones in a sample order from China the other day. I'm really suprised how long the battery lasts considering how tiny they are. Got one black and one orange. Really like the orange, don't see to many eGos that color. These are the perfect stealth device

Which site did you order from? I'm trying to find where to get the ones in those colors that will ship to the US

Can't wait 'til they turn this small size into a twist! That's when I'm slapping down my money!

Not sure there will ever be a twist in this size, as the control board or chip that controls the VV adds some length, is why a 650 twist is longer that a standard 650 battery, they could do a 350mah twist if someone wanted to though, it would just be a bit longer

I've been using these batteries with silver colored super shorty 1.7 ohm cartomizers that I got from Madvapes. I've been very happy with these cartomizers, but like most of us here, I'm always on the look out for newer and better :)
Gotvapes just today announced the new Smoktech shorty 2.0 ohm cartomizers and they are recommending them for use with the eGo mini's. I couldn't resist and just ordered some. Here's the link to them if anyone wants to check them out...

SMOKtech Shorty 22mm Carto : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

When I first bought the eGo mini's it was on an impulse because they looked cool.Now they've become the only PV that I'm consistently using. They perform like their bigger brothers yet the small size lets you blend in like cigarette looking ecigs do.
The ecig industry keeps marching forward.....

Great thank you - those are so cute and exactly what I want! It doesnt look like that site will ship to the US based on their Shipping page.

Does anyone know of any other sites in the US (or that ship to the US) that sells the colored mini batteries like in the link in the post above?

Pretty sure they will. I'm in Australia and I emailed them and they said just to send them an email with what I want and they will tell me how much for shipping :)

I chose to buy from here instead though, you need to make an Alibaba account and send them a message. $7.20 each but $35 for DHL shipping so makes more sense to buy a bunch at once.

Ooooooohhhh! Never thought of that!!!!!!!! I don't have any gel or light though. Any ideas where i can get that? That doesn't cost too too much?
I use the clear UV top coat nail gel. No name Chinese generic, from eBay (in a brown bottle).
You can get cheap UV lamps on eBay too. Just make sure it has two UV bullbs. Do a step, cure, do another step cure etc. Anyway, then obviously first practice on something else, like a small pill box or whatever... then finally file down and buff if the crystals are inside the gel, othewise, apply in very thin layers and cure and repeat until perfect.

Did you buy those crystals joined in sheets, and then wrapped the battery? Or did you apply each one individually?

I apply them individually. I used to make razor cellphone cases when the razors first came out and sold them on ebay. Now you can buy cases for $10 on amazon, but they don't use Swarovskis. I only like the Swarovski crystals because nothing else reflects like a Swarovski. They are around $45 for 10 gross of ss9 which is what i used on the mini. I probably used 3 gross on it.

Great info - thanks! I love those paisley design batteries they have too...so maybe I will snag a few things. The colors on those mini's are just so much cuter than the colors I am seeing on some of the other sites in the US...and I have most of those colors on my regular eGo's already anyway!

Are you referring to what they have listed as the "eGo Small Kit"? This was kind of mis-leading on their site, since its under "eGo mini kits", but it looks as though this is the regular eGo, 650mah battery. The mini's are actually 350mah and therefore even smaller in size than this one. (its not very prominent on the page, but lower down in the description it says its the 650mah, if I am reading it properly.)
