I wouldn't trade my Provari iTaste MVP for anything in the world, but do you ever miss that small form-factor and the motor-memory of analogs?

I ask because I was out to bar the other night didn't pack a spare batt for my provari so my vape-buddy let me borrow his blue-cig and I forgot how much I missed that feeling.

Maybe someday we'll see an APV "micro-sized" enough that it'll rest comfortably like a pen in your shirt pocket but still produce a good solid punch in the flavor dept.

I still take the cigalikes out to bars with me. I just feel more comfortable using something like that around a bunch of non-vapers. For me, the added weight of an e-cig made them lose a lot of the motor memory of analogs. I used to leave a cigarette hanging from my mouth from time to time. That's just downright uncomfortable with an e-cig.

Dunno...I bought a blu cig the other day cause I forgot my device at home......bleh.....As far as space is concerned a pack of cig and a lighter take up as much room as a medium sized mod like a provari, or a bolt with a tank attached.
The automatic draw of most e-cigs sold at gas stops and convenience stores is a big drawback for me.
On the other hand I know a bunch of people who like the e-cigs so one must admit that his opinion is his alone and take it at th

The last thing I want to do is use a PV that reminds me and others how stupid I was to ever smoke. And I sure as heck don't want to be confused with a smoker.

And it's highly unlikely there will ever be a micro-battery that will perform at the same level or even somewhat close to a good APV. The economics do not support it even if it was possible.

Just today I found an old Smokeless Image Volt cigalike and charging cable which was from my original startup setup. I thought momentarily about charging it up but then remembered I no longer have the appropriate 808-threaded cartomizers to use with it.

Besides, I also remember why I put them away in a drawer for good after getting my first mods. :p

The tiny 450mAh or slightly longer 650mAh eGo batteries fit nicely in a pocket, and don't look crazy at all with a small UDCT tank on it. Kind like a ciga-like but no thicker than an AA and about 5mm longer than a real 100's cig. Put a 2.0-2.3 resistance carto in the tank and it hit's pretty damn decent with the 3.7V. I go to bars with two of these in my pocket all the time.

No PCC or the like necessary, and no glowing tip that at least to me, I found a bit embarrassing when I started out on Blu's.

There are moments when using my puck mod feels like smoking my pipe. As far as the cigarette experience, it does nothing for me, and I smoked analogs for years. I want a good vaping experience, and I'm not going to get that from a cigalike. Moreover, with something that doesn't look like a cigarette, people ask me about it and I can tell them there's a way out of smoking that keeps you puffing without the tobacco.

true. if i can get a smoker interested in trying an ecig, i always feel like i've done a good deed.

also, i like having something different. most of us aren't smokers anymore, we don't want to be treated like smokers anymore, so why would we want to look like smokers?
