BLUSH guys and thank you! I still say the MV SideSho has the best battery in the mini department though it is more like 120 long. I am using the eRoll now as you said. Of course all others listed are 'cig like' but not true cig size . Only the colobri/x3/njoy King are 7.8mm x84mm. (X4 is the size of a 510) As much as I am enjoying the eRoll, I would still ditch all of my minis for the njoy King IF they would smarten up about the price.

I personally own a Volt, and I love it. Beyond easy to use. Perfect for being out in a crowd when busting out a mod or APV might be a little out of place. Also perfect for stealth vaping. I use it in class. Looks like I'm chewing on a pen. I just hold my lungs and stealth vape. :)

I've heard a lot of good things about the eRoll, but I haven't seen or used one, though.

Glad you said that about the Sidesho DawnBella. I just ordered a kit tonight with some extras because I need something smaller than my Echo when I have to do a ton of walking at work. :)

Its a nice kit (PCC is really sweet) and their attys are really good too for dripping. I'm not a fan of their pre filled carts (not to mention a price bump recently) but they do sell blanks. I do love all the color options with MV too.

Anyone got a pic of the colibri and the eroll side by side for comparison ?

Awesome. Thank you very much for the pic and also your help via PM. The size difference isn't huge but it is a bigger difference than I thought it would be.
Don't forget about the fact that you don't have to take apart the eRoll to charge it in the PCC.
That is a big deal for many of us.
:)

While that is true. For me one the biggest knocks against the eroll is that the pcc doesn't have any slots to carry some extra filled tanks. I know i could just carry some extra tanks or a juice bottle in my pocket but in my experience alot of the handiness in a pcc is that I only need to grab the pcc and its contents to be good for the day.

Also note: I could not get a good pic of the diameter diff. The Colibri is 7.8mm wide and the eRoll is 8.4 (I believe) It's not the end of the word and I can vape the eRoll with no hands so the cone heat is not such an issue. Both are 90 mAh batteries BTW. The eRoll wins for vapor production, etc but again, if you want true size....

eRoll does rock, but why, why, why won't these e-cig vendors and manufacturers realize the very real and very large demand for orange LEDs and other real analog cig features? I want a cig-a-like that really fools my brain into thinking I'm smoking, not vaping. NJoy realized this. Smokers I try to convert to vaping realize this.

Search for the most recent thread I started. We were putting our heads together trying to understand why nobody has created an awesome true cig-a-like li,e the NJoy King, but also making it last longer than 30 minutes, perhaps by making it rechargeable (we even brainstormed and diagramed how they could make such a device). We also talked about the psychology of smoking and why people demand a true 1-to-1 cigalike. In summary, being a forum reader here since the very beginning, I noticed how the predominant subculture on these forums seem to prefer large, even modded PVs. I like those too, but I also like to take my "smoke breaks" during office hours, and I like both the look andnthe feel f the real thing while I take these breaks. Although when browsing these forums it may seem like large PVs,are,what the whole-world market demands, I believe that's a misrepresentation of the true market; and I think it may happen because people whompost on forums like this are typically younger, more tech savvy folk. The 50+ million smokers in the U.S., for example, are not on these forums for the most part. Those smokers would switch to vaping if someone made a true cigalike that worked well like the King but didn't cost $8 for 3 tobacco cigarettes worth of vaping.

The eRoll comes close, but why oh why haven't they realized that if they push just a little bit further they will have a chance at grabbing ALL smokers attention? Start by adding themoption for an orange LED (ismthere already a clone that has this?). For,those,who don't already know, the best thing about the eRoll is how after you take a couple of drags, you just snap it back in the charger, and there is no unscrewing the cart, no twisting in the batt, you just place it back in and the battery charges. This allows themunitmto pretty much stay charged all day long. So essentially JoyeTech figured out how to make an all-day battery without it being the size of a friggin' flashlight.
