I have one from Nettmix and one from madvapes. I was surprised that the one from MadVapes (made by Smoktech) is even shorter that the one from NetMixx. Battery life on both is pretty decent. It's a great backup device.

For comparison, this is the smok mini with a Super Shorty carto, ego cone, and drip tip standing next to a bare 650mah eGo Twist -

I have the pink and orange. I love them but haven't actually used them yet. I have been showing this pic all over the forum for about a month now, and no one has ever noticed :p. eGo Mini - last on the right. Cap for the orange one is on the embossed eGo-Q.

Very nice collection of ego's you have there. Ever sense i got my ego twist i have been eying all the different variations of the ego and have plans of starting a collection of my own.
So far i have 2 twist 1000mah's and 1 ego (clone?) 900 mah.

Ordered two. Got the 350mah version. Very impressed. Love eGo and the size was exactly what I was looking for.

Picture one is with a 510 Bauway 2.0ohm Atomizer.

Second picture is with a Clear eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer.

YAY!!! I actually looked on Victoria's site the other day and didn't see them...had a feeling she'd be the first to carry them! Just placed my order for the blue.....even though it was SO hard to pick which color....went back & forth between the green, pink and blue for about 40 min! I grabbed one of those paisley batteries too. Can't wait to try the mini!!

@ g12528

I vape moderately most of the time. Depends on how busy it is at work. One battery lasts ME most of the day, around 6 hours. If you are vaping heavily I would assume 3-4 tops. I carry two with me for the day. Works perfect for me, plan on ordering two more. I love the form factor of these, very, very small. Also, the switch protection is a great feature. Also you can use a REGULAR batter charger on these. A 420mah charger IS NOT NEEDED. A great backup, although I do use them as mains.

Hi Mondo: Is the smoktech one fatter than the other one?
Could you post a side by side picture of the two?
I've got four of the nettmixx ones, but I gues I'll have to try the madvapes ones too now :)
Thanks!

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.....

I just triggered an order for a vivi nova mini to try with these batteries.
The diameter is supposed to be identical, so I'm thinking it might be a good match.
One freshly charged battery and a full mini vivi nova should last through my work day, so I'm hoping it does work well.
Remember having to carry a pack of cigarettes and a lighter every day? Nice to have just this little guy instead...

I was disappointed in the new stardust, the draw is so much tighter than the cartomizers that I ended up giving up on it.
It did look good on these batteries, but.....

Thanks Robert! I absolutely love my eGo's and actually I got a few more since I took that pic last month. If you are going to get a whole lot in the future, I would definitely advise getting one of those mega multi chargers that can charge 10 at a time (if necessary) and have slots behind each charging slot when you can keep your charged batteries.
They charge any ecig like 510's, eGo's, 808's, Twists, Minis etc. You just need adaptors. Since I have a ton of devices that I am vaping on all the time, and a whole lot more charged ones, it has really cut down on the clutter!!

Thanks Dragonbone,
I will keep that in mind. Well more like On my wish/want/need list,lol. I haven't seen those on any of the sites i have looked over real well but here recently i have been bookmarking a lot of new sites and so many in fact i have not even had time to look over some of them ,other then the one item that led me there.
I am very happy to have found this thread and see that I'm not alone in the desire to have a collection of ego/ego style batteries. I have already pointed out your picture to my wife and she leaned in closer to my screen and said "Hmmm, now those are pretty"...So that helped my case with her on me adding to my collection,lol.
Thanks again and have a nice weekend,Rob.

Thanks Rob! Btw, everything in my pic is from Health Cabin. Also if you click on my profile and look at my photo album, you will see a new pic of eGo's that I uploaded yesterday.
If both you and your wife are vaping on eGo's, I really recommend the mega charger! If you have any questions feel free to ask :).

Happy vaping :vapor:!

The Smoktech is exactly the same diameter as the Twist. The one from Nettmix (the blue one) is ever so slightly fatter, but hardly noticeable.

Hey everybody! ,I just got myself one of the minis from MV's
Adore!
My question is what ohm carto to use. I much prefer a 2 ohm boge on my kgos, are the 2's ok to use on the mini? I remember the starter kit 510 I bought first ( and used LESS than a week) said nothing under 3 ohm and comments on the forum about ego "mofsets" (sp??) not supporting duel coils? Those rules led me to the set up I currently use, and satisfies me, a few Kgos w/ 2 ohm Boge. I REALLY like the size of the mini, and it seems to be pretty powerful, after first charge, (way more than regular 510) so will it be ok to use LR on mini, and how about the EMDCC? I saw that it the pic above. If I can use 2's I will probably buy one in every color!! :)
Sage advice appreciated!
Thanks Y'all

Is anyone else having trouble with their mini battery, or did I just get a dud? Randomly, for no reason at all, I'll go to use the mini, click the button...and it will decide I just clicked it 3 times to turn it off. *blink blink* I don't get it. Also, mine is a 3-click shut off, not 5 - is that part of the issue, that mine's just wired weird? Heh.

Also, if you got the kit with the matching clearo (that has the dustcap), how do I clean it? Also, the wick on it has become more & more apparent; I now see a good deal of the wick & it sticks to the side of the tank. ??!

I absolutely adore the small size, it's freakin' adorable & all the girls in my women's group want one now! heehee! I'd also like to try the netmix 450mAh one, and I do like that the netmix ones are different shades than the others.

I really liked the clearo it came with at first too, but it seems to be hitting differently the more the wick moves around & it's making me nervous. I don't know if the wick usually just is coiled around the bottom of the tank, or if it is actually coming out of the coil somehow!

But the button thing on my battery is wicked irritating, and I just wondered if anyone else experienced this?
