I am sure this has been asked a million times already but its too hard to search through all the forums and decipher al of the abbreviations etc... so here it goes.

I would like a slim battery that will be about the same diameter of my Kanger mini protank 2 and one that has removable internal batteries that can be recharged. Does such a thing even exist and if so are they strong enough and long lasting enough to even mess with.
I currently have a KGO battery and it does a pretty good job but as the days of analog free mount up my vaping is also increasing.
I am not into the VV yet and things like that, I just go with a 2.5 ohm coil and hit a lot of 100% VG Vanilla (yes, I am a super noob)
Any and all suggestions are welcome!
Thanks all!

Something like this might work for you SVC "Squall"- 14500 Battery APV with a good battery AW IMR 14500 600mah LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery and charger.

I think that is just a Kgo under a different name but a good suggestion all the same.

I think you are going to be pretty limited in your search. Just too many limitations with this model type.

If size is that important, then I would suggest branching out and look at the iTaste V3 which is probably the same size or a little smaller than the Kgo but comes with a built in 800 mAh battery that will give you 7 - 8 hours on a charge and doubles as a pass-through:

Innokin iTaste VV ( V3.0) Variable Voltage and Variable Wattage Express Kit

There are very few VV/VW mods with this size of battery basically because this size of battery is just too small and under-powered for VV/VW, resulting in poor performance and short battery life. The majority of mods this size do not sell well because of this, so it is not worth the risk for mod manufacturers to develop a mod for this battery.

There are several mechanical mods that use a 14500 battery. The Altsmoke "BB" and "Alpha", the Super T Manufacturing "Simplicity", and the Provape "Provape-1" to name a few. I have a black BB and my daughter has pink & purple. All of these have a 510 connector, so any juice attachments which use an ego threading (which I believe the mini Protank uses) will need a 510-ego adaptor. My daughter and myself use the regular Protanks and iClear 30 which use a 510 thread connector.

No, the Kgo/Ego doesn't have a removable/replaceable battery, and they are a couple mm narrower in diameter

Except the Innokin vv3 doesn't have replaceable batteries, as the OP asked for

I may have been confusing the Kgo with the E-Power which definitely had a removeable battery. And on the iTaste V3 suggestion, that is why I said he may need to "branch out".

The E-Power 14650 has been around for a couple of years and some vendors still sell it. Some versions feature the original 510 connection only and others have the newer 510 and eGo connection head.

The E-Power 14650 uses a 14650 battery which is the same diameter as the 14500 but 15mm longer. The outside diameter of this mod is 17mm. You should use only two types of batteries with this rig. Protected ICR 14650 1050 mAh or non-protected IMR 14650 950 mAh. I strongly recommend using the safer 14650 IMR. Efest makes a nice 14650 IMR.

This APV is what I would call semi-regulated. It will regulate voltage to 3.7V until battery voltage drops below 3.7V. Below battery voltage of 3.7V the output voltage equals battery voltage. This rig will show voltage drop under load but if equipped with a low resistance atomizer of around 1.8 ohms it can provide a very nice vape. You can use tanks on these.

I used my E-Power 14650 for a year and quit smoking with it. It still works and I still have it around.

Giving this a bump. I've been searching for a few hours today looking for something similar in the eGo size range but smaller than the provari or the evic/emode. I had one from Joytech awhile ago, the eCab which let you change out the batteries but it was too small and flimsy, so looking for something in the eGo size range. Really surprised something like this isn't available on the eGo or a knockoff type competitor.

I guess I will be going with the ePower. Can you connect that to a kanger mini tank?
