I've had a couple V2 cig-a-likes for a year. They were ok while they lasted, but not great and I've still been smoking analogs about 1/3 of the time. I found you guys last weekend and I now have a Provari and an eGo twist coming in the mail.

I just realized today that there is one thing neither of the devices is going to be able to do for me. I like to play a little online multiplayer game called World of Warcraft. When I'm playing competitively vs other players, I don't have any time to take my hands off the controls, so I like to bite down on my little automatic battery and puff on that while I play (or I did until it finally gave out last month).

Is there a good quality, lightweight automatic battery & carto/atty setup out there? I could always get another V2 or V4L, but I was hoping you guys might know of something a little better.

Smokeless Image's Volt cig-alike auto gets good ratings (I never tried it). I'm not sure what the thread type is, but suspect it's 808.

Although I use an SI Volt X2, that's rather large. Maybe you could clamp and puff on the 650 mAh, but I think it'd be a little heavy. Take a look and see what you think.

I play GW2, used to play WoW! I use an Eroll, its really light and the PCC gets you through hours of gaming lol. It sucks if i realize i dont have a tank full and have to refill mid instance though, but i guess you could burn through any cigalike tank in a few hours if youre not paying attention.


This is from Vanilla, full wildheart druid! I was playing a mage until the Pandaria expansion dropped. I really despised the new talent system and switched games to the new hot one

There's the Colibri Micro/Nano at epuffer. I've only heard about them, but they are the size of an actual cigarette and probably only last as long.

I've also heard good things about the Sidesho from Modern Vapor.

I have an Echo, which is a 650 mAh automatic 808 fat battery. I'm rather comfortable clenching it between my teeth. I'm doing so as I type this actually. It's even easier to do with a standard cartomizer versus the 3 mil ones made for the device. There are also auto eGo's out there as well, if all you use is 510 equipment.

Nice. I was a warrior tank in vanilla :). I had the whole dark iron set. I'm going to pull it out of the bank and transmogrify everything when I play my warrior again.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into those.



I wish i kept my old sets. I had so much stuff i vendored i was sad when they brought out transmog =(

If you pick up an eroll i use eliquids at 80/20 PG/VG from Wordupecig in it. They are thick for a high PG liquid so they hit nice, and still throw a good cloud. Also they never funk up the atomizer. Just have to be careful, sometimes air bubble can get caught at the bottom of the tank and prevent eliquid from flowing. Have to give it a little shake when its full if you run a thicker juice. Otherwise its the top of the line rechargeable cigalike in my opinion

You know I have to chime in LOL

Colibri Micro/Nano is 100% the size of a real cig and is 90 mAh just like the eRoll. It will last roughly 45-60 mins of normal to heavy use. It takes 30 mins or less to charge in it's PCC. Kit comes with 2 batteries and the PCC holds one fully assembled, 1 charging and 5 carts. Blanks and pre filled carts available.

SideSho is more powerful but slightly thicker and way longer. It's 180 mAh battery and will last 60-120 mins of normal to heavy use. It takes about 1 hour to charge. The PCC holds one extra battery, charges one battery and hold 5 carts. Blanks, pre filled carts and atty/drip tips available.

I'm a gamer girl (FPS!) so yes, having both hands free is a must. I also just bought an eRoll. Hope I don't get shot while filling a tank LOL

Yes.... the Smokeless Image VOLT is an 808 & I highly recommend it.

LOL, I used to play WoW...

I'm into GW2 now, needed a change!

But, I LOVE my smoov dangling from my mouth anytime I'm gaming :) It's a 3.7 volt, regulated battery so it stays true to form right up until the battery dies. V2s is what I started on and used those in WoW, lmao! But, to be fair, I used them for over a year and was always happy with them. Then again, I didn't know that anything else really existed!

+1 for the eRoll. Great vapor production, light, good TH. Price is right too!

I have the 'emini/eRoll' also... it's sweet, but IMHO the 'Smokeless Image' Volt is a better auto-batt system. The emini/eRolls aren't the 'easiest' to assemble or juice. The 'VOLT' is a much 'easier' system overall. Just my :2c:

:)

I use the eRoll now and previously used the smokeless image line. The SI is a fine system, but if I were to compare them the eRoll is so much easier overall and less expensive. I would go through 2 to 3 cartos a day and filling those are not as easy as the eRoll tank. You just need a needle top bottle or better yet, get a uCan to fill it. Mine should be in today, can't wait! You. Just pop out the tank and give it a squirt, no need to remove the tank cap. It also provides a better TH IMO.

That's a really good idea. I might actually do that.

You guys are giving me too many options :)
I take it there's no consensus in this category the way there basically is with the provari in the high end vv category?


Look at the length of the Eroll thread on here. I think there is a conensus that its the best, just no ones quite sure they should admit it yet ;)

Since I'm a writer, I needed something hands-free so I didn't have to stop typing after every sentence and pick up my PV. The eRoll is perfect for me. It uses the same attys as the eGo-C, so you get tons of vapor and good TH. You don't have to disassemble to charge, just put the whole thing into the PCC. Filling the tank takes seconds to do plus the tanks are so cheap you can buy a bunch and pre-fill. I have a Provari and twists and a bunch of other PVs, but when I'm working, I'm usually using the e-Roll. :)
