Best super mini in your opinion? I'm looking to upgrade.

[Sykkelspruce]

I'm looking into upgrading at some point in the future but I'm not sure what to get. I know I want to stick with the super mini style. I know everyone raves about the 510 but that thing is way to long. Like smoking out of a slurpy straw by the looks of it.

What do you guys think? I've been reading reviews like crazy.

I wouldn't vote for ANYTHING that does not have a manual battery.
And I know the 401/402/403 series has some manual batteries available.

Although I did hear someone say that the RN4081 now has manual batteries available.
And if so, that is a really nice little atomizer to use.

And as a side note, the KR808D-1 is definitely not a super mini.

Oh I was going by photos I have been having trouble finding all the SM models

thanks for letting me know.

IMO...the 4081...it has it's quirks maybe, but it's one solid lil e-cig.

M403....All the way! I was a heavy smoker....Now a heavy vaper, and my m403 keeps me satisfied. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with one of these.

Like all the M-series but the 401 has the longest battery and I like that. Nice draw, strong vape and nice throat hit. Just ordered the extended carts.

A KR8 is not shorter than a 510, either, I should say. It is certainly not slimer. I would count neither among the super-minis. The 901 is the same size, btw.

Not to mention that one pays a high price for super-minis: They do give you less battery time, less vape, and often, less taste. Too high a price, as far as I am concerned.

If its a short battery that you want, get an M402 instead of the M403. The M403 is just too short with battery life imo. Also, the M402 comes with a manual option, which is good and has very good battery life for a battery its size. A very good compromise between looks and performance.

Well I am open minded on this upgrade but I still want to avoid pen style. I looked into that bb screwdriver that looked pretty compact.

I don't know.

 

[AlexTM]

510, 901 and also KR8s are hardly pen-styles. Each has a diameter of 0.9cm top to bottom. Lenght depends on the battery, of course, but a 510 with a short battery is 11cm, with a mega 13.5cm. KR8 on a 380mAh battery (the largest out there) is 14cm.

eGos are sturdier, but very long battery life. Might be too big for you, though. With adapters, they can use several other atties as well.

Ya know... I just finally found a site that said the 510 is 112mm long! is this with or without cart?

It looks like it's 3 feet in all the photos ha. It may still be a good choice then since my pv now is about 93mm with cart

Vapor4Life (KR8) now has shorty manual batteries available - makes for a very compact and convenient package. But the short size also makes for a shorter charge life.

 

[Spiker]

what about a 306a?

I have no experience with them, but there are KR808 super minis. There are more than 1 kind of KR808, most people are familiar with the KR808D nicknamed "KR8" that use cartomizers. But there are also KR808 A, B, & C? (not sure about C, but there must be)

Here's an example of a 3 piece KR808B super mini:
LeCig Super Mini 808B

And since the KR808 A&B are compatible with the 510, if you want a 510, but want a shorter length, you can get the mini-cartomizers to use on the 510. Discussed here:

That's with the cart, ready to vape.

 

[Sykkelspruce]

I did it! I got a 510! I know I originally said i didn't want one but I'm eating my words now. Just ordered the no box kit from cignot.com

 

[AlexTM]

Happy vaping!

I have only tried a 4081 and a 401/402. My fav so far is the 401 because the battery lasts the longest.

 

[justcloves]

The shorty battery and KR808d-1 cartomizer is only slightly longer than the cigarettes I used to smoke. I've had no problem with the fully charged battery lasting for about 10 hours - lots of use during 45 minute commute to and from work and a couple of short sessions at work. I always take a spare with me and haven't needed it yet. I only have autos now but have ordered manuals and am waiting with anticipation.

I like the 510 but with the mega battery.
