Hey all,

So I've been doing my research (including reading the entire 25 page bartleby thread ;)), and I think this mod is the perfect choice for what I'm looking for. That being said, I'd like to coax some opinions out of you bartleby users who started out with a standard 510. Also, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could snap a picture of their bartleby next to a fully assembled 510 for a size comparison. :)

Right now my dillema is between getting another couple $35 510 starter kits (to stock up and have multiple chargers), or to spend that on a bartleby instead. As most of you said, the cigarette look isn't as important to me as I thought it would be.

The battery life of the current 510 is decent for me, but I still need to make sure I've got charging in order before I go out. The bartleby would totally eliminate this. I'm also aware the bart operates at a true 3.7, while the 510 only puts out 3.1, has anyone found a notable difference in the vapor due to this voltage difference? I know the bart also holds peak voltage for much longer, so I'm sure that alone makes a difference. How's dripping with the bart? How many good hits are you getting from 2 drops on the atty?

Bartleby is amazing!!! I just got mine on Monday and already ordered a second one as a back-up. It is so tiny and yet so powerful. I drip only and get at least ten fantastic hits from just 2 drops. I have packed up all my other ecigs because i don't plan on using them ever again - they caused me so much frustration do to their inconsisty and batt deaths - M601/602, KR8, Greencig. All i will ever need to order from now on is juice and attys. Hands down get the Bartleby!!! I have the 510 version.

The difference between 3.1V and 3.7V vaping is certainly obvious to me. It may actually hurt some delicate flavors because of the increased wattage.. but on the flavors that I personally use, it makes them "better".

I certainly get more vapor at 3.7V, and I personally believe that my atties last LONGER between cleanings since they tend to "gunk up" less (I use only VG liquid).

The body of the Bart is just about the same length as a eGo/Tornado battery. The overall length will depend on whether you get a flush or recessed atomizer connection.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/video-reviews/43943-bartleby-pv-review.html << that's the bartleby thread, have fun reading :)

For anyone who's been following, I'm now deciding between a Bart ($64 shipped to me in Canada, damn "international" rate!), or some kanger batteries and a 510 adapter. Bart pro's? Battery life and passthrough :) Kanger pro's? Traditional size ("cig" like) and "true" 3.7v vaping, plus cheaper. Decisions...:(

I am a 510 user (reg and mega batts) and just got a Bart. The Bart rocks! For the money you can't beat it, IMHO. The 14500 (3.7V 900 mAh) is a great batt for vaping...stronger vapor, better TH and flavor, and last a LONG time. It is essentially a box mod with mini-USB charging port and LED indicators for vaping with strong batt (green) and charging (red). The pictures on Jays blog page do show the size, but for whatever reason everything looks bigger in pics. The Bart, if you have larger hands, will disappear in your fist, with only the cart sticking out. For $50 this a very well-built, solid little vapor demon. The added voltage across the coil, compared to the regular 510 batts, makes the atty operate much better, and attys I had that I thought were hopelessly clogged are now coming back to life. It charges really quickly, and so vaping while plugged into a USB is essentially infinite vaping. Offline depending on your vaping habits, it will last at least 4-5 hours of chain vaping. But I'm also finding that the vaping is so much more satisfying that I vape less now than with reg or mega batts, where the 510 was more a pacifier.

Just great all round. Wish I have gotten one earlier now. Likely will be putting the other batts away. Get one. You will not regret it.
