I'm looking for something to use at work and these might work. Do you think they will last 8-9 hours with little use?

They estimate that the battery can last about 650 puffs for the 350 mAh eGo mini battery, so yes if you are a light vaper, it can last all day. You could perhaps just keep a back up battery in your bag.

What's funny is that it seems a little too tiny to me now. When I first started, the 650 Ego battery seemed big. Now it seems small, perfect for stealth vaping. The mini just seems SO small.

Don't get me wrong. I'll probably still end up getting one for fun. And probably in a pretty color too!

Yes...if you aren't vaping a lot, you should be fine for the full day. I went out of town for 5 days a few weeks back and wasn't vaping much, mainly at night when i was relaxing, and somehow I never had to charge it once the entire trip. (that was definitely light vaping..but I was still shocked)

Gotvapes now has the 400mah Vision Mini's. About the same size as he others we've discussed in this thread, but 3.7v so a bit more powerful. I bought a couple of these from Healthcabin and I'll post a picture of them when they arrive. I went with the cheap slow boat shipping so it will be awhile.

I also saw a mention in a Gotvapes post that they have a Vision Mini 300mah VV model coming soon.
I can't wait for these to be available, the combination of the small form factor and variable voltage up to 4.8v will be perfect!

Nice to see these short form factor devices taking hold in the market.
My eGo twist is my favorite device, but the length has only bothered me.

I like my ecigs like I like my woman, short and fat instead of long and skinny :)
Good thing my wife doesn't read my posts, I'm sure she'd love this comment.
Maybe I'll create a thread titled "does this ecig make me look fat?"

I got my mini-Egos from Dragonfly for $11.95. Here is a size comparison picture! :) I believe it is the same model as the Health Cabin one. They are super small & super sexy!!! I loveee it :p Works great!

PM me if you have any questions about it.

I see that you found your way here with the link I provided :).

If your time to edit the posts haven't expired yet, it would be polite to go over and delete the links (to the other vendor) from your post (in Health Cabin's private forum). There is a place for everything.

Peace, and welcome to the ECF.

All of the colors are available at Vapors Choice in these kits: Ecig starter kits

They also sell the batteries seperately for $9....it only shows that 2 colors are available in the batteries only section, but I emailed and asked if I could get one of the different colors since they have them for the kits, and they said to either let them know in email, or just put it in the order comments. For $9, I will probably be grabbing a couple more...I LOVE my blue one so far

Thanks for the info. I never would have thought to ask. Ooooh, pretty colors! And, for only $9 each!

I would recommend against purchasing the mini-eGo battery as a kit if you would like to use your own favorite brand of clearomizer or cartomizer with it & save a bit of money. You also do NOT need a case as the point of mini-eGo is portability and it easily slips into your pocket. I have personally found that my 400mAh 3.7V regulated mini-eGo with a 1.8ohm low resistance mini vivi nova clearomizer tank does indeed last me through the day & has consistent performance. I was a half-a-pack smoker, but I vape quite heavily.

The cheapest 400mAh mini-eGo I have personally found is from health cabin for $10.99. I bought mine from dragonfly ecigs since I live near its brick & mortar store. Also, I would highly recommend the mini vivi nova clearomizer tank as it has virtually no leakage issues & for a device that lives in your pocket, that is very important. I personally prefer clearomizers over cartys myself.

Cheapest i found is from chinabuye, 5,98usd free shipping. Mine hasn't arrived yet so I can't comment on the quality but everything is bought from that site has worked great and still do.

I know a lot of people have said they like the carto that comes with the Apoloe kit. So has anyone had any leaking or burning issues? And any luck on cleaning? They seem kind of pricey to be disposable. One more question, can you use a different drip tip on them? Never used one so I don't know how different styles fit together.

I like the clearo that comes with the apoloe kit...I haven't had any leaking, or burning and taste issues. It hits pretty hard too. I haven't cleaned mine yet, as I don't use if often. After finding the colored smoketech shorty cartos, those are what I have been using on them. THey work great, and look adorable, especially with a shorty drip tip. MadVapes has them...they come in yellow, blue, red, and clear. (all of them are technically "clear", just tinted with those colors).

Someone posted on how to clean the Apoloe clearo that comes in the kit...let me try and find that thread and I will post it here.
