So I hate to sound like a groupie, but I gotta post this. I wanted to say that I ordered at 1:45pm pst and took the cheapie route not paying for the priority shipping. They are in California and I am in Florida. It is all ready here, so awesome for usps and apollo's ability to get an order out fast. I also wanted to make some comments regarding the AW IMR button tops from rtdvapor.com, they are a little long. I am going to get an o-ring so you dont see the small gap but it is there. In looking at the other 18650's I have that are not AW and are not button top but are supposedly 3000mah batteries those are longer than the AW's. The battery that ships with the apolloecigs version is smaller than both other batteries that I have, just something to think about in your battery buying. So far I am impressed with this company.

Just got mine too from Apollo. Actually 2 of them and same thing I ordered like 2 days ago and I'm in MD. That was just Crazy fast. One thing though, I think mine is mini. Is that possible? It's only a little bigger than an inch longer than my Kgo batt and 2ce ths size og my little 650mah batts. I really wanted a mini more. If this is the regular size I don't think I would want a mini. I have my battery charging now and can't wait to try it out. By the way there were no instructions on charging the battery do I just charge til it's green or longer like on my Kgo batt. Now just gotta figure out the Ohms to use on this bad boy. More learning to do.

O yea it also came with a super nice case. It's those little Ego cases that zip that say EGO on them and it fits in there perfectly with a little room to spare. Is this the standard size LT?

Update:I just looked at some youtube videos and I think I have the mini. So happy cause that's what I'd rather have.

I believe the mini takes the 18350. It is a short battery. If that is the battery you have, then you have a mini. The regular takes an 18650 which is a long battery, longer than most others used. The numbers should be on the battery.

Yes, just charge the battery until the light turns green on the charger.

Just looked and there is no writing whatsoever on the batteries. I measured it though and it'sexactly 5 inches. Is that the standard or mini? Now I'm leaning back towards maybe it's standard but if so I wouldn't want it any smaller. So whatever it is I'm happy. LOL Just want to know which though so I can order an extra batt. Also, what's the difference in say 1600, 2000 and 3000 mah. Do the higher numbers last longer or give off more power? Thanks for the help!

Did you measure the battery or the mod? The batteries should have numbers on them. That will tell you what you have. ETA: You will need to know which ones you have in order to purchase some extras. You should see either 18350 or 18650 on the battery somewhere. If 18350 you have the mini. If 18650 you have the standard.

The different mah can mean more sustainable power, but that can get really technical after they have been tested.

I measured the Lavatube not the battery. LT from end to end is 5 inches. But no theres no writing on the battery unless its on the ends and it's in the charger. Where would the writing be?

The writing should be on the side, on the battery wrapper. Interesting if not. Okay, does the battery have a little raised silver button on top or not? I looked at the website and it says the smaller ones 18350 are flat top, the larger ones are button top. Are the batteries long? Or about one inch?

I got my mini today too. I already had a regular size, so I am familiar with the performance.
Like it allot.:)

I didn't get a case that was supposed to be included, but I already have a couple of cases, so no biggie to me. But..... I did get a unique chrome drip tip instead of what's pictured on the site. Maybe they added it for lack of case? Thus far I've only tried one metal tip (a cheaper aluminum) and hated it. Thought that metal tips were not for me, but I love this one....... so it ended being a bonus!:D

Oh........... the mini rocks too.:D

Awesome deal by Appolocigs.

I would get on chat with them I am sure they will get it out to you. If yours came with the letter mine did, they said to call immediately if there were issues.

Not worried about it. As far as I'm concerned the cool tip was even better as it completed one of my chromed out kgo's with an empire shield. All good.;)
