Here's a picture of the NettMix mini eGo with a mini vivi nova on it. I put a eGo 650 beside it to give some prospective to the size. I have a type D cone/sleeve on it and the drip tip is a stainless steel mini that I bought from a member here.
It's a Mawn SS Shorty. Search for the Mawn Drip Tips thread started by kcos and you'll see her stuff. Nice person, quality products and fast shipping. I know, drip tips are available from a ton of places, but I like to support the small businesses that are on the ECF, whenever possible.

My favorite vendor is selling a kit now. 2 batts, 2 cones, lanyard, case, 5 shorty cartos, charger, 2 drip tips - for less than $35. I may have to pick one up. But then I see a few posts back that vapor girl may start selling the batts only soon and I really like the variety of colors she has.


KGO batteries 1100mAh Don't know why the link says 1100 mah - this is the link to the mini batt kit.

I really like the ones from Vapor girl but i dont like the colors i just want black or SS, haha the other colors look to feminine for a guy but i like the cap option on it.

But this site looks like a really good deal too...hmm...decisions decisions!

Thanks for the pics guys, placed my order for a mini and tank :) can the battery last long enough to complete 1 mini 2.5ml or reg 3.5ml vivi nova tank?

I would doubt it

My wife got hers last night. The case is top notch. The battery is nice. Not 100% sure on the cartos yet. Love the look and design, but not got it broke in yet I guess as far as taste goes.

Hampa_D - The regular vivi nova looks great on it. The sleeve really makes a difference in its look and it also looks like it makes the connection point safer and more stable. I haven't used a carto since I got the mini vivi nova. They work fantastic and their so convenient. For me, I start in the morning with a freshly charged battery and a filled tank and I'm set for the work day. No carrying bottles with me or topping off anything. I also really like that the heads are replaceable. This really brings down the long term costs... Thanks for posting the picture!

I agree. The Mini Vivi works great with the mini. The battery does last through the entire tank of juice.

Wow, that's impressive. I bought mine more for novelty, but I carry my little kit with me all the time, just in case. I ended up breaking it out yesterday and using it all day at work and it lasted the rest of the shift after I started using it. Never did go dead. They're better than I though they would be. I'm actually really liking it more than I thought as a "useful" battery.
I'm going to slap a DCT on mine today and use them at work. Just to see what it's like. I do love the size and I can carry them in my scrubs easily without being seen.

Thanks, but I'm getting the mini Vivi, because I think that would fit inside my case. And that's the only reason actually.

That's what lead me to the mini vivi too. I tried the regular vivi, but I couldn't figure out a pocket friendly case for it.
I then went to the new stardust. Great size and fit, but the draw was too tight for me. I tired the mini vivi as a last resort before going back to cartomizers and I'm really happy I did. It works fantastic. Nice easy draw. Its much more convenient than a cartomizer. The filling is simple and I really like that the heads are replaceable. If they come out with a aluminum tube for it like they sell for the regular vivi, I think I would give it a try. Then again, you'd give up the convenience of looking at how much is in it at a glance like you can with the plastic tube. Other than that I think I'll be using the mini vivi for some time to come. I've given up on saying I'll be using something forever, every time I do something new and shinny catches my eye:)

Well, thanks to Kemosabe, I had to pick up a couple of them as well. Black from MadVapes and Stainless from CCV

Where do you get your tanks and carts? Would these work well with mostly vg juice?

Tanks, mostly from here . . .

Smoktech 3.5ml Dual Coil Tank (DCT)

Cartos from here. . .

Crystal Clear Vaping


Not sure about the VG question, though. I use mostly PG juice from NLV only. Never tried to use anything else in a Resurrector.

Where are you guys getting your mini Novas? I have a couple of the mini Egos I'd like to try them on. Thanks!

+1.

I just got my smoktech in and took it with me last night on the Duc, and it actually fit in my jacket pocket. Pretty good vape for not being vv and such a compact size!

Really? I love the "C8" clearo that comes with the Apoloe minis! It's bottom coil though, and I'm a big fan of the bottom coil.

I have a blue mini from thevaporgirl.com & I got a Smok mini from...uh, I don't remember *facepalm* I think it might have been madvapes.com

The one from TVG is definitely smaller, and I do wonder if they aren't, in fact, the 250mAh ones that someone else suggested they might be. Whatever they are, they're ... CUTE as HECK, and all my girls in my women's group want one now! *grin*

I'm also using super shorty cartos on my black Smok mini & it surprisingly hits like a freight train. I actually felt the hit from my 18mg popcorn juice - which hasn't happened in a loooooong time!

I'd very much like to also get a 450mAh mini, does anyone know where to find one???

i have also noticed tha tthe mini cartos hit harder than the bigger ones. i think its due to the size. the coil is pretty much in your mouth with the little guys. its like youre taking a hit hot off the coil. with larger cartos, the vapor has to pass through more material, which cools it and creates less "bang".

You are right. These are the XL (50mm 1.8ml). CCV calls these the 'resurrector' and the standard size is 'resurrector jr.'

indeed they do. i think CCV developed the nickname "resurrector jr" before the micro resurrectors came out.

So it looks like the eGo mini size is really taking off and with all the knock offs its really getting confusing.

The one I bought when I stared this thread was from NettMix and it is a 350mah which I have been told runs at 3.4v regulated.

Apoloe makes one that is rated at 350mah, but they sell it in a kit only. Some people have posted that it doesn't have 5 click off and no one has commented on the volts, so I have no idea.

Madvapes sells one that is even smaller, but still rated at 350mah and Kemosabe responded in this thread that it comes off the charger at 4.2v and dwindles down to 3.2v, so it must be unregulated.

Healthcabin has ones that are rated at 400mah and runs at 3.7v (maybe unregulated then?)

Anyway, I'm still using the ones I got from Nettix, but I'd really like to find the unregulated ones. The extra kick of running at 4.2v does make a difference. My other daily use batteries are the 650mah eGo upgrades. I really like how these run in an unregulated mode, coming off the charger at 4.2v and dropping as the charge drops.

My wife is going to kill me, but I just ordered a pair of the 400mah from Healthcabin and a pair of the 350mah's from Madvapes. I suspect from all I've read that the Madvapes ones will be what I'm after. From the posts I've read, they are the shortest ones and they do come off the charger at 4.2v. I figure I'll sell all the ones I end up not wanting in the classifieds here to recover some of what I spend and keep my wife from getting too mad:) I post which ones I find to be truly unregulated and provide the best fresh charge kick.

i could have sworn i was getting 4.2v when my mini egos were brand new. now i am retesting my findings and sure enough, 4v is all im getting. then again, i might have been overcharging them because of how quickly they charge. i have become accustomed to the approx 60 minute charge time and i dont overcharge the minis any more. that could be it. or it could have been the 500mah charger that i dont have anymore. that might easily get them up to the 4.2v range. or not. idk
